《The last adventure ~The Goonies~ Brand Walsh》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Brand steered around a bunch of curves in the road and I wouldn't lie I was getting quite dizzy. Plus my head was hurting, so that probably wasn't helping my case either. I groaned and placed my head on his back.
"You okay back there?" He asked, I nodded not moving my head from his back. He slightly chuckled and turned his head for a split second to look at me before focusing back on the road.
Brand's POV
I saw the Stop 'N Snack Shop up ahead and decided to get Sammy some pain killers. I pulled over and she got off then I did. I placed the bike against the wall, took her hand without realising and took her inside.
"What are we doing?" She asked looking at me.
"I'm helping you with your headache" I said and we headed over to an aisle I grabbed a box of painkillers and we walked to the counter. Sammy went to pay but I stopped her and paid for it myself.
"Do you want water? Or do you want to swallow the pills without water?" I asked her as I handed her two tablets.
"It's easier for me with water, I'll pay and umm thank you Brand for helping me out" she said being awkward but I found it adorable.
I nodded with a smile and grabbed a water bottle for her. She grabbed it with a smile and walked to the counter and paid for the bottle she put some water into her mouth then swallowed the tablets.
"Samantha, Brand" Troy said coming up to us with Andi and Stef behind him.
"Don't call me Samantha, it's Sam and you well and truely know it" Bowie said already pissed off.
"Whatever you say Samantha" Troy said with a smirk, I stepped in front of Sammy knowing full well she's someone who's not afraid to punch a jerk like Troy.

"Hey Brand, Sam" Andi said my name with such joy then practically spat Sammy's name out.
"Hey" we both said, Stef gave a wave for us to give one back. Troy was approaching us, he pushed me to the side and looked at Sammy with a smirk.
"You know for a hot chic, you're pretty insane. You should be hanging out with people like us, not these losers" he said getting closer to her.
"Well I may be insane, but at least I have friends who will look out for me no matter what. No amount of money would get me coming to you!" She hissed at him. He scoffed and went to kiss her immediately Sammy started looking uncomfortable. I pushed him out of the way and glared at him.
"Don't ever touch her again! If you even look at her I will kick your arse!" I threatened he shook his fear off with a smirk and ran out. I looked at Sammy making sure she was okay.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed hugging me, I smiled and hugged her back.
We got back on the bike in search of the boys, I was thinking about what Sammy said at the shop and I was curious as to what she meant.
"Hey Sammy" I started.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"What did you mean about the whole money thing in the shop?" I asked looking at her for a split second before concentrating on the road.
She sighed quietly and then began telling me the story behind her words.
Third person's POV.
Samantha was at the music store to buy some more cassette tapes, she was startled by hands being placed on her shoulders. She spun around and saw Troy with a massive smirk on his face.
"What do you want?" She asked with an eye roll.

"You" he said.
"I'd never date you, not even if you were the last man on the planet!" She shouted.
"Why do you even like me anyway?" She asked holding two cassette tapes in her hands.
"You're hot, plus I reckon you'd be better off with someone like me. You know help you with finances," he explained with such cockiness in his voice. Samantha shook her head, feeling put down by his words.
"I'll give 50,000 dollars for you to date me" he said smiling.
"No" she said and walked away giving the lady who owned the store some money for the cassette tapes. She placed them in her bag and hopped on her bike with Troy running out of the store.
"Come on!" He shouted getting looks from others.

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Techno-Heretic
Eli is an ancient man sentenced to death for the crime of surpassing the sacred number of 32.8, which is the allowed percentage of increased mental ability from the use of AI chips. As he journeys through death and into a world of fantasy and magic, he finds himself approaching never before seen heights of magical power and ability. Powers that will shape the world and would see him go down in legends for generations ever after. But just because someone acquires magical abilities, that doesn't mean magic is suddenly the most important thing in their life. Some people aren't looking to be all-powerful gods, have the world bow at their feet, or spend their days obsessing over accumulating ever more power. Some people just want acceptance, stability, and the warmth of their loved ones to drive away the cold loneliness of the night. And in a world where magic is the bedrock of society, where magic is what determines who is preferred for siring children, where people with high magical ability are destined to live in great luxury and those without magic simply live to make due, this difference in values and perspective could not have a starker contrast. As Eli and the people around him navigate the misconceptions and deceptions of this world, he will represent a great and magnificent future for the human race. One where humanity will stand above the elves, dwarves, orcs, fairies, and all the horrors of the world. Sadly, men's tools are as fallible as the people who make them, and in a society where the potential of an individual is determined solely through their magical level, this seed of promise may yet turn venomous.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
