-------------------
She looked anxious and very nervous to see her baby again. Seeing my dear mother so nervous, I embraced her in my arms, trying to give her courage.
“Don't worry everything is going to be alright...” (Kneeko)
“Fufufu silly you... Just do it already i can't wait to see my baby.” (Anastaria)
After leaving Mendy behind to prevent her from being attacked by Irya in the confusion, we went outside to a sunny area and readied ourselves for what was to come. Mother still thought i was going to bring back Irene but for my plans to advance more swiftly i had already decided to bring back Irya first.
I walked a bit further ahead, pulled out the giant sized dragon core from my inventory and gently laid it on the ground. After doing that I turned around and looked at my beautiful mom. She had her left hand over her mouth, tears pouring like waterfalls.
“I- Irya?... Didn't you- W-w-why didn't you tell me? Sob* sob*” (Anastaria)
“It's called a surprise, mom.” (Kneeko) I couldn't help but show a prideful smile as she fell on the ground abruptly realizing what was about to happen.
“Sob* I-I'm going to see my- baby again?... sob* sob*” (Anastaria)
"AAWwwww" (Argy)
"......The fuck is this shit?" (Itzal)
“Tell me when you are ready.” (Kneeko)
“I AM! Thank you! Sob* Kneeko sob* sob* Thank you so muchhh. Sob* sob*” (Anastaria)
“Alright then, let's do this.” (Kneeko)
"Finally some action!" (Itzal)
Regaining her strength, Anastaria stood back up, her eyes filled with anticipation. I placed my hand over the big pulsating core and used the miracle skill. [Resurrection]!!!
The core quickly began to glow and to grow. A big blue light was slowly taking the familiar shape of a dragon then finally stopped growing just shy of Asta's full size. The blue glow having subsided offered us the sight of a majestic white dragon with scales glowing and shimmering with all the colours of the rainbow.

“GGGGGRRRRrrrrrrrrrrr*” (Irya)
"HIIIiiiiiiiiiiiii" (Argy)
"YEAaaa GO on a rampage! Come on!" (Itzal)
“IRYA!!!!!!! BABYYYY!!!!!! Sob* sob*” (Anastaria)
“RRRRrrrr.... Mom? Uhh? What happened I was.. FATHER! Mom we need to help father!!!” (Irya)
[...]
Well that's going to be awkward...
"Gulp* The poor child." (Argy)
"He's DEAD! HahaHAhahaha Tell her! Tell her! Rampage here we go!!!!! *munch on popcorn*" (Itzal)
“Baby... Your father and you have been dead for more than 3 years already... I thought I'd never see you again.. Sob* sob*” (Anastaria)
“Uh? What are you talking about dead? I'm here aren't I? By the way where is this?” (Irya)
She transformed into her humanoid appearance while looking around and eventually her eyes stopped on me. She tilted her head sideways before turning back to her mother for answers.
“Who's that?” (Irya)
“Ho! He- He's.. Hmm... This is- Mhhh” (Anastaria)
“Hello Irya! My name is Kneeko and I am your fath-” (Kneeko) As fast as lightning, Anastaria punched me in the balls making me fall on the ground while holding them. 1, 2.. Uff they're still there.. Cough cough That was... uncalled for dammit... I just wanted to do a small star wars reference.
"That was well deserved! You idiot." (Argy)
"Hahahaha Right in the balls." (Itzal)
“Honey... Your father and you died that time. We found your core a few hundred meters away from home. Sob* Sob* Kneeko just brought you back to life.” (Anastaria)
“The good looking guy rolling on the ground over there did?” (Irya)
“Umfff y-yes... I-I did... umfff* umff*” (Kneeko)
“Father is dead...” (Irya) After realizing all that happened, Irya sat on the ground, lifeless. Anastaria immediately ran to her and took her in her arms, not wanting to let go.
Cryyyyyyy* CRYYYYyyyyyyy* Sob* sob* sob*
"Sob* sob* sob*" (Argy)
"......Da fuq? I give up.. KILL ME!" (Itzal)
They both cried for some time while holding each other... I kinda felt like the 5th wheel of the carriage in that situation. I stood there, silently... Massaging my precious balls while hoping nothing was broken. I'll get you back for this Anastaria just you wait! Utch..

