《death's right hand: The Death Bringer》Halloween & fighting a mountain troll
Advertisement
Y/n pov:
Today is Halloween and I was sitting in charms class next to Neville. We were performing the levitation charm wingardium leviosa on some feathers provided by professor flitwick. I look over at Hermione and see her arguing with weasley about the spell then showing him how it's done. I help Neville get it right on his fifth try before class ends. Lily and I are walking behind Ron and Harry with Hermione between us.
Ron: she's unbearable and bossy no wonder she doesn't have any friends!
Harry laughed at Ron's comment as Hermione runs past them and I chase her till she reaches the girl's restroom and I stop outside the entrance of the restroom.
Y/n: Hermione! Ron is lying because you have me and Lily as your friends.
Hermione: just leave me alone for a bit y/n! Let me have a some time to myself for a while.
I walk away to the great hall for the Halloween feast. As I enter lily approaches me with a worried look.
Lily: Is Hermione ok? Where is she?
Y/n: she's ok. Hermione is in the girl's restroom crying still but it might be a good idea if you go talk to her so she doesn't miss the feast and so she knows that she really does have friends who care about her.
Lily: that's a good idea y/n. I'll go talk to her.
I watch lily run off to find Hermione and I sit next to Dumbledore and I notice quirrell is missing which is weird since he's always there before me so I shrug it off as he's being careful not to get pranked on Halloween. As everyone is enjoying their food the doors open and quirrell runs in scared.
Professor quirrell: troll in dungeons! Troll in the dungeons!

He faints and everyone is panicking till Dumbledore yells silence.
Dumbledore: prefects lead your houses to their common rooms.
I look at Dumbledore like he's stupid.
Y/n: are you dumb? The troll is in the dungeons so you are leading them to slaughter! Slytherin stay in this room!
The Slytherin table looks at each other in relief of not having to face the troll. I get a feeling Hermione and lily are in danger and teleport to their location.
Lily's pov:
I enter the girl's restroom and go to the stall Hermione is in and knock.
Lily: Hermione can I come in?
Hermione: you heard what Ron said about me.
Lily: yeah but it's not true y/n told me to help you since you are missing the feast and because he can't come in here to comfort you.
Hermione opens the stall door and hugs me before making a disgusted face.
Hermione: what's that smell?
Lily: I don't know.
We look to the door to see a mountain troll standing there. It swings its club at us and misses destroying the stalls and swinging the club again as I push Hermione out of the way as I get smacked into the wall breaking my arm and hitting my head on a sink. I see a fire appear behind the troll before passing out.
Y/n pov:
I exit the flame portal and see a mountain troll standing over Hermione and lily and send a cutting spell at it to distract it causing it to swing it's club in my direction breaking some mirrors as a few pieces flies towards Hermione which distracts me for a second.
Y/n: Hermione get down!
Hermione gets down a little late which causes the glass to cut her forehead and cheek a little bit. Harry and Ron enter seeing me crash into the wall next to them but seeing my friends hurt I shift in my Carnotaurus form and charge the troll. I bite the arm with the club causing it to let it go as I got the nerves and muscles to make it have its hand closed on the club to open. I smack it in the chest with the tail then bite at the neck missing. Hermione crawls over to lily to check on her as I bite the troll on the leg and pull it off it's feet as Ron uses the levitation charm on the club dropping it on my back as I ripped out the throat of the troll. I growl at him in anger causing him to yelp in fear as I shift back to normal to check on Hermione and lily. I let the Carnotaurus eat the troll when the teachers enter.

Professor McGonagall: what happened?
Hermione: it was my fault professor. I thought I could take the troll on my own but I was wrong Lily and y/n came to help get me to safety but lily got hurt and y/n got angry that we got hurt so he turned into that Carnotaurus which he used to fight it. Harry tried to convince me to move but I was worried about lily and Ron dropped it's club on y/n.
Y/n: prowl at my side.
Prowl appears next to me from a ball of fire leaving my body and me and Hermione put lily on prowl's back and head towards the teachers.
Professor McGonagall: well then five points from gryffindor miss granger for poor planning and mister weasley three points from gryffindor for hurting another student, mister potter five points to gryffindor for helping a fellow student in danger and miss potter six points to Slytherin, gryffindor, and ravenclaw for trying to protect a fellow student.
Harry: why does Slytherin, gryffindor, and ravenclaw get points from my sister.
Y/n: because she is in all three of those houses stupid.
I snap my fingers at the troll corpse and the Carnotaurus and they get teleported to the my common room. Me and Hermione take lily on prowl's back to the hospital wing.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
8 62The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
