Marin PoV
We got to the ruined town. It was so dusty, and crumbled. It already looked like lot’s of years had passed since its fall if grass and trees were growing from the rubble... BUT IT WAS JUST A DAY AGO!
We arrived at the ruins rather easily. It had some vines already appearing here and there… I use my cell phone to get some pics. Having a recharger near you at all times is so good! The boys were running like they were only 5 and looked happy. Well, it's in a place like this where we don't have any strange people near us that Hysterya shows how he really is.
I was sitting on a relatively good place. Two walls blocked the sunlight and a chair had been left as it was despite all the destruction. I sat on it while I waited for the boys finish their “treasure hunt”. It is obvious that this place wouldn’t be left alone for long, in a city like this one we could probably be able to find lots of treasure. Like some gold or jewels! It was then I understand why they were so excited. The person that did this to the city wasn’t an army, it looked more like someone that wanted to show their power rather than invade or plunder.
Do you think a powerful being would look for gold or jewels in this mess? Probably not! So it’s a chance to us to find what we can before the greedy humans learn about it! I talk to the girls about what I had thought and we start to help the boys. It was a refreshing feeling!
“Marin! I think I found a crown! Help me move this thing here!” Gonya said with a happy voice. She is so excited with the idea of hidden treasures that she started to talk by herself.

“OKAY!” What she had found was a shelf that had fallen over. It had been crushed by a stone but it had some intact books, and a small gold thing poking out for underneath on the floor. “I think we will need help to move this thing…” We made a rule, we aren’t going to use magic. If we use it it would be pointless and we wouldn’t be as happy after getting our treasures.
“Lakuen! Havok! Help us to move this stone! It’s heavy and if we move it by ourselves we will break the laws about using magic!” I shout to them. They came quickly. Everyone was smiling.
“We should do stuff like this more.” Treor “It’s really funny.” And Trui say, appearing near me. They had gathered some things already. Some small stamps, books, pencils, and some gears.
“Where did you guys find the gears?” I asked them while Havok and Lakuen were helping Gonya.
““We found it here and there!”” They pointed to all directions. It was confusing to ask things like that to them anyway. It was then that we heard Gonya’s scream.
“AAAAAAAAAHHH!” We look to her and what we find near her is a crown that would fit a king with lots of jewels, but also full of dents. But near it were the bodies of two kids, a boy and a girl.
They had been crushed by the debris but it was easy to see how they died. The girl’s eyes had been pierced through and the boy’s head didn’t exist anymore…
“Who would do such a thing to kids like these?” Havok asked to no one.
“It’s probably related to that mad laughing I heard yesterday.” Remarked our cute Gonya. She was a little pale but she was okay now.
“Did someone find any other bodies like these two?” They all shook their heads. “Let me change the question, has anyone found ANOTHER body?” They all nodded. I myself had found some bodies, but they all looked more okay in a war situation…
“Yeah! I found it!” Hysterya shouted from somewhere. We all shake our heads leaving the bodies and books.
“What did you found Hy-kun?” I asked when I found him.
“Look at this! It wasn’t created by human or demon hands!” He had one of the gears like the twins had already gathered. “You can perfectly see that they were created in some kind of factory to be this perfect!” Ah… his switch flipped… “Look, if you guys found any other gear like this one, show it to me. If we gather a good amount we could probably sell them for a good price! Or use them to create a gigantic robot!”

I chopped his head with my hand. “Hy-kun. Stop already!” He put his hands on his head and looks to me with sad eyes. “We already gathered some of them.” he was opening his mouth to say something, but I lifted my hand and he stopped. “Let me finish, you good-for-nothing Demon Lord.” I breath a little before continuing. “We found some of the gears, the Twins found them in some places and I put them all in my ring. I will let you look at them tonight.” He had a happy smile when I said that he would be able to see them. “So let’s continue the hunt!”
“YEAH!” Everyone shouted and scattered.
That night we decided to sleep in one of the houses that hadn’t totally collapsed yet. But Lakuen reinforced the walls just to make it sure it will not fall.
“Show us everything we got!” Shining eyes were looking to me. I hadn’t stopped to look, but I was weaker than them so I couldn’t move some of the things and would ask for help.
“Calm down a little. I’m going to take it out. I don’t know how much we gathered here anyway.”
I take out everything we got. It formed piles! Several piles! Gold, silver and jewels! Sadly they were all dented or broken… it was nothing like that we cared about, but the sheer quantity of things was astounding.
We all had held our breath at seeing the scene before our eyes.
“We are RICH!!!” Freyki say while he jumps in one the piles. We started to laugh at his manners. He was acting like a kid!
But everyone did the same, so no one can blame him! After some playtime with the treasure I get the gears out and give them to Hy-kun. His eyes were shining.
“Thanks Marin!” He kisses my cheek and sits down to fiddle with them...
My brain shut down as I continuously replay the scene of the kiss just now… ‘WAWAWAWAWAWAWAWA...’
“He” Trui start.
“kissed” Treo continued.
““HER!”” They say together!
I should kill this stupid duo already!
“Oh, he finally did it?” Havok looked at me with a smirk in his face.
“Nah, it was on her cheek!” Reter replied back.
“Yeah… I wanted a pic of their first kiss…” Jink said… ‘Et tu brutus!’
“And yet said person is in his own world playing with some gears…” Lakuen look at me with pity in her eyes.
“Marin.” I look at Gonya. “Fight!” For some reason I could see pompoms on her hands.
“All of you… Leave me alone!” I said while I sit without any power in my legs.
“I think we toyed a little too much with her…” Freyki said… They all smiled wryly and go to do their own things.
“Stupid… You could have chosen a better place to do that… Stupid.” I use my feet to touch Hy-kun’s back. He just look at me and beam a smile and go back to fiddle the gears…
‘They should just explode!’ I wrote on the ground. Then the gears in Hy-kun’s hand explode…
When he looked to me… His face… it was completely black! “Ahahaha!” I point at him. “*Giggle*Your face *giggle* is black! *giggle*”
“And whose fault is that?” He looks at the ground and sees what I had wrote… ‘Ah shit! I didn’t write that in my book!’
“I can explain!” He then throws a mud ball in my face.
“Kahahaha! Perfect!” He said while looking at me. I got up and with all my power I shout!
“MUD WAR!”
That night we all had to take another bath before going to sleep.
The next morning we got up and looked around to see what else we could find. It was then Lakuen found one thing.
“I found some strange markings. It looks like they were made from some really heavy thing compressing the ground.” Hy-kun’s eyes shined… I know that look…
““We’re going to follow the markings!”” I said with him. He looked at me and we all laughed. I know him more than they would ever know… Probably.
And we mounted our birds to run to our unknown destination.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
