《Shadow Emperor》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Alice did not know what to think of this strange boy. As she looked at his sorrowful sleeping face she could not help but feel sympathy.
She had lost her father as well, and the pain on Damian’s face and him repeating names all over again – He had probably lost family as well.
Alice looked at her grandfather, “Grandpa, I know that we can not help every person we meet, but I really don’t want him to die here. Who knows if this monster is still hunting inside this forest?”
At this moment, a talisman in Kain’s pocket vibrated, it was a message from his boss.
‘Kain, come quickly, we need help, come fast..’
He rarely received emergency messages from his boss, so he knew something major had .
‘Damn it, we have to hurry up.. But I told my darling I would help him.. Well, he has to go by himself I’ll do what I can’
With that, he drew a map on the ground, marking where they were now and where his friend was. He also left a safe route and a flash grenade if something ever happened. This flash grenade was made of a rare mineral, and if it touched something with force it would explode and blind anybody for a couple precious seconds!
Alice witnessed the emergency call, and after seeing the map and the grenade she also packed her things and left with her grandfather. Although she did not protest she still left begrudgingly.
Damian slept for another 10 hours. After a good night’s sleep he felt refreshed, and only his arms felt a little bit tingly. The pain from the day before has nearly vanished.
He looked around himself, but his saviors were nowhere to be seen. Seeing the map on the ground and the grenade he realized they had left, but who was he to complain? They had left a route to a safe place and left him with an escape tool, it was more than he could wish for.

He stretched his body before picking up the grenade and starting his journey. With a grenade in his pockets he slowly started to walk into the thick forest…
Damian had walked for an hour before he decided to rest. Currently he was resting against a tree. The tree saved him from the sun’s hot rays and it felt very rejuvenating in the shade.
Thinking of the unusual power that was inside of him, he tried to call it back. He probed inside of him, but after several tries there was still nothing.
‘Maybe I have to have this feeling again, this feeling of helplessness, this feeling of hate?’
He thought of the Shixiong Sect, he thought of Sheng Shixiong and Heng Feng, he tried to replicate this feeling of hate with all his might… But there was still nothing.
What Damian did not notice was the slightly darker hue of his eyes as he had these intense feelings…
With that he continued his way to that mysterious friend of that friendly grandfather-daughter-pair. When he was at the location where her place should be, he saw nothing. It looked like a perfect location for a hut, but currently everything was empty.
Then, he felt someone looking at him. He turned around very fast, putting his hands in front of his face as if to block an enemy’s attack. Before him stood a very breathtaking woman in her 30’s. She had long curly blonde hair, her assets were nothing but astonishing.
Two round melons decorated her chest, and the curves on her body were there where they should be. Although Damian was currently 7 years old, he still had interest in girls. In his village it was not unusual to be married when you were 10 years old, and thinking that this woman before him looked very alluring he could not help but gulp.

Oh and her legs, those long legs… and her youthful but still mature face that sized him up as if he were food.. Wait food?
“Miss, my name is Damian and on my way I met Mr. Kain and Ms. Alice, they told me to come here. I did not want to disturb you or cause any trouble..”, Damian said as he made a step backwards. This woman was deadly!
She chuckled, “Ah so it was Kain, I miss his warmth… but it seems like he sent me someone special huh?” As she said that she pushed him down and actually licked his face. “Yess, I can smell it, your blood is very delicious. I don’t know why, it is something I have never smelled before..” With that, she took Damian by his collar, took him inside her hut and threw him unto her bed…

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Like they can't return to earth unless they complete it. Without any governments, the armies are left to fend for themselves with a large amount of bullets, tanks, planes, and ships. This story will have a large amount of characterization and slice of life moments. I did an insane amount of research for this and poured so much time in, not just militarily, but other basic necessity things as well. Fights will be bloody, magic will be rampant, and the slice of life moments will just warm you to the core. (actual kingdom building)
