《Majo Magica》Chapter 21
Advertisement
The sand ball in the sky was getting larger and larger by the second. But unfortunately, those in the caravan had no plan to deal with it.
Itsuki: What do we do?!
Akeru: I-I-I don't know?! Let's hope she misses???
Ravenbeard: There be no missing with a shot that big, lass. Polisha is about to be flooded by its ruler.
The guards and its captain were all as scared as those in the caravan.
Captain: S-S-S-Sultana, what if that hits us?
Cleo: What if it does? I'll be fine~
Captain: B-B-But what of us?
Cleo: What about you?
The guards and captain were too scared to move; they could die to her for running away…or death due to the sand in the sky.
Armando: I can only go so fast! I don't think I can outrun that much sand! The port town is how far away?
Ravenbeard: About a 2-hour ride, mate. We don't stand a ghost of a chance right now.
The four looked up to the sky as the sand ball reached completion. The ground was all rock; not a speck of sand was left; luckily, the road the caravan was on was made of stone.
Cleo: This is the end…Sandocolypse!
The giant sand ball comes down at the ground like a meteor…but before it could reach it, a tornado the size of the ball formed underneath it, keeping the ball from crashing.
Ravenbeard: What in gods name…
Akeru: A-Armando, stop the caravan, or we will drive right into it!
Armando: I- I can't; it's already pulling us in!
Itsuki: Why didn't we just stay with Aurora…
Cleo's eyes widened as she clenched her fist in rage.
Cleo: That heathen…where is she?! Show yourself, Amani!!!
A harpy woman with short lime green hair and a brownish tan tribal outfit reveals herself in the sky.

Amani: Oh, Cleo…how cute of you to get riled up~ What happened this time? Did someone not pay enough attention to you~?
Cleo: You bitch! I'll fucking kill you!
Cleo transformed the giant ball of sand into millions of spears and sent them flying towards the harpy at incredible speeds. Amani was floating sideways in the air and yawned, waiting for the sand spears to come to her. Those in the caravan watch as the battle unfolds.
Akeru: Who is that woman?
Itsuki: I don't know…but if Cleo changed her target so quickly, it has to be…
Ravenbeard: Aye, it has to be another Witch.
Akeru: Oh! I think I remember reading about her in one of Aurora's books! The Sky Witch, ruler of the skies.
The caravan starts lifting off the ground as Amani gets rid of the tornado and surrounds herself with a wind shield. Then, the caravan plops back down on the ground as it speeds off.
Captain: S-Sultana, the caravan is-
Cleo instantly stabbed him in the chest with a hardened sand spear, glaring at Amani.
Cleo: Let them run; they won't get far for now. I have a more significant issue to deal with.
Amani: Cleoooooo~ Your spears don't work that well! Maybe try harder~
Cleo: How about you try growing some, you damn bitch!
Amani looked down at Cleo and huffed, glaring. Body-wise, Cleo has an average breast size while Amani was skinny with petite breasts.
Amani: Oh, so that's how you want to play?! Fine by me!
Amani dashes at Cleo at high speeds. Cleo sends a sand spear to her hand as she blocks Amani's attack with her razor-sharp wing. The guards all tremble in fear at the display of power between the two Witches.
Cleo: Why are you here?! Just to annoy me?!

Amani: Well, I was just flying through the air, thought I would see how my "sister" was doing-
Cleo: Don't you call me family, you wretch!
Cleo summoned the sand spears around them and started firing them swiftly at Amani. Amani's human feet suddenly morph into bird feet as she rolls around, still trying to fit Cleo with her wing and kicking the sand spears with her feet. Eventually, Amani flies away from Cleo and looks down on her.
Cleo: Had enough ?!
Amani: We hardly have gotten started. Why don't you give up? We both know I can destroy this country with you in it with a light of my finger…
Cleo: Go ahead and try! Then when you fail, I will trap you in so much sand it will be flowing out of all the holes in your body!
Though you probably have experience with things flowing out of your-
Amani sent a large wind blade at Cleo that hit and split the ground. Cleo just smirked at Amani.
Amani: I grow tired of your childish banter.
Cleo: The only child here is you~
Amani's eyes shine with rage as she points to the sky. Then, a giant storm happens around the two: tornadoes, lightning strikes, and heavy rain.
Amani: Time I finish that worthless mouth of yours once and for all!
Itsuki: T-These Witches don't mess around!
Akeru: Armando, try your best to avoid everything, okay!
Armando: C-C-C-C-Can do, miss!!
Ravenbeard: To think I would see two Witches fight in me lifetime…such an occasion is rare, despite how they usually feel about one another. Usually, when two fight, it ends in a draw with the battlefield laid to waste.
Itsuki: Oh, that's just freaking wonderful! Out of one mess and into another!
Akeru: We at least have a better shot at surviving now! She isn't aiming at us anymore; we just have to dodge anything that comes in our direction!
Cleo looked at the caravan in the distance. She glanced back at Amani and formed the sand from around her into a cage. Amani, of course, blew it all away with her wind. Cleo was gone, however, as she had started chasing the caravan. She was gliding with sand around her and on the ground like a wave.
Amani: Why is she going for that all of a sudden…could that be why she summoned her giant sand ball?
Amani smirked and giggled slightly as she zoomed past Cleo towards the caravan.
Cleo: Don't you even dare, you bitch!!
Cleo picked up her speed and chased after her.
Akeru: Oh no.
Itsuki: W-W-Why are both of them coming now?!
Ravenbeard: I highly doubt it be a truce…brace yourselves for what comes.
Armando: W-W-W-We are so beyond dead now…

