《Orion》51

The stomping of boots by hundreds of men, got dust clouding the atmosphere, making it impossible for anyone to see what was beyond. Hundreds of Bandits rushed forward, screaming at the top of their voices, while raising their weapons high into the air.
"There's no way we're gonna fight them all off. They are just too many for us" Aiden spoke at once, staring at the incoming men.
He was stood next to Pavlos, who was busy making calculations on where to attack from, and whom to attack.
"Speak for yourself" Sima uttered immediately, in response to Aiden.
Grabbing her arrows out, she raised the bow high in the air, shooting the arrows forth, not stopping for once.
"We've got ourselves covered" Sonora smirked, bringing her own bow out and then firing at the men.
The arrows which flew rapidly in the air, shot at the men, taking their bodies down to the ground instantly, while the rest who were lunged forward attacked.
Elpida on the other hand grabbed a stick, shoving the men back with it, striking and beating whosoever attacked her.
She covered Pavlos and Aiden, warding off any attack which they were unaware of.
Sonora who was feet away, soon tossed her bow to a side, after shooting dozens of arrows, her eyes resting on the man who was slowly approaching her.
He dropped his own weapon down, smirking and stepping closer.
Seeing the harness which rested on her head, a wide grin escaped his lips.
"A Sedonian, huh?"
"You must feel bad knowing that it would be a man who would kill you. Me!" He said
Hearing his words, she grabbed the harness off her head, throwing it to the ground, and then looking up at him.
"I dare you to kill her!" She spat.

He chuckled immediately, drawing closer to the harness and stomping on it with his worn-out boots.
He threw a kick at Sonora immediately, pushing her down, and then stepping on her face with his feet, while she screamed aloud.
Bending low to her, and getting on one knee, he groped her breasts, roaming his hands all over her body, while chuckling in the process.
Taking a dagger out, he raised it at her, aiming for her face, when suddenly, she pushed him back with her feet, getting him to stagger, trying to gain his stance.
She sprung up instantly, flipping towards him, and jumping to sit on his neck, while locking her legs in.
She flipped backwards to the ground in a quick motion. With his head still locked in between her thighs, she twisted his neck, cracking his bones instantly, and then kicking his body away.
Slowly, she got to her feet, panting heavily, while gazing at the body of the man, with his eyes widely open.
"It must hurt, knowing that a Sedonian got to kill you" She muttered under her breath.
"Kill them all!" One of the bandits yelled, grabbing a dagger out the side of his boots, peering at Orion in a dangerous manner, who had his back turned to him.
Cautiously, he moved closer, watching him from behind, determining what part of him to strike.
His eyes lit up immediately, seeing that his partner, the bandit, was gaining prowess over Orion.
Seeing that as a distraction, he lunged forward, approaching him, and in an instant, brought the blade down, striking him on the side of his belly.
The loud groan of Orion, echoed across the fields, past the woods, sailing by the rivers, and finally settling in the sky.
He dropped to his knees, with his head bent low, while his hands rested on where he was struck.

With weak eyes, he glanced back to look at his striker, and without hesitation, he got to his feet, thrusting his blade into the chest of the man, stopping his heartbeat immediately.
Feeling settled that he had killed the man who brought his blade on him, he then fell to the ground, grunting in a very low voice, while gasping for air.
"Orion!" He heard the voice of Bellona scream his name, so loud.
It sounded distant from where he laid, which made him think he was slowly passing on. Her figure soon came into view, hovering over his body, while she placed her hands over the deep cut of wound, trying to stop the flow of blood.
The roaring of the clouds up ahead thundered through valleys, with the once bright sky turning dark, signaling the coming of a storm.
Tiny raindrops followed, and then the flood came pouring down, drenching everyone completely, washing away the blood which stained the earth.
Orion's vision soon darkened, while his eyes shut slowly, as Bellona held him close to herself, screaming for help.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
