《MAGE CHRONICLES: THE BEGINNING.》KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOUR.
Advertisement
Gawking at the scene in front of us, I don’t register anyone close to me until they grab my arms throwing me onto a shoulder.
“hey what the…”
“Killian??????????”
“wait the sw… wait where did it go?”
“stop fidgeting. We need to leave, that distraction will not last long.”
I try turning towards the fireball that was putting Bright Knights on their asses; the princes included.
“what exactly is that ‘distraction’?”
“Keon, now shut up,I need to… shit.”
“what… what is it?”
“going somewhere pretty boy?”
That voice has me turning so fast I almost fall off Killian’s shoulder, how the hell did he get in front of us? I just saw him engulfed in fire a moment ago.
“Cain, Killian drawls nonchalant as ever, “what can I say places to be people to kill, now if you’ll excuse us…”
“Not so fast, leave her here and you can be on your way.”
“Now that’s a little difficult, see she’s the reason I’m here, sort of defeats the purpose of coming all the way here.”
“she’s a fugitive of the law, that means she’s mine.”
At that I scoff, "in your dreams asshole," Cain visibly bristles and a smack lands firmly on my ass, “be nice midget.”
This man just spanked me, holding my tongue I wriggle till he sets me down my back to his front. His hands remain around me pulling me closer.
What is happening right now?
Even Cain looks confused.
“um, Killian?”
“mmmm,” he answers nuzzling my neck
Holy shivers, what was this man doing?
“Whatever you're doing, now is so not the time.”
“no, it’s perfect,” he answers head still buried in my neck.
“Now this is entertaining.”

“shut up!”
Cain’s face scrunches further.
Killian mutters something under his breath and yanks me even closer, grinding into me.
I swallow a gasp as heat unfurls in my lower half, and my legs crumple, but the tight grip he has on me doesn’t let me get to the ground.
Head back in my neck, he nips at my pulse still grinding into me and I almost explode… almost.
Fuck!
Now I’m soaked.
I glance up at Cain who was watching unabashedly, and I see his nose twitch before he takes a deep breath and his eyes turn heated.
Did he just sniff… me?
Mortified, I renew my efforts to break away from Killian when I kid you not, a growl comes from behind us.
“Finally,” Killian exclaims jumping away from me, “I thought I’d have to make her scream to get your psycho ass to focus.”
What?
I won’t get hurt, I won’t get hurt, damn it Mahina, that was all just for show.
The growl comes again distracting me, “did he just…?”
“Yap,” Killian moving further away hands raised.
I turn to the growl and I see a humanoid figure still engulfed in flames.
I let out a screech jumping away forgetting Cain was still there, but before I got close to him Killian yanks me back.
“Get your hands off me!”
He immediately lets me go and looks like he’s going to say something but thinks better of it, turning his head away jaw clenched.
Fucking prick.
“Is this a good time to remind everyone we are supposed to be escaping?”
“let’s go,” the now very normal man says, I stare at him transfixed because the guy was still smoking, and his clothes were scorched.
“about that, we seem to have a minor problem.”

That statement seems to shake Cain out of his trance and whatever heat I had glimpsed in his eyes was now rage, figures.
Yanking a sword from the sheath around his waist, he advances menacingly, “I told you she’s not going anywhere, alive that is, you are free to carry her remains out of here, we shall not taint our land with them.”
“ouch.”
“she can leave,” the king says appearing from thin air.
“What?” Splutters Cain, even his brothers who had joined us having clearly survived Shoto over here going berserk earlier turn to their father questioningly.
“she killed Alain, she massacred our people, laughing the whole time!”
“no, she didn’t, and if you stop letting your anger lead you by the balls you’d realise it too,” answers King Darian.
Well, at least someone doesn’t think I am a murderer.
“as I was saying, she can leave if she promises to be back once the investigation concludes to…”
“fuck no,” Keon says.
“Keon, I was hoping ignoring you would make you a figment of my imagination.”
“no chance of that traitor,” Keon shoots back the vehemence in his tone barely concealed.
“We are taking her home and we would know better than to make any promises with your ilk.’
Ooh, drama.
“did you sniff bane?”
As if Darian heard him, his head snaps to me as if yanked by a leash. He scans me from head to toe as he moves closer.
Against my better judgement, I scoot closer to Keon, as soon as I register the movement and the answering glint in the king’s eyes, I try to move back but hands wrap around my waist holding me in place.
“where is it? Darian asks, “where is he?”
“where’s what asks Jain moving closer closely followed by his brothers.
“the artefact, where did you put it?”
Oh shit, they mean the sword, fat chance of getting it from me...when I didn't even know where it went.
“I…”
“don’t tell him, they don’t think you have it.
“I couldn’t take it, I left it there.”
“If you are lying to me little girl,” Darian says his tone menacing for the first time when addressing me.
“what will you do?” Keon challenges dragging me to his back.
Any other time I would have protested the action but now I keep up with the weak act, “I… swear I couldn’t take it, he was so mad, I…” que a shudder to sell my point further.
“he was in there with you?” bursts Cain.
Shit.
"you idiot."
At the same time, his brothers lift off faces frantically heading back into the library.
“fuck,” the king mutters, following them.
“I don’t know what just happened, but let’s go before they come back,” Killian says.
We hustle towards the glimmering shield at one end of the library courtyard.
Must have jinxed it because they come hurtling back outside with rage on all their faces.
I take a step towards the shield, hoping to escape before they got to us again when electricity pulses through me eliciting a scream from me, then low and behold, the stupid sword makes an appearance, hovering before my face.
I turn slowly to find the entire living Bright royal family gaping at me.
“oops.”

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
