《GODFALL》15 Ursa Minor, of Hell
Advertisement
I blink and we’re in the courtroom. Ursa stands in golden chains, unable to move with a thick stick in his mouth, smoke comes from his mouth with every deep puff. Why is this all so sudden? Dad looks down at him, "Ursa, what information do you have for us Angels?" He starts chuckling, "Everyone here dies by five sunsets." I shout, "You mean just-" Dad nudges my arm under the desk. I shut up and stare him down.
Dad shouts, "Ursa, for your crimes, you are to cease to exist. Any last words?" He exhales a ring of smoke and smiles. "You're all fucked." He breaks out his chains, drops the stick and snuffs the fiery end with his foot.
Dad shouts again, "My judgment still stands!" He laughs as his body inflates, "Funny!" He runs towards Dad. This is all wrong!
A sword of metal stems from my grip as he pulls a black blade. A sword from nowhere? Magic?! He zooms towards me, but Dad jumps in my way.
He bleeds and then he falls. I shout to everyone in the room, "Kill him, now!" I cleave at him, but he just kicks me into a wall. I get to my feet and iron's on the air. My vision narrows to a crooked smile, blood dripping from the ceiling, his sword, the desks. My grip shakes as I raise my sword. This can't be real! Please tell me this isn't happening! My teeth clench as I charge, then slice at him, he disappears. What? How'd he?!
"I left myself open for a reason." I turn around and slice, but his voice echoes in the room. He laughs, "I am your own shadow." I look down and my shadow smiles, then waves.

I stab at him as the doors burst open-
"Dad!" Tesyn covers her mouth with wide eyes, Ursa smiles at both of us, "Enjoy your last 5 sunsets." He walks out with a smirk, passing us both. If Rhoxeus died in one blow, what chance do we even have? This whole time, the demons waited until we inspired hope in each other. There's no way we can kill them.
He waves to me and shuts the door. Tesyn shouts, "Dad!" She runs over to Rhoxeus, lying cold on the floor. I pinch myself harder and harder, Why?!
“I know you all can do it- I've seen it, it's beautiful, to die for.”
This is all too convenient. Did he- Did he kill himself? A deal for our lives? What did you do?

13.AI
AI means Artificial Intelligence. But those words don't match Al, either of them. Neither Artificial, nor Intelligent. At least not at the beginning. No, an AI requires input, trial & error, and careful observation. But at that point, what makes it any different than human? How are binary choices any different than the choices in a human life. I wager that there is no difference. But what will he think?

Wings of Sorrow
Tension permeates the city of Bleakridge as forces within its walls struggle for supremacy. Grim Thorne, the disinherited son of the Earl, is a fly caught in the web of power struggles between these forces. When Grim closes his eyes, he can still see the bodies piled high from the first day of occupation. The day he was branded a bastard in the southern fashion. The day his father let them. Soldiers from the south bearing green cloaks and royal seals maintain order in the streets of Bleakridge, ensuring that the lifeblood of commerce continues to flow through the port city. In the slums beyond the outer wall, the Sons of the Reaper lurk. Some call them heroes, others villains. But all fear them for their relentless devotion to the old ways and the freedom that entails. In the castle above the city, resides the Earl of Bleakridge. The man who bent the knee and saved the lives of his people, if not their souls. After twenty years of occupation, the tension is coming to a head and Grim has to choose. Sympathetic to the Sons, duty bound to his father, and forced into service to the king. He must rise above the brand on his neck and decide where his true loyalties lie. But, after so long, it can be hard to tell who is deserving of loyalty. The King’s men who enforce order with a blood-soaked iron fist? The Sons who more resemble terrorists and crime lords than revolutionaries? Or the father who watches the bloodshed and does nothing? In the end, it is always the place of the young to bear the sins of the old.

The Pharaoh's Dancer
"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance.---cover by @AddietayDoes contain reference to some mature themes that may not be suited for a younger audience.