Once they finally stopped crying, they began to recall what had happened. Man was I not surprised by what she said. Apparently she and her father had been ambushed by 5 dragons... Go figure. Damyon was obviously one of them.
She had almost successfully escaped but had been injured in the process and ended up dying of blood loss before being able to warn her mother of the betrayal. Nothing I hadn't already deduced on my own. Irya threatened Damyon's position of leader so he got rid of her with the help of his little friends.
Then it was Anastaria's turn to begin recalling what had happened to her and Irene. Then it finally became my turn to show up in the story. I crawled closer to them ready for my introduction.
“And this when we met Kneeko. An incredibly brilliant Drag- Phen- ehhhhh-” (Anastaria)
“Dranix... Some kind of hybrid between a dragon and a phoenix...” (Kneeko)
“Really??? Never heard of anything like that before. But mom? Aren't phoenixes supposed to be our enemies?” (Irya)
“Like I said..... I'm not a phoenix!” (Kneeko)
"Hoo this is truly an interesting story..." (Argy)
"HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I'M BORED!!!! LET'S GO KILL SOMETHING ALREADY!!!!" (Itzal)
We kept talking and talking... about everything. We tried to fill her in as much as possible on our situation. Then I asked her about her research on the clan's ceremony and mentioned that I was quite advanced myself in arcane magic.
As soon as I said that, Irya became very exited and wouldn't stop talking and talking... Itzal was relentlessly annoying me like he used to do in the past...
"Stop playing house and grow some balls! Go kill something you pussy! Then maybe I'll stop bugging you... Dumb-ass!" (Itzal)
"Umff.. Totally uncalled for." (Argy)
"Youuuu!!!" (Itzal)
Sighhhh I need a break... ,a warm bath and a good meal. Mendy brought back some type of wild pig earlier today, let's go butcher that thing.. I'm starrrving.
“Are you hungry Irya?” (Kneeko)
“Now that you mention it. I'd gladly take you up on this offer mister.” (Irya)
Urgg.. Mister? Da fuq... Anastaria told her I was older than her and all but still.. Being called mister by my own sister, how heart breaking.. Snif snif.. Guhuhuhu*
“Alright, let's show you your room and our living accommodation for the moment. Then we'll look over your research and go from there. Is that okay with you?” (Kneeko)
“Sounds just perfect. Can't wait to kill those bastards. They even dared kill my baby sister... Thank you for your help mister handsome gentleman.” (Irya)
Urgg... Handsome gentleman???? Guhuhuhu* Charm points are a force to be reckoned with... And so will be my army when I'm done here. guhuhuhu*
"Urggg there he goes again..." (Argy)
"YEaaa can't wait !! Gimme blood dammit !" (Itzal)

8 188Somebody Stop Her
In a world of villains and heroes, the Kilborne family moved to the small town of Saint Mary. Their new neighbors, living in the 1888 Saint Mary cathedral, turned out to be a family of supervillains. Martin Kilborne would find school perfectly mundane if it wasn't for Alexa Terranova who is: constantly bothering him with a pocket raygun, demanding he become her minion and threatening to blow up the principal's office in a series of unnecessarily complicated, wacky plots. The more Martin learns about Alexa, the more dangerous and insane his life becomes as he is dragged into terrible, misfortunate, no good adventures of doom. A wholesome, slice of life, superhero / supervillain sci-fi comedy, sprinkled with elements of horror.Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55'555 words in 35 days!Dedicated to my daugher who has an unbendable stubborn spirit and my friends at the Silver Pen server who motivated me to write new things!
8 238Erased
Alone in a vast expanse of knowledge and void of any previous memory what else was I to do but learn? The world above awaited me, but down here it was all I could do to read about it, prepare for it. How long would it take for me to see my first of the Learned Races, or encounter my first monster? To simply see a [City Guard] or a [Warrior] maybe even a [Mage], even then I'd be sated no matter how basic the Class. I wanted to witness what I read about, the fantastical [Secret Stache] of a [Treasure Hunter] or a [Pickpocket] using [Deft Hands]. These were natural occurrences above, but alas, I was below. And this deep down, I'd see my first horror before seeing any mere monster. My escape were the books but soon I'd turn that knowledge into a real escape, I'd emerge from this dear library and claw my way above. But I'd need to prepare myself, I just didn't know how yet. So back to my books.
8 219Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week.

8 140The Final Quest
Everybody loves the Elder Scrolls games, no matter what game a person plays, it always is a unique and fun time. This is just one verse in the song of Tamriel. Call it Fanfiction, call it a light novel, heck just call it a one shot story. I don't care.(well actually I do, but thats next to the point) However, please remeber this as you read. This story is created through my own understanding of the story of the Elder Scrolls world.(with some help from online videos) If I misinterpret something, say so. I may fix it... eventually. Please, enjoy The Final Quest
8 141RE: Necromicy! The Mouse Necromancer!
Mikey was a good boy... with some mental issues, as his mother drunk a lot while being pregnant, and father sometimes could drop him while tying to cuddle him (he was always drunk) and because of his problems he never got friends. BUT when he was in London in the year of 2012 he got hit by a firetruck and died. But that was not the end of his journey, as he met an old lady Death, who actually likes cute things, and doesn't have friends due to her looks. So the little guy befriended her before transporting to the new world, but... Death being an airhead as she is, accidentally turned him into a mouse... *** Warning! This fiction has no serious plot and is set with rules of Pyro universe, slightly modified. Made because there were no Mouse Necromancers... There was a Hamster Demon lord, but... RIP Hamster... Will be updated at least once a week, unless said otherwise. Chapters will be quite short by the way. Chapters will be posted when I push myself to continue with this fiction. Moose decided to run away, or muse... or mouse, but in this case, it's probably the fault of my cat...
