《Those Feared By The Gods》Chapter 1: Prologue
Advertisement
Hammering of anvils resounds in our mountain home~
Size of a hobbit, strength of a manticore~
Deep in the darkness, striking until we break our bones~
We fight, feast and drink our Mead, oh bless the mountain king!~
--------
Walking in a mountain range, a group of small postured humanoids are on a mission to scout.
“Hey, Kandar, how is the wife?” Asks one of them to the other.
“She's the same old grumpy woman I married 11 years ago” replies the humanoid called Kandar.
Whahahahahahahaha!
Loud laughter comes from the group.
“Boss, when are you going to marry? If you wait too long, you'll be too old for anyone to want you.” Asks Kandar
“You know I hate being called Boss. Just call me Batner like everyone else. And I just haven't found the girl of my dreams yet.” Replies the “Boss” Batner
The cheerful squad continues talking and laughing while continuing their mission
-------
“Wheeeeh~” “wheeeeh~”
Somewhere deep in the mountain range, the crying of a child is heard.
“Wheeeeh~” “wheeeeh~”
“Shhhh, quiet! I hear something!” Whispers Batner while holding his hand up
The loud squad instantly quiets down, as if they were professionals
-Absolute Silence-
For a moment, nothing but the wind and some small animals are heard. Even the breathing of the squad is completely masked. But a moment later…
“Wraaaaaaaahgh!”
A loud cry of a beast is heard!
“Split up, Dahtom formation[1]” whispers Batner
The squad nods, silently yet swiftly splitting into 3 groups
The squad looks at Batner, and when he gives a nod, all rush forwards.
Two groups each swiftly sneak over the left and right flank, while the third rushes not quietly at all straight to the objective.
After a small while, they arrive at a clearing of the mountain forest, where a beast is circling something
“Mhph, a Gradfir[2], just as I thought” says Batner
“Chargeeeeeeeeee!” The warcry of the fierce mountain warriors resounds!
[1]a formation where two “arms” “dig” into the enemy from the sides while the “blind head” rushes in
[2]A bestiary is being made while the story goes on. I will post a link with the bestiary once more beasts become known in the story

Through Mist, Veil, and Summer
Anna Lawrence is a quiet girl who'd rather sit and write poetry than bustle about with her peers. After an incident resulting in a panic attack and a trip to the hospital, Anna's foster mother sends her to stay with her aunt and uncle for the summer. Upon arriving in the small mountain town of Glenwood, Anna finds herself caught in the machinations of another world on the other side of the fog: warring witches, animal-headed skypirates, and the boldest, bravest, most interesting girl Anna has ever met. THROUGH MIST, VEIL, AND SUMMER is my homage to Studio Ghibli films. It's a fantasy romance with a dash of adventure and a sprinkling of self-contemplation. It's a story that moves a little slower, a little quieter. It is my fourth novel, written between October 1, 2017 and January 6, 2019.

Deviant's Masquerade: Get Ink'd (A Toon Villain Quest/RPG)
Joshua Durand has always lived in someone else’s shadow, a side character in someone else’s show.His brother was the real hero of the tale, or he was until his ‘friends’ stabbed him in the back.Now though, he’s got a chance to step into the spotlight, as long as he’s willing to make a deal with the devil.He doesn’t know if this is the right decision or the wrong one, but what he does know is “It’s showtime!” --- This is forum quest story taking place in the same city/setting as my other stories: The Huntsman's Quest and Hacking Reality stories meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
