《Blood and Bones》Chapter 1- Servant #1
Advertisement
The Dunes, a place devoid of any life and it's sands span for many miles and then some. During the days the temperatures reach upwards in the 120's and the nights grow as cold as -80's. It's one of the best places to be if you have a death wish, and currently there are 12 middle aged men wearing completely white clothing chasing a man in tattered blue cloth that barely covered his privates.
~P.O.V. Of Hesso~
We have been chasing this dirty exile for so long I have grown so bored. Although I'm only a lower squad commander in the lands of sorcery, it's still the lands which strike fear into all the other small kingdoms that constantly fight for borders. Any solder from within our lands has enough strength to rival a fairly large squad of soldiers of those kingdoms.
However now I, Hesso the sorcerer, who has transcended a mere mortal, have to now chase a wounded exile because an old lady foresaw some cataclysmic apocalypse mumbo jumbo! This is outrageous! Once I get back I'll give those geezers my wrath!
Alright! I'll do that ahahaha! Just you wait for me after I execute this exile, run a few missions, rise through the ranks I'll have all of those old things on their knees maybe even steal a few daughters for myself.
"Hahahaha, alright you stepping stone to my rise to fame submit yourself to me and I'll...."
----------------------------------------
Commander Hesso's grand speech was cut short by a what lay before his target and the perusers. In front of the thirteen men lay thousands of bones each perfectly white and strewn here and there. As the thirteen men looked closer the bones appeared to be human bones! However what made their hairs stand on end and made the grown men tremble, was that a eerie, sinister aura was being emitted from the very grounds the bones rested on.

Audibly clenching his teeth, the man in blue first overcame this oppressing feeling and sprinted off into the forrest of bones.
"H,hey! You idiots the target is getting away! If we lose him you all lose your heads!" Seeing his target run off Hesso's initial fear subsided and urged his men to run after their prey. After hearing their commander's aggravated words the men in white hurriedly began to chase after the man in blue.
"suul rah noct ah!" Following the slew of random sounds coming from two of the foremost men in white clothes, a black symbol painted onto their palms lit up and started to shine a deep iridescent blue. Then, a semi transparent prism shot out of both their plams from the symbol and connected to the prism was an equally transparent chain. The two prisms connected to chains flew to the man in blue as if both had a mind of their own. The two who had sent the chains stood there with their eyes closed and their arms outstretched and symbols on their plams still shining brightly. The man in blue who was still running for his life took a quick glance behind himself and grinded his teeth when he saw those two semi transparent chains flying at him. He hurriedly slapped the air in front of him and spat a few broken words inaudible to the chasers and a silvery-blue light shone in a peculiar shape, and then a thin sword about 2 feet in length patterned with 12 symbols that ran on the blade of the sword. The sword was the same color as the light that it cam out of and appeared to have no guard only a blade connected to a handle, and other than the symbols the sword has no other decorations. However, as soon as the man in blue pulled out the sword from a faint azure aura surrounded the man and his sword.

"azu sar grandiose!" After the man in blue yelled out these words, three symbols on the sword lit up and the azure aura started to get sucked into the shining shapes. The man then swung the sword at the incoming chains and an azure line burst out of the sword with a flash of light and smashed into the chains with a loud boom that shook the surroundings. The two men in white who sent out the chains suddenly fell down and seemed to faint.
"This... So i guess you're not just any exile, huh." The smile that held only contempt slowly disappeared from Hesso's face, and a serious expression revealed itself as he gazed at the azure aura around his target. As Hesso glanced at his easily dispached men who were lying on the ground motionless, his body began to emit a a dark green aura that looked to overwhelm the azure aura coming from the man. The grounds started to tremble as the two auras were so close to each other, and every so often the auras would touch and a sound as if an explosion took place.
Then, as if both auras were never there a formless, oppressive feeling spread out from the ground. Both sides faces grew pale as they tried to find a source.
"Great warrior, help me and I'll grant you my life for servitude!" The first to act was the man in blue clothes as he kneeled down and begged for salvation. The men in white were speachless; they had never seen someone who so abruptly gave up his dignity and bowed to another.
BooOOM
As if answering the man a loud explosion occured from the ground and dirt and sand flew everywhere concealing whatever appeared in a veil of earth.
"Hmmmm I'll think about it, but what makes so sure I'll make you servant #1 for the great me." A slightly childish voice came from the veil that answered the man. As everyone was quite confused the veil of earth slowly dispersed revealing a child in red rags with milky white skin,piercing red eyes, and grayish white hair. Everyone remained silent baffled by the presentation.

Fragments of Glass
before the 1939-1945 War, most churches in England had stained glass windows, but despite local people's best efforts many of these windows were smashed in the bombing. What could be repaired was repaired, but in many churches all they could do was reassemble the remaining fragments randomly, with extra bits of clear glass added to eke them out to fill the windows. That is what I imagined for my collection of short stories: fragments of stained glass, bits of robe, bits of faces, all sorts of odds and ends randomly stuck together. And with quite a lot of clear fragments among the coloured ones. Just broken pieces of stories that anyone can look through.
8 90Humanity? HELL YEAH!!
After the second rebranding of the entire world, the foreshadowing demands the world may end.But what happens afterwards?Of course everyone goes to hell. The story deals with happenings before, during and after the end of the world after the second rebranding.Mostly it will be about nerds and jocks tho and in a different tone than the Viable 2.
8 1222Monster? So be it,
Generic Monster Isekai story. Guy dies, meets a god, the entity says that he is willing to reincarnate him to a new world as a new creature, etc etc. The protagonist is an established serial killer on his past life so I'll probably make a grimdark setting or something. Idk
