"So this is the dungeon they were talking about..?", asked the brawny man wearing a full suit of knight armor of the same design as his companions and had a huge hammer tied on his back.
This bald man with scars on his face has been staying in front of the group for quite some time now; and as one could tell, he is the muscles as well as the experienced older brother among his companions. In front of him is a hole in the side of a mountain, and inside is a deep cave system oozing with mystery.
One of the men came forward, "Yes. According to report, this is the mysterious cave that the adventurers discovered."
A short black haired young glasses man, with a rapier on his side, answered the muscle bound man's question calmly.
"The adventurers who entered this place said that there are what seemed to be buildings of houses and halls that resembled a street of a very prestigious city. There are lamps with medium quality magi stones inside as well. There are other reports of rare objects found in different places, as well as what seemed to be a garden that resembled an illustration of a garden inside the capital city of Amyth. They think this is the lost capital city from a thousand years ago. But there is a problem. The place is infested with demons."
When the brawny man heard the word demons, he started making a huge grin on his face .
"Hehe. Interesting. Hey Captain! Shouldn't we be entering already? What are we even waiting for?", asked the brawny man who too excited to the captain of their unit.
A golden haired lady with a bun hairstyle in her early twenties walked forward to where the brawny man was currently standing.

"Again, that's VICE captain. I was never promoted, remember?", says the only lady of the group with an annoyed tone. This woman is wearing a much more revealing and feminine version of the armors the male were wearing, emphasizing on speed and mobility rather than strength, even though she uses a mace.
"Really? I thought you did though, since Senya is reliable.", says the brawny man in surprise to the Vice Captain, making her sigh inwardly.
That's right, her name is Senya de Ovlen, currently the vice captain of the newly appointed unit.
"And you're our veteran supervisor, Sir Amos."
The brawny man's name is Sir Amos Coreman. A veteran knight and supervisor of the unit.
"The preparations have already been finished. I believe the captain says we can go." says the glasses guy interrupting the two's conversation. This guy's name is Armin Coreman. The youngest brother of Amos Coreman and a knight who's part of the unit, as well as the intelligence division.
"Well then, I guess we should go now.", says Sir Amos while smiling with excitement.
And like an instrument in tune, Vice Captain Senya declared with a shout to the other soldiers, "Everyone! let's move out!".
The unit enters the dungeon.
>>>~~\M/~~
Below the ground, where no one can hear nor know about, lies a large dark cave with an old big tower that's enough to have a lot of rooms inside. In one of these rooms is a huge circular dome shaped room that seemed untouched by time. In the middle of it is a glass coffin, surrounded by huge piles of treasure at the dome's corners. On the sealing of the dome is a stone that emits a bright light which falls down to the sleeping little girl inside the coffin. This girl seems to be at the age of three; and if one were to look properly, the little girl has a porcelain white skin, a bright red hair and a cute yet calm sleeping face. She looked like a precious, little doll.

It's bright.
Lily weakly opened her eyes to see what was going on, while trying to adjust to the light that's above her; but the light was too strong for her weak eyes, so she tried lifting her body instead. Little did she know, she was inside a coffin made out of glass.
Huh? What is this?
I moved my arm to touch it, only to find hard glass surrounding me. I didn't hesitate to try and push it off me; and with luck, the glass was easily moved to the side, fell then broke to pieces.
She then proceeded to move herself out, but was suddenly shocked by her joint's persistence. Her body was stiff as if it was not used for a very long time.
Wait. huh?
I'm... struggling to lift my upper body? Come to think of it, I feel... warm.
What's going on?
Confused with the sudden changes, Lily tries to make sense of the situation by trying to recall everything that happened; but her brain responded only with a sudden head ache. With all of this going on, she could barely keep herself from panicking.
'Okay, okay. C-calm down. Why don't we get off this bed first.'
Lily, confused with the new things she's experiencing in her body, started talking to herself to calm down, which she never had to do before. Without noticing the changes on her height, nor the fact that she has shorter limbs or the fact that she has red hair, Lily decided to move herself out of the bed. That's right. right now, Lily is the cute little girl that was just sleeping a while ago.
I moved my feet out of the bed and tried to feel the floor, only to fall from an unexpected height.
"kyah-!"
In the impact, a part of the shattered glass pierced the skin of her feet and into the muscles. Surprised by the sudden feeling of pain that shocked her body, she stopped what she was going to do and took a glance at the wound. 'It's painful', she thought; and just like a director right on cue, tears started falling from her eyes, for the first time.
After that, like flood, her emotions gashed out from the bottle that was never opened before, until now.
she screamed loudly, and cried harder like a child looking for her mother.
"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH... MAAAAA.."
Why? I don't understand. I can't control myself anymore.
Someone. Please tell me what's going on!

Sorry for the short Chapter. I'm actually running on empty here, and would like to take a bit of break. I'll post a new one as soon as I can. [th_0gotas.gif]

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

The story only I can speak of for it is solely mine. And now, as I recount it to you, thence forth it shall belong to all that hear of it. Listen well, then, for I shall begin.”Sooo, that’s it. The world isn’t what it is. The dead are alive. The weak become strong. And bla bla bla. The normal days of a superhero-in-training, I suppose.
