Arc II Chapter 17
━━━━━━┛༻❁༺┗━━━━━━
Aurora disappeared among the rubble and recruited her newest underlings. The will-o-wisps were pressed into service on an involuntary basis. Duty called and they would obey.
The sprites were far from innocent. Their thoughtless behaviour responsible for the entire disaster. No pardon would be given.
Aurora narrowed her eyes. Her icy gaze froze them solid.
“Zzzz.“ The will-o-wisps gulped. They sensed the approaching misfortune, but they knew it was too late. They wouldn't escape their punishment. Their mistress didn't negotiate.
Aurora scrutinised them. “Listen, my friends, we both know who is at fault here. We both know who provoked the wolf. It certainly wasn't me.“
The will-o-wisps lowered their head, confessing their guilt. They buzzed in shame,“Zzzzzz.“
Aurora approved of their repentance. “We will fight the beast together. And when I say together, I mean we, and when I say we, I mean you.“
Her new friends looked puzzled. Them?
The will-o-wips tilted their heads. “Zzzz?“ They didn't understand. The evil princess made no sense.
Aurora offered a benevolent smile. “Yes, you. You caused the problem. You will take responsibility.“
The spheres suffered a near heart attack. Their aether froze in their veins and their confidence dropped visibly. No sparks. No joy.
They had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling. Their mistress didn't intend to send them out against a vengeful beast, did she?
This was madness! This was insanity!
The sprites protested in unison, “Zzzzzz!“ They didn't sign up for dying!
Aurora sighed. Such pessimists. “Worry less, you won't die. At least, I hope so.“
The sprites grumbled. Their dissatisfaction rose. “Zzzz. Zzzz. Zzzz.“
“Zzzz. Zzzz.“
“Zzzz.“ Her last part didn't escape them. They heard the evil princess loud and clear. They were no cheap cannon fodder!

Aurora ignored their meek protest. Their complaints were dismissed and countered with her experienced glare. “Do I sense rebellious discontent among the nether ranks?“
...
...
...
Her glare proved effective and restored discipline. Order was maintained.
The will-o-wisps whimpered and submitted. Their aether wavered. Her eyes ... The girl was intimidating.
The sprites realised they have gotten themselves into something beyond their control. From here on, there was no way out. Their fate was irreversibly linked to the girl.
Aurora gifted them an encouraging smile. “Do not despair, though, because you are not alone. I have a plan.“
The will-o-wisps blinked. “Zzzz?“ She did?
Aurora clapped her hands. “I do. It's a simple plan. It's an effective plan. We will use the crystals against the enemy.“
“I will inject my mana and destabalise the crystal formation. This will trigger a chain reaction and set off the crystalised aether.“
“Zzzz.“ They were unable to follow, but the girl radiated confidence. Hopefully, she knew what she was doing.
“But preparations take time. That's where you come in. You will create a diversion while I set up the explosion.“
Aurora elaborated. “You will engage the enemy and act as a living decoy, attracting its attention. After establishing contact, you disengage and fall back.“
“I recommend you run and capitalise on your numerical superiority. Split up and disperse. Less likely to get caught. Less risk for anyone involved. Grouping together is always a dangerous business. Trust me, he won't get all of you.“
“Next step, you lead him back to my position and my little present finish him off.“
Aurora beamed. “In short, nothing complicated. Nothing elaborate. The least that happens is you getting eaten. You might end up as a snack, but life is a dangerous affair.“

The sprites declined to comment. Their blank stares told her enough.
“Any questions?“
...
“None. Excellent. Now off with you. The enemy is waiting.“ Aurora sent them off and took cover behind her wall. Aurora doll accompanied her.
“Courage! Show no fear!“ Aurora clenched her fists to demonstrate her resolve. “Never forget, I am behind you, right behind this wall.“
“Even my doll supports you. Aurora, wave at them.“ Her doll waved at them, and so did Aurora. Her wave carried a bitter aftertaste, a parting gift of dubious benevolence.
“Good luck. I believe in you.“ Her declaration sounded hollow and offered little consolation. The demon in human skin lied through her teeth.
...
...
...
The sprites gulped and faced the wolf. Time to confront the enemy. Time to die.
The will-o-wisps followed her command without as much as a complaint. They never doubted her authority.
━━━━━━┛༻❁༺┗━━━━━━
Aurora peeked over the wall. Her comrades floated towards the enemy. Brave little sprites. A pity their chances of survival were minimal, but such information shouldn't be divulged.
Her heart almost pitied them, but the realities of combat were tragic. Casualties were to be expected.
Aurora consulted her doll. Her counsel was appreciated. “Do you think they will make it?“
“...“
“I agree. Poor creatures. I hope they are fast.“ Aurora withdrew, biding her time. It was now on the fluffball brigade to prove their worth.

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Endsworld
This entire story is basically just me, having seen a piece of art on Tumblr, rereading Gerard Way's The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys and getting an idea that may or may not be a good thing?Set in a futuristic world similar to the one in Killjoys, but a bit less cynical. (If that makes sense)Please note that I've done absolutely no planning for this, have no idea when it will update or where I'm going, and the only ships in it are the ones that are confirmed to be canon. This means only Paultryck and Kim&Katya, whose ship name I don't know, and from what I've heard, Eduardo&Laurel is also canon(?), though I'm not sure if the neighbors will actually be in this much. Again, haven't planned anything!All I can say for sure is I won't kill any of the main cast, and this will revolve around the original four, namely Edd, Tom, Matt and Tord, with pre-The End designs (read as, "I like edgy Tord with darker hair"). Essentially it's their designs from Spares.Rated PG-13 to possibly M depending on where you live for gore/death and swearing-I'm not really one for gruesome details though so I try to keep the gory stuff a bit vague. You can always ask me about how bad it is before reading if you're worried it'll upset you, my inbox is always open.
