《Solitude's Requiem》A Seer's Blessing
Advertisement
"home you say, wanderer? I wonder what that would be. However, we have derailed from our goal long enough."
"Well, it seems you know a lot about me so I would like to have some answers of my own."
"What answers do you search?"
"You seem capable of knowing enough to go outside. Yet Randyl talks as if he's the only one capable of doing that. Why is that?"
"This is the city of Luciel wanderer. But I've been blinded and now I resemble Asariel. The church has been on my back ever since."
"This place has a church?" I ask flabbergasted.
"yes, Mind you it's not a church of redemption or anything like that. Could you see any of these demons and devils actually praying? No, I didn't think so." She says with her typical soft tone. Yet I could hear her tone get a little bitter.
"So how does the church even exist then?"
"The church has the authority for giving names and Luciel's blessing. Luciel's blessing gives more power and the name gives the recognition that you are one of the demons worthy of carrying her burden."
"Would that be something I should strive for?"
"I would even say it's necessary for your goal." She immediately answers before continuing.
"If your goal is finding this new home. Then I would guess that you will have to cross to Genesias. It's the church who has a lot of information about things like that."
"How should I try and gain this Blessing?"
"Become prominent in the arenas of the blood district. If you could show them that you're a strong demon yet named. then they could be very interested in what you could achieve."
I think about the advice Leilaya has given me. It seems I need to try and gather favor with the church. Otherwise, I won't be able to travel to Genesias. Will I be able to find it there? I don't know but I see no reason not to try. Whilst in the middle of my thoughts, her voice rings out once more to me.

"We should probably end our conversation here. You have a lot to think about. Let me give you what you came here for in the first place."
As soon as she finished speaking I could see a runic white eye glow through her blindfold. She beckons me to come closer to her. I come closer and as soon as I stand next to her. She places her hand against my forehead and speaks.
"Valaris Zatar Amoulis"
Her runic eye starts glowing once more and I can feel some sort of "clarity" rushing into my mind.
"I've given you seer's sight." She says as if I should already know.
"What does that mean? I ask hoping it's something cool.
"It helps in deciphering unknown magic and helps in understanding rituals."
She pauses before she continues to speak.
"The one who seeks power should first seek knowledge after all."
I give her a nod as I make my way out of the small house. Randyl who seems to have heard me leave quickly follows me out before speaking.
"I knew that great sir would get my mistress approval. Randyl is very excited about all the things great sir will do."
"You say that as if the reason for me bringing me here wasn't me threatening to kill you."
Randyl's face gave me a mischievous smirk before running back inside.
'Strange...very strange' I think to myself.
'I guess I should get back to Ashmodai and see if I just have to eat this stupid card or if there is more to it.'

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
