《The Assassin Chronicles: Part I》Enyo
Advertisement
Enyo stretched the girl’s arms. It had been a while since she’d been free. The last time had been around 7 years ago. That experience hadn’t been fun for Enyo or the girl. True, she’d enjoyed the pain she inflicted but she hated experiencing pain however brief. She was jarred from her thoughts by someone yelling over the phone. Mac! What the hell is happening? The voice shouted. My dear I think you’d better answer him before he has a coronary, she told the girl. The girl raised an eyebrow at her. Enyo gestured to the phone in her hand. Niall, she said. We’ve got a situation here that I need to deal with right now. But Mac, you can’t hold the ghoul forever. The voice said. Niall, I know what I can and cannot handle and right now I cannot worrry about some damn ghoul! She shouted. Enyo plucked the phone from her hand and put it to her ear. I wouldn’t worry your pretty little head about the length of time your girl can hold the ghoul, she schmoozed. I’ll have your information and her head before the sun rises so you’d best let me get to work. She let her voice drop lower than normal and without really meaning to her voice became very seductive. S-she’s not...s-she’s my s-sister! But Enyo didn’t hear him. She’d tossed the phone back to the girl’s sister and was making her way to the trunk of the car Mac had arrived in. She pulled the trunk open and glared gleefully at the ghoul. Hello, love she said adopting an English accent. You and I are about to have some fun. She opened the cage and pulled the woman roughly to her. Enyo tossed her over her shoulder and whistled to the group across the garage. Hey Sasquatch! She called to the taller of the two men. Got anywhere to question this one? She gave the ghoul over her shoulder a pat. The man sighed deeply enough that Enyo could hear it from across the garage, probably was the echo anyway. This way, he called to her. Enyo followed him with a sadistic smirk. She couldn’t wait to get set up. Please tell me you have a good set of knives I can commandeer while I’m here, she said to the man in front of her. The man looked over his shoulder disdainfully. We don’t deal in torture despite our job description, he snapped. I’m sure the girl brought one, she mused unconcerned. Mac bring my bag when you come! Mac raised her hand to show she’d heard. Enyo turned back to the man in front of her. He was staring at her with a mix of hatred and horror. Don’t look at me like that, she snapped. You’re a hunter. Things like this aren’t in your job description. The girl and I, well, we’re a bit different. We’re assassins. We do worse than this to people or we have in the past. Why do you think she has me? The man stared at her in surprise and confusion. Yeah, I know I’m not truly real. I’m just a part of her fractured mind looking to give her peace. And let me tell you, I’m not the only one there is.

The Mansion in the Woods
In a world of mystery with dozens of races, known and unknown, the young Priestess Glissandi sets out into the world, acccepting her sacred task as a missionary. The young, intelligent woman is accompanied by the wise and careful Paladin Lissa, the young, experienced and reclusive Knight Trista and the two over-eager and talented Squires Mira and Mina as she sets forth on a grand adventure, only to quickly run into what seems to be a deep conspiracy, stretching back to one enigmatic person. Determined to bring him to Light and justice in the Lord's name, she ignores the warnings all around her and goes chasing after a being who everyone fears, but is she really prepared for the truths she will encounter on her journey? Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)
