《Aris Cretu》Chapter 70: Brace for Impact
Advertisement
Aris Cretu nodded at the guard who was trying to get his attention, then casually ambled over to chat with him. "What news?"
"The Queen and the princesses will be making an appearance at the Fire Dance. Lord Wavethunder is making the arrangements for them to stay at the Convent with Little Bird. They will be arriving tomorrow. Assuming, that is, you have no objections Lord Trebor?"
Aris nodded casually, "none whatsoever. If there is anything Lord Wavethunder or Her Majesty needs that I can provide in this, it is theirs. Within reason, of course!"
The guarded nodded, bowed, and vanished into the crowd of people finishing the preparations for the fair.
Aris stretched, and headed off to his next appointment; something about ensuring that there were enough drummers for the dance...
Aflia Cencin blinked away the after effects of the teleportation, then slowly raised her hands, "Ilelahne, where exactly did you teleport us...?"
Ilelahne shrugged and eyed at the guard, "the only safe teleportation circle in Trebor. I didn't know it was reserved or anything."
"But where did you teleport us?"
"Guest quarters of a convent, I think. Quite secure ones too."
The tromp of boots on wooden flooring heralded the arrival of more guards
Aflia rolled her eyes, "I can guess who is in residence then, if you'd like. Her Majesty, Queen Shallahai of Althiem, with guests. Too many royal guards for just a personal visit."
A young elf poked her head out of a doorway, "miss Cencin, when did you grow wings? Can I grow them too?"
The guards relaxed slightly when one of the 'intruders' was identified and vouched for. An officer stepped forward with polite questions, and the rest of Aflia's afternoon vanished into bureaucratic red tape.

Apocalypse Wow
If you are reading this you have lost your memory. Again. You dumb jerk. I have no interest in writing our life story - it’ll come back to you. For now, this is what’s up: 1. We are looking for a god named Tiger. 2. He can stop the apocalypse, but apparently does not know that. 3. If the apocalypse is ongoing, we haven't told him yet. Also, we believe that life is absurd, loving relationships make it worth living, and it's best to be our true self. Love Copycat (that’s our name dummy) What would happen if everyone had god-like powers? It’s gonna happen someday, we should plan for it. That’s what this book is for. Cheers!

However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence. Then one day, a drug addled elf comes into infirmary and changes his perspective of a friend and puts his knowledge to the tests to figure out a mystery effecting children in town. *Spoiler warning* Kiao's POV- Kiao spent most of her time in the infirmary living the same daily secret filled life and until Mien changed it. Now she has to figure out her future in ways she never thought she would. I'm going for a Tues and Thurs day schedule for the re-upload. I may or may not stick in extra days.
