《The Celestial Swordsman》Chapter 2.5: The Knights That Enforce The Divine Index
Advertisement
The knights clad in white armor burst through. In total there were three of them and all of them came into the room of the meeting in rapid succession.
"You have broken the Divine Index's line C.51 - secretive, illegal gathering, and B.23 - plotting against the King of your current Empire." the knight closest to them spoke, their voice muffled by their helmet, "Surrender now or you will be executed right here!"
"What the—" Hoshi began saying, but was shortly cut off by Inei.
"The hell do you want punks?" the darkly dressed man yelled, "Your 'Divine Index' is bullshit!"
"Wait, Inei—" Homura yelled, but it was already too late. Inei jumped on the table and leaped to attack the closest knight. "I can take on all three of you weaklings! You'll pay for what you did!" Inei said as he charged a dark, magic ball to attack with.
"Defensive position!" the white knight in front, the seeming leader of the group, gave orders and pulled out their sword, along with the two behind them who did the same. The knights behind then started to chant some sort of spell and suddenly clones, ten in total, began to appear around them.
The knight in front grabbed Inei's hand before he could unleash his attack and hit the enraged young man to the side with the dull part of their blade. At the same time, the clones managed to grab most of the other guild members. These surely did seem stronger than the ordinary, video game clones. Either these clones were as strong as the original or the original was just five times stronger than each of them. Either way, it seemed that the knights had apprehended the rogue guild members and Inei was out cold.

"Criminal scum." the knight in front scuffed, "On the terms of you breaking the Divine Index, line A.09 - resisting enforcement of the Divine Index, you all shall be executed."
The knight stepped closer to Hoshi, who was being held down by a clone and was the closes one to them, the knight swung their sword in the air ready to crash it down on to Hoshi's neck. And that's exactly what happened. Except - the knight had swung their blade down to Hoshi, but upon almost touching Hoshi's skin, the blade was shattered by a bright blue light.
"What the?" the knight asked confused, "Wait..." The knight then pulled back the armor and shirt on Hoshi's back and there, under the neck of Hoshi was a symbol. The symbol was of a diamond-shaped star, surrounded by two circles and smaller star-like dots. This was...
"The symbol of the Celestials?" the knight gasped, "You're blessed by a Celestial."
"Y-yes..." Hoshi answered, nervous, "Now if you could just let me go and I could calmly explain what's going on."
The knight thought for a moment, then turned to one of the knights behind her, signaling to let Hoshi go as she said: "Commander Queya."
The clone let go of Hoshi and he stood up, gasping for air. Hoshi then proceeded to explain to the knights, about the raging villagers, drugs, the possible curse, and the King's and the Council's involvement in it.
"Oh my..." the knight in front said, taking off their helmet, revealing the face of a beautiful girl, "That's why we're here too."

A Castle in a Teacup
One might say that to anger forces beyond the ken of fragile breakable mortals is a bad idea, others might say that meddling in dark forces with little chance of gain is also a bad idea, they would both be right by on all counts but they forget to mention also how incredibly stupid combining both of those things are. Stupid people don’t last so long on the mystic side of things, normal folks who wander over to the other side have a tendency to do one of two things, either A. figure out that the best thing to do is keep their head down and not draw attention from any entity that refers to humanity as “you mortals” , or B. something horrifying happens to them. As you may have guessed I fell into the second category, mostly because I thought there was a third option. See I though there must be an option C, an option where I got to end up not as some shitty back ally wizard cowering at the chance of discovery, praying that one of my wards or spells wouldn’t be noticed by something that goes bump in the night. No I would be the one who rose above all that. I would never have to be afraid. Well I made a good attempt at it that’s for damn sure, but unfortunately for me it turns out there is not an option C. At least not for me…

The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.
