《Invictus》Chapter 3 - What's Missing
Advertisement
Yeah, hey peeps I tweaked chapter2.3 a little, little, my head hurts from all the mistakes, I can't you guys had to put up with that whatever, well without further ado here's Thalia, happy reading :D
-Love Author
==================================
We both walked down different paths diverging from 'The Tipsy Pig', The feeling in ny gut didn't feel better as us twins separate further and further away from each other, I jut couldn't help it, I wanted to see a glimpse of Leoth before I get through 5 days without him
For a few seconds I walked down my supposed road, vendors lined up on the sidewalk, their stalls filled with numerous goods, jewels and clothes and other stuff I'd want Leoth to buy for me, I wanted to spend more time with him, get to know more of what changed between us and laugh about how this separation thing feels weird
I turned around, hoping he would too, alas, all I saw was his back facing me as his figure running off to a sprint as he slowly faded away into the crowd, the feeling hurt, why couldn't we just be inseparable, if slicing our personality in half means we'll never see each other again, then I'd rather we stayed as the duo-personality Leoth that I've come to be and love
Behind me the road stretched so far ahead, like it wanted me to be the farthest to myself, the only good thing I see on this road is that a vendor's shop became popular just because of some woman earlier
Whatever...
Let's just get all this over with, the faster I complete my request, the quicker I'll get to see Leoth and visit him for his work, I trudge on further for a few minutes and what lay ahead of me was a tall tower, coincidentally there was a sign that hung above the door, a picture of a potion bottle with a rune written on the label, the tower was built mainly on cobble stone with a few mismatching bricks here and there, a single window near the peak hung open with smoke of different hues hissing out
I entered the tower, the door hit a bell with a chime, probably to let the owner know about guest or intruders, the place was rather cramped, a spiral staircase and some file cabinets that blocked the rest of the 1st floor giving only enough space for a person to wall from the front to to the stairs.
The second floor was a little more pleasant, it looked like a library, a few bookshelves that were arranged as a hexagon with a side missing, within it lay a coffee table, some bean bags and an iguana inside a glasstank

The third floor contained numerous cages, all covered by a white cloth, you could her various hisses, cackle, scratching and howls within each one, I kinda got scared and power-walked upstairs to to the next floor
A bedroom, quite plain just a doublesized bed, couch, coffeemaker and a separate room that looks like a bathroom, it had a lot of underwear hanging inside it, welp moving on
The 4th one was an office on one side, a desk with cluttered files and books, trashbin and bookshelf and on the other side was an alchemy lab, bottles, vials and pots, potions of different colors and then there was one potion that was a swirling mass of gold and silver in a bottle
I took it in my hands and kinda smelled it, a scent of oranges and maybe milk? it kind of reminds me of the time We tried to make hot chocolate but instead of actual chocolate we accidentally took and poured orange juice into the glass of milk, sigh* I miss Leoth, my vision slowly and surely turned pink, my balance wavered and caused me to stumble side by side, I wanted someone to keep me company, lets take more whiffs out of that silver and gold blend
"What the Fuck!"
A girl wearing an apron screamed, the basket she was holding was immediately set aside on the nearby desk, she ran toward me and yanked the orange-milk thing in my hand, I wondered whether it was Leoth cosplaying as a girl gardener, her face showed up in my view, silky smooth skin that would make any girl jealous, her lips soft and devilishly hot and eyes that would entrance any male
one word popped out of my dizzy mine
'Competition'
"I won't make her meet my Leoth!"
did I say that out loud?, no she would've reacted instead she's taking out some kind of syringe and stabbed me with it in neck
did I steal her boyfriend or something?
"Damn, She inhaled too much of the Pheromones, she's in a state of loveshock, only the person she's looking for could snap her out of the trance, the main problem is the symptoms never wear out until she meets him, hopefully the depressant in the syringe should calm her down so she doesn't go on a rampage hunt, plus she's probably the new recruit that accepted my flier"
the girl then took out a box like thing, I could feel magic being channeled ino the weird thing
"Note to self: Remember to install locks on the office door"

