《Fulcrum: Season One》6.9 Back to the Present
Advertisement
Unfortunately, I think that this is all we have time for. Zeke’s words through Corva’s inner voice reverberates in her mind. He jumps off of Corva’s shoulder, landing in front of her. The smell of sweetgrass permeates the air. Unexploded bundles of winged dynamite litter the ground all around them.
“Time to pick another memory?” Corva places her hands on her knees and catches her breath. Sweat steams off her skin in the cool evening air.
No. Time to face Thegn. Or the ground. He takes a moment to soak in his surroundings. I’ve got to say, though, this last memory was a masterful choice. I had no idea that this would work in the memory of a dream. He returns his gaze to Corva. Or that you had dreams with me in them.
Corva, still a bit out of breath, keeps one hand on her knee, but uses the other to point at the little monkey. “I figured you’d appreciate the familiar digs. Shame you can’t speak normally, though, and you’ve gotta do the mind talking thing.”
I probably could speak as you do. But remember that these are still memories. Probably best to stick with reality.
“Yeah, because talking to myself through a mirror is totally realistic.”
Point taken.
Corva reaches down and pokes one of the dynamite creatures. She’d started calling them “Dynaflights” in her mind. This one under her finger is a variation with wings like those of a bat. “Any clue about what these are?”
Zeke looks at the one she’s prodding, then the assorted others around them. No idea. This is your dream.
“Damn. I was hoping that this was one of her—Durga’s—memories. I think that I sometimes get those as dreams. This was one of the first I had and the one I’m least sure about. Thought you might know a thing or two about it.”

It still could be a memory of hers. I couldn’t say for sure, though. These explosive little creatures certainly aren’t anything I’ve encountered before.
Corva straightens and rolls her shoulders back. She twists her head to the side a bit, just enough to feel a little pop in her neck. “Alright. Let’s do this thing.”
Very well. Open your eyes.

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

The Immortal Scientist
Taking over the world was easy enough. Create a few super soldiers and a sentient A.I. and you'll defeat any nation on Earth. The real issues come after that. What do you do with the full efforts of a united mankind? Spread out as far as you can and make pretty things. The natives of the sol system spread out and occupied the every planet and moon. The polulation was skyrocketing under the support of new food and medicine systems. Back on Earth, the mastermind behind all this created something that was so powerful, the heavens themselves would send down a tribulation. After surviving the ordeal, he would ascend to a higher plane. Thrust onto the stage of martial world cultivators, he finds the world poor, dirty and dangerous. Magic is nice, but science had been coming along nicely. They had almost breeched the Void Wall at the edge of the solar system. The only option available to him now was to educate these warring savages and lay the groundwork for a proper industrial society.
