《The Epic of Gaia》Chapter 16.5: Visions

“ISHMAEL WHERE ARE YOU?”
I said as called out in the woods.
Soon, he came running and stopped right in front of me.
“Here I am Gia”
“Good I need your help”
“Oh, what is it? Do you want to spar with me again?”
He said rather enthusiastically.
I couldn’t help but smile and ruffle his hair.
“Haha, didn’t we do that this morning?”
“Yea but you weren’t being serious”
Ishmael said with a frown on his face.
“Tell you what, we can practice again after you come with me into town”
“. . . fine”
We walked on the path to town and started to chat.
“I noticed you don’t play the other kids a lot”
“Hm? Oh, yea I don’t really care about them”
“Aren’t you lonely?”
“. . . It’s alright, I have you . . and dad of course”
Ismael hurriedly turned his face away, but I could tell he was embarrassed.
“Aww how sweet hehe”
I went right for a hug and he struggled to get away.
“Giiiiaaa, stop treating me like a kid”
He said with a hint of red on his face.
“Oh, okay I won’t tease you anymore”
“. .I didn’t say I disliked it”
“What was that?”
“NOTHING. Let’s just hurry, I’ve been practicing in the woods. I’ll beat you this time”
It took a little bit, but by now the towns folk got use to my green hair and yellow eyes.
I never answered questions about my past, only offering some information on it on my own terms.
But I hear the rumor going around was that I was a noble from a fallen kingdom, possibly even a princess.
That was a funny thought, but dad did tell us that great grandfather was a ruler of a continent.
. . . . Before he was deposed and all the elder dragons decided to seclude themselves.

We went to the usual places to shop and got through my list quickly.
Soon we had all I wanted and prepared to walk back.
“Need any help?”
I said to Ishmael as I saw him struggle with a sack.
I was carrying two large woven bags in my arms, but I could probably handle his sack as well.
“Nope”
Someday, he’ll learn to depend on others. . hopefully.
"Suit yourself then"
With that we started to walk outside of town when . . .
“Wait”
I said suddenly as I tapped Ismael’s shoulder with mine.
“?”
WHOOOOSH
A rock came whizzing by our heads.
“RUN”
We turned back and saw five kids running away.
Ishmael dropped the sack and started run after them.
“Stop!”
“But—“
Suddenly the three boys and two girls “mistakenly” tripped over some rocks and fell down.
“OWW” “OMMPHH” “AHHH” “OUCH” “UGH”
“Gia, . . . what---?”
Ishmael said as he turned to me with a surprised look.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
I said as I started to walk away.
“Didn’t you use to play with them?”
I watched Ismael as he faced the ground.
“Yea, but I think training is more important now. I can’t just be playing around with them”
“heh pretty soon you’ll outgrow me, too right?”
“. . .”
“Ishmael?”
He suddenly looked me in the eye and made a declaration.
“I’ll make you recognize me one day Gia”
“Eh? Hahaha”
He frowned.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing, you just looked so serious. It’s a far contrast than from the boy I flipped over this morning”
“T. That was, I’m ready now”
“Uh-huh. Catch up if you can!”
I said as I suddenly started to run.
“WAIT!”
Ten minutes later. . .
“Ugh”
Ishmael collapsed in front of the house just as I finished putting my things away.

“Here”
I threw Ishmael a fruit and took his sack inside.
MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH
“That was only a warm up, ready to spar yet?”
I grinned at him as he hungrily devoured the fruit.
GROWL
“Uh I can get some more food first?”
“Hahaha, sure I’ll prepare dinner. Master should be coming back soon anyways”
With Ishmael’s help, I prepared some stew for us that night.
When the stew was done, and being kept warm by the fire, I questioned Ishmael.
“ . . So why did that girl shoot a glare at me?”
“What?”
Ishmael quizzically looked at me.
“She looked pretty angry”
“Oh. . . that. Yea, I told them I had better things to do than to hang out with them”
“And she didn’t take it well?”
I turned to him with crossed arms.
“I . may have said some other things too”
I frowned and approached Ishmael.
THUMP
“Oww, my head!”
“You idiot, you should go apologize to them”
“NOPE!”
“Ugh, fine at least think about it then?”
Ishmael seemed set on not apologizing but getting him to compromise a little was fine.
“. . .”
“I’ll ignore you until you apologize then”
“!!! . . . I’ll think about it then but no guarantees”
“Good enough. Oh, I think Master’s back”
"Huh?"
Soon we heard the familiar footsteps of Master as he came in to the yard.
“Ishmael, Gia, I’m home”
“Dad” “Master”
“”Welcome back””
My master was in his late 30s, and currently had grown a beard.
Dark hair and eyes just like most people, and no noticeable traits of being related to nobility.
But he was extremely talented at the sword.
So much so that he became known as the “Crimson Tiger” after many a battle fought for his country.
I heard of his skills as I wandered this land initially and came to the conclusion that I would need them.
The humans managed to capture me and I have yet to know what they are truly capable of.
I heard humanity’s strongest were called “heroes”, so I sought the tutelage of one.
I don’t know why he came to this village with his son.
All that is clear is that he left after his wife died.
But we came to a silent understanding of not prying in to each other’s past.
“Here, dinner”
I smiled as I placed Master’s bowl at his place on the table.
“Thank you, it looks good”
He took his place at the table and we all started to eat.
We chatted for a while about random things until . . .
“ARAM! GET OUT HERE!”
An angry voice shouted from outside the home.
Ishmael looked his father.
“Dad what’s wrong?”
“Stay in here”
Master got up and walked outside.

