《The Scratchers Among Us》Chapter 14 - The Accusation
Advertisement
“How could this happen he? was with us the whole time!” Alyelle said sadly. “He did go to do wires in electrical, maybe it was then that… one of our ‘friends’ killed him.” Skelly said. He made sure that he did the air quotes to emphasise that one of them had betrayed the crew. “Ughh why are we here Pato wasn’t even that important!” Kaj said very rudely. “First of all his name is Potato, and second of all he was our friend and a great brother to Lilly!” Alyelle said, very angrily. “Okay Kaj, that wasn't nice but we're running out of time we need to find out who the imposter is.” Olivia said, trying to sound innocent. “Ok fine but whoever did this you're so dead to me!” said Skelly. Why is Kaj being so rude and why is Olivia trying to change the subject? Lilly thought. Of course she hadn’t expected any different response from Kaj but it was still strange… but the more pressing behavior? That was Olivia. She decided she’d dwell on that a little later after this meeting while she was finishing up her last tasks. “Well are we done here?” Kaj asked. “Yeah” Olivia replied blankly. Lilly suspected she had something… something dramatic on her mind, since Lilly didn’t have much info on her she didn’t know what Olivia’s thoughts were always on. Which would explain how she wouldn’t pay attention when they had “meetings.” Finally, when Kaj left, Skelly huddled up with the rest of the crewmates and told everyone he had an accusation to make. Lilly’s throat became dry and suddenly her face became hot as she quietly whispered “I hope it’s not me.” repeatedly and so much that her already dry throat, hurt and she stopped. “Well, I think it’s…” He started to whisper and Lilly was sure of what he’d say but there was still a small chance he wouldn't… right? “Lilly'' Everyone suddenly backed away from her with a look of horror on their faces. Alyelle cried, “Why would you do that to your own brother! To us?!” Lilly couldn’t think of an explanation so she just blurted out “It’s not me! Don’t believe him!”

Technically Sentient
Technically Sentient is the uncomfortable answer to the Fermi Paradox: bureaucratic inertia. There's also a shark cop in there too. And a human meat tank and a bunch of greys down on their luck and a viral bioengineered killing machine and a T-posing AI and a cat. But they're not important, in the grand scheme of things.

Zeroth Knight re: Dawn
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Updated twice a day. Evangeline Sayagawa makes the ultimate choice at the cost of the ultimate sacrifice: She decides to leave her world that she fought so hard to return to, and return to Arsea in hopes of saving everyone. Little was she aware of just how bad things had gotten. The world she was returning to was cast into chaos and on the precipice of being destroyed. She awakens in this new kind of Arsea, after having witness the end of a dear friend. The world now belonged to the monstrosities of old, the Beta, and their corrupted human warriors, the Eld. With her fake identity, that which defined her in this world, being stripped from her, she now has to navigate a darkness in which not even the women she loves recognize her. This is book 2 of the Evangeline Sayagawa "Zeroth Knight" story, with book 1 being found here. The first "chapter" posted here is a hyper-condensed version of volume/book 1, in case anyone needs a generalized refresher of events, or for those who wish to start with this book instead as it is faster paced and more action-packed than the first one. Suffice to say, but most of the details from book 1 are lost by doing this; however, enough of the more-important information is present to allow one to understand the general idea of what is going on. This book features a mostly lesbian cast and deals more so with fate and crises of identity more than anything else. However, there is much more action in this one than any of my other stories thus far and brings about the end of Evangeline Sayagawa's story arch... sort of. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: "Escape The KNIGHT" Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR Follow me on Twitter @Ozefen0 to stay up to date on my stories and what have you.

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.
