《VIKING PRINCESS》Chapter Twenty-Eight
Advertisement
As Grace was eating she had started to think to Ivar and Hvitserk. She wished that Hvitserk had just gone with her and Ubbe. Part of her was glad she left and stayed with Ubbe as she trusted.
She then thought back to the words of Lagertha as she looked at her. Lagertha was talking to Ubbe of who would glance over at her. She smiled as she looked back down at her porridge as she had guessed Ubbe told Lagertha.
"I can't thank you enough for this, Lagertha." She said as Lagertha shook her head. "No need. I will take care of you for as long as your here." She nodded as she scooped the last bit of the porridge.
She sat back in her chair and closed her eyes with a big grin. "Come on, it hasn't been that long." Ubbe said patting her on the shoulder as Lagertha watched. "Brother, I don't think you know how tired I was of bread."
They laughed together as Lagertha stood to go back to her room. "I will leave you two to talk." Grace nodded and looked at Ubbe. "Later can we train." He nodded and jumped up and grabbed a bow and arrow.
"Why don't we make you on of your own." She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Why can't I just have your old one." "Because, if you make one it will be your own. It will be your creation." She stood and grabbed the bowl as a thrall hurried over to take it.
"Well, let go get wood." She said as he jumped again and walked to the door and opened it. She smiled as he was as giddy as a child to help her make a bow.

She followed behind him as they made their way to the woods. "What are you going to do cut down a tree." He laughed to her as he picked up a heavy branch that had fallen.
"This will be it. Now let head back and you grab a knife." She sighed and nodded as Ubbe walked back and sat outside the great hall. She walked over to some of the builders and stood hesitant.
"Could I borrow your blade?" She asked the man who looked towards and quickly nodded. He handed it over and she smiled as a thanks. "I got you a knife."
He grabbed it from her and started to cut it down and add places for the arrows. She sat there watching incase she would have to make one later when he was gone. "I want you to take this and add it to each end."
She took a skinny piece of rope and tied it to one end then tried to the other. "I can't get it!" She yelled in frustration. Ubbe held back a laugh as he grabbed it from her and tied it.
"It only because your taller." She said as he shook his head. He knew it was an excuse because she had short arms. He liked to spend time with her so he wanted to make her a bow.
He wanted her to know he was there and would never leave her.

Realm of Monsters
In a land ruled by vile monsters, where death is common and life is cruel, one outcast endeavors to have it all. When misfortune drags the odd goblin Stryg from his forest home and into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade, he must try and adapt to a world that only sees him as a dimwit savage. Stryg finds himself embroiled in a school of magic, where an aristocrat's smile is filled with deceit and the simplest of remarks may lead to death threats. Yet nothing will stop him from aspiring to his beliefs of glory: power, honor, and food with salt. As Stryg navigates through the muddled grey waters of the Ebon Realm, he will learn that some monsters lurk everywhere.

8 241ROACH- rising pestilence
A weary mind awakens in an unfamiliar body, lost, confused, scared, and very far from home. He doesn't know where he is, he isn't sure what he may become, and his stomach growls hungrily. But he knows one thing. He must feed and he isn't too bothered on how, only when. Through his struggles to survive trying to take his place in this world. It, the world will be forever changed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved) Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking). (Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences). A chapter tends to come out every fortnight, however sometimes it may be sooner or later, It depends on how lazy I'm feeling or how busy I am. Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness. PPs. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well. PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons.
8 110It's About the Journey
Alegría "Joy" Rodriguez-Thayer had been many things: a typical American corporate drone, an armchair linguist, a starving musician, and most recently, struggling to make ends meet with a mid-tier non-profit job after being widowed at 40, dreams of world travel stifled and ultimately shattered by a lifetime of missed opportunity. In another time and place, schoolgirl Izumi Yoshiko looked forward to her Coming of Age Day, having lived her whole life in the rural town of Takasane-machi in the land of Mikata-no-kuni. Being one of the few in her town born pureblooded human, she eagerly awaited the prophecy that she would become host to a "reborn soul".With their meeting, they set off to go see this great new world and make new friends along the way. The destination doesn't matter: it's about the journey.
8 228True Mana Sovereign
The life wasn't nice to Daniel Taylor - it tried to make him miserable, make him give up and destroy his will. But he fought back, fought back and won. For the sake of the ones he cared about, the ones he loved and cherished. He thought that, at last, he can relax, that the happiness will last. It didn't. Betrayed by his closest, despaired from hopelessness, confused from impossibility and raged from everything, he died in a way he could never expect, could never fathom... could never forgive. He started to hate the world, hate humanity, and even himself. His burning anger and his dark hatred didn't leave him even when he was reborn anew - in the world of mana - the source of magic, of unlimited power. The power he will get for himself, to be above anyone else. Not to protect. Not to bring justice. Just to be. Cover- Image by kalhh from Pixabay
8 145The Worst
A try on a virtual reality oriented story, about a guy who's absolutely mundane and anti-social but through FSK a VRMMO finds himself beingone of the worst people on the net. Maybe it's just stress relief or trying to have fun but this one is one step closer to writing a little better.You might find words that have mistaken letters in them or grammarbut I'm pretty confident in my english although it's not my main language.Lastly I would like to say report that the novel will have Mature contentof the worst sort, so please refrain from reading it unless you are an adult.
