《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 11: Two years time skip.
Advertisement
Two years went by quickly, Eagle now 16 had settled for a life as a loser. No girl wanted to go out with him although half the class by that time already had partners. He had, however, gained better control over his internal energy and is able to take command of his three animal friends much better. Jake and Tomi seems to be unseperable and so do Bart and Mads. Ann and her boyfriend were still going strong in their relationship as well and have planned their wedding in two years time. In other words, they both tied the knot early in life. The only thing that had not change was Bob's bad sleeping habits. He would stay up in the wee hours of the night playing video games and sleep the whole morning missing the assembly and lessons.
How did Eagle know all this? He is Bob's flat mate that is basically how he knows it. From time to time, Eagle would wake up in the middle of the knight to drink a cup of water or to go to the toilet only to catch Bob on his video games on his X box which would most likely be a versus game like Takken or Street Fighter as his computer games will be played in his personal room. Eagle had only been in Bob's room once and saw him play World of Warcraft, he eventually got bored and left his flatmate to his own devices. "Would you like to join me for a game of Street Fighter?" This would be Bob's question everytime Eagle came out briefly to do his business. "No thanks, its too late now".
Eagle knew that Bob would play his video games at night because Ann usually took over the tv during the day. It is a wonder that Bob's video games did not wake up the two of them. This is probably because Eagle is a deep sleeper. Ann on the other hand listens to her heavy metal on her i pad which is much louder while wearing ear phones and that drowns out the sound of Bob's video games.

"Hi Eagle, how is it going?" Eagle was once again greeted by Mads as he was came out of his unit at 9;00 a.m. ahead of Ann who was still in her room and Bob who had fallen asleep on the lounge for playing video games the whole night. Today it is the weekend and he had planned to go to the beach nearby as it was a sunny day only to bump into Mads who was already in her pink beachware.
"I can't seem to get away from you. Have you been stalking me as usual?"
"I your dreams but since it is a good weather, would you like to come with me to the beach?"
"That is exactly where I am heading. Where is Tomi?"
"She stayed over at Jake's unit and never came back that night". Mads walked a few steps closer before grabbing Eagle's right wrist with her left hand. "Let's get going".
The beach of Earthos which is the largest beach in the Kingdom of Earthos was only a hundred metres away was crowded and full of people. Therefore, it did not take the teenagers long to reach there. Eagle took off his shirt before taking his green towel out of his bag and laying on the ground using his bag as a pillow.
"I forgot my towel. Can I share yours?" asked Mads.
"Is that a pick up line?" Eagle tried to be sacarstic.
"You are so lame as usual". Mads pushed Eagle aside to make room for herself to share his towel. They were both actually lying under the sun like a couple. Mads lying on Eagle's chest probably stroked his ego at that moment. Eagle placed his left arm around Mads. "No touchy feely, I am dating Bart remember".

"Yeah right", Eagle thought to himself, "I feel like this nice guy who finishes last".
A memory came back to mind. "Don't think that Mads likes you just because she is being good to you. She is just using you either to make Bart jealouse or she just pities you. Not like Bart even cares as he has a life of his own. There is no way a loser like you could steal his girlfriend from him anytime soon".
"If that is the case why do you get so stirred up everytime I attempt to get close to Tomi?" Eagle smirked.
These words were what made him earn a beating from Jake and his friends which gave him bruises for two weeks. This incident happened exactly one year ago. "I never thought I had such a photographic memory".
"Are you alright, Eagle?" Mads who had fallen asleep woke up.
"Did I wake you up?"
"You certainly did, honey" Mads was playing with the strings of Eagle's heart which she had been doing for the past two years. "The upcoming dance party is coming. Hope you are ready. We really need to find you a girlfriend". She was still laying down on his chest and snuggling up to him. "Anyway, lets go to the sea, the waves are coming now. I forgot you don't know how to surf. It works out well for me. In that case you can just continue to enjoy the sun while looking after my stuff".
Mads took her surf board and ran ahead of Eagle to the waters. "What kind of guy am I?" he asked himself watching while his schoolmate was enjoying herself. "She is certainly fun and good company regardless". Eagle pulled Mads stuff closer to himself before falling asleep on with his head on his bag once more. That was when he had a dream once again. A huge neon blue eagle, the size of the legendary roc was flying above him fighting with some dark entities. That eagle was shinning bright blue and riding the back of the eagle was a tall blue haired and blue eyed man with a neon blue sword which could cut through the toughest metal.
"Wake up, Eagle. You are a really deep sleeper aren't you. I have been pushing you for the past ten minutes". He woke up only to see Mads sitting by his side.
"It is like I have been put in a deep sleep before meeting Eve", Eagle joked.
"Yeah right! You moron! Ha ha ha!" Mads punched Eagle in the ribs.
"So what do you believe in?"
"Nothing. I am just a free thinking girl".
Eagle and Mads spent the rest of the day in the beach under the sun was almost down before heading back to their units.
"I had a good time today, Eagle. Thank you for coming with me to the beach. We should do it more often. Bart will be coming over soon. We are going on a date tonight so I have got to change. See you later". Mads who smells of the salty sea water gave Eagle a hug and a kissed on the cheek before heading into her unit without giving Eagle a chance to respond but thats probably the way she is.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Ode to Freud
For those who do not understand the reference, "wish fulfillment" is before anything a term created by Sigmund Freud in the 1900's. In psychology it is a state of satisfying unconscious needs and desires by the use of fantasy and delusion. In literature it is the very base of fictional work, but also the name of a style of writing where the author sacrifices the key elements of good storytelling in order to fulfill his own psychopathic, neurotic or perverse needs and desires, usually through the use of the characters in weird and forced situations. What I meant by the title of this story is that it is a trashy, badly written, shitty story about me getting some wish fulfillment by the use of some characters and a fictional world of my creation. Not the good kind of fulfillment, since my wishes are of the bad kind and I intend to fulfill those, not yours. Also, being a total amateur and not writing a proper plot before starting are two big indicators that this story is going to go bad. I guess Royal Road call this kind of stories the "Mary Sue" kind. So, unless you are a very ugly piece of trash (at least as much as I am) don’t bother reading it. Now, if you ARE messed up on the level of a clinically depressive, lightly suicidal, lolicon/shotacon aligned morbidly obese hikikomori vermin who sold his virginity to a prostitute and is currently living at the costs of his widowed mother after expending all the money he got from his father’s inheritance, all the while masturbating furiously to beast/furry dickgirl hentai, then be welcomed. Please feel free to get a serving at my antidepressants and also at the canned tuna I have stored in the fridge. There may be some cheese somewhere, and I am pretty sure I bought some juice the other day, but I have no idea where it is. Anyway. You may dislike what I write because of all the amauteur(ish) writing, or you may not. Who knows. Give it a try and write a comment. It gets lonely writing to no one. Also, feel free to grant me inspiration not only by making comments about the world and/or characters, but specially by suggesting a music for me to listen while I write the next chapter. Be warned : I do get influenced easily by the background music I listen while writing. If you exist, of course. I'm seriously doubting anyone has read anything after the "lolicon hikikomori" thing. Also, I have a tiny dick.Just so you can feel better about yourself a little more. Or maybe I have just degraded psychologically a little more and now I am into shame-play. I wonder if the psychiatrist would increase my meds a bit if I told her about it.Hope I never get to penispanick, though! Self-mutilation, especially of the castration type, would be baaaad. After all, I do like my prostitutes. And having sex with them when I can afford it. Oh, yeah, the story. I will just write the first chapter in a few moments.Until later, b(i)each.
