《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》BK 2 - Chapter 33: Find Her
Advertisement
Director Keisha looked toward Toss Up and said, “Is someone following her?”
“Yes, Deck Director, I’ve situated someone at every exit to the arena,” replied Toss Up.
“Good! I want to find out about that spear,” replied Keisha as she was getting up and preparing to leave the arena. Director Keisha paused in thought and said to Toss Up, “Put someone on Captain Gru as well. I want to know his reaction when he learns the dungeon has moved.”
“Yes, Deck Director, I’ll…”
Toss Up’s reply was interrupted by Little Luck, “Captain Toss Up! Deck Director Keisha! I just received a quest you should know about.” Little Luck was a small woman in the back of the Stone Guild party that attended the tournament.
Toss Up noticed Deck Director Keisha looked interested in what Little Luck was going to say, but for Little Luck’s sake, he hoped it was important. Toss Up liked Little Luck’s work ethic and didn’t want the Deck Director making an example of her for not knowing her place. He looked over at the small athletic woman and said, “What’s the quest Little Luck?”
Little Luck’s eyes lost their focus as she read the Quest.

Little Luck then said, “I think I received the quest because I’m about the same height as the…”
Deck Director Keisha interrupted Little Luck, “Of course that’s the reason. Accept the quest and see if you can find out anything.”
Little Luck selected “A” accepting the quest and took off. She knew it was unlikely that she would find out anything, but she didn’t say anything before immediately following the Director’s orders.
Director Keisha then said to Toss Up, “With this distraction, there is no way our people will be able to figure out which one is the spear woman. Get an Elf over here to track her before her scent gets to old.”
Toss Up’s eyes’ widened at the cost of an elf tracker, and he almost commented on it, but wisely kept his thoughts to himself, and replied, “Yes, Deck Director!” and moved off to the side, activating his sound wave to try an hire an elf tracker with such ridiculous short notice.

I Totally Don't Have Anger Problems!
Discontinued 7/11/2020 Sorry if anyone was hoping for more updates. It seems I'm losing interest in the character as time goes on - not sure if that's due to miscalculated character development direction or just a limited amount to express in the first place. If I do any writing projects in the future, I'll make sure the premise has a lot of room for long-term, interesting, development before posting anything. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback! I’m Talia Shimada, and my life just got a lot more complicated. One moment I was just doing some regular investigation of an interesting boy from my senior year in high school, and then suddenly, everything went wrong and I was stranded in another world in the middle of nowhere. It’s not my fault he left a clear line of sight to his house keys where they could be photographed and replicated on a 3D printer! Now I’m stuck in the middle of a giant forest with all these annoying creatures that keep attacking me until I SMASH THEM INTO PIECES AND STOMP ON THEIR REMAINS, surviving off of raw meat and, well, other kinds of raw meat. What, am I supposed to know which plants are edible in some far-away wilderness on another PLANET!? This is a planet right? It has to be! What did I do to deserve this? At least that class I got is useful. Now, when something doesn’t do what it’s supposed to, I can keep smashing it until it CAN’T BE A PROBLEM ANY MORE BECAUSE IT’S NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL! If anyone else tries to get in the way of my plans, I’ll just PICK UP THEIR PUNY BODIES AND THROW THEM ASIDE and watch them sail away, never to trouble me again, because I am DONE having people mess with my life and not being able to do anything about it! From now on, anyone who tries will get to briefly realize their error as I SMASH THEM INTO PASTE BECAUSE THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH THE WRONG WOMAN! I totally don’t have anger problems! Updates Sundays and Wednesdays, occassionaly Fridays

A Tale of the Golden Crown
Life is unpredictable. If you turn left, you could meet the love of your life. Turn right, and be a millionaire. And if you think you are clever, go straight, only to be killed by brick-kun and reincarnate as an Heir to a Duchy. Which is fine as long you ignore plots, rivalries and struggles for power, but even if the tales of the Golden Crown are so many as stars in the sky, they all weigh the same in the end. Follow with me the story of Leonidas, as he tries to find his way in a Kingdom at the verge of a civil war and to find out, what the rules of his rule should be, so that his own crown would not crush him to death. And of course, conquest and plots! And action! I hope… Hi! The story is a little bit inspired by CK2 and Stronghold and serves two purposes: to better my writing skills and to have fun! So, I welcome grammatical criticism and pointing out plot holes, as I would want the story to make sense for my readers too! Have fun! 31.05.2022. Currently in Hiatus, as I hit a wall in writing conversations. So I will try something else and come back later to this story.