she then pocketed the thingy in her apron, then lifted me up and carry me
"Are you going to take me to Leoth?"
I hope she does, I kind of miss him already
the woman then snapped her fingers a few inches from my face, I got out of la-la land, it was hard to focus on something that isn't what you're looking for
"Hey! hey, listen to me, My name is Yura"
I could care less about her name, unless her name would happen to be Leoth
"I know of a way to get what you want!"
Did she mean Leoth!? how doe she know what I want?!, Is she using the Jedi mindtrick to get to me!?
"You have to help me with what I want, if you do you might be able to meet with that guy 'Leoth' that you were talking about"
OMG she knows his name!, I need to follow what she says and help her, but the pink flower things in my vision is kinda distracting me
*Yura's POV*
Hehehehehe I could use her symptom to my advantage, I could get her to do all kinds of experiments that I've wanted to do before, and as an added bonus I get to teach someone about the wonders of alchemy, she could share the trade!
Now it's time to seal the deal!
"Hey Girl!"
"... Thalia"
"OK, Thalia, I can make you beautiful so your Leoth guy friend would fall in love with you in a heartbeat"
Oh look her eyes are sparkling, I think I got her, hook, line and sinker HEHEHEHEHEHE
*Yura's POV END*
*Time Skip - 5 Days*
I'm done! the five days are done!, I get to see Leoth, he'll see the new skills I got and he'll praise me and pet me and hug me and rub my back and my tummy all I want MWA HAHA HAHAHA HA HAHAHAHA HAHA HAHA!
Now let me just finish these batch of liquid explosives for self-defense and for keeping away wolf bitches that try to steal my guy me away
A batch of Isopropyl Nitrate Fire Bottle? Check!, Extremely flammable liquid that burns with a nearly invisible flame though it is a low-sensitivity explosive, it's enough for me, Fill inside a glass bottle, cover mouth of the bottle with cloth, ignite cloth and throw onto unsuspecting man-stealer, It's that easy!
I asked Yura to teach me how to make landmines since she did say a tinkerer taught her and the end product is an Astrolite Land mine, powerful stuff, it goes out in a large bang and as an added plus it has low volatility, so leaving it in enemy territory of years doesn't make it null and void and still explode after all that, it is highly poisonous so if the explosion doesn't kill you, the poison will, I had to make this thing with a gas mask and an oxygen tank inside an air locked room so if it fails it wouldn't kill the townspeople
As a testrun I made an extremely mini-sized version of the Astrolite Landmine, with my favorite Homunculus 'Lab Rat', he's basically a white mouse, what's so special about him?
Wel--BOOM!, mice organs splattered about 'Lab rat' was no more... for now.
you could see clearly in the cooked rat meat that there was some slight bubbling and deteriorating on the flesh, it's the sign of the poison acting up, a success!
Whelp! time to wrap things up then
"Lab rat! time to regenerate, we need to go now!"
the scattered flesh started to twitch and roll closer and closer to what seems to be the heart, at first the body looked like a mass of burnt flesh mashed together, sinews started to sow and knit together the flesh, bristles of white fur grew at an extremely fat rate and he insisted on growing another tail, leaving the blown off tail to rot
..1
...2
......3
Voila!
He's good as new!, well no matter how many times I maim him, he still insists on following me, and as far as I can tell he isn't a raging hormonic male like Chet who I can vaguely remember
Everything's packed, doors are locked, Yura's asleep! and now Thalia will play!, Leoth here I come!
*Yura's POV*
"How cute, a 13 year old playing with explosive, aaaah~! I remember those days as a kid, especially the stink bomb in Darius' secret facility"
well seriously, she might even surpass me, I wish that Leoth guy wasn't protected by such a spoiled little sister figure then I'll be there pouncing on him, I remember a guy was waving at someone before bumping into me, coincidentally, that was Thalia and apparently that sweet guy was Leoth
"Wouldn't it be romantic to have a husband who's handsome, nice and someone I could experiment on, Aaaaah! the feeling down there gives me the shivers!"
Now that it's just me inside this tower, it's time to do sure pleasuring business, I've been holding back myself, and I can feel that I can't stop my urges
Aaaaaahnn~!

Julia Waits
The melting ice caps have let something out: a sound. A sound loud enough to be heard across the Pacific. It's called Julia, and it may be history's greatest discovery, but some songs are better unheard. Curiousity begs to be sated, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration work to find the source of this unusual sound, the team they put together to explore the southern pole find themselves in a struggle for survival that pits them against time, against each other, and against something that defies definition.
8 203Moonshot
Gregarious businessman Evin Tumble is fascinated by the sudden and inexplicable appearance of a low-orbiting moon. Specifically, he's interested in shooting it down with a giant cannon. The moon is only about eight miles overhead, but it's high enough and quick enough that nobody can reach it by balloon or airship. He hires our protagonists: taciturn Iseult Morrin, cheerful Sean Whelan, and nervous Íde Ceallaigh, to help him with his obsession. As our heroes are dispersed across the continent to perform tasks for Tumble, and the moon-hunt draws closer, they become increasingly suspicious of their benefactor's motives and true nature. Moonshot is a story centred around struggling with confidence, the difficulty of being an immigrant, and the duality of truth, all clad in the trappings of an urban fantasy. It is character-driven, from the heart, and based on tropes and ideas that are missing from a lot of contemporary fantasy (a push beyond the flawless-yet-somehow-still-needs-rescuing-by-an-oafish-man heroine trope, a touch of cosmic magic based on the shared geometries of Celtic and Arab art).
8 116Holmes: the case of dead man's sleep
Holmes has become bored with the lack of interesting cases. When Mr. Joey Deets sends Holmes a note asking him to look into a bizarre case of suicide at his company. Holmes is dying to accept the new challenge and a challenge it is, as both Cain and Holmes begin to suspect there's more to Scott Flout's death than just a really bad case of the Mondays.
8 242Nexus
Not a real reincarnation. Welcome to Nexus. A place where the multiverse intersects. Chris Garcia was trying to do the right thing for his sibling when he is shot and killed. Instead of his soul moving on to the next life. He is given another opportunity. Well of course he takes it. Or there will be no story. He gets some ability then dumped into the Nexus. He has much to learn, lucky for him, his ability brings him allies so he won’t die so quickly. (This is my attempt to improve my writing skill. Constuctive criticism are highly welcome) *Note: Some things will develop fast. Other will be a slow burner. Tags will be added as I progress the story. (Honestly, I have no idea where this story is going anymore). Please don't rate this story yet. Give me till 100 chapter to figure out what I'm doing haha. If I can simply entertain some of the readers, that's enough for me. Thanks for taking the time to read! I decide to not edit past chapters. Only touch up on grammers if I get around to it. I want to see the progression of my writing skill.
