《Kingdom of Earthos》Chapter 4: A cheap movie night
Advertisement
"It has been a while since we have watched a film together. Why don't we watch new mutants tonight. Tuesday tickets are much cheaper than other days. I will pay for them tickets", Eagle said on the way.
"Don't you have to wake up early tomorrow?" Mads found a parking spot just in front of the mall.
"I can miss a bit of sleep. We have not hang out for a while. It is not a date".
"Trying to sound smooth again. I am not interested in dating anyone".
"Like I said, it is not a date. Don't tell me we can't be friends". Looking at Mads, Eagle gave her a wink.
"Alright, no worries, I was just messing with you. I will join you for a movie night but first let me buy the coffee".
"Sounds good to me".
"You aren't trying to act like Miguel Diaz, are you?"Giggling away, she jab him in the ribs as usual.
"Who?" Eagle looking confuse once again.
"Did you ever watch Cobra Kai? The sequel to Karate Kid?" Mads laugh while hitting Eagle.
"I did. I only remember Johnny Lawrence". Eagle allowed Mads to keep on hitting him playfully.
Entering the Starbucks coffee shop which is surprisingly quite tonight, Mad purchased two blonde roast coffees with minimum sugar. "No sugar for you tonight". She stuck out her tongue at him.
"Fine. I don't take sugar before sleep anyway. Not since, I have gained some weight before joining the School of Paradeisos". Taking his coffee form Mads and leading the way to the cinema which was a few floors up. "We will have to use three escalators".
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. On second thought, you have loss that belly fat since we last met". Examining his abs and poking them with her left index finger before jabbing him in the ribs.

"Hey you!"
"Catch me if you can". Chasing a surprisingly fast Mads all the way to the cinema, they paused to catch their breath the moment they reach their destination. "That was a good work out".
"I will buy the tickets". Leading the way to the counter.
"Yeah, yeah!" Following Eagle to the counter. "Do you know one thing. I believe you will actually be a married man soon".
"Really? Who would want a guy like me?"
"I am not too sure but I believe we will soon have new comers joining us very soon". No sooner had Mads finished speaking did someone familiar come along. She had long blonde hair and was carrying a five year old girl with red hair.
"Mom, I want to watch Trolls". The girl cried.
"Honey, it is night. We will have to wait tomorrow". Cutting pass Eagle and Mads without noticing them, the blonde was trying to calm down her daughter.
"I hate you, mom".
"Tomi? Is that you?" Walking in front of Eagle and calling out to the blonde, Mads nearly spilled her coffee.
"Mads?" Turning arounds, Tomi embraced Mads with her free hand before letting go and introducing her daughter. "Meet my daughter, Mertle".
"Hi Mertle". Touching the five year old red head's hair with left hand, Mad's cooed. "Its nice to meet you".
"Hello", Mertle smilled.
"Where have you been all this while". Turning back to Tomi, the brunette noticed that Eagle had already gone ahead to pay for the tickets.
"I have been busy juggling my work and taking care of Mertle as well as partying. This baby belongs to Edward".
"But didn't you both break up on graduation day?"
"We did but he invited me to a party too years after and thats when it all happened. I will tell you more later. Your friend is coming back with the tickets".

"He is Eagle".
Taking a look at the young man who once attempted to win her attention back in high school, Tomi looked at Eagle, shock that she did not recognise him earlier on. "Eagle, hi there its been a while?"
"Hi, Tomi. Long time no see. I am just watching a movie with Mads tonight".
"Are you both dating?"
"No ways". Eagle and Mads replied in unison.
"What film are you guys watching?"
"New Mutants, I guess, Eagle bought the tickets so............"Pointing at Eagle before jabbing him in the left rib, Mads giggled.
"I am watching New Mutants too. Please wait here while I buy a ticket for my daughter and I. Help me look after her". Handing Mertle to Mads before running off to the counter.
"Need a hand?" Turning towards Mads, Eagle smirked while looking at Mads with both her hands full.
"Carry Mertle for me?"
"Alright but your coffee is mine". Taking Mertle from Mads and laughing. "Hi Mertle".
"Yeah right". Jabbing Eagle in the ribs again, the brunette caused Eagle to fliched just as the red head daughter of Tomi greeted him in return.
"I am back. Are you both ready?" Tomi asked.
"I certainly am but I am not sure if Eagle is".
"We will leave him behind than", Taking her daughter back from him before heading towards cinema number 1 which is IMAX.
Grabbing Eagle by the wrist, Mads dragged him along. "We are watching 3D tonight and don't worry, Tomi was just kidding".
"No I am not".
"I want some lolis".
"Alright, Mertle, darling, I will give you some as soon as we enter the cinema".
"No I want it now. I hate you mom".
"Really? Tomi? You are going to let her just be rude with no consequences", Mads asked looking annoyed.
"What would you do yourself?!" Tomi retorted.
Mads could not answer as she never really had to discipline her well behave daughter which she had with Eagle. All of them headed into the cinema which was relatively spacious.
"So what are you doing with yourself?" Tomi asked after handing Mertle the bag of lollies which she bought while purchasing a ticket for both her daughter and herself.
"I am now an eagle rider and still working in the same clothing shop with Sarah".
"That is great to hear. Is Eagle an eagle rider too? I have always heard about eagle riders and what Mr Buffalo said about them"
"He surely is. Come to the School of Paradeisos this saturday and I will show you my royal blue eagle. Her name is Azul. Lunch will be free".
"It is a done deal. I have always been interested in eagles". Little did Tomi remember the first sentence Eagle said when they first met. If I could only fly like an Eagle.
The film was so enjoyable that time seemed to pass quickly, Mertle fell asleep on Tomi's lap. After walking to the blonde and her daughter to her car in the parking lot and making sure she got into the car safely, Eagle and Mads headed to the front of the shopping mall and got into the brunette's car. On the way home, Mads said, "I have a good time tonight. Birdy can stay with you every alternate week if you like".
"Sure thing. Thanks Mads".
"No worries, Eagle. Good night". She kissed him goodnight on the cheek before dropping him off in front of the School of Paradeisos. Since the main gate was shut, Eagle had to use one of his keys to open the small side gate on its left.
"Good night, Mads and thanks for the lift. Have a good night".

The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.
