《Gate keeper》Chapter 50 unstable Yuki; Amelia's disgust
Advertisement
"It was a indirect death though." (Yuki)
June knelt down with a look of pity as she stared at Eric crying his heart out. Her eyes then went to Yuki with a bit of curiosity. Upon talking about the skill Yuki changed her tone as if she knew more about the skill. This wasn't knowledge her as Evelyn's daughter would know without her diary or traveling worlds.
"That knowledge and your way of talking. Yuki that's not the usual you anymore." (June)
"Is it, because it seems normal for me." (Yuki)
"No the part where you used Tresmen pronunciation isn't. It's a long lost language of the humans eons ago. To be exact since the 1st generation of angels in Hima's time period. Hima was a 1st generation angel." (June)
"Wait you said was." (Yuki)
"She died at a young age as a human, retained her memories and was reborn as a angel. Then she betrayed the god ruling them because his unjust rule. And she also hated being bound by rules and laws. Her way of doing things were for the weaker people of society even if she was no longer a princess. Punishing the unjust is and always was her way of things." (June)
"Why do you sound so sure she was as you said." (Yuki)
June didn't answer to Yuki's question either. Instead she flew away towards the dragon's kingdom. Her anger at the irresponsible king had killed his own daughter indirectly. Aquarius stood there stunned as Diana dragged her to her lady's side. Yuki stared stunned as she not the soul still lingering over the body.
"I wish you well Aquarius your free to go. You owe my family nothing anymore." (Ferris)
Surprise hit her strong as she stared at her mistress with a tearful crying face.
"No! This isn't possible she would survive any circumstances. It doesn't matter what the situation she'd still be alive." (Diana)
"Why did she say that. I served her of my own free will." (Aquarius)
"I understand what she meant. She meant she released you from her family circumstances go now that your free." (Yuki)
She actually wanted to say it was a miracle that Ferris could talk to them. Most souls would just go on to their next life, rare cases they end up as wondering souls without a body. Which made her wonder where Ferris was going to after this.

"Wait why did my mistress say that." (Aquarius)
"Sister has always said she didn't wish for you to be burden by the family." (Eric)
Yuki stood there shocked at herself usually she'd be more responsive to a person's death yet now she felt indifferent to this person. She staggered walking away confused at her own self.
"Hold up you were with the princess what's your relationship with her." (Eric)
"She knew my mother since her childhood." (Yuki)
Without saying anything more she left them. Aquarius followed her unsure where to go.
"I have no wish for anyone to follow me now when I'm unstable." (Yuki)
"Yet you knew what she meant." (Aquarius)
"Sorry I can't help you. I have issues of my own. Mine own life is off balance already I have no need for another person to worry about." (Yuki)
"I'm a elemental spirit so I'll manage." (Aquarius)
"Really because I like being alone." (Yuki)
(This is a lie she shows concern her own way and prefers being alone to not let others get hurt by her.)
"Look I can handle myself. Since she released me I have no where to go." (Aquarius)
Sighing Yuki didn't say anything as they traveled by foot through the forest. It was enough time for her to figure her thoughts out and notice that her mannerisms were changing too quickly. Her hand had already grabbed the rabbit's neck before she even noticed it making her flinch. Because of this she noticed her strength broke off its neck.
"Wow you have a good grip there." (Aquarius)
Instead she didn't respond back, her hand went working on skinning the rabbit carefully. Making Aquarius watch her with great interest at the work of her hand using the knife.
"This is amazing it's like you've done this before." (Aquarius)
"You get used to it quickly after hunting them for so long." (Yuki)
'Wait what am I saying I never hunted them in this life. This is Hina speaking isn't it. She and I fused so her speech and my manners as well as my memories are fusing.' (Yuki)
"What's wrong you seem momentarily distracted while skinning it." (Aquarius)
"It's nothing. I was just wondering what do you elemental spirits eat." (Yuki)
"That's rude we eat the same thing as everyone else." (Aquarius)

