《Solitude's Requiem》Blind Yet Sees
Advertisement
Before me stands this mistress Randyl talked about so sweetly. She is a slim woman. Wears a black blindfold and a green cloak. Her brown-reddish boots are made of some sort of leather that is probably from animals that I don't know.
"Please sit down. I guess you have questions." she says in a clear yet soft tone.
'She seems quite weak yet at the same time, she feels dangerous. Why do I feel that way?"
"Is something wrong sir?"
"No, I'm fine... I was just thinking."
"Are you okay great sir? you were a lot more confident before." Randly says in a concerned tone.
"Randyl." Leilaya says in a quiet tone yet clear to hear.
"Could this wanderer and I speak for a moment?"
"Of course mistress! Randyl will start making food for the mistress!!"
he yells before happily skipping to one of the other rooms.
"I'm quite lucky to have Randyl in this house. he is always so eager to help." she says while drinking some type of tea.
"You came here to ask me questions did you not?"
"Randyl told me you know of ways to get stronger."
"There are plenty of ways wanderer. only the methods differ."
"......"
"Do those things still bother you wanderer or do they not I wonder?"
'This is different from what Ashmodai did to me. the way she speaks. it's almost as if she already knows. This is creeping me out!
"you seem to be walking towards a destination wanderer yet you do not know where."
"i don't think many know what their future will hold miss."
"Perhaps.... How do you feel about Lucille's light wanderer?"
"I don't understand what your asking."
"you adapt yet it's impossible to ever call it home."

"......."
"living in a place you can't call home. What a sad existence that is."
My hands instinctively tighten as many memories and emotions start flooding back.
"The time passing by time slowly, the happy faces of what could have been, the anger at god yet unable to abandon him."
'Why is she talking about this? Why, Why? NO!!! Why did this happen to me!! What do I want? I.....I..... I don't know... Where am I going?'
"Do you remember the bonds you created? Do you think you can make them again or do you wish not to so that it doesn't hurt as much whe.."
"STOP!!!" I yell which causes the small house to shake.
Leilaya doesn't seem to be shaken by my outburst.
"I apologize it seems I have crossed a line. You seek strength wanderer yet you have no reason. Why do you wish to get stronger? You're already capable enough to survive. What is your goal?
'What do I want?' I look back at my previous life and think for about 15 minutes.
15 minutes where no words are ushered.
"I wish to become strong enough so that I will be able to decide my own life."
"What will you do once you have that power?"
"I'm going to look."
"what are you looking for? What do you truly desire, Edwin Gwayne?
I hear my name coming from her mouth and I feel shocked by how much she knows. Yet that is not the thing I think of long. Because as soon as she asked that question with my old name, I knew my answer.

For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. Want this story in smaller bites? Click here!

Embers of the Shattered God
For over three thousand cycles since the Ascension, magic has been available to the people of the Colonized Worlds. An era of prosperity marred by conflict. Then, a hundred cycles ago, the wars ceased. The precarious peace between the Empire and the Kingdom of Ascion ends when an imperial ambassador is murdered. The case is thoroughly investigated, irrefutable evidence gathered, and a manhunt for the killer begins. The only problem? The investigators don’t seek to restore peace – they seek to justify war. As many people’s fates get entangled by the crime, who can say which ones the chaos will reap? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Release Schedule Chapters will be released once per week, though I've not yet decided on a specific day. Regardless, there shouldn't be more than seven days between chapters, but should that be the case, I'll state it in the post author note. Severed Fates, book 1 of EOTSG A multiple POV fantasy set in the future. This book will feature elements of space travel and advanced technology, but not too much, and the main focus will be on the characters as they strive to achieve their goals. All feedback is appreciated because it'll help me improve the story.
