《War Beast》Book Two: Chapter 8
Advertisement
Huntar climbed up a stiff cliff on an enormous, tall mountain in the jungle. He believed if he could reach the top, he could see where Jenny might be taken to. It might be a poor choice, but he has to try.
"How much further?" Zena shouted below him. "I still believe this is a bad decision!"
"I told you!" Huntar exclaimed. "I will not give her up!"
"Errrrrr! I can't stop seeing your scrotum!"
"Then cease looking, pervert!" Huntar's hands reached the edge, and he climbed over it.
On the top, he helped Zena up and waited for Torag to reach the top next. After the rhino got on top, Huntar glanced around.
He could see the entire jungle around the mountain, but no signs of whoever took Jenny. Perhaps this was the waste of his time.
"Look over there!" Zena shouted.
Huntar saw the zebra girl pointing her finger toward the other side. "What is it?"
He approached Zena and peeked over her shoulder.
Miles from the mountain, there was a strange structure in the darkness, near the jungle outskirts. Hunter couldn’t determine its true form, but the structure shined in blue lights. Besides the moon, it was the only place shining in the jungle darkness.
“I think it is a village,” Zena suggested.
Huntar beamed his eyes. “I don’t believe so. It’s blue.”
“They could be crystal lamps, clouding the flames in blue light.”
“Torag?” The rhino asked.
"Only cave villages use crystal lamps," Huntar stated. "And why would they use powerful lights for the entire world to see them?”
Zena turned to him. "Maybe they have allies who -"
"Torag!" The rhino pointed his finger up.
"Now what?" Huntar looked up and saw more blue lights flowing over the mountain. They looked like stars until Huntar noticed the lights were on shiny metal saucers.

More saucers flew past Huntar and his companions, heading toward the glimmering structure.
"What are those things?" Zena shouted.
Huntar watched each saucer drift by while glaring his eyes in determination. "I am about to find out."
He faced the edge and rushed toward it. He leaped off the mountain and landed on a saucer as it zoomed past the mountain.
"Huntar!" Zena shouted until her voice disappeared in the wind.
Huntar held onto the sphere, mounted on the saucer body. The thing felt very smooth, with clean silver armor plates. Behind it, the flying saucer was leaving a buzzing sound trail, and the thing was two times bigger than the lion Beastman. Somehow, the thing didn't notice Huntar lying on top of it. Perhaps because it doesn't have any eyes.
Huntar tried scratching the thing and pushed his claws through its exterior. But the armor was too thick for him to rip open.
Amazing! If Huntar could craft the thing into an armor suit, no foe could ever defeat him in battle. What kind of magic could create an unknown thing?
As the saucer approached the structure among its flock, Huntar could fully see what the building appeared to be. A giant ring, but only half of it stood above what appeared to be a city. Rectangular towers stood in rows across the metal floor, full of lights and glass windows. Many more saucers hovered around the structures as if the strange city were their village.
Toward the center of the city, a square building as big as a mountain stood in front of the giant ring. Probably some kind of palace.
The saucer entered a large opening where Huntar dropped, landing on his bare feet. The chamber was full of metal cubes. Each saucer picked one cube up and flew out of the chamber, while the others placed the cubes back on stacks.
Huntar suspected one of the saucers abducted Jenny. She should be inside the strange structure.

The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will. I almost didn't put the tag there as it doesn't really fit the genre. I like happy endings.).The year is 201X, and the line between reality and the imaginary has become blurred. Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!

You Only Smol Twice: A Smol Detective Story
This is a fanfic set in the universe of They Are Smol, a delightful series of stories by TinyPrancingHorse which you should totally go and read. It’s the third in my own series about a human investigator in a galaxy full of aliens who are much bigger and stronger than any human. Obviously, there are plenty of spoilers for the previous two stories in here so consider yourself warned. After many successful investigations, Oscar Williams has his loyalty to his adopted alien family sorely tested. What appears to be a simple theft turns out to be anything but, and to capture the perpetrators Oscar might just have to betray his own species… Formal Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only TinyPrancingHorse TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a website should you require more Smol Shenanigans in your life. Which you do, so get over there and read it. The cover art for this is courtesy of Firebane.

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
