《MOLTEN》ch 11: Alleyway II
Advertisement
Everyone was surprised as Seth stopped charging up his powerful sigil, turned around and started talking to thin air.
But they were extremely glad, as they escaped with their lives... Gale who had just arrived at the scene quickly looked around the place, as if she was scanning the situation in an instant and sighed heavily... Gale: you just had to antagonize him, even after i told you to wait for me. While still on his knees, Killian answered in a pathetic voice... Killian: I thought you wanted to get all the credit for finding the descendant... I wanted to do my part as well. Gale: Idiot, i actually know him you could have spared yourself a lot of pain. Seth who was talking to Carla was still distraught from when she mentioned Gale... Carle: look its her behind you! It must be her! Seth: impossible (he said before turning around towards Gale) With Seth turning around Killian instantly lowered his head to the point of bashing it on the ground then started shacking ... Killian: please forgive me for my transgressions oh great descendant (he kept mumbling to himself) Gale: Hey Seth, its been years. Seth: It really is you, truly? Gale: Yeah well, we've all been through a lot...After the orphanage and all. Especially you. Seth then completely stopped moving and started looking at the ground for a while. He looked like he was reminiscing about better times, but instead of feeling happy he felt so much melancholy you could only describe it as having a hole in your heart... Carla: Seth, you... Before long Seth regained his composure and faced gale. "So what are you doing here" he asked her with a serious tone and he seemed to be completely fine, but deep inside he was forcing himself to look composed. Gale: well i was looking for you for a while now. Do u know how hard it was to actually track you down... I had to steal some classified documents from the capital to actually learn that you were still alive. But I've got to say i was very surprised to learn that you worked for the Shrine priestesses family as an agent... Seth: You didn't answer my question (He interrupted her suddenly) Gale:... Well i was getting to that, rude. To be honest we need your help; i am part of an organisation that has been hunted down for generations now and we need your strength to fightback. Seth: and what is this organisation? Gale: I... Can't tell you yet, but please we need you. Seth: I'm sorry but I'm very busy at the moment try some one else. Gale: Don't you want to find out what happened to the orphanage and the village? Why it was attacked and burned down? Seth: Why would you bring that up to me, you weren't even there when it happened! You left everyone with your father! Gale: I... I can't tell you why yet. But i promise if you come with me i will tell you everything... Seth: I... Carla who was listening in got closer to Seth as if to hug him. " Why don't you go with her and hear her out" she said near his ear with a tender and sad voice. Seth then turned towards Carla and seemed as if he wanted to say something then stopped himself, as he remembered what he promised Carla before... Gale:? Seth:I... (And before he finished what he wanted to say he faced Gale again) Seth: I'll go with you. Gales' face that was all serious a minute ago suddenly lit up... Gale: Oh thank you so much! I knew you would reconsider. Seth: You better keep your promise. All the people that attacked Seth and were kneeling for forgiveness were relieved as he seemed to be appeased for now. One after the other they started to get up. When Killian tried to do the same as well, Seth walked towards him and stopped right in front of him... Seth: I don't like this guy though. Carla: Yeah me neither. Killian started sweating buckets as he thought this was the end of the road for him... Gale: I apologize for my carelessness in handling my subordinates, i swear I'll make it right by you. Seth: alright I'll leave him to you. He then walked past the inspector and went into an alleyway where he was followed by some of Gales' subordinates for safety... Killian sighed a sigh of relief then got up and swiped the dust of his clothes then put back his skull necklace into his pocket. Afterwards he stood straight up and started looking at Gale with the same dignified and entitled look he had before meeting Seth... Killian: Gale thank you so much for your help without you we would have been wiped out. Gale: Yes, without me you would have caused the death of all our brother and sister believers under your care. Killian: Wait, wha... Gale: By my authority granted by the master grand bishop i strip you of your title and your command over the warrior believers in this area, brothers take him away. Killian: Wait! You can't do this, i am a bishop! The master will hear of this! My family will hear of this!!! (He said while being dragged away by two armed men) Gale: Now i can rest easier knowing i found an excuse to get rid of that Auschwitz, he was truly like a thorn at my side... Gale: All of you! (She shouted so that everyone there could hear her) You are all dismissed, go back to the home base, and grab the remains of your comrades while you leave. Right after she gave that command every man and woman grabbed the bodies and weapons of their fallen bretheren. And cleaned up the place to hide the evidence of a battle occuring there as much as possible... After they were done, everyone left from different routes. Gale: Well then, its time to leave this place...( She then turned around and followed where Seth went) ---Chapter End---

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
