《TRX's Adventures》Vol. 4 Day 5: Flight and swim.
Advertisement
It was dawn. TRX and the others woke up. Green adorned the entire landscape. The winds caressed our protagonists as they observed everything around them.
They went to explore the surroundings. They visited a river that was close to them. They bathed in it. The crystal clear water was refreshing.
Then they went outside and lay down in the sun, drying off and resting.
- Hey... Does anyone know how many days we've been here? - asked Roundy.
- It is impossible for us to know, but I estimate three days. - said Pointy.
- I already want to go home... This place is very lonely... It scares me. - said Roundy.
- It scares us too, but we don't even know where we are? - said TRX.
- ...What do we do? We can't do anything... - said Blocky.
- Poor things... - said a hoarse voice in the distance. - Getting caught up in a conflict beyond their comprehension...
The group was startled after hearing that voice and turned to see where it was coming from.
It was about 20 meters away, approximately. It was someone whose face could not be seen because he was covered with a cloak. His cloak had several colors, to be more exact, it was blue and crimson red. It also had a kind of v-shaped accessory, it seemed to be made of gold.
- It is truly sad... To be taken away from your home to fulfill a mission of which you don't have the slightest idea... And to be forced to fulfill it... Although, to be honest, it's the first time something like this has happened... And, for that reason, I will not allow you to continue advancing, it took us a long time to seal off this world.
- What are you talking about? - said TRX.

- Seal this... world? - said Roundy.
- So you're their ally too? - said Blocky.
- Yes, the first monster said something about unsealing this world and something about a Hero? - said Pointy, looking sideways at that guy. - Tell us what the hero is!
- No. I won't... I have a lot of things to tell you, but it's impossible for me... I'm sorry... You must die.
He finished saying that, and it started to rain very hard and the powerful winds made Pointy could not keep flying and he was swept away by them.
While this was happening, that guy jumped in Blocky's direction and attacked her with his right hand, from which a blade came out, but Blocky protected herself with an ice barrier and made spikes come out of it, which pierced that guy... But what was on the spikes was only his cloak, he had disappeared.
Everyone was looking at the cape with surprise and, out of nowhere, that man, with his cape and all, appeared behind Pointy, who was floating, and gave him an elbow that made him fall.
- What? - shouted Blocky when she saw that.
- Watch out! - shouted Roundy, too, when he saw the enemy's movements.
The caped man quickly approached TRX, running with his arms behind his back... And he tried to stab TRX with his blade, but TRX was more agile and dodged it, stepping to the side of the blade and nimbly getting behind him to make him fall.
- Blocky, now! - shouted TRX.
- Huh?
Blocky, who was a few meters away, began to freeze the raindrops that fell on the guy. These turned into a kind of blades and, apparently, hurt the guy, who was not expecting this attack. From his body came out a red liquid that the group had never seen before.

- That was... Surprising, I have to admit... But... Are you ready for this? - shouted the man, who, still lying there, clapped his hands once and a tornado appeared in the distance. - Grand Tornado!
- W-What's that? - asked Blocky.
- It can't be, that... Is that air? - said Pointy, who was being healed by Roundy. - Roundy, get away from me!
- ...Okay!
Roundy moved about 25 meters away from Pointy. Pointy, seeing that Roundy was in a safe zone, shot down to the ground and exploded, making a deep hole.
- Come on, quick! - shouted Pointy to the rest.
They all went to the hole, which was about ten meters deep.
- Blocky, cover the roof quickly! - said Pointy.
- Okay!
Blocky did as she was told. She covered the hole with ice.
When the tornado passed over the ice, it began to break it. Blocky did her best to keep her defense from breaking, but she was getting tired. Roundy healed her during this time so Blocky wouldn't get tired.
The tornado then drifted into the surrounding areas, destroying everything in its path.
At this time he began to approach the man, who was still not recovering from his wounds.
"I see what they’re trying to do... They are truly impressive creatures. Despite this being their first time seeing a tornado, they made a quick hypothesis of what it might do, and planned something to defend themselves... Truly, they are amazing. Due to the divine wounds my body received, I won't be able to survive Grand Tornado's power... Heh, not bad though... To perish by these beings... Although, at the end of the day, this is all my fault, I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have..."
That guy, after saying that, received a full on attack from his own Grand Tornado, disintegrating from the power of it.
After perishing, everything calmed down. The group was under the ice for a while until they realized that everything had calmed down... And they began to hear the birds singing.
When they stepped out, everything was a ruined mess. It was a very depressing sight... But in the skies they could see birds!
The group was surprised by this too.
They moved away from the battle site and went to a more peaceful place: a forest a few miles away.
On the way they passed by a river, which also ran through the forest, and found that there were many fish in it, of different colors and shapes.
When they reached the forest, they also saw birds of all kinds and colors.
- Seriously, this reminds me of something. -said TRX.

8 85Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
8 140Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
