《Saladino - El Caballero》La rotura de la paz
Advertisement
La Ciudad Santa de Medina. Año quince de mi captura.
He llenado fatigosamente volúmenes con mi escritura. Saladino los lee raramente. Habla de acontecimientos más importantes que están todavía por llegar. Las fronteras políticas de este interminable desierto han cambiado como consecuencia de tres Cruzadas. Ahora existen en Tierra Santa cuatro estados que pertenecen a los cruzados.
Tras la victoria sarracena en Egipto, los líderes cruzados comprendieron que Saladino era un motivo de preocupación. Y se apresuraron a proponerle un pacto. Esperaba que ahora que la paz ya está entre nosotros, sería devuelto a los míos. Pero esa paz, que ha sido demasiado breve, ya se ha roto. Y no son los sarracenos, sino los cruzados los que han faltado a su palabra de honor. Reinaldo de Chatillon, un malvado guerrero francés, ha seguido invadiendo territorios árabes a pesar del pacto. Ataca las caravanas de comerciantes y sus barcos piratas amenazan las ciudades santas de Medina y La Meca. Saladino, furibundo, ha jurado matar a Reinaldo con sus propias manos.

Aunque todavía soy un prisionero, Saladino y sus generales cenan conmigo. Durante las comidas hablamos de matemáticas y astronomías. Nunca imaginé que una raza de hombres del desierto pudiera ser tan sabia. Bagdad, la capital sarracena es la ciudad más civilizada del mundo; con hospitales gratuitos, baños públicos, un servicio postal y bancos con sucursales en lugares tan lejanos como China. Pero cuando hablamos, acabamos abordando inevitablemente el tema de la guerra. Los veleros piratas de Reinaldo se pudren ahora en el fondo del Mar Rojo. Sus ataques sorpresa han terminado. Reinaldo ha escapado, pero sospecho que Saladino no perdonará ni olvidará.

Isaac Unknown: The Albatross Tales (Book 1)
Everywhere Isaac goes people die. The magician has learned to shrug in the face of death. Not foolhardy enough to laugh, nor fast enough to run, he greets its repeated appearance with blasé resignation. Whether he's collecting arcane artifacts for the mysterious agency known as Arrangement or doing a freelance demon summoning, all of his half-hearted attempts at preserving life seem to go awry. Blanketed by the shadow of his former master - a magician most believe to be a myth - Isaac just wants to do his job and keep his head low. As he encounters professional witch hunters, a failed feline familiar, angry cannibals, a possessed moonshine jug, and a competitive cabal of necromantic surgeons, Isaac finds that he's becoming very popular with the wrong kind of people. Book 1: The Albatross Tales - complete Book 2: The Furious Sons - TBA Cover by @Guinealove2005 at Instagram - Her business inquiry email is: [email protected]

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
