“As promised here are some ropes and a potion that will make the cold go away for a while”
The old woman went back to her chair and we left the hut.
“Well guess that settles that, I am ready are you guys?” Elisa was really eager.
“How you holding up Cortez?” He is bent over like he is about to puke.
“Lets watch our step over by the cliff, it should be really slippery, we don’t want to fall to our death right?” Cortez almost pukes.
“Cmn Elisa, don’t be like that” Elisa saw that she went a bit overboard.
“Sorry, I will stop now.” Cortez puts his thumb up as he tries to catch his breath.
“Cortez, lets strap ourselves in ok? Make sure that knot is tight!” We all made the right adjustments.
“Drink it, Elisa!” She drank her potion and she jumped in the air once, she slowly flew down, we almost had to drag her down.
“You guys ready?” Cortez was trying his best to keep it together.
“Lets get this over with! Sky, you ready?”
“Lets do it!” I slapped my face a bit to get more ready.
“Wait wait! I just realized something, Cortez get over here!” I summoned Cortez to me.
I hugged him.
“W-What are you doing?!” Cortez tried to get away.
“If we just jump out we will be slammed right into each other! Think of the momentum. Elisa will be still above us and the ropes will automatically go straight down, meaning we will be slammed into each other, so we jump together!
“Here we GO! Yahooooo!” Elisa yelled!
Cortex and I jumped right after.
I could feel my stomach being sucked in by the drop, but we quickly slowed down because of Elisa.

“I have never been this safe in a mans arm before, thank you Sky!” his nose was sniffing as he was crying a little.
We slowed down as started levitating down.
“Don’t look down, Cortez!” Elisa smiled.
“Seriously don’t look down, look at me!” Cortez looked me straight in the eyes, I have never seen anyone that afraid in a long time!
“Sky, hold me!”
“Ok big guy, calm down, just close your eyes and think of something nice, like---“ Elisa stopped me mid sentence.
“Pineapple! Think of that!” We both were puzzled.
“Why the hell would he think of that? How can that help in anyway?”
“I don’t know, works for me!”
“You think about pineapples when your afraid? Why?”
“Well it all started when---“
“Yeah, just forget I asked please.”
“Its actually helping!” Cortez was trying hard to keep his eyes close.
“P-pineapple of all things? Well whatever works buddy”
Down at the hillside.
“I see someone floating down! This is our chance!” Raul was aiming.
“What really?” Odin ran over to Raul.
“I can get a clean shot from here!”
“Raul, wait, we shouldn’t be doing this! Those are lives!” Odin tried to stop him.
“Get off me!” Raul shot the arrow and hit Elisa in the stomach!
The arrow hit the rope that was tied to Cortez and it snapped
“Cortez!!!” Those eyes were something I hope I never see again, it was like I was looking into a dead mans eyes. I could see him falling over a big icy field.
“Elisa you alright?!” She didn’t answer and we were falling down fast as well, we started rotating around in circles insanely fast before I managed to cut the rope.

I flew away so fast I couldn’t position myself in the air I was aimlessly going round and round as I hit a tree filled with snow, I wasn’t badly damaged because of the snow pillow. I could still see my party.
Cortez was alive, but Elisa was badly injured and unconscious.
“Cortez can you hear me? How you holding up?! Cortez!” It was silent for a second, but then he started talking, barely.
“Holy shit! That is the last time I will think of pineapple in a dire situation!” he was breathing heavily and stuttering.
“What happened to you? I can see the frost debuff, but you didn’t lose that much health? How did you pull that off?” He was catching his breath.
“ As I fell I drew the bow and shot the ice beneath me to pieces with one shot, then I was sucked away with the current under the ice before I managed to break through and that was like 10 seconds ago, wow I am cold!” I could hear the shivering in his teeth.
“Drink the potion we got from the old lady it should help!”
“Good call.” He drank the potion and the debuff disappeared.
“Who shot us down? I want a piece of them! I can probably track them down with my tracking gear.” He switched gear.
“We should get to Elisa first, she is badly hurt, unconscious and moving?”
“What is going on?” Cortez was confused.
“Someone is trying to kidnap Elisa! Not on my watch, lets go Cortez!”
Cortez changed his sniper gear because it was wet.
“Odin let’s go!” Raul ran out of the cave.
“H-hey wait up!” Odin followed.
“I cant wait to see what kind of gear they had, finally!” Raul reached the location where Cortez fell, Odin caught up.
“Where is he?” after searching around, Cortez could not be found.
“Look over there” There was a hole in the ice.
“He probably pierced the ice and got sucked forward by the stream.”
“Lets follow it” Raul lead the way.
“Look over there!” Odin noticed an ice crack where Cortez had managed to escape from.
Odin and Raul checks it out.
“You can clearly see that he got up here and went that way, he can’t have gotten far!”
The snow was wet and trampled upon by Cortez.
“Where are we going?” Raul is the only one who can see the footsteps because of his tracking, even though its snow.
“I can see some feint footsteps leading towards the city, keep up Odin!”
“Tsk” Odin got mad.
Cortez and Sky met up at the location where Elisa landed.
“She has been dragged by a sled or something, Sky, follow me!”

Calamity Mandate
Beneath the peaceful surface of a nation, a conflict between royal factions and secret organizations is coming to a boil. Drawing upon esoteric energies, those with Exalted powers rule supreme as they fight to shape the world in their vision. Yuzu, a simple pawnshop owner's daughter finds herself in possession of a mysterious ornate chest that has the power to manipulate destiny. Her normal life in an asian influenced Victorian era changes dramatically as she gets plunged deep into a dangerous, mystical world filled with secret rituals, horrifying monsters and ancient gods.

She must develop her powers as an Exalted, find allies and unravel the mysteries that govern the course of history. The delicate balance that holds the nation in check has already been disrupted. How far will those ripples spread? - Author's Note - This story starts quite slowly, and takes until about Chapter 16 to get rolling. I wrote this to be the kind of story you can really get into, where the world and characters are fleshed out and when the action happens it makes sense and hits hard. Thank you for reading. Update Schedule: Every Wednesday and Sunday at 5PM PST (8PM EST)
8 5924Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.
