《¥ Indigo ¥ Mike ¥ Foxtrot ¥ mission impossible fallout》Part 3

Carter was deep into the thick crowds of the club, her crystal orbs scanning the packed place. She had her phone in hand, a GPS tracking app open, with a rhythmic blip absorbing her attention. She wasn't getting anywhere closer to her target, but neither was she getting further away. So she stood still, not wanting to loose the trace. She flicked her head to view the other side of the room and sighed when nothing came up trumps. She had become bored, a slight problem with the young woman as she slumped in her spot. Huffing to herself, she decided to take one more sweep around the club to try detect another sort of trace, and to give herself something to do. Half way around, to her delight, the blips rapidly become more consistent. She followed her new found lead to the back end of the club. Some people cleared from her path as she came face to face with the men's toilets.
Seriously?
Suddenly the device in her hand silenced which was surprising to her. She also took it as a massive piss-take, she hadn't a clue how to find the exact target.
For fucks sake, there could be loads of guys in that restroom, it could be anyone but I would have no way of knowing which. I guess I'll just have to look like a massive weirdo perv in the guy's toilets.
She took a deep inhale, and pushed open the door to the restroom. The scene that greeted her was surprising, to say the least.
Maybe it won't be that hard.
Only three men habited the restroom.
One, young but quite stocky, scruffy moustache, collapsed on the floor, clutching his throat.
Another, faced away from her, on his knees, grabbing at the sink pipe wrapped around his throat, more than likely couldn't breathe.

And the final, also faced away, just so happened to be the one holding the sink pipe against the another's neck.
She barely thought as her instincts kicked in, as well as her adrenaline. She pounced forward, swinging her leg high as it collided with the man's head, knocking him back and freeing the other from being choked. The attacker quickly sprung back to his feet, only to be met with Carter's fist as she delivered quick blows to his stomach. After a few landed punches, the attacker caught her fist, and twisted it behind her back, spinning her around then kicking her away from him.
The bearded bloke from the floor had seemingly recovered and executed a sharp kick of his own upon the attacker's chest. He stumbled back into the grasp of the other man, a slightly shorter, older man but still quite possessing a well toned frame. He spun him around and began to swing at him.
They fought back and forth for a while before the older man gained the advantage and tackled him through the corner of the dividing wall. The fight continued for a short while, both the attacker and the younger and elder man, who appeared to be working together, producing equally matched fighting techniques.
It was evenly matched and neither side was really gaining any advantage until Carter decided to re-intervene with a charged kick to the attacker's chest followed by a forceful tackle, resulting in the man sprawling across the restroom tiles. Just as he was about to get up to continue to beat the shit out of them all, a gunshot rang out.
Oh shit.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
