"You just relax, Hazen. I'll explain it all to you in a bit." Johnny picked me up while I was unconscious, along with Hui, and took us both to an abandoned cave, where he lit it up, and tidied it up. He also made me medicine, because all those arrows were tipped with different elemental magic, and some also had poison tipped. "Sorry! Sorry! I didn't know this would have happened if Onee~San followed that man's orders! I'm really sorry!" Hui continuously apologized at me, yet I couldn't help myself but smile. "N..o... need... to worry, about it.." I was tired as heck, and Johnny forgot to gaher some berries at the Dragon Dimension . Apparently Hui wanted us to forgive her sister by staying with us, helping us leave this dimension, and it seemed that Johnny had no intention of telling her what he was going to do there. He then asked Hui to help him narrate the story.
"Okay, so , according to Hui, the flugres have been diminishing in numbers, and that they needed both financial support and the strength to be able continue living on. Since every other race disregarded the flugres because of there once warrior intent. They themselves tried to call it back, but to no avail, as they were to use to the peaceful nature of life and all that stuff. They were only left with the option of relying to either themselves, the humans, or the reapers. Since at that time , LesLout didn't have the strength to protect the flugres, and they themselves had lost the opprotunity to help themselves, Trine's only option was to request aid from the reapers, who she had so very despised for personal reasons, that Hui nor any flugre knows about. Anyhows, after that, Trine met up with Raizel, and became very fond of him, she considered him as the only decent reaper out there, yet little did she think that this was to happen. You see, although the flugre have a very warlike instinct, they are loyal to everything they say, and have never broken a promise, never in the history of the flugre. So, Raizel took a deep advantage of this, asking them only two requests. The first was that they should have a force teleportation at the spot we teleported to , and they were to defend it, and the other request was that they were to aid them in any crisis. Trine bluntly accepted this, without knowing that she was playing into Raizel's traps, as he was always a tricky one. After Trine had met up with Raizel, she simply asked that he would help them in their time of crisis, which he accepted. Hui knows all of this, because Juni was there, as she was second in command of the army. Juni was a sister anyone would have been proud of, yet Hui had no talents, so she stayed home, knitting a scarf for her older sister. Juni told her all about the meeting, and that she was chosen to protect the Flugres. You see, according to Hui, Juni and Hui are both thousands of years old, and that this treaty was signed some few hundreds of years ago, as the concept of flugres defending there dimension was quite new at that. LesLout was about 60 at that time, and due to his special aging magic, he was able to live much , much longer (Kind of Like Remote CCD's time stop power) . As they defended it, hundreds of years have passed, and almost every month, someone tried to enter, and according to their treaty , they had to go and slay them, which Juni hated alot (Hui nodded at this saying that Juni was extremely kind-hearted, but was forced to do such wicked things, which was probably the reason I'm still alive) but was forced to do nontheless. " After that, Hui took over.

"As Johnny here was saying, Onee~San hated doing all those mean things, but were forced to abide it, because of the treaty that Trine signed with Raizel, but he himself didn't break it either. He would usually send supplies for us, and also soldiers, which were disciplined in such a way, they would never remember the days they lived in the Reaper Society. After all this, about a few hundred years passed, before the current council occured and where Trine realized Raizel's dark intents , however she was sworn by the treaty to listen to him, and this was the time he claimed his second wish. He asked us to gather an army of 20,000 people, and split it, half to the Human Dimension, and Half to the Demons. That was about all I know, after that, you have to ask Trine about it herself. In my personal opinion, if I was in Trine's shoes, I would never have accepted such a ridonculous request, rather I would have demanded an equal request on both sides, but , I'm not the queen, so I can't do squat.Well then, on to the next topic. Why did you come here in the first place?" I was getting tired of listening, but I understood it. Most of the time, however, I was fighting off the urge of Nezah coming back, but I understood the jist of it.
" We're here to avenge our comrades, and to know the strength of the flugres, well the latter is more of a personal reason, you can ask Hazen, he's the lord of the human now, so if you want the reason , ask him." Johnny said, pointing to me. Hui shifted her death gaze towards me, and I stammered a bit. "Wa..wait a ... wait a sec! Let me just try to comprehend the mass of words you told me. Hui, we came here just due to Johnny's request, else I would've wanted to go to the Dragons First, knowing that was where he would have most likely striked first. So, anyways, just let me rest a bit , can you?" and I went to sleep. When I woke up, I saw Hui's small face ontop of mine, and I saw Johnny grinning, as if he was goign to push Hui's face downwards, onto mine, but he didn't, thankfully. He had a tray in his hand, and in it, there was food, and a plastic container. "There are three bowls. The smallest is for me, and the biggest for Hui. Put the contents of the plastic container into the soup to make it more tasty and more healthy, at that, oh, and Hazen, you take this (Hands me a plastic bottle) " I then looked at the bottle, and then peered into it, smelling it, and such. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU GIVE ME? First off, why is there a poison sign on the bottle, why does the powder look like and smell like Arsenic? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME YOU DAMN BRAT?" I was a bit to angry, but what the hell did he try to do, and I saw a small smirk on his face.
"Aww, no fun, you noticed. Anyways, the label was just a misprint, and although it smells and looks like Arsenic, it isn't , trust me, if you want, I'll take it all. It's a special concoction I made using the poisonous berries and the healing berries of the Dragon Dimension, and of course I did gather the healing berries of the DD (Dragon Dimension) , why wouldn't I? I even brought some seeds, and the required data to grow them. So, you want me to tell you why I did all this? Well, the healing properties would heal you , of course, but it wouldn't do anything else, however the poisonous berries, however deadly they are, have beneficial properties, like rich in calcium, iron, those kind of things. So I diluted it, and mixed it with the stamina and gold berries, such that it's poisonous effects won't be that potent, but it will still sting, and it tastes like dirt with worms in it, but, if you don't eat it, I'll force it into you, and you don't want to know how I'll do that (Shows a creepy grin) . " I decided to listen to him.

