《Shadows {Book one in the Coriana Johnson series}》Fitzsimmons
Advertisement
I wandered around the base, exploring. May and I had just gotten done with training.
It had been pretty tiring. And fun! I mean, just imagine getting up really really early in the morning and getting beat up by the most friendly person in the world! That's what I want to do every single morning.
Yeah, it's fun.
I walked over to the lab to see if anyone was there. I wanted to see what kind of tech they had there.
I enjoyed working with technology. One of my friends taught me about things like that, and I picked up the rest.
I peeked into the lab and saw Fitz bent over some papers and Simmons studying something. I knocked on the door, which was slightly ajar.
Both of them looked up.
"Hi Coriana!" Simmons said brightly. "Come on in."
I smiled and walked into the lab. The two of them smiled at me. It was that moment I realized how cute they were together. They looked ADORABLE!
"What are you up to?" Simmons asked. I shrugged.
"I was bored, I guess. And I kind of wanted to check out your lab,"
I replied.
"Oh! Are you interested in science?" she asked.
"Well, I enjoy working on technology and stuff like that. My friends thought I was pretty good with it."
"Ah, that's more of Fitz's area. I'm a biochemist, he's an engineer." I nodded.
"So what's it like, being a spy?" I asked after a few moments of silence. The two of them glanced at each other.
"Well," Fitz began, "At times it can be exciting-"
"And we have found fascinating things-" Simmons continued.
"But for all of the amazing things out there-"
"Lots of them are very dangerous," Simmons finished.

I stared at them in silence for a few moments, then grinned.
"Wow," I whispered.
"What?" Fitz asked.
"Right then! You two just like did some mega sentence-finishing! That was....just wow."
Simmons laughed.
"We do it all of the time," she said.
Fitz nodded.
"We've known each other for a while," he added.
"So how long have the two of you been with SHIELD?" I asked.
"Well, we went to the Academy when we were about 16-" Fitz began but I cut him off.
"What's the Academy?" I asked.
"Oh yes, of course you don't know what it is, or really, what it was. The Academy was what SHEILD used to train future agents. There were three divisions. There was operations, communications, and science and technology-" Jemma explained.
"Where we went, of course," Fitz finished.
I nodded.
"So you've been with SHIELD since you were 16?" I asked. They nodded simultaneously.
"Wow. That's young."
"That's just a year younger than you are," Fitz pointed out.
"And you've started training," Simmons added.
"I know! I wasn't saying I'm not young. I may have started training, but I doubt I'll be able to go on any missions any time soon. Everyone will probably say, 'You're too young!' Or 'It's too dangerous!'. I don't know how long it will be before I'll be able to go on a mission."
I sighed. Fitz and Simmons exchanged glances.
"Well, Coriana, you know that missions are very dangerous. But right now, the reason you can't go on them yet is because you don't have enough training. We can worry about the age factor later," Simmons said kindly.
I smiled.
"Thanks. And by the way, you two can call me Cori. I prefer that to Coriana."

The two of them nodded.
"Having fun talking to Fitzsimmons, Cori?" I heard a familiar voice say from behind me.
I turned around and saw Daisy.
"What are you doing out of bed!" Simmons exclaimed and stood up.
"Simmons, I'm fine! I can walk," Daisy said, sighing.
"I ordered you to stay in bed! You need your rest!"
I looked over at Fitz, who I could tell was trying not to smile. He was obviously amused, like I was.
"Fine. I'll get back in bed. I'm just bored, that's all," Daisy said.
Simmons nodded, satisfied.
"I'll make sure she actually gets in bed," I piped up. Daisy rolled her eyes and I grinned. We walked out into the hallway, heading towards her room.
"So what did you call them back there?" I asked Daisy.
"What? Oh, yeah. I called them Fitzsimmons," Daisy responded.
"Fitzsimmons?" I replied, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Some people call them that since they're together so often."
I thought for a moment, then grinned.
"Fitzsimmons. I'm definitely going to call them that."
We reached her room and Daisy walked inside. She sighed.
"Well, I guess I have to lay down again like Simmons said."
I smiled.
"I can stay with you for a bit if you'd like me to," I offered.
Daisy smiled.
"Sure. It would be nice to have some company."
Daisy got on her bed and laid down. I laid down next to her as she grabbed her computer. I watched over her shoulder as she browsed around on the computer. We talked for a bit, but eventually, she laid back onto the pillow and looked like she was drifting off.
I leaned my head up against her shoulder, and I felt her lean her head on mine.
I smiled and closed my eyes, and drifted off into a unusually peaceful sleep.

8 85Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
8 140Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
