《Reaper》Chapter 2 Part 2: New Morning
Advertisement
At the left side of the main hall, Selena passed a hallway with 3 portraits hanging on the wall. The end of the hallway looks like a dead end, but at the side Selena pushed the wall and a secret door slid open. A dark and narrow staircase appeared and Selena went down. After a few steps of the dark stairway, Selena raised her legs and kicked something in front of her. It was a door. It opened so suddenly that a girl squeal in shock.
The girl with gentle face and eyes, and have a wavy brown hair. Her bangs hide half of her face and she dresses in a black robe. Her name is Azul Drach Aguilles. A Half vampire and a witch, she is a high tier magician who uses dark magic but also have an affinity for nature magic. Her personality is as gentle as her face, she loves dark places and is one of the great generals of the demon lord. She is also a former healer, because of her nature magic when people back then don't know her identity.
"Aguilles..." Selena's face can't be seen through darkness because there is no single light in the room.
"Eek! S-Selena!" Aguilles turned the lights in panic by flicking her fingers. The lights that illuminate the room are torches flying near the wall, and are a few feets apart from each other.
"I told you to always open the light didn't I?" Selena shows an annoyed face while trying to tell her to always open the lights.
Aguilles hunched back, Selena saw that and sighed. Due to Aguilles' past she can't just trust anyone not even the demon lord.
Selena, the former demon lord, and his wife are the only ones she trusts.
She knows how loyal Selena is and how she protects her friends.

Selena put Grim's body at one of the beds that are near the walls and went beside Aguilles. She patted Aguilles' back.
"Come on Aguilles, I'm not mad, just annoyed. Don't slouch be confident!" She smiled at her while encouraging her.
Aguilles was so happy but also made a worried face.
Selena asked her what's the problem after seeing her making that face.
"Y-you're hands... my head... blood..." Aguilles shyly said.
Selena forgot that he held Grim's body and his guts. Though his body was found at the beach making his body wet from the ocean. The body is still fresh and is still secreting little blood.
"O-oh, you're right sorry my bad." Selena laughs while putting her hand away.
Aguilles turned her eyes to Grim's body and asked:
"What happened. Do you know him?"
Selena shook his head as saying no to Aguilles' question.
"I just found him at the beach near the Whiteshore border with that weird necklace. Also, Gabriel said to stitch him up." Selena said.
"Oh, okay." Aguilles answered. She went to her table at the back corner of the room and grabbed some supplies at the drawer. She also grabbed a chair and sit beside Grim's bed.
Selena gave a puzzled look at Aguilles. "Won't you just use magic to stitch this guy?"
Aguilles smiled while looking at Grim's face and pulled the thread and needle and started stitching while answering Selena's question.
"I felt like I shouldn't. It feels like I know him."
A few moments later Aguilles is almost at the end of stitching when someone yelled and kicked the door.
"Heya! Aguilles! You saw my honey?! Gabe said she came back. Huh? There are lights. That's weir- Ah! My honey!"
A guy with white hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a leather sleeveless clothes, his nails where unclipped, and one of his fangs were showing also one of his ears are also pierced.

"How many times should I tell you that I'm not your honey? Grey." Selena said while making a poker face at the guy who entered.
Grey is a member of Selena's pack he wasn't part of Selena's expedition before due to some injury.
"Hi, Grey! Are your injuries alright now?" Aguilles asked.
Grey gave her a wide smile and nodded he also saw Grim's body at the bed.
"What's that? Tonight's Dinner?" He asked.
Aguilles panicked at what she heard and covered Grim's body like she was protecting Grim while Selena smacked the back of his head.
"You don't have any dinner today you idiot. I told you to rest, look you're spilling at your side. Still doing training even though I told you to lay down!" Selena pointed out the side of Grey's waist spilling blood.
"Also, we still don't know anything about this body it looks like it's half alive." She continued.
"He is alive though, but also dead." Aguilles said, making the other two do a confused face.
"I can feel his soul still clinging to the body. It's a complete and successful resurrection." Aguilles continued while making a mixed sad and relieved face.
"Resurrection?! Are you sure?!" Selena shockingly asked Aguilles and looked at Grim's pale face.
"Then why is he dead? Shouldn't he be alive?" Selena asked again.
"He is alive and also dead. The body is dead, but the soul is still there allowing him to continue walking in this world while having his own will. One thing I want to know is how and who did it. I have been studying dark magic for ages but..." Aguilles stopped.
Selena saw her making a lonely face and hugged her without saying anything.
Grey did not interrupt them. He also knows how hurt Aguilles is right now. He might be an annoying guy but he is considerate and is a good guy.
The three of them stayed like that for a few seconds and left the room.

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.

People. Harmony. Dysfunction
[Hiatus]People are extraordinary. They are glorious, chaotic, imaginative, grim, all kinds of smart and driven. They are capable of living in harmony or incredible destruction. They can be both caring and loyal but vicious and self-centred. However, Olivia wished that the first year of her PhD didn't have to showcase quite so much of the melting pot. People. Harmony. Dysfunction. is a story that follows a research group through the drama and challenges life throws at them. It has an (unspecified) modern setting and focuses on the characters. I've tried to rate this pre-emptively, but unfortunately it might change as the story evolves.
