《Vikings, Mini Drabbles》Ubbe: Daughter with the dreams
Advertisement
You knew mother said something about not coming home, leaning you at the door gazing over the street, your bare feet pressed on the cold earth. 'Y/n.' You turned your head around, looking to Ubbe, your father who crouched down behind you. 'What are you looking at?' He asked.
'I'm not looking, I'm waiting for mother.' It wasn't all that perfectly said. Ubbe wrapped his arm around your chest and lifted you up in his arms. His other arm laid around your legs, causing you to lay horizontal. You giggled because he tickled his nose against your chest.
'She isn't coming home tonight. It's you and me.' He said with a smile and you smiled instant back. He putted you down on the bed, snuggling yourself on the bed.
'Is she coming back?' You asked quietly. Ubbe laid down aside you and your innocent eyes looked up to your father.
'She's always coming back, just like I always come back.' He promised you, placing a kiss on your hair. You squeezed your eyes together until you floated to dreamland.
The dream was a little scary; you stood in the middle of fighting people and were scared to dead. You looked around, hoping on seeing your father or mother but there was nobody around. A man dropped down on the ground and you yelled for the blood that dripped from his armor. 'Mother!' You screamed loudly. 'Father!'
'Y/n, wake up.' It was a voice somewhere in the distant. You started to cry, stumbling back over the dead bodies. 'Y/n!' You opened your eyes, gazing in the darkness, feeling the little tears rolling over your eyes. 'It was just a dream.' Ubbe whispered. You whimpered, crawling yourself closer to Ubbe and snuggling against his chest. He laid his arm around you, carefully stroking your back. You sobbed against his chest before lifting your head and looked up to your father.

'There was a fight, and you weren't there and I was scared.' You whispered. He strokes a strand of wet hair out of your face, looking at you in the darkness.
'It's a nightmare, you will never have to fight, you will be the princess.' He tried to cheer you up.
'But I want to fight, so I can fight my bad dreams.' You stated tired, yawning mouth wide open. Ubbe pulled your closer and you snuggled your face in de crook of his neck, wrapping your little arms around it.
'You can be both.' He suggested.
'Can I?' You asked.
'I know a good story about a girl that became a princess,' He began. You closed your eyes, listening to what your father told you. 'I never saw somebody fight like her, fearless, gracious and when she looked at me she smiled. She was no Viking, no Christian, she was just a lonely soul looking for a life. I got hurt, she helped me and I brought her here,' he felt silence. You wanted to ask something but your thoughts were already so far away. 'I married her and she became a princess. Now she is a queen and has a little princess waiting home that is slaying her bad dreams.' He placed his kiss against your hair. You took a very deep breath and when you released it you drifted entirely away. 'You can be both, I'm gonna keep your dreams safe.' You didn't hear that but you slept like a little rose for the rest of the night. And when you opened your eyes, still tired when the sun came up you still lied in your father's arms, only your mother was there and you squeezed your eyes back together, brave enough to battle that dream again, only ... he didn't came back.

Magnus
Updates daily at 23:06 UTC. 2/1/2021 NOTE! This trilogy is being published by Aethon Books starting with book one on 5/1/2021. All books have been removed from RoyalRoad. This story was posted on RR in its entirety before being removed. Magnus Cromwell kills for a living. He’s organized, professional, efficient. Like a machine. But when his family’s life is on the line? That’s something else. That calls for the kind of warm-blooded vengeance that scorches earth and summons tungsten rods from space, leaves a whole lot of melted flesh, and no one to tell the tale. It should've been a blue milk run. As by-the-book as it gets. With his sister Nina out safe and the opposition decimated by hypersonic gunfire, MC wondered where they got the guts to even try. Then something hits him. Lays him out cold, and leaves him waking up to a fantasyland with nothing but his armor and a half-written note to guide him. It's a strange place where even stranger predators eye him for their next meal. Where his life’s on a timer, and where the darkest horrors haunt his dreams, painting visions of death. There's no right day to mess with Magnus Cromwell. But the universe sure managed to pick the absolute worst one. --- - MC is stone-cold, strong(OP), and gets even stronger, but he'll still face his fair share of challenges, both internal and external. - LitRPG-lite. No stats and an unconventional system. Expect abilities and progressions, but there will only ever be a handful of them. - Science Fiction and Fantasy collide, with a touch of mystery, Lovecraft, and body horror. - Professionally painted art scenes! - This series is finished. A Huge thank you to RoyalRoader MikeWe for the banner, and to NoDragons for his help editing the synopsis.

Despondent Divinity
There exists a Great Seal which split the world in two, one half ravaged by the Darkness, the other a safe haven of Light. Since the collapse of the old world, 20,000 years have passed, and the world watches on as their only protection from the Plague of Plagues slowly dissipates. Only the strong may survive the oncoming Demon horde, and the forgotten prince, Jack Calmira, fears he may not have what it takes. In a world where weakness is punished by death, what are weak men to do? Author's Note: Expect a chapter or two every month, but I'll get faster eventually. This story isn't a Wuxia, but it has a lot of eastern influence. The MC isn't OP and is flawed. Less action, more character driven. Constructive criticism would be appreciated as it's my first story. Chinese culture has inspired a lot of the novel, but much of it is an amalgamation of different cultures, some made up and some not. Think Xianxia + Shounen with a mix of western and eastern fantasy elements.

And that wasn't all in this new world I had found myself in people could get stronger by means of interacting with a strange System that had some similarities with the games that I used to play back on Earth and I had to make use of this to survive and create a place where other members of my new species could settle when they arrived.