The Dao of Magic
Here I am, sitting on a mountain so far away from civilisation it might as well be the godforsaken arse of the world, about to ascend. Can't wait to leave this crapfest of a planet... Turns out that the higher ups decided that an unaffiliated rogue like me is too big of a risk to let run around free. Seems like this entire cultivation world is a late stage capitalist money making machine for the powers that be in the higher realms, and me stealing the good loot in front of their descendants and sect disciples noses finally pissed them off enough to take action. First, they sent all the sect masters and hidden dao protectors to off me - which failed, obviously. Heh, afterwards they simply bitch slapped me out of their universe though. That is interesting and all, but I just woke up in a valley watching some critters murder each other while trying not to freak out about how bad it smells here.Soo… where the fuck am I?

The Youngest Divinity
The continent of Vaine is a place of technological and magical might. It is the pinnacle of human brilliance, and is more powerful than it has ever been—truly approaching a never-before-seen golden age of magic. But what if that was all a lie? Dominic, shipwrecked and confused, wakes up one day on the shore of a continent which shouldn't be there. No maps in Vaine show it; no sailors have ever reached it; as far as anybody knows, the continent of Hesia does not and has never existed. In the last thousand years, no one has left, and no one has made it in. And on this hidden continent, he finds demons—a race of people who are far more adept at magic than humans. As Dominic uncovers the lost history of the two lands, he must come face to face with kings, mages, gods, and the dark past of the most powerful organization in Vaine, which has long done everything it possibly could to keep those skeletons buried. And they're not the only ones who can keep a secret. YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS IF: ↠ You like long-running fantasy stories with an intrigue/mystery focus. The world is vast and full of secrets—and our main character is not one to tell. Be careful what you believe, because Dominic himself might be the one lying to you. ↠ You enjoy decisive protagonists that don't have qualms about what tactics solving some problems may require. ↠ You like dragons. I like dragons. By the gods, there will be dragons. AUTHOR'S NOTES: ↠ This is not a webtoon. I only draw illustrated chapters for the prologues to each book and for the side stories at the end of each book. All drawings including covers are done by me. ↠ Release schedule is 2 chapters per week, every Wednesday and Saturday at 3:15PM CST. ↠ Up to 8 advanced chapters (4 weeks of releases) are available on Patreon. Thank you for your support. :)

Forbidden Destiny
Two troubled teens, raised as siblings, try fighting their attraction to one another, while struggling to uncover the truly unexplainable and unimaginable reasons why their entire lives were a lie. Sky and Star were raised as brother and sister. As they got older they began to realize that there was much about them that was completely unexplainable and deliberately being hidden from them. Struggling with the feelings they were raised to believe they shouldn't have for one another, and all the pain that causes them, the two search desperately to uncover the truth about who... or what they really are. (This book is completed, so the plan was to post 1 chapter each day until the end) *This story does deal with difficult issues such as suicide, abuse and rape. Though I try to do so in the most realistic, sensitive and sympathetic way possible. So be advised that these themes are included in the book. And I hope you'll give it a chance nonetheless.* *Yet another disclaimer: Yes, there are teenagers involved in consensual sexual relationships with other teenagers in this book. Which is also a more than common occurence in hundreds of other books, shows and films, (not to mention a common occurence in real life, even though this is a fantasy story with characters who may or may not even be fully human), so if you have a problem with troubled teens behaving like troubled teens, then you probably shouldn't read this book.*
