《Worlds Divided Flara’s Journey》Chapter 11 The Power Within..Final Battle
Advertisement
Flara opened her eyes to be met with inky blackness. Or so it seemed until her eyes adjusted to see a circular cave-like chamber. It was a lot bigger than the first one. Two grey pillars was holding up a very intricate archway. Underneath the archway was the last slate, pulsing a black and red hue. Flara was cautious as she stepped, then tripped forward. She looked down and saw the ambassador’s body . She knelt down and looked him over. ‘Did I bring him over? ‘ She thought looking at his features. They were older, but for some strange reason he wasn’t decaying like a dead body should . She pulled his body and leaned him against the wall. She approach the last slate and examined it . Claw marks sliced through the stone making the rules illegible except for a few words , one was the word ‘family’ it was scratched out and the word ‘suffering’ was in its place, and Benevolent was crossed out and Sinister was carved instead.
The room was quiet, except for the deep humming coming from the stone. Flara glanced around to make sure there was no threat. She took out the chisel and the hammer and started to chisel the slate clear. She felt a slight breeze come into the room and felt a presence behind her , before she could react, she was thrown across the room hitting the stone wall. Her body ached from the trauma, and fear started to set in. She look up, and Sinister had her engulfed . She screamed out in pain, feeling his negativity pierce through her like a dagger. But this time she felt him, felt his pain, his suffering. She closed her eyes and saw two souls. One was Benevolent and the other, the ambassadors’ . She opened her eyes and her energy burst out, pushing Sinister back. She struggled as she got up and stood staring him down. “Benevolent!” she shouted. “I know you’re in there! You can’t let him take control of you!” She noticed Sinister paused. Then suddenly he was full force pushing her against the wall. His deep growling voice boom through out the chamber. “Benevolent, is not here anymore! His ways were worthless. He was suppose to be a God. He was supposed to be compassionate, but he didn’t care about his citizens, only about balance.” Flara felt the betrayal and hate coming from his energy . She did all she could to contain it and not let it over power her.

His energy was still pushing through but instead of devouring her, she saw images of the ambassador begging Benevolent to save his daughter. Benevolent refusing and the ambassador walking away in desperation. She watched as the ambassador went to the first chamber and started to change the rules scratching them out and writing in ‘immortality.’ Each time he changed the rules the world weakened and Benevolent weakened, keeping him in a suspended state in his chamber . She saw the day his daughter gave birth and saw her mother and Tarot’s parents assisting . The baby was fine but his daughter was hemorrhaging. Sara looked at the ambassador with saddened eyes, and whispered. “ There is nothing we can do, but to make her comfortable.” The ambassador was outraged . He grabbed the compass, which Benevolent entrusted him with, and went to the ruins . He was transported to the chamber, where Benevolent light was weakened and was still hovering. The ambassador screamed at him and started scratching the the rules off the slate. The room shook and the red pulse from the ground turned black, as the ambassador kept clawing , a dark energy flowed from the the ground and pierced through him. He fell to the ground and the dark energy continue through the room and it merged with Benevolent. The dark energy flowed and swirled and Sinister was formed. Sinister went back to the ambassadors dwelling and hovered over the dying mother. She saw Sara and Tarot’s parents fighting Sinister, but he vanquished them by pulling out their life force. She saw the world changing the citizen turning against each other and killing those that did not belong in this new corrupt world.
Flara felt her energy fading and she fell to to the ground . Her heart ached seeing what the ambassador has done to this world and seeing her mother and Tarot parents becoming victims of his chaos. She was weak , and broken. She closed her eyes and heard Novas voice. ‘ This energy and power is within you. You are now the balance of both worlds.’ Sinister was hovering over her, wrapping his tentacles around her. He lifted her up , her body felt like it was being crushed. She squirmed and kicked and she stared into his crimson eyes . She couldn’t give up, she had to fight for the balance of these worlds . She didn’t want to see the devastation of Love and Nurture, she wanted to create balance . She stared him down and noticed a glimmer of blue light flickered in his eyes. She knew Benevolent was still in there she had to split their souls. She closed her eyes and push out her energy . Her energy slammed Sinister against the pillar, but before Flara could push more energy to hit him again, he slammed her on the ground, feeling her bones breaking, she was desperately gasping for air. Sinister pushed her hard against the wall hitting her head, blood dripping over her eyes. With remaining strength she had, she stood up thinking of Tarot and Adia, the suffering they had endured . Her mother’s and father’s sacrifices. Her defeat turned to determination.

She felt the power in her manifest, her eyes turned white and a burst of energy protruded out of her chest . The white beam of light punctured Sinister’s chest , splitting him apart . He howled in agony as the darkness was over taken by a white light, driving the dark energy towards the ground in to a heap of smoldering ash. The whole chamber thumped like a heart beat . Flara was still levitating as her energy flowed through the room. It lifted the ambassadors in the air. Her energy absorbed through his body . His eyes snapped opened as the white energy exited out of his eye sockets. The ambassador floated suspended in the air. Flara felt the power and truth inside her. Her body was transformed and her physical body was replaced by a spiritual one. She glided in the air towards the last slate. Swirls of her spiritual body touch the stone and it quivered and shook. She didn’t need the chisel anymore. She knew the rules the truth and by emanating her energy, the stone face of the slate fell away leaving it clear. Flara’s energy carved the rules into the stone, each word leaving a blue glow. Sinister’s smoldering remains exploded in to blue light forming a majestic wolf, his roar shook the whole chamber and the heart of the world beat again. Flara eyes widen in astonishment, Benevolent was reborn. She felt the energy leave her and she fell to the ground , followed by the ambassador. Benevolent blue spiritual body glowed and shined throughout the chamber.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
