Clarissa Walker's P.O.V
"OH. MY. GAWD." Andy said. She looked at me shocked after I told her what had happened. "No way...." she said. "I know right." I sighed. "Your so lucky!!!!" She squealed.
I looked back at her, baffled. "How could you say such a thing!" I said, offended. "I thought you were my friend!" I yelled at her. I hit her on the arm. "Ouch! No need to get physical..." She said as she rubbed her arm.
"You so deserved that!" Shadow said, while walking over here with Irissa next to her. "Hey!" Irissa greeted us. "Did not!" Andy shot back. "Did too!" Shadow challenged her.
"Hey." I replied back to Irissa. "So, what are you guys doing?" I asked her. She shrugged. "I guess we were looking for you and Andy. But since we found you guys already, nothing really."
I sighed, it was kind of boring here and nothing too exciting to do. "What can we do here?" I asked Irissa. "Pretty much training to stay alive and to prepare for any prophecies." I nodded. "Have you found your weapon yet?"
She asked. I forgot to get one cause I had to chase down Andy. "Nope." She looked shocked at me. "We need to find yours." While Andy and Shadow were bickering, Irissa and I went to find me a weapon.
"Okay, how do you kno-" I was cut off short by something that caught my eye. I walked over to it and pulled it out. It was a sword that was shiney and dark.
"I guess you've found it." Irissa said as she walked over to me. I nodded slowly as I examined the weapon a little more thoroughly. 'soul catcher'. It read. Oooh, it's the right weight, size and shape. It looked really deadly... Cool...

It was perfect. "It's perfect..." I whispered. Irissa looked at me with a 'duhh' look. "Of course it is! It's supposed to be like that." I nodded. I found my weapon, now what?
"What's it's name?" She asked. "Soul catcher." I told her. She beamed. "Awesome! It totally fits you." I smiled.
"So, what should we do now?" I asked. "We should break those two up before it gets worse." She said, as she pointed at the two girls quarrelling. I laughed. "Let's go."
We walked to them and stared at them. "I'm telling Clara on you! Clara!!!" She yelled. She ran over to me and pouted. "Clara, Shadow's being mean. Tell her to stop. OH and say sorry too!" I sighed.
I swear, she may look 15, but is truly a 3-year-old in the inside. "Shadow..." I sighed. Shadow looked at me with wide eyes. "Don't tell me she was actually serious."
I sighed again and she groaned. "Fine! I'll stop, but I'm not saying sorry." Andy stood there, pushing out her bottom lip. Tears welled up in her eyes, 'til one tear dropped.
"Ugh, fine! SORRY." Shadow yelled. Andy wiped away her tear and smiled. "That was too easy..." She gave us one last smile and skipped away.
"S-she tricked me..." Shadow said, tryong to believe it. Her face turned red and if we were in a cartoon, her ears would have puffed out smoke.
"COME BACK HERE TWERP!!!!!" Shadow screamed. Irissa and I backed away quickly. Andy turned her head and saw how angry Shadow was. She spinted out of sight, but Shadow still ran after her.
"Those two are nice to each other..." Irissa nervously laughed. I laughed. "Yup, they sure are."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We hanged out a little while longer 'til Chiron trotted up to us and called Andy, Shadow, and I to the big house. Before we left, we waved Irissa good-bye.

"Did we do something wrong?" I asked him. He shook his head. "No. You were called in because of the prophecy." Oh, the prophecy.
"The others are already there." I began to ask,"What's the prophecy?" He smiled. "You'll hear it when we arrive." I nodded.
Andy and Shadow have been quiet the whole time. "Are you guys alright?" They nodded. "I've never been part of a quest before. I'm just shocked." I smiled. Her face brightened just talking about it.
"I am so scared! What happens if we die? What happens if one of us gets really hurt? How long are we staying for? Are we gonna be okay? Clare, what hapens if something happens to you or Shadow? I know for sure that it would be the death of me!" I frowned at the thought.
"We shouldn't think about it like that. We should be pretty proud that the fates chose us to do this heroic act, right?" She smiled back at me and I did the same. I really hope that none of us gets too hurt...
When we arrived there, I mentally slapped myself. There stood an akward boy and..... Nico. I swear, everywhere I end up, he has to be there too. I groaned mentally. I looked at him and rolled my eyes. Great, we'll have to work together...
Then a girl with frizzy red hair came out. "This is Rachel, our oracle." She looked over at us and green smoke came out of her mouth as her eyes glowed green.
Two of the underworld
One of light
Child of thieves
Child of the fight
All shall journey to bring back the night
One is lost, One is found
Denial shall bring Olympus to the ground
(Thx @Emmy_The_Lynx)
We stood there, shocked. "Okay, so we have all the children, now how about the night..." Nico said. "Ahh, yes. I forgot to tell you... The moon goddess, Selene, is missing."
"What?!!" We all screamed, except the awkward boy. The goddess, Selene, is missing. We have to get her back... Oh god. I mentally sighed. "Fuck... This is awesome!!" Shadow squealed. We looked at her confused.
"We're going on a quest. Woo-hoo!" I rolled my eyes at her. "When should we leave?" Nico asked. "You must return her before the next full moon. If you don't return her by then, Helios must set the sun and the world shall live in eternal darkness." I groaned.
"Isn't this just dandy!" I said sarcastically. "When's the next full moon?" Nico asked, ignoring me like usual. "This coming Sunday. You have a week to return the goddess." We all nodded.
"You should leave tomorrow." We nodded again. "You can go now...." The three of us left and began to talk. "Are you guys nervous?" Andy asked. I nodded. "I'm not. This is the perfect opportunity to show people I'm a child of Ares." I smiled.
"We should meet up again later." Shadow said. "Yeah." We said our good-byes and separated.
Okay!!!! We got 500+ reads!!! Whoop, whoop!! And they are going on a quest. Thank you @Emmy_The_Lynx for the prophecy. All credit for prophecy goes to her. :) Oh, Megan Nicole will be playing Clarissa. if you dont want her you could just keep imagining how she looks like. so please vote, fan and comment.

RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
