《A curious cat's life in a new world》Fight with a Cockatrice
Advertisement
As the strong gust of wind slowly dissipated they saw a creature with sleek gray feathers perched on a branch of a plant that resembles the Kauri Tree. It's majestic red crown hanged to the side of it's head while it's razor sharp claws are clamped deep into the tree branch. In a moment it inhaled a full breath of air and puffed out it's chest as it menacingly glared towards the sky as if in defiance against the heavens. The proud beast stretched it's neck out, spread it's wings and widened it's stance before finally letting out a howl that resounded throughout the forest...
KOOOOOOOKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIYOOOOOOOOKKIIIYOOOOOOO!
Kale: "Not again... this is the n-th time that this cockatrice escaped the farm. Hey what are you thinking about little one did that scare you?"
Kale noticed that Airi hasn't been moving as it stared at the large flock of cockatrice gathered below the tree where the sleek brown cockatrice was perched.
Hen1: Cluck-cluck "Your majesty please grant us your gaze!"
Hen2: Cluuck! "Kyaa! So handsome!"
...
Airi: stomach growling (These are chicken. Chicken are my and mom's favorite. Mom makes food with chicken. Food means chicken nuggets... CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!!!!) gulp
Without thinking twice Airi immediately rushed towards the flock and slowed down to prowl as the cockatrice continued praising at the cockatrice on the tree.
Kale: "Hey what do you think you're doing!"
Kale's shout alerted the flock and the cockatrice atop the tree saw him. The confused hens began looking around nervously.
Hens: uuurkk? ("What's going on is the keeper here to take us all back again?")
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiyookk.("Don't worry it's just the Brownie from that exploding house.")
rustle rustle ... rustle ...
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiikkyoookk! ("You there get away from that maiden!")
Just as Airi had begun to pounce on a hen the cockatrice dove down from the tree and landed a kick on her and placed himself infront of the flock to block Airi's path.

Airi: growl ("Who are you? How dare you deprive me of my chicken nuggies!")
Majestic Cockatrice: Kkiiyuurrkk kkyoookk! ("I am the one who shan't stand idly by as you struck fear into the hearts of these fair maidens. My name is Prince, now back off vile creature into the pits of which you came from")
However as Prince stood inbetween the heartstruck flock and the hissing Airi with her claws clenching the ground he felt dread. Yet he still glared back courageously at Airi as he stood his ground. Prince thought to himself
Prince: (How did I get myself into this mess? Please just go away already I'm still too young and handsome to die!)

8 82Bloodlines
Bloodlines is the first major story set in the far larger and immensely connected universe known as Infinitum. A group of renegades and misfits take into the sky in their fancy skyship to fulfill the prophecy they don't care about and defeat the Empire they care even less about. In the process, they learn things (they would rather not) of the fucked up Universe, dead gods, and the future that holds no mercy. Bloodlines draws inspiration from One Piece. But in the bigger picture, Bloodlines is one of many stories set in Cosmere-like universe where plots stretch beyond planets and star systems and stakes are higher than godhood (like in Malazan chronicles). Currently, I am planning to finish the first arc [Bandit Arc], add 10k words interlude with some revelations, then publish a story happening elsewhere. Then I will be back to write the second arc. For now, the Fifth Region has 8 arcs planned. Officially, there are 5 regions. The Fifth Region is not the shortest but is far from the longest regions. - PS. Pay attention to flavor text. Chapters published weekly.
8 213Aegis: Welcome to the End of the Universe
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Bernard's life wasn't particularly great. Living on the razor's edge of poverty isn't a fun place to be. Being forced to compete for jobs that you are overqualified for, against others that are often just as overqualified, was almost humiliating. There had been plenty of times where he wished his luck was better, that he could stumble onto an opportunity that would allow him to finally succeed in life. Change and opportunity is rarely easy though, particularly if the change in question is a drastic alteration to the world as he knew it. When his chance finally arrived he learned just how true that old adage could be. Be careful what you wish for. Also, monkeys are evil.