It tasted horrible. The taste was indescribable, like, it was like mixing up dead silk worms, with a carcass of a small animal, with snake skin, along with dirt, and then a sprinkle of poop , well, I just can't tell you how bad it tasted, but the effects were almost immediate, however. I felt a surge of energy, and literally after taking one half spoon of it, I felt like a new born . All the wounds seemed to vanish, and it seemed as though all my stamina returned, and my 'Tap' replenished. "Man, It tasted miserable, but man is it good! Nice make, Johnny! You have to teach me how to make it sometime." and I started taking in more and more, but Johnny stopped me after my second spoon. "First off, do not overdose, you may as well die, and second off, this is the only supply I have. I didn't find merely enough berries, so, after this war, we will set up our own miniature farm of this, then you can consume it like air, you got that? Oh, and Hui, I have a request. May you stay by our side, till the end of this fight? Such that we can make a peace treaty with you, and have you as our witness?" and she thought about it for a while.
"What's is in it for me?" and I told her, before Johnny. "Johnny here will fix up your sister, making her brand new, and we will personally fix the chaos going in your dimension, and all we ask of you is to make a peace treaty with us, with the simple rule that we both do not engage in fights against eachother, and we will help eachother out in need, that sound reasonable enough?" and she accepted it after hearing that Johnny will help her sister. "Oh! Thank you! By the way, were is Juni?" and Johnny showed a smile. "In my room!" and Hui seemed to blush instantly, trying to attack Johnny. "What the hell are you trying to pull? What are you going to do with my innocent Onee~San! You Pervert!" and Johnny seemed to backtrack a bit, seemingly nervous. "No, no! Not in that sense! I just let her sleep in my bed, so that she can rest, because Hazen here is a greedy hog, and I doubt you and her can both fit in the couch. It took quite a bit of my SE to create all this, so please, be thankful. This cave is small as it is. We are going to leave tomorrow morning, to meet with Trine, and learn more about this treaty, and how to escape, so, I'll ask you again Hui, will you be with us, and become our witness? While Juni is weak, I'll carry her, but if you don't trust me, I'll make a wagon for her to travel on." and she seemed a bit pleased. "Alright, but no touching Onee~San. I don't trust you two, especially you, Johnny." and he seemed quite embarrased himself, but I could tell he had other ideas.
After all that, we decided to go to sleep, resting for the day to come by next. I just wondered how far Raizel's conquest has occured, and whether or not he is listening to Master's wishes, or if he is doing this by his own accord. I then took off my arm cast, and fell onto my bed, having nothing to do, because I was still grounded from using my phone. "You can use it only after you pay off your debt." he would say whenever I asked for it, and I couldn't grab it from him, either. I just wondered how Mikasa trained him, and whether he did what 'he' taught us as well. Does he really have that knowledge, especially about 'that'? If he did, then I think Raizel himself would think twice before engaging Johnny. I then closed my eyes, and dreamt about a peaceful days, but then, in my dream, it turned into a horrible nightmare, in which I was slain by Johnny, and with Johnny was Raizel. I knew my duties well, but I know that he wouldn't do something. I woke up instantly, and it was dead night, around 2:00 AM , and I tried to move my aching joints. "Man, that wore off quickly! I feel like an old man again, so better heal the old fashioned way ehh? Well then, time, do your job!" and I went back to bed, ready for the upcoming day.

A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.

League Of The Void
In ancient times, so long past that even the few immortals still around can barely remember, there existed beings who no one could stand against. Four entities of such might, reality eagerly bent to their very word. But they had a problem common men are not usually around for long enough to experience. The indifference of time. The ever-repeating cycle of events. Live a thousand lifetimes and everything is one big replay. Same events, different faces. Different events, same faces. Like a bad movie, on repeat forever. And yet, time presses on relentlessly, never stopping, never wavering. Pointless. Indifferent. The supreme ones would not accept it any more and so they decided to sleep, waiting for change to come. They separated the void, their home, from the other planes of existence and fell into a mindless state of unconscious bliss. Aeons came and went, until one day, change would finally come. That day is soon to arrive now, the veil concealing the League of the Void about to be lifted.
