《A Daughter of Thanatos( Nico di Angelo )》Chapter 22

Nico di Angelo's P.O.V
I heard a scream and I looked back.
Clare was on the floor, unconscious. I ran over to her and picked her up bridal style. The rest of them crowded around me. "Is she okay?" Cole asked.
"Of course she is! That's why she screamed in pain before she went unconscious." Shadow said sarcastically.
"Oh, dear!" Aphrodite exclaimed. She rushed over and placed her hand over Clare's forehead. "She's burning up!"
"I'll take you five to one of my assistants." She led us to a room where a middle aged lady sat in the side of the room. She was seated at a desk and seemed to be looking at some documents.
"Miss. Margie, do you need anything?" She asked. Aphrodite nodded and made some room for Clare.
I laid Clarissa down, as gently as I could. The lady rushed over to Clare and checked her forehead, just like the goddess. "She seems to have a fever."
"This is..." She began. She turned Clare around and there was blood on her back. My eyes widened as I looked down at my bloody hands.
She lifted her shirt and the word 'promise' was carved on her back.
We all gasped at it? "H-How?" Aphrodite asked, baffled. Andy looked like she was about to cry and Shadow and Cole were still recovering from shock.
"I-I don't know." Shaking her head. She got up and went to get something in another room. "Do you guys have any ambrosia or nectar?" Aphrodite asked.
I nodded. I grabbed some from my backpack and went to Clare. I gently held her neck and put some ambrosia in her mouth. I moved her jaw so she could chew it. She swallowed and her breathing went back to normal. But it didn't stop the bleeding. Only lessened her fever.

Clarissa Walker's P.O.V
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Clara, how many promises will you make and never keep them." Violet said.
I was back at the playground again. Violet holding a more dangerous knife. "What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"It's nothing, Nico. I promise." I glared at her. "I keep my promises, if you didn't know."
She glared at me. "Are you sure about that, Clare?" I nodded. "LIAR!" She screamed.
The force of the sound waves caused the place to shake.
The scenery changed. I was looking at a younger me. I was riding my scooter down the street and just found a younger Violet, who was bruised and bleeding. "Are you okay!" Younger me asked.
She was crying and shook her head. "Daddy hurt me." Past me's eyes widened. I hugged her and she flinched. "Come on, I'll take you to my mommy. She's nice." Little Violet nodded and got up.
We walked back to my house and went inside. "MOM!!!" I yelled.
"Coming!" She ran to us. She gasped at Violet. "Oh, my! What happened to her? Are you alright?" She led Violet in and I followed.
The scenery changed again. This time, we were outside her house and the police just finished taking her father in.
"Thank you, Clara!" She smiled and happily cried in my shoulder. "You're welcome, Vi. I promise, your dad won't ever hurt you again. If he does come back, he'll have to go through me."
The scenery changed again. I don't know where I was though.
Violet was in the corner of the room and she was bruised and bleeding. Crying like there's no tomorrow.
"You bitch! You thought that you can get rid of me. You're," Punch. "fucking," Kick. "worthless!!!" He stomped his foot on her stomach. She coughed out blood and her breathing faultered.

"I wish you were never born! And I wish your mother never left me you!" He picked her up and started to choke her.
Violet's eyes rolled back and she stopped breathing. Her dad continued to beat her even though she was already dead.
Violet died. I broke my promise. I couldn't protect her this time.
The scenery changed back to the park.
Violet was in front of me, holding back her tears. "You broke your promise."
Nico di Angelo's P.O.V
Clare started to groan in pain. I took off the wet towel on her forehead. "Ow..." She groaned again.
Her eyes shot open and we exhaled. "What happened?"
She tried to get up, I pushed her back into bed. "You have a fever and you're injured. I don't think you should be getting up yet." I told her.
She groaned again. "Did you find out where Selene and her hubby are yet?" I shook my head.
"Not yet, but we will." I said. "Hey! Did you forget about us?" Shadow asked. Clare laughed, but groaned afterwards.
"I was so worried! Don't do that again!" Andy exclaimed. Clare rolled her eyes playfully. "Sorry."
Andy went over to her and hugged her. "You scared me." Andy started crying.
Clare flinched. "My back hurts..." Andy pulled away. "Who did this to you?" Andy asked.
Clare hesitated for a moment. "I-I don't know..." I sighed. "Get some rest." I told her. She nodded and closed her eyes.
I went outside to find Aphrodite. I went into her office and closed the door. "Um, can we know where Selene is?" She looked up and smiled.
"Of course." She laid a document down on her desk and slid it over to me. "She met this man named Jake Lewis."
"A handsome man, but has a minor defect." I looked at her confused. "What's his sickness?"
"He has something called psychosis. A mental illness." She looked down sadly.
"So you're saying that a moon goddess fell in love with a hot psycho?" I asked. She nodded.
"Isn't this great!" I sarcastically exclaimed.
"You guys should go. You don't have much time left." I thanked her and went back to Clarissa.

The Dungeon Traveler
I spent most of my life trying to get by with whatever happiness I could, that included alcohol, food, and porn.My death was unpleasant and humiliating. However, death is something we all need to go through. A bit like a proctology exam; necessary but never anything one wants to go through while it's happening.However, death was supposed to be the end of it. Either way, the pain, suffering, and failures were supposed to be over. I was supposed to wink out, or perhaps take a trip to a lovely afterlife!No, I ended up as a small stone, strapped to a table, while a pimple-faced teenager rubbed my facets and told me how 'lovely' I was. Last time I checked, birth wasn't supposed to be as embarrassing as death!Life as a dungeon core isn't all bad. I like watching lizard love triangles and snooping on militaristic dwarves; though there is that issue where I'm trying to free myself from the entanglements of the Gods....ok, yeah that last one is a bit of a problem. Completed and available on Amazon

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.

What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.
A fiction about itself and it's writer. Which is a very narcissic choice from the author, really, couldn't he have written anything else ? The cover was hastily made on gimp by the author. He has no rights to the image used on it. He doesn't have the artist's agreement for using it, either. Because he has no idea who's the artist.
