Y/N's P.O.V.
I watched, amused, as the child pressed several buttons on the control panel, making things light up and lights go out.
"Stop touching things." Mando sighed, the child making a soft noise.
He pressed another button and the ship shook with turbulence, before Mando quickly stopped it and picked up the child.
"Watch him." Mando handed me the child and he giggled.
"Hey, buddy." I whispered, holding the child up.
"Where are we headed, Mando?"
"Let's see... Sorgan. Looks like there's no star port, no industrial centres, no population density. A real backwater slug hole." He muttered.
"Well, doesn't that sound lovely?" I asked the child, making him coo.
"It means it's perfect for us." Mando nodded, before turning to face us.
"You ready to lay low and stretch your legs for a couple of months you little wamp rat?"
"Nobody is gonna find us here." I said to the child, not sure whether I was trying to convince him or me. Mando began to lower the ship onto the forest planet, the child looking out of the window curiously.
"Now listen. We're going to go out there and look around." Mando explained, picking up the child and sitting him down in his own seat.
"It shouldn't take too long." He sighed, sounding like a tired parent.
"Now, don't touch anything. We'll find us some lodging then we'll come back for you. You stay right here. You stay." Mando held his hands up as he spoke and I had to hold back my laugh.
"Don't move. You understand? Great." We left the cockpit and I couldn't keep the grin off of my face.
"What?"
"The kid didn't understand a word you just said and if he did, he's not going to listen." I shrugged and Mando opened the doors. Right on cue, the child stepped in between us and cooed once again, making Mando sigh.

"Oh, what the Hell. Come on." Mando walked off the ship and I watched the child follow, taking tiny footsteps and trying to keep up with him. I followed behind, keeping my eye on the little one.
I noticed Mando taking shorter steps, letting the child keep up with him.
"Shut up." He looked back at me.
"I didn't say anything." I grinned.
"No, but you were thinking it." He muttered and I laughed.
"Actually, I was thinking about how adorable it is that you're the best bounty hunter I've ever worked with and possibly the most dangerous man alive and yet you have a soft spot for a child." I teased.
"That's why I'm telling you to shut up." He muttered, making me smile. We reached a hut and I figured that inside we'd be able to find food and lodging.
The kid seemed excited to be around so many people and Mando led us over to a table, sitting down, but not before helping the kid up onto a seat.
"Rebel shocktrooper." I said lowly to Mando, glancing up at the woman who was watching us.
"The stripes on her arm gave it away."
"Welcome, travellers. Can I interest you in anything?" A waitress asked, coming over to the table.
"Bone broth, for the little one." Mando ordered.
"Oh, well, you're in luck. There's plenty could I interest the two of you in some broth, as well?" She smiled.
"Just the one." I smiled and she nodded.
"Very well." She turned to leave when Mando spoke up.
"That one, over there." He nodded towards the shocktrooper.
"When did she arrive?"
"I- I've seen her here for the last week or so." The waitress shrugged.

"What's her business here?" Mando pushed.
"Business? Oh, well, there's not much business is Sorgan, so-" I dropped a few credits onto the table, persuading her to continue.
"She doesn't strike me as a long runner- thank you, miss. I will get that broth to you as soon as possible and I will throw in a flagen of spotchka. Just for good measure. I will be right back with that." She walked away and I noticed the shocktrooper was gone.
"Go. I've got the kid." Mando nodded and got out of his seat, heading towards the door. If he wasn't back in a few minutes, I'd go after him, but until then, I'd watch the child. The waitress brought over the broth and the drink, but the child didn't seem to be interested.
"Come on, aren't you hungry?" I asked and he pointed towards the door, making a small sound.
"Yeah, okay. Let's go and find him." I picked the child up, before giving him the small bowl, letting him drink from it as we went outside. Finding the two of them wasn't difficult, they were both on the ground, blasters pointed at each other. The child slurped his food loudly and they both looked up at us.
"You want some soup?" Mando offered the woman and a small smile crept onto her face.
We went inside and introduced ourselves. Cara Dune, an ex rebel shocktrooper, who was hiding on Sorgan after she left her post.
"Well, this has been a real treat." She smiled, standing up after finishing her meal.
"But unless you want to go another round, one of us is going to have to move on and... I was here first."
"Well, looks like this planet is taken." Mando sighed and I hummed.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)
