《Dreams of the Aasimar Cleric》Some goblins have a night visitor
Advertisement
As darkness falls on the camp you once again rest your head and fall asleep: You see the ruin of a home with fields surrounding it, a shallow breeze blows and and you can see some light coming from inside a small flickering light. As you look around you see the moon fully overhead not a cloud in the sky.
A dark robed figure approaches the structure. As it enters the light of the campfire inside the house you can see the features of the humanoid figure. Pitch black skin, one green eye and one blue eye, a short black horn adorn each side of her head, small strings of golden jewelry on each arm with small charms hanging from each. Each hand having long fingernails that come to almost a talon point. Jet black hair falls back past her shoulders bound with golden rings behind its head. This creature looks in through the window of the ruined house. Inside several small green humanoids sleep, one of them sits in a chair in the corner with a spear leaning into his shoulder. The figure outside begins to wave its hands and mutter something almost silently. One of the green figures begins to stir in its sleep, shaking back and forth. Its eyes wincing shut and its arms push out in front of it as if trying to keep something at bay. The one in the seat begins to stir and wake.
The figure outside waves her towards the creature and it quickly falls back asleep, its limbs fall limply to its side.
The small creature arms still outstretched breathes erratically as if in a panic. It struggles and struggles, fighting against some unseen enemy. This continues for some time the creature's predicament devolves into panicked scraping on the floor of the ruin and gasping breathes. One hand now outstretched the other grabbing at its own neck. The creature's breathing stops and all the limbs begin to buck and shake and flail. Then the movement stops, the shaking, the breathing, all of it. The creature outside the building begins to wave her hands again and its mouth begins to move again. It reaches to its side for a small leather bag, it waves its hand over the bag and opens the flap of it. Inside you see the body of the small creature and and a white energy surrounding it, a spectral form of the creature appears to rise from corpse. It seems to look around, down at itself, it sees the figure staring in from the window and eyes of the spectral form go wide.

The figure outside opens the bag and the spectral form seems to be drawn toward it. It tries to turn and move away it is unable. A grin spreads across the horned creatures face as the spectral form is pulled and dragged and vanishes into the bag. It closes the bag and waves its hands over the bag once again and then puts it back at it's side. It turns and walks away into the darkness, the skin matching perfectly the darkness of the night. As the creature disappears into shadows you wake.

8 214The Network
"Rejoice earthlings! For you have been chosen, to be part of the grand scheme of things...The Network! " "You will fight. Live and die. Struggle and rise above. You will be given a taste of power, the weak will succumb; the strong will thrive, that is the way of life." Or that is at least what I remember hearing from that raspy prideful voice coming from the towering azure light in the sky.Through everything, I was taught by the Network, I learned that my new life is an unfair cold hellish place to be alive. Like earth from before. Just my forte.
8 67The Last Beyul
Everyone is on Beyul. Beyul 2.0 is the next major leap in full-body mixed reality suits. Beyul 2.0 is the virtual world which houses thousands of newly designed games. Beyul 2.0 is the latest, fastest, and most versatile networking replacement for the defunct Internet. Beyul 2.0 is a new Artificial Intelligence to aid everyone on the planet to work, to play, to learn, to communicate, to shop, to create, to collaborate, to live. After the Beyul 2.0 engineers die, players are promised prizes for solving the mystery at the heart of the new gaming world. Everyone who connects to Beyul 2.0 must surrender their perceptions of the external world, must sense only the virtual world … even as they move about the real world — a mode called: Zombie Mode. Usually, there are plenty of safeguards to prevent injury to the players. But, Beyul 2.0 has been compromised by religious fanatics who believe that Beyul is an extension of God’s Will. And they have hit squads to hunt down and kill everyone who connects to the new version of Beyul. Follow the first players to enter Beyul. Some are desperate to escape before time runs out; some seek to explore the depths of Beyul 2.0; some are hunters searching for other players; some are looking to solve the murders of the Beyul 2.0 engineers. Beyul 2.0 was programmed to lie. While there is a very detailed character system running behind the scenes, none of the characters have access to their stats or skill screens. This information will sometimes be provided to the reader in the author notes. Comments are welcomed.
