《The Coin of Fate》Chapter 48 time for family
Advertisement
"Oh dear, this is bad. Not too bad, buuut... kinda bad? No, it's really bad. Probably not too bad... Lets hope it's not that bad.
I was cleaning up my library and... I lost misplaced the writing pen that Mother gave me.
There are kinda too many of us faeries around... and Mother is kinda busy so she does not tell us 'happy birthday!'.
But she gives us a gift the moment we are made. That gift is different for every faery and it's really powerful!
My writing pen can... should I even write this down?
My writing pen can use Mother's power to control the Plane of Creation.
Not like Mother does obviously! There is a teeny tiny part of Mother's power inside my pen.
It can change the reality with what it's written with it."
-Bee May, the faery of knowledge
"Lets hope I just left it somewhere and no one took it!"
Sidon rushed to get Little Wolf. While Mira fought Little Wolf she always stopped when he fell unconcious and the tether that connected his back to the cocoon where Fianna was in never disappeared before. It kept sending a trickle of Demonic energy to the cocoon, this time Mira did not stop, she was not playing with Little Wolf anymore, she was seriously trying to hurt him. Sidon jumped to his feet and tried to stop the young woman but the water was faster. The cocoon was still there but he did not know how it really worked so, he carried Little Wolf to the cocoon and let him touch it.
Sidon could feel the slow and powerful heartbeats coming from inside Little Wolf's body. He just hoped that the Demonic energy inside the cocoon was enough for his wife and the interruption did not cause problems to it.

He certainly could not predict that when Little Wolf's hand came in contact with the Demonic energy cocoon, the cocoon became undone and the Demonic energy flowed into Little Wolf. As the cocoon disappeared, Fianna came into view of Sidon. She was on her feet exactly like when Safe stabbed her some time ago, her eyes were closed. Apparently she was still unconscious and because there was nothing to sustain her, she started her descent to the ground.
Sidon caught her and laid her on the grass near Little Wolf, he made the two hold hands. It might do nothing or it might help Fianna. Even if it did nothing, Fianna loved her son, their closeness might help her anyways. Sidon stood watch over the two beings that meant the most to him for a while. Little Wolf was still unconscious while Fianna... She did not look dead, she did not look alive either... She did look like a younger version of her.
After trying to nurse his two loved ones for a while, rather uselessy too, Sidon remembered where they were. The Pond of Life! The water might help Fianna! So he ran to the pond, used his big hands to gather some of the water and splashed it on Fianna's face. The only evident result of his action was that his wife's face was... wet. That did not mean it would not work if he used more water. So for what could be a couple of seconds or minutes... Sidon rushed from the pond to Fianna's side, he did not count how many times he threw the 'magic' water to his wife. He just had to throw some more... Throw! How could he be so stupid! He jumped inside the pond, the scar on his chest shone crimson red, with the extra strenght from the Demonic energy coursing through his body he started to splash what was basically a tidal wave towards his lover and son's body.

The water from the pond was unending and Sidon gave his all to try and deplete it onto his loved ones. Fianna woke up, she tried to sit up but the strenght of the water threw her back to the ground.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" She yelled as she jumped to her feet. "SIDON! ARE YOU FUCKING TRYING TO DROWN ME!?"
Sidon stopped throwing water and his scar stopped glowing blood red.
"Fia! You are alive!"
"Yeah, you suck at drowning people! If you wanted me dead you could have just thrown me under the water!"
"Oh, right I could have put you inside the water..."
"WHERE YOU REALLY TRYING TO DROWN ME!?"
Fianna shook her fist towards her husband.
"Wait, why is my hand so pretty? And why is my voice so... young?"
She rushed towards the pond, she was so out of it that she did not notice that her other hand was still held tight around Little Wolf's hand. So she dragged him with her on her journey. The pool of water was so clean she used it as a mirror.
The first thing she noticed was her wet hairs, they were back to her vibrant fiery red. The silver streaks in her hair were gone, now there were some blood red locks in their place.
Then her eyes, her green eyes now had the same scarlet reflexes that adorned Sidon's brown ones.
After that she focused on her face, there were no more wrinkles, her skin was so pure and clean that it could challenge Little Wolf's.
She put her hands to her face, just to check if the water was really showing her the truth. In that exact moment she noticed that she was still holding Little Wolf's hand.
"I-I-I'm young again?"
"Yes my dear and, quite strong too."
"Oh, right."
And as she let go, Little Wolf fell to the ground.
"Owie, Mira... Could you please let me rest? You hit me hard enough for the moment."
Little Wolf cried and tried to turn the other way, maybe if he did not see his tormenter, she could not see him.
"She is gone son, the water took her inside and she disappeared."
"What? Really!?"
Little Wolf jumped on his feet.
"The water is so clear that I can see the bottom, she's not there!"
"It's true, I saw it happen, the water spun around her and dragged into the pond, then she disappeared."
"I can believe it, this place is really strange, this water is really strange." Added Fianna. "Now that I think about it, I can't drown in this water... So, you were not trying to kill me!"
"Dad! Did you try to kill mom?"
"No son. Fia, I just tried to save you. And please, don't put strange ideas inside our son's head."
Said Sidon, after all of his hard work to keep his family alive... How could they doubt him like that!

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
