《Burn Archer》Six- Reunion
Advertisement
I should never have let my guard down. The moment I had met Titan, I'd seem to have forgotten my number one priority- to protect myself.
I felt tears form in my eyes as I punched him in the shoulder. "And here I was thinking that maybe you wouldn't turn out as everybody says. But here we are, you did."
I ran off the balcony and into the house where the warm breeze slammed into me. I sprinted for the exit as soon as I heard Titan following me calling out my name.
I knew I shouldn't be stepping out of the house but it held as much as danger inside as out. It was like walking into a dinosaur cage from the lion's.
I burst out the main door which I had felt so comfortable entering hours ago. Suddenly I felt somebody grab a hold around my wrist. I spun my hand backwards and tried to jerk my hand out of his grasp.
"Burn, you've got to listen to me," he begged.
"What do you want from me? That I fall for your trap again?!" I roared, not caring whether he whole road was staring at us.
"She lies. She manipulates. You haven't been exposed to everything just yet so you haven't learnt the art of lying yet."
I quieted down as Titan continued, "I haven't brought a single girl home for at least a year and I swear I wasn't gonna do anything to you."
"Then why would you talk to an girl like me?" I asked quietly.
"A girl like you?! Do you have any idea how cool you are?" Titan roared.
A red light in the sky twinkled at the corner of my eye. It was a spaceship closing in and probably soon about to head off. They were being chased by another spaceship.

I recognised the spaceship. It's our one!
This was my only chance to being able to contact them. To contact Sebastian. A bell tower stood tall a few metres away from Titans house.
All my anger seemed to have passed as I now focused on the new hope that was forming in my chest. "That's my spaceship, Titan!
"What-"
"I have to get their attention-"
Titan's grip got tighter around my hand. "You could stay with me! We'll become roommates or even-"
I interrupted,"Titan, you could come with us. Come with me."
He hesitated for a minute before shaking his head. "I can't abandon mum."
"Just like I can't abandon my family and planet, Titan," I called out as I pulled my hand away, sprinting to the bell tower.
I skipped the steps up the spiral staircase of the bell tower. Titan was a few steps behind me.
When we reached the top, I folded my hands on top of the rope that hanged from the bell. I tugged on it as hard as I could, pulling in all different directions.
The screeching sound that banged against the tower bells probably sent people crying.
I yelled on the top of my lungs. "Here! Ash! Eleanor!"
Titan was fiddling with his hands. That's when I realised that he'll probably know some of them.
He grew up with those people.
"Titan, we could save you and your mum!"
"Maybe I shouldn't see them," he said as he turned his back on me.
"They might recognise you!" I said hopefully.
"That's what I'm afraid of," I heard him murmur.
The spaceship crashed into the bell tower as I turned to glance at it.
"You have no idea how much trouble we went through to find you," Eleanor declared as she beautifully strolled out of the spaceship.

Ivory, on the other hand, had already flung her hands around me. My smile broadened as Tyson sprinted out and picked me off the floor, his arms around my waist.
"Tyson, I never thought I'd say this but a man's best friend really is a dog," I exclaimed, running my fingers through his hair.
He roared with laughter. "And I never thought I'd say that some humans are sexy but reckless aliens."
"You wish you got a piece of this reckless alien," I chuckled.
"That I already do," he said looking at Sebastian as he approached me.
Wait, did Tyson, the werewolf god, just admit he might like me? No, I must've been hearing things.
I took in Sebastian's perfectly sculpted face as he reached for a hand shake. Suddenly I felt like a mess with the dirty bun and Titan's shirt.
Titan. Guilt dug through my skin as I recalled the moment we kissed. Should I tell him? But who's he to know those things?
His eyes fell to my legs and then met my eyes. "That's a male's shirt," he said.
The first thing he said to me was about my shirt? What was wrong with him?
"Yeah-"
"Where did you get it from?" he demanded.
"I met someone who saved me."
"Who?"
"Titan-"
"A guy? You were in such short clothes with a guy you barely met?" he shouted.
"Why are you shouting? And why do you care?! I'm here now-"
"You're so reckless... you'll trust any attractive guy you meet?"
"Excuse me?!" I roared.
"First me and then Tyson and now some guy...Titan?" His face was a violent hue of red.
"That's called making friends, you fool!"
"I don't care-" he started off.
"You can't talk to her like that," someone roared from the shadows and Titan stepped out.
Sebastian gritted his teeth vigorously. "Don't tell me what to do-"
He stopped abruptly and they both blinked at each other before Sebastian lashed out at Titan's face, clawing his cheeks with his fingernails.
Titan was stronger and punched him off before smashing his knee into Sebastian's stomach.
"Stop!" I yelled, sprinting between the tumbling pair. "Stop fighting."
Titan stood up after throwing Sebastian off and placed his hands on my shoulders.
"He's Ash?!" he asked, shaking my shoulder.
"Yeah, there seems to be a problem -"
"Well, of course there's a god damn problem!" he roared, frightening me slightly.
"Your scaring me Titan. Stop it."
"You should be scared of me. I would never have let you go if I knew he was with you-"
"Stay the hell away from her!" Sebastian roared, pushing his way up from the ground.
The others, I realised, were standing dumbfounded at the situation which was unfolding before them.
Titan grabbed a piece of shattered glass which lay on the floor from the spaceship crash and brutally twisted his arm around my neck.
"Move and I stab her," he exclaimed, bringing the shard dangerously close to my chest.
"Titan," I begged. "We're friends. Remember?"
The others had hit reality and were now standing with their guards up.
"I sold the lie to you, Burn, and I betrayed you. What do you think I was doing in the house I met you? I was exactly where I wanted to be."
"You played me?" I said, my voice betraying me.
"I'm part of Alliance and I came to this planet on my own accord."
My body felt weak as the next few violent words tumbled off his tongue.
"My real name is Raven Lowell. I'm Sebastian's brother."

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
