《The Reaver (hiatus)》Chapter 3 A Bear of a Time
Advertisement
Vulpine what happened? (Bellator)
Master some people are attacking a caravan. (Vulpine)
Ok I’ll hurry up. (Bellator)
After what Vulpine said that to me I put on my cowl that was made out of vicious bear hide where the mouth was covering the top and sides of my face and the giant fangs obscured the rest of my face. I did not have enough time to put on my leather chest piece and armguards but I had my leg guards and shoes on already. So I was to wearing my leg guards above my pants while my chest and stomach was exposed (AN. 6 pack of abs) were exposed showing them filled with scars from my previous battles. By the way a vicious bear is 10 feet (AN. 3 Meters) tall on its hind legs.
Ok let’s go. (Bellator)
Ok get on. (Vulpine)
Before I went on vulpine I grab my bag that had things I’m planning to sell and my pouch of money. The denominations are 100 copper = 1 big copper coins, 100 big copper = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold, and 100 gold = 1 platinum. As a reference 1 gold coin can buy you a good magical sword or live a good life for a year. As I rode Vulpine I thought I might be mistrustful of other living beings beside Vulpine but, I can’t leave people to die when I could have done something.
When we made I told vulpine to stay in the bushes what I saw was 1 carriage and 2 wagons while the carriage was in the middle. The guards are having a tough time with the bandits because, they cannot fight properly. The Archers in the foliage are pinning them down while the vanguard are hacking away at the guards’ shields. There are 7 guards and around 30 bandits so the guards were at a disadvantage. I need to hurry up one of the guards are kneeling. I touch the ground and compress the earth and pull out a tower shield I repeat this process and make a bastard sword they are rough around the edges and most people can’t carry both these things at once. After this thought I dash into battle.
Sherry Perspective
We are a party at the adventure guild are party consist of 7 people Me a Knight, Bob a Paladin, Gannet a Archer, Jose a Defender, Lance a Knight, Chris the magician, and Victor the thief/knight (AN. He wears leather armor and has a shield and sword.) We are a D-Rank party we been a party for two years already so we know each other personality pretty well. The job we took was a C-ranked mission to escort a caravan through a Dark Forest the forest is a C-Ranked place with little B-Ranked and even fewer A-Ranked monsters around. As we were departing in the middle of the 5 day trip we were attacked by bandits. These bandits were smart they had archers hiding in the forest and the rest were vanguard we had a tough time we couldn’t even attack without being berated by arrows. After 20 minutes we were all tired the first one to be knocked down was Chris we knew he was going to die because we are too preoccupied with the other bandits.

Wha!?!? (Everyone)
A dark figure rushes in and smashes into the bandits and use a brown shield to protect Chris. Then the figure swings his giant brown sword and crushes 3 bandits killing them. Both sides are really shocked then he throws something at Chris that’s panting it land in front of him. Then we get a good look at the figure he is taller than all of us and he is wearing a cowl that covers his face all down his back until the back of his legs. Then he crouches and touches the ground and creates a wall in front of us. The last we see of him is him standing up ready to have a fight.
Bellator Perspective
I made it in the neck of time to save one of the guards then I made a wall to protect them. I use my tower shield to block the arrows coming my way. A bandit that I assume is the leader says.
Kill this bastard and get past this wall. (Bandit Leader?)
I place my sword against the wall and crouch and touch the floor I make a javelin and then toss it through the crowd aiming at the assumed bandit leader. I Impale 1 of the bandits and the assumed leader impaling both of them and pinning them on a tree. I pick up my weapon then charge in the process knocking a bandit down. I swung my sword crushing 4 of them the archers are shooting a round of arrows while I’m bashing a bandit with my shield I use my cowl to block the arrows. I feel the impact of the arrows but it doesn’t pierce the hide. I proceed to bash and crush the rest of the bandits. The bandit archers are still alive so I do what any sane man does I crouch and make more javelins killing the archers. This took about 7 minutes to kill the bandits. The assumed bandit leader is still alive though but, not for a long time. I force my earth wall back into the ground and I face the guards with my bloody weapons unsurprisingly I have a little blood on me. What they do surprise me though.
Perspective Change Sherry *8 minutes ago
When I saw the man I thought he had a death wish but, he probably bought us some time with his death and wall. Me and Bob check up on Chris he has a nasty gash in his arm. I walk over to the vial the man threw and identified it.

