《Sway(Wattys 2015)》A quick run
Advertisement
"I found one" Ana called out causing both Ivan and I to pull away.
As usual Ivan has a huge smile on his face.I was left a little confused and flustered for a little while.
"Rogue?" Ivan asks
I look back at him,he had a concerned look on his face.
"Are you alright , you look flustered" he says wit an amused look on he is face.
"Err,yeah I'm fine let's just finish the cake" I quickly change the subject.
Every time I looked at Ivan ,I would quickly look away to embarrassed to keep a gaze and to make matters worse he would be looking at me with a smirk on his face.
When we finished the cake, I helped Ana wrap it up so she could take it back.Ana and Ivan were about to leave when Ivan came up to me.
"Go on Ana , I'll catch you up" Ivan says.
"I'll see you later Rogue" he leans into me with his lips puckered and his eyes squeezed shut.He was blatantly trying to make a joke about it, as he was making kissing sounds.
"What the hell was that ,Ana was standing right there"
"So"
I shake my head and push past him.
The next day I was up early, I did all the chores that I was supposed to do,i cleaned my room and spoke with Tasha about our secret trip.
It was nearing 8pm and it was almost dark ,i hadn't done very much exercise whilst I've been here so I decided to go for a run around the private gardens.
I had a shower and put on my navy blue converse track suit ,with my navy blue Roshe runs.I platt my hair and put in my ear phones.
"Where are you going?" Tasha asks as I head towards the door to leave.

"For a run, you wanna come?" I ask knowing for well she wouldn't accept my offer.
"You know what I'm actually busy right now ,maybe next year or century" she replies
"You have super speed"
"So ,that doesn't mean I'm supposed to use it" she responds whilst eating her breakfast.
"Alright then I'll see you later"
When I get outside it was quite chilly but I know as soon as I start running I'll warm up. It was fairly light outside but it wouldn't be long before darkness took over.I stretch out my legs and arms, I press play on my iPod and start running.
I had drifted away from the gardens and I was running near the Forrest,as scary as I was ,I wasn't that bothered by it i was to busy running.
I was getting tired so I stopped for a little while ,I took out my earphones and put my hands behind my head to control my breathing.
I heard a faint scream coming from the Forrest.It wasn't very loud so whoever it was must of been deeper in. I heard it again but this time I was sure they were screaming for help.
Out of instinct i assumed someone was in danger so without thinking I ran into the dark forest.
The screams were getting louder and more frequent,i couldn't see anything so i had to rely on my hearing to find them.The adrenaline was pumping through my body, i was scared, scared of what I was going to find,scared id be next , scared of getting lost.
I came to a holt when I saw a dark figure dragging a smaller figure.This being vampire territory ,it must be one of the vampires ,that's the only possibility.
The screams were loud, since I was so close I had established it was a female ,I don't know how old or what she looked like but I know she was scared.

She was fighting back,kicking and punching her attacker.
The dark figure grabbed a hold of the victims hair,and sinked their fangs into her. The atmosphere was filled with agonising screams. I couldn't just sit here, I grabbed the biggest stick I could find. The screams were dying down ,meaning she was almost dead.They were going to drink her dry ,without thinking of a plan I charged towards the figure and attacked them with the stick.
As I expected the stick shattered into a thousand pieces.The figure turned towards me ,it was still to dark to see their face.
The girl managed to wriggle free and run away.The figure watched as their injured prey scurried away,their gaze came back to me. It stepped forward and leaned in close.
"You're next" it growled before walking off in human speed ,in the same direction as the girl went.I wanted to help her and I tried but i didn't want to die.Instead of staying I took off in the direction I came, running full speed.
I Tripped over something and tumbled over.I lead there for a second to try and compose myself.I got to my feet and everything looked different.
It was like I was dreaming ,like I had seen it all before, there was most covering the floor.I must of hit my head when I fell over,I'm probably imaging it.
And there it was.......

Midara: Requiem
"When the alternative is extinction, all acts, no matter how heinous, are permitted." The story of a little necromancer who only wants to play with abominations against all that is holy dollies and her horsey, Mister Clackybones. Welcome to the novelization of one script I designed for a video game setting I call Midara (I selected the name of a genus of moths for symbolism purposes, not to be confused with anything else). Once upon a time, I dreamed of the setting being the next Final Fantasy. Long story short: Nope. Requiem itself is meant to be an Open-World RPG which adapts to the choices of the player. This is just one of many, many paths that one might follow in Requiem's gameplay, if it ever becomes a game.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
