《GODFALL》5 Dimmer Sunshine
Advertisement
Mother's hums lull me, a warm light on my skin- Her hums go away to the sound of children screaming. I open my eyes and and large gaping maw hangs over me. The jaws clamp down, I keep them from shutting, my gut gives again, but another pair of hands pull them apart. The jaws crack and bend unnaturally. A knife goes into the scaly creature's eye, an angel pulls it out and it goes into it's large skull. It falls on top of me.
The man lifts it off with ease and looks down at my stomach. "Damn." I blink- Demons surround a baby, smiling wild, hammers in hand. I doze off and the baby screams.
A gasp for air and my eyes open to warmth, yellow and red gas, crackling, night sky, the man sits on a log, spear in hand, amongst the children. "Morning sunshine." I look down at the kids, my heart sinks. I try to keep my eyes open, but they shut- Sofiel screams amongst those demons. The hammers swings down and I scream. The children scream awake, "Damn it! You woke em' up!" I sob uncontrollably. I left her! Why?! Why didn't I go back? The man covers my mouth, "Shut up. We're not safe here." My eyes pan to eyes reflecting by the fire's light, they circle us. "Just go back to sleep." He lays me back down slow. "Just gain your strength." My eyes close, little by little.
I'm back in my Oracle Office, amongst superior oracles. They stare ahead and tremble. I pull on my supervisor, "They're gonna break through! The last line is-" He mumbles, "May the demons have mercy on our souls." "Sir! They're gonna kill the children!" He goes limp and laughs lightly, "We're all dead." I look around the room, they all stare, tears flowing, hugging family. "We gotta run! Sir, please!" He just stares ahead with dulled eyes, he mumbles, "Do what you want, kid." I charge at the door and it slams out my way. I run towards the children. When I get to the nursery, most of them are gone. I run to a crib and the name reads, Sofiel. She fades away and I grab for her. "No! I'm not leaving you! Please! Don't leave me!" A baby coos behind me, I turn and the children remaining smile wide. I go to grab them immediately.

My eyes open, sunlight shining through dense leaves. I'm being dragged with Thadius on my chest, he looks into my eyes. The man grunts, "Can you walk?" "I think." He stops and lowers the makeshift sled "He speaks!" I move the children off my chest and get up. My hands peel away the leaves on my stomach. I wince, the sticky blood tries not let go, but I keep peeling, revealing the cut. My stomach grumbles as my fingers poke around inside the cut. Not as deep, no poison. "You good?" I sigh, "For now- Got any food?" He shakes his head, "That bipedal lizard was poisonous. We found out the hard way."
He stretches, "Can you watch them? I'll get us some food." I dart around, then I cry- Sofiel is actually gone. Am I fit to raise them? I lost one, hours into my care. This angel would be better suited. "I'll get us the food we need." He shakes his head, "You're in no state-" I point at Thadius, "Exactly why you need to protect them." He looks down at the children, then at me, he rolls his eyes and takes his knife out. He holds it by the blade, "Fine, be careful." I take the knife and stare into it's reflection, bruised face, bent nose, dirt, blood and grime. I turn and set out. I look back and they're all watching. I clench my teeth and walk away.

(Re)Install
After his death, Garry, AKA Gaz, is summoned by a nameless goddess to another world and tasked with a very important mission, the main characters sets out to travel around in search of a way to accomplish his objectives and live happily ever after.The catch? The mission is to save the same goddess, who've been sealed away for all eternity in who knows where. Having little to no energy left, she was unable to create a decent blessing, so Gaz is left with a weak body in a savage world that he knows nothing about.Also, did i mention he wasn't reincarnated as a human? Neither as a beast? Well...His actual body might actually not be that bad. As long as he survives the first day, of course.-------------Okay, some of you might know from Insania Online, some don't, so might as well explain it here. This is a Re: (ish) style story, with a Scifi (ish) setting and some fantasy (ish) assets (precision is overrated). This is kind of a side project I will work while I take a break from insania.This is a crazy idea i had thanks to a certain game's trailer, and decided to write it. Even if it starts fairly serious, it will probably have a lot of wacky comedy, so don't say you haven't been warned and don't try to take it too seriously. Really. If you are expecting a dramatic and heavy story, this is very probably not what you want(who knows? I'm just starting it...).

Dick and Dami Week 2022
So... I fell headfirst into DC and got attached to the Batfam. Especially Dick and Damian. When I found out there was a Dick and Dami week I just had to give it a go. And here we are!The event runs from May 8th to 11th so that means there'll be a new chapter each day for this week. Summaries are at the start of the chapter along with the prompts for the day and the one(s) I used. Each part is meant to be read as a standalone piece and won't be connected.Also, this is my first work in the DC fandom so don't be too harsh. Constructive criticism is always welcome!Cover art is not mine. It belongs to Toixx on tumblr.