*Small Good Healing Potion
*Effect heals wounds rapidly.
I was shocked this item is very expensive even though it’s a small one it’s worth 4 Silver. I show it my friends.
Hey look at what I found. (Sherry)
What? (Bob)
*Passes it to Bob
Holy Hell it’s a potion! We better save this. (Bob)
While we are readying for the bandits to go around the wall we here a crunching sound then screaming. We stand there brandishing our weapons but, hear it again. We do this for 5 minutes waiting until we hear a strong whooshing sound about 7 times. We get ready to fight but, the wall started receding into the ground until we see a looming figure with his faced covered by the giant teeth of the bear mouth. The eyes under the hood was changing color. He also was carrying bloody weapons it’s the man that saved us. Gannet must of freaked out because, she unleashed an arrow from her bow with an *EEEP. The man blocked it with the tower shield in his left hand. We were
readying to fight him but, he said in a deep voice.
Don’t fight me help. (???)
Why should we trust you (Gannet)
I drop weapons. (???)
Surprisingly he did what he said and dropped his weapons. Also, he seems kind of dumb.
I leave now. (???)
At least tell us your name. (Chris)
Name is Bellator bye. (Bellator)
Wait! (???)
Bellator looks at the person stepping out of the carriage it’s our contractor the Elf Elder Trinity she looks about 25 and has a nice hourglass figure with big breast and long flowing blond hair.
We can at least offer you a reward for helping us. (Trinity)
He thinks for a while then he says his answer.
Me fine. (Bellator)
He starts walking away without even asking for a reward.
Wait! We can at least offer you something. (Trinity)
Fine. (Bellator)
He thinks and then he stick out his palm and hit it with the top of his hand.
Me ride in wagon to next town need supplies. (Bellator)
My inter party and I including the elder are shocked just asking for a ride to the town we are going to anyways.
*Giggle (Trinity)
My party is even more shocked the elder people call a cold rose actually giggled.
Then me and my party notice the carnage behind Bellator the bodies of the bandits look like meaty past and what we assume is the archers are impaled by earth javelins. Are eyes follow Bellator that is walking to the wagon then turns around and Whistles.
*Whistle
What we see shocks us even including the elder a wolf the size of a bear bolts and tackles Bellator. We pull out are weapons to help Bellator but, the elder stops us.
Look (Trinity)
The wolf that we assumed was mauling Bellator is actually licking him.
Down Vulpine. (Bellator)
What we hear shocks us again even the elder seems baffled.
But, Master I was worried. (Vulpine)
The elder looks like she wants to say something but Bellator answers it before she asks.
Vulpine Wolf Spirit (Bellator)
We can only sigh this person defied logic even more. Bellator jumps on Vulpine then she walks next to the caravan. For the rest of the day we are on edge.
(AN. I’m making Bellator speak like that so, he can see people true color)

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?

In The Maw Of The Gods
Synopsis Lilly Harper was always the type to keep to herself. She struggled to make friendships and so, she simply opted not to. That was why moving to the coastal town of Wilham didn’t bother her. She wasn’t leaving anybody behind and she certainly didn’t expect to be making any friends any time soon. However, when she starts hearing about the school’s “Magic Club”—a group of weirdos who claim that magic is real, she can’t deny that she’s slightly intrigued. Then without warning, she suddenly finds herself wrapped up with them. And what if they aren’t crazy? What if magic is actually real? And what if it’s because of that magic that something more powerful than they could ever conceive of is drawn to Wilham? I plan to follow a release schedule of Tuesday/Friday. Average chapter length will be 4,000 to 6,000 words and I will be using multiple POV's quite often. Also to note, while I am flagging the story with content warnings, I am only doing so because there are specific moments where it will be needed. Overall, the story will be relatively tame and I plan to put extra warnings at the beginning of chapters that it applies to. Thank you to everybody who decides to give my story a chance and I hope you enjoy it!