End's End
Crow Tempora is an optimistic country bumpkin who knows very little of life in the heart of the world's cities, however behind his easy smile is a stony determination to achieve his goal of accomplishing the impossible- one that he can only reach by winning the Sieve, the largest competition of young Mystics the world has ever seen. Famous across the entire world and loved almost as widely, Gemini Menza has never known a single day of anonymity in her short life. Like most magical prodigies she has spent her years on guard against powerful Immortals attempting to use her as a tool, unlike most she is uniquely gifted and burdened with the position of being the single most magically prodigious individual of her generation- perhaps throughout all of history. Entering the Sieve not to work for victory, but to collect it as a boring chore, she soon finds herself shocked by the difficulty of her tasks, both inside the contest and out. After all, she was also given the privilege of joining at a younger age than anyone else. Machiavellian manipulator Unity Eden is growing tired of the tasks forced onto him by those who control him, unfortunately he also happens to be controlled by the leaders of the largest empire the world has ever seen. While he has little hope of wriggling his way out of it, he intends to make his entry into the Sieve as damaging to them as he can. While most are fixated on the events of the Sieve's stages, intently watching the young and talented as they go head to head to find out who holds the title of strongest, Karma Alabaster has her eyes on the powers behind the curtains- the endless machinations of the Immortals and their servants. Caught between enough crisscrossing schemes to form a spiderweb, she must use every ounce of her not inconsiderable mind to keep herself from playing into another's hands... all while solving a mysterious and seemingly impossible murder. The winds of change are blowing in Bermuda, and only one person will shape them. Cover art by: Nova @no_no_nova on tiktok @no_no_no_nova on ig THREE NEW CHAPTERS POSTED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

Piper
"It was one thing to find a harbor in a storm, and a complete other to expect that harbor to be safe." Piper Hayes has made it through three years of college at the University of Rhode Island basically unscathed - until the day her best friend, Molly, disappears from a job meant for Piper. Distraught, Piper lets herself fall into the company of a basically-unknown acquaintance, the impressive and charming Bash Rivera. Turns out, Molly's situation is the least of Piper's worries, and Bash doesn't quite manage to keep up his suave and sophisticated facade when events turn difficult. Mostly because, while he is trying to save her life, she spends all of her time afraid of him. Once Piper realizes her real enemy, she might find herself alone in her fight. If she manages to survive, just maybe she can graduate on time; more importantly, maybe she won't have driven away the one person who cares about her the way she cares about everyone else.

How to raise a Hive Queen
This story is about a newborn Hive Queen, which gets raised in an unexpected environment. The first part of the story will focus on her development and the challenges that come with it. Eventually she will start to produce her own swarm of hive creatures. The species of the Hive Queen is called the Sylv and they are a insectoid species with an hive mind. The Sylv can evolve themselves through extracting traits from other non Sylv creatures. This is limited to modify the basic set of creatures the Sylv can produce, they are not able to create completely new creatures. In this regard they are more like ants, who have workers, soldiers and queen ants. The Sylv live underground in so called hive complexes and use living structures in them to produce more of their kind. The Hive Queen is the leader of a Sylv Hive and responsible for evolving the swarm. This novel takes place in a fantasy setting and was inspired by other hive species like the Zerg from "Starcraft" made by Blizzard Entertainment, the Arachnea from "Her majesty's swarm" published on j-novel club, and the Vex from "I don't want to be the Hive Queen" by ValetheHowl. I really enjoy stories with an organic hive mind species and want to contribute myself. The focus and theme of this story will change as the Hive Queen matures and defines the goals she wants to achieve. If you like this story also check out my other fiction "To former Glory" here on Royal Road :D

Earth Ravaged: The Alliance Chronicles Book 1
Originally published on Amazon in 2013, now published here as a serial for the free enjoyment of all. Book 3 to come later this year. This one could also stand a complete re-write with the knowledge and skill I've developed in the interim, and I may do so once I have pushed out chapters for the third book in the series. In the not too distant future, a group of seven people will set out on a mission of exploration to a nearby star system. Their destination is the Tau Ceti system, one of ten planned destinations as part of a new privately-funded space programme, involving many countries across the Earth. However, old problems still exist, and while they make their successful launch, they have no idea what begins to take place at home, what they will face on their journey, and who decides to pay Earth a visit while they are gone.
