《Immutable》Lay your Weary Head to Rest

June watched the ensuing battle from above, grunting as she held up the last of the bombs. The enemy bombers had stopped their attack runs on the city now that their own soldiers were near the city gates.
"Let it go!" Nathan yelled over the wind. June released her power and watched as the bombs exploded above the dome, only a small amount of force crashing into them. Alex's cat jumped in front for the final time and used its shield to keep them all safe.
With no more threats from above June could finally focus on the battle below. What she saw wasn't good. The enemy army had pushed up to the North gate of Three Cities and was currently charging into the broken line of militia.
"We need to get down there," She said.
"Let's go Jim-Jam! Rocket!" Alex called. The group jumped on the two cats and held tight as they hopped down the dome.
They wouldn't make it in time. June could see that. The enemy would crash into the militia and she was too far away to use her power. She watched the red light engulf the charging soldiers, an ominous light of death. She forced herself to watch, turning away would do no one any good. She needed to be ready to counterattack, find the most effective area for it.
And then the light broke. No, it was more like it was never there. The soldiers were once again a normal formation charging forward into the irregular militia. Without their light, the soldiers were no longer a unit. The fight was now a brawl, all discipline thrown away. June caught a glimpse of Caleb before they landed, in front of the whole thing and surrounded by soldiers.
"The son of a bitch broke their line." She heard Alex mutter.

"We need to get in there, push them back!" June cried.
Nodding, Alex jumped off Rocket and onto Jim-Jam. "Catapult!" She cried as her feline companion jumped to her hand. The cat shot out, carving a line through the enemy soldiers. Jim-Jam followed in Rocket's wake.
Soon, June and the others had reached Caleb. He was standing in a tattered shirt and pants, utterly unharmed and taunting the soldiers trying to kill him.
"C'mon! My mother hits harder than that!" June heard him yell.
Focusing, June activated her power on a line of soldiers. All of them stopped, looking as if they were relaxing at a sauna and not in a pitched battle. Jim-Jam swiped at the line and sent them flying. None of the soldiers bothered to control their fall, they could always do it in a bit.
June released her power at the last second, too late for the soldiers to recover. Limbs bent at wrong angles and only the protection covering the army saved them from broken bones. "Caleb we need to get rid of the rest of the tanks!" She called.
"Yeah alright!" He answered. He jogged over the Jim-Jam, who grabbed him with his mouth and swung him up onto his back. Nathan and June caught him so he wouldn't fall.
"Go!" Alex commanded. The cat leaped over the line towards one of the tanks. Unable to fire into the militia now that their own soldiers joined, the armor had turned to fire at the dome. Half-cylinders of light would shoot periodically in the dome only to be blocked by the barrier powers from those in Three Cities.
There were only four left, but each one was staggering fire so the barrier took constant hits. Reaching the first one, June threw her power out at the cannon on top. Alex whispered to Butterwhiskers and the cat wisped off into the machine. Nathan and Caleb kept the soldiers around the tank at bay while the cat went to work. Once it popped out June released her power.

The cannon fired, but in a stroke of bad luck, the containment mechanism inside the tank broke and released the disintegrating beam inside. Light burst out of the tank, but June and rest were already on Jim-Jam charging to the next. Soldiers called out, trying to block their way. June worked with Nathan to keep their path clear and they reached the second tank with ease.
They performed the same tactic on the second, and then the third tank. By this time June was feeling the effects of straining her power. She felt like she ran a marathon while competing in a taxing quiz show. She looked over and saw Nathan straining as well. "Nathan and I can't clear a path and stop the tank, we're running out of energy." She informed.
"Okay, give us a path and I'll take care of it," Alex said. Nodding, June focused on keeping the area clear as they reached the final tank. It hadn't fired since the second tank had been destroyed. Now she saw why. The tank was charging up its next attack, the light almost blinding her as they moved forward.
June watched Alex pull Chonkers and Sir Purrsalot out of her bag. Alex whispered, "Catalyst." On Sir Purrsalot and made to throw Chonkers. "Catapult!" She yelled and the nanocat shot off. For a second June thought they had made it, the cat impacted through the side of the vehicle. The tank shook as the heavyweight cat punched through metal and electronics. But then the tank fired and light like the sun fired towards the dome.
"No!" June yelled.
She strained again, putting all her will into stopping the shot. She didn't know how much more the barriers could take. Her vision tunneled, all focus on stopping the beam. Sound disappeared but she heard a distant cry from Nathan. "Caleb, get in front of it!"
She stopped feeling her limbs and the edges of her vision blackened. She strained harder, the darkness seeping closer. The beam had slowed, but it was light. Light wasn't known to be lazy. She pushed harder, every inch of her body forcing the beam to slow. At some point, she had fallen to her knees, but she still pushed. The beam crawled, then stuttered forward, and then finally stopped completely. She breathed in relief. And then the darkness took her.

Natural Alchemist
Will is poor. This is a fact he does not like about himself. Even back at his home village he was considered poor, but poor in the big city means something completely different than poor in a small village... It means ten hour days of hard manual labor with barely enough money to survive, and poor living conditions. He's sick of it, and desperate for change. Perhaps that was what made him decide to spend such a large portion of his savings on a mysterious potion from that beggar... That, and it seemed so special when he held it. But ever since that day, he's been having the strangest dreams... And the work is really starting to take a toll on his body... Author's Note: I wasn't sure which mature content warnings I should put on this novel, as I'm pretty much pantsing the story. I'm putting them there mostly as a percaution, but also to not limit myself as to where the story can go. This is my first time writing and publishing anything substantial. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
8 82Tale of Tales
* Tale of Tales is a High/Epic Fantasy saga based on the motifs of ancient myths, legends, and forgotten fairytales * Senka is no hero, but you never know what is coming for you. And if that burns down your house and family, while you are left blinded by your house’s guardian snake, the outlook becomes grim. So Senka clings to her dog’s back to survive, unaware of the fateful prophecy and the great changes to come. But when a wandering warrior becomes her protector and mysterious strangers join their hounded party through a series of seemingly chance encounters, they all begin to discover that all is not as it seems. What is pursuing her? And why? Can the strange characters gathering around her on her desperate quest save her from doom? Are they mere puppets of a young, beguiling witch guided by her own hidden motives, or are forgotten shadows rising again from the immeasurable depths of time? A tale of folk fairytales and myths, of swords and sorcery and mythical beings – a unique story of dark times and unsung heroes who may light your way. Book one, A Strange Bunch, features leading characters of various ages. This is a fantasy with their progression happening slowly throughout the series, with occasional spikes in character power after certain encounters that may or may not be random. Although the book series is written with adult and young adult audiences in mind, it is, in the tradition of such epics as “The Lord of the Rings,” suitable for all ages. Excerpt from the scene depicted on the cover of the first book: “Above this hellish pack and the rider at the forefront, flurried a ghastly sight – a cloud of dark, endlessly bustling bodies and wings, a swarm of creatures that, through their almost infinite number, produced that great din which had first reached the ears…” RELEASE SCHEDULE is about once a week. The entire series should take around two and a half years of weekly chapter episodes, so do encourage me by reacting and following. Ratings are greatly appreciated!
