《Serpent girl Lily.》Chapter 14: how? Where?..... And who??

“hmmmm… that’s a strange new being. It feels very different from the ones that live around my little home. it’s very weak, I doubt it will reach here alive. But I want to see this being….”
Heed the call of your goddess, and by my will, I force you into existence.
“go seek out this small and weak creature, guide it here and make sure it survives, that is my will and the law that you live by”
I watch as the tiny winged black snake fly off towards the strange being that is moving towards my home, a little lonely as it was the first company I had since by birth.

The weeks after Comrozz stopped due to the other Mythic beast moved slowly, Aura could not help but think about the upcoming battle between the kings and Comrozz. She couldn’t even begin to imagen how powerful they truly were, and now she would soon be standing in the middle of a battlefield of such beings making war.
Aura had also reached the eighth level and would soon enter the ninth level, with the speed she had advanced over the past four months she knew it would be no problem to reach the sixth great realm before the grand tournament, that is as long as she survives the trip out of the forest of course.
“we are getting close are we not?” Aura asked, knowing they could reach the so-called heart anytime now.
“kraa yes! We will soon enter the dead lands a large area of land around the heart the so call kings forbid all from entering! But I will enter the very heart and make it my own! Soon I will rule these lands so stay awake little mortal so you can witness my might!” Comrozz replied proudly but Aura could also hear some excitement in his voice.

She had heard from him earlier, of how he long ago had been in the forest but had fought against the king of the south and lost and had to flee the forest. This had all happened a long time ago so very long that the angels and demons did not even exist yet, so she could understand why he would be excited to be back after what might have been hundreds of thousands of years or even more.
After a few more hours of flying, Comrozz once more stopped mid-air.
“kraa! There truly is nothing living in there” he said slowly looking ahead.
“what” Aura asked as she also looked ahead but saw nothing out of the ordinary.
“this is the border, for far longer than even I can see there is no living beings, nothing at all. That is by law of the kings, any who enters this land before us will die. But I no longer fear the kings, no soon I will become a king myself, the one true king!” as he said this he took off once more at full speed towards the sacred heart of the forest.
“kraa! I can see it! I can see the heart! Kraa! My throne I can see it!” Comrozz exclaimed loudly after flying for about an hour or two.
Hearing this Aura also looked ahead trying to see this so called heart, but all she saw was a sea of green. “really? Where is it I can’t see anything other than trees” she said being influenced by his excitement.
“kraa! Just ahead the small area with no large trees and silver like grass!” he answered, so excited he didn’t even try to uphold the image of a mighty magical beast of the Mythic realm.
Aura looked ahead trying to spot it, but she couldn’t make out the trees so had no hope to spot a place where they were missing. But after looking for a long time searching for anything that looked like silver, she saw a small silver glitter within the sea of green like a speck of gold in a desert.

“that’s it? I thought it would be bigger, grander, maybe something like a massive palace made of gemstone or something” Aura said a bit disappointed.
“kraa! Little mortal you just don’t understand, but soon you will. Kraa! Soon I will make you understand! Kraa! Kraa!”
Comrozz replied upon hearing Auras disappointed words.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly the large silver panther who had been laying unmoving for the last few weeks strung up as if the very earth had tried to devourer it.
This set the hundreds of nearby feline magical beasts all on guard as they turned to look towards their leader.
The large silver panther looked towards the north-east.
“someone have crossed the border and is headed straight for the Heart,” the silver panther said in a female voice.
Her words immediately brought great shock to all who heard them. After all, it had only been a bit more than a year since the disturbance, and all who lived within the deep forest had been told to stay far away from the dead lands.
After speaking those words, the silver panther turned into a blur and was gone the next instant.
Upon seeing this the rest of the feline magical beasts also all turned into blurs and was gone just as fast.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly after saying that Comrozz stopped again, this time, he looked towards the west, Aura even felt him shaking ever so slightly.
“Kraa! Kraa! This can’t be! hundreds of Mythic realm beasts all moving towards me!” Comrozz said shocked his voice trembling with fear.
FOOLISH BIRD! YOU DERE ATTEMPT TO ENTER THE HEART? YOU SHALL DIE BY THE HAND OF THIS KING! A voice thundered from the west.
Hearing this voice Comrozz shacked strongly for a moment Aura thought she would be shocked to dead but after that moment it stopped.
“i..i.. impossible that... there is a realm beyond the mythic realm?? No! this can’t be! kraa!” Aura heard Comrozz scream sounding mad.
It was at this moment Aura learned that he did not stop shaking but instead dropped her!
Aura screamed as she fell, but she couldn’t even hear her own screams!
She could do nothing as she watched the ground grow bigger and bigger. Her vision grew darker and darker and just before her vision turned back as unconsciousness took her, a small black shadowed entered the corner of a fading vision.

Slowly Aura regained consciousness, her head still groggy. As memories of her fall came back she could not help but get two questions. How did I survive? and where am I?
She slowly sat up and looked around, the first thing she saw was that the grass she was laying on was not green but silver. Aura looked closely at the grass. “this is silver crystal grass!” she said shocked! “a single strand of this is worth many thousands gold coins! And here is so much of it!” she said to herself completely forgotten all about the situation she is in.
“hallo” a single word was spoken in a voice so heavenly she could never compare too.
This voice woke Aura up from a near fevered dream of endless wealth.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
