《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 49: Waking from a Nightmare
Advertisement
Caliber would make his way around the halls of the castle, waking up from the knockout from the fight that he had with the White Reaper. Running alongside him was the Queen, still wearing her nightgown as she was trying to sleep through the night until all the commotion.
"And you're sure you saw the blue flames coming from this direction?" She would say with a panicked tone.
Often feeling the slight sting of small rocks poking at the bottom of her exposed feet. But just up ahead, she could see the faint sight of two people laying there. Her mother instincts alerted her that one of them was her own daughter.
She would push Caliber to get some distance between them as she frantically moves her arms at the side of her body as she goes at full speed to reach the two up ahead of her. Once she sees her own daughter down on the floor, she would crouch and holds her in her arms. Leaving the king to the captain.
"Yasuline! My daughter, are you hurt!?" She cried out, tears starting to flow down her cheeks as her emotions overhyped.
As she hugs her, a radiant and warm light envelopes the two of them, most of it was around Queen Noria, but it would flow down onto Yausline and then disperses.
All the crying and noises she was making was finally getting the king to awaken from his slumber.
"Gasp! your majesty! You're safe." Caliber would shout.
The king would blink as his mind recollects itself for him to even comprehend what situation he was on, let alone what was the last thing he remembered to be doing.
"Oooh, my head. My body, oh how it aches." King Suko would complain as he starts sitting on up. He looks around his surroundings and is astounded by the amount of damage that has been done to his home.

"What the hell happened to the throne room!?" He cried out.
"T-that, I am not sure. I'll have to investigate before I can completely tell you."
King Suko would turn to face Caliber, but then heard the weeping from Noria and turns to find her cradling Yausline.
"Yasu." He says softly as he crawls on over and hugs them both.
"So glad to see you two safe."
"She seems well too, just...tired it seems."
"Heh, you already used your healing skills on her?"
"First moment I saw her." She answered him, keeping her eyes on her daughter's sleeping face.
Feeling the calmness get to him, King Suko would feel more relaxed and then starts to look around them. That was when he spotted the runeblade laying beside her.
"Huh? What's the Runeblade Prototype doing here?"
Picking it up, he would see the runes on it glowing while and slowly fade away.
As they all slowly relax, more of the castle workers, both the maids and the guards would approach them all.
"Ugh, your majesty? What happened? I can't remember anything. It all feels so fuzzy." One of the maids would say, holding her hand against her forehead as she feels a migraine annoying her greatly. And she wasn't the only one as others all either groaned or replicated her.
"Hmm, that I am not sure." The King would state. Standing on up as he continues to investigate around him. That was when Caliber would look at the sword he was holding and the memory of his battle with the White Reaper returned.
"Ah! I remember now!"
"Oh do you?"
"Yes, I do. But before that, we should work on reconstructing. And also call in the nobles, we must call forth the roundtable."

"The roundtable, you say?" The king looked a bit puzzled at Caliber but then would nod. "Yes, I suppose with destruction this bad on the castle and our memories all hazy, it would do well to get the kingdom under control."
With a firm nod, he would crouch down to pick up Yasuline into his arms.
"Now then, Hunny, we should take Yasuline to bed, and you can join her to ensure she is okay." He would start to give orders around, attempting to get everything back to normal as fast as possible.
He then would turn to face Caliber whom had the guards right behind him, ready to work. "AS for you and your men, we need to scan the area, find anyone who would be hurt, and bring them to the royal quarters so we can treat them. After that, we need to start cleaning up."
Caliber would nod obediently as he then turns and gestures all the guards to start moving in a formation.
"Can't exactly have a roundtable if the room it was in is all busted up. Might need to relocate that." He says with a hefty but hearty sigh. Not at all minding the damages around him as he is ensured that his family and those around him were unharmed for now. As he looks around, he would see that the throne was still standing in its spot as it should be.
"Heh, still there after all the raised hell that happened here, if only it could talk."
Feeling drained, he would start to leave the room but takes one final look around before he heads into the hall with Queen Noria. The scorch marks on the walls and floor, the strange objects that were stabbed onto the walls. And the strange impression on the center of the room that looked like it was caused by something heavy.
"Something crazy happened here, and here I am having missed it all, or even forgotten about it."
"Well, I am hoping that none of it has occurred with my precious girl. Now I can see why you had such paranoia about her getting hurt with some shenanigans." She would rebut as she keeps a hand onto her hair, gently stroking her as they head to bed.

Elrich Saga Yellow Springs Book One
A young college student gets killed and accidentally saves the world. As thanks, a group of gods decide to give him a second life. They send him to Elrich, a world with monsters, demons, and where adventures await. However, his goddess liaison is a bit of an airhead and messed up his reincarnation. What sort of place awaits him in this world full of danger and uncertainty?This world is harsh, not at all the fantasy fluff and harems he'd imagined. Will he be able to keep his sanity with death around every corner? This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.