"Then is it fine for me to barbecue the rabbit for you." (Yuki)
"Sure." (Aquarius)
June stood at the gates with her bow drawn with anger seething out of her. At her feet were 13 royal guards that she had already massacred. Both her pink brows furrowed with her anger, her perfectly tanned skin was very much lively. More than anything she seemed as if a war god resurrected and would stop at nothing but killing her enemies.
"Why it's the queen of the Phoenixes. Welcome to our home. Sorry I can't be more welcoming than coming here to meet you." (Don)
"You sent your daughter knowing that she'd either die if she did marry me or any other man. Sending your own daughter to her death. I bet you knew she couldn't marry either way." (June)
"She was nothing more than a pawn on the chest board that no longer had it's use."(Don)
"Lives are not pawns! Especially not your own children." (June)
"Distress over a little girl. Is this really the so called Phoenix queen." (Don)
Her eyes seemed to be filled with hatred as she glared at the king of dragons in front of her. But her hand tightly gripped her bow as she notched the next arrow at him.
"Isn't it common sense for a king to use everything to his advantage." (Don)
"The teaching of us Phoenixes is that life is sacred no one has a right to ruin another's life." (June)
"Look what we have here Reista." (Amelia)
Reista stared but she let out a soft sigh. Her eyes could only see souls as burning souls, she was considered mostly blind by her people too. This was because she because she couldn't see anything else aside from souls. Amelia stroked her on her head as if she was a child. Her light blue hair waved in the air as Amelia undid her hair band. The pale skin seemed to glow in the sunlight as if she was a goddess that descended.
"Wait Amelia didn't you say you were attending a party." (June)
"Yes I was, but then my gut feelings said something was wrong. Plus I didn't feel that tingling sensation in my head so my guess was it was you not my sister in a strange situation." (Amelia)
Her words made June blink after awhile she realized it was in its own way Amelia saying she cared about her. But what surprised her was the girl standing next to Amelia squinting at the dragon queen.
"A corrupted soul. Clouded by a blackness, his soul was original a dark red but now it looks like a cluster of black. Is this why you brought me along." (Reista)
"No, I just had a feeling I needed your instights even though your still new in your own society as a soul devil." (Amelia)
(soul devils are terms human used to describe her race, but in reality they aren't really devils. This race manages the transmigration system of souls. They help keep the balance of souls and it's very rare but yes their race can create souls from scratch if they wanted or manipulating souls. The real reasons humans calls them devils is because they can control souls with their will.)
"I can't really help. Remember I'm just around a hundred. Meaning that I can't even access the transmigration system yet nor can I cleanse this bastard." (Reista)
"That doesn't mean you won't know his weakness." (Amelia)
"Nah! All fucking souls have it. You just have to be a soul that's powerful and made of other souls like my race to create a individual personality unique to our race." (Reista)
'That's sarcasm she's using on the last part isn't it like it's supposed to be obvious us Phoenixes call them the Soul creation race because many souls form one individual which our race considers a miracle.' (June)
"Yet on my freaking birthday you drag me here to clean up this trash." (Reista)
"Ouch not all tainted and corrupt souls are trash." (Amelia)
"To me they are. Because they're either unable to reincarnate or they end up as fate gatekeepers for most of their next life until their clean if the system can't accept them." (Reista)
"Harsh." (June & Amelia)
"Hey stupid girls I'm still here." (Don)
"Oh shut your stupid mouth up before I rip off your tongue." (Amelia)

Forest Born
A boy of questionable origin wanders out of the deep forest for the first time, to find the world far vaster than he could have ever imagined. Perhaps, he can find a place for himself here. And perhaps, he can uncover truths about himself, which he wouldn't have thought possible. But before that, he must learn to deal with the strange ways of the humans, with whom he isn't sure he shares as much as he'd hoped. When his first encounter with humans takes a turn for the worse, and his second even more so, he starts to realize that the life he's seeking might be more chaotic than he signed up for. --The cover image is taken from a copyright-free site, but should anyone wish to claim copyright, please contact me through a DM on this site--

When people mention fantasy games and RPGs, they usually think of goblins, elves, orcs, dwarves and magic (apart from the percentage that gets an image of an anti-tank weapon in their mind, I will respectfully put those individuals aside for now). But what if you get neither of those (not even the weapon, I know, sad)? And what if you end up playing as something that doesn't look like an animal at all? And what if the said game you were playing weren't actually a game, but real life changed by irresponsible, beyond-mortal beings? Follow the (mis)adventures of "player" 13241, a.k.a. Treant, as he experiences what it's like to be a walking magical fruit maker (among other things). When the world goes to hell and back, plants are the ones that remain, right?

8 321Nekana, One in Billions, Lost.
Nekana is a fairly normal girl. She'd stray occasionally, and among billions of processing thoughts, she'd get lost.Romance through cliché circumstances were non-existent; so were reincarnations and fantasy worlds situations as well. She breathes oxygen, people. and it was her specialty.

"170 years ago, in a world where humans have evolved such that they could live on the ocean floor, and form cities there, Commandant Franklin led a hunting party on a reconaissance expedition north, traveling from the outer edge of the Indian Ocean, all the way to the High Arctic. His goal: to find the fabled Northwest Passages for the Vicegerent of Tridention, and establish business with underwater arctic cities there. But the expedition went awry, and they never returned. Everyone in the party was presumed dead. Until now. When two of the hunters from that same expedition find their way back to Tridention after all these years, Watson, a retired commandant for one of Tridention's thirty-five hunting parties, agrees to help those hunters form a ragtag party of their own, against their leadership's wishes, and travel all the way back to the same Northwest Passages to recover the rest of the hunting expedition. The hope is that their commandant, and other hunters, are somehow still alive and can be brought back home safely. "
