《The Night Sky》9 - Cured
Advertisement
Just off to the right of a generally unused road sheltered by the surrounding forest, sits a school. It isn't a traditional school, not its physical appearance nor its students. 'A school for gifted youngsters' it claims to be, and down the lane to the front door there is a hint of excitement hanging in the air.
Through the doors and chaos breaks loose; children of all ages appearing, disappearing, flying, bolting all with smiles on their faces. The halls are filled with the voices of hundreds, bustling about their business.
In a sitting room off to the right on a dark coloured sofa sits a girl with red hair, a pink blush on her cheeks as she glances to the boy next to her who wears glasses with lenses that match her hair and a large smile on his face.
They glance up as a frisbee flies directly past the doorway, followed by a blur of silver. The frisbee suddenly stops, a hand forming around its plastic surface as the guy who catches it moves a strand of silver hair out of his face and smiles back down the hall to another boy. "Nice throw Jethro, but you're going to have to try a whole lot better than that." Shouts the silver haired boy. The other boy smiles, shouting back "Evelyn was right about you being an ass."
They both chuckle and run up the nearest staircase and past the library. In the library sits a woman with icy blond hair, the small wrinkles lining her skin testament to the deep worry that plagues her eyes. Another woman with dark skin appears, her hair white much beyond her age. She places a comforting hand on the other lady's shoulder. A small breeze drifts through a high window, carrying with it pink petals that then drift past the woman's face, her worry dissolving for a moment to allow a smile. "Don't worry Clarisse," the white haired woman says to the other as she weaves the breeze on her finger tips, "we will find him, and bring him home."

The breeze carries a stray petal out of the library and down another staircase passing a girl with black pigtails and a bright yellow jacket who's creating pulses of electricity within her hands that are mesmerising a group of watchful children.
The petal drifts down the hallway coming to rest at the doorway of an office where a man in a wheelchair is speaking hushed words to another with dark spiked hair. Their heads both turn when an explosion is heard in a few rooms down.
A door bursts open, a man tumbling out along with an explosion of dust and broken test tubes. He lifts his face from the ground, a shocked expression present as his cracked glasses hang awkwardly from one ear. "Hi Hank," says a student who's passing at that moment to the man on the ground. He shoots them a goofy grin from the ground as they turn, entering the kitchen.
In the kitchen a boy with blue skin and a fidgeting tail is flipping some pancakes as he makes eager conversation with four others who are lined up on stools at the counter. He looks happy, like he hasn't been in a while, and once every minute he glances out the kitchen window to the lush green lawn outside.
Though it's not the lawn he's looking at. A girl sits on the grass, wearing a long white dress with bare feet. Her hair is long and coloured icy blond, except for a thin streak of blue running from her part to the hair's end. She looks relaxed, and peaceful, but her eyes aren't shut like most others would be. Instead they are darting around her surroundings as if attempting to take in every single detail of the world around her. Her dark eyes are pooled with an equal amount of happiness and sadness. She glides her hands over the grass as if attempting to sense something, but settles them at her side after not too long.

Her eyes soon land on a white flower that had been sitting beside her, in a spot where her peripheral vision had not explored. She looks at it thoughtfully for a moment. She cautiously lifts her hand and moves her fingers towards one of its white petals.
When her finger makes contact her body freezes and her eyes snap shut. She stays like that, motionless for several seconds before her eyes reopen and she snatches her hand away.
She looks shocked, as if she's seen something that nobody else can.
"Evelyn. What is it?" asks the blue boy from before, he is walking towards her holding a plate filled with pancakes and cream.
She turns towards him, her shocked expression now one of excitement and hope.
"I saw it as a seed... And I felt what its feeling..." She whispered to herself deep in thought. Her expression suddenly turned to realisation. "Kurt," she said, with a smile quickly forming on her face. "I'm not cured!"

Personal Agency
It is better to die knowing. Listen. The world as you know it is not as you know it. It is a construction, a facade, a mural painted over the world to hide the fact that it is very broken on some fundamental levels. That there exists an entire spiritual realm, one of cognition and perception and memory and that it teems with awful life. The world was not made for us. Jacob Irwing is a fairly normal 26 year old American man. He's an amateur photographer, unmarried and does not work in his chosen field. He is also dying, right now, in the first chapter of this story. Someone has put a bullet in him. Agent Z is a fairly abnormal woman of no nationality. Her age is classified. Her name is classified. Her background? You better believe it's classified. She works for the people who hide the truth. She is going to wake up with a hole in her head in the first chapter of this story, surrounded by corpses and also by a dying fairly normal 26 year old American man. Burned and seemingly abandoned by the Agency, Agent Z has lost her memory, her security clearance and her authorisation. All that she's gained is Jacob, who is thoroughly in this shit now. Together they must work to uncover the truth, if any such thing even exists, in this erratic urban fantasy weird-fic. Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Australian time.
8 209The Hand of Sigmar. A Warhammer Fiction.
Adebar von Bolstedt was a normal young Aristocrat once. Third son of the middling von Bolstedt line of Altdorf, capital of the prestigious Empire at the heart of the Old World, but when a quarrel with his brother escalates he decides to leave his pampered home, and soon finds himself stranded in the countryside. When confronted about his presence he claims to be led by the God-King Sigmar, but with the name of the Protector of Mankind come his responsiblities. Soon Adebar finds himself tasked with ridding a town of a mad killer, and settling some lethal family quarrels.Word from the AuthorGreetings! The Hand of Sigmar plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This work will be shorter overall, partly because its born out of a sudden passion, partly because I thought I'd try my hand at a more comfortable story than the grim darkness of the 41st Millenium (psychotic murderer and fraudulent holyman included). Depending on how this does and my time allows more adventures may be coming.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.
