《UMA ESTÓRIA DANATUÁ (ficção - português)》A SAINTE
Advertisement
Tudo tem o seu tempo certo, mesmo que eu não saiba disso.
A demiana parou na trilha, os olhos perdidos no céu. Há alguns dias vinha sentindo essa amargura, esse vazio no coração. Era como uma perda, um pulso inconstante e fraco, mas assim mesmo, terrivelmente poderoso e dominador.
Baixou os olhos com um demorado suspiro, observando as copas das árvores mais além. Devagar desfraldou as asas e se elevou, ao perceber pessoas que vinham para aqueles lados.
Não estava a fim de ver ou conversar com quem quer que fosse.
O dia estava brilhante e lindo. Era inverno, e as nuvens eram ralas, como se fosse uma coalhada azul, que os homens chamavam de céu de brigadeiro.
Sorriu, subindo alto no céu, ficando acima das nuvens. A visão de lá era como se elas formassem um colchão macio e branco, cheio de morrinhos. Mas, para o norte via nuvens do tipo cirrus cúmulos, finas e lindas. Voou para lá, e se deixou entre elas.
Foi nesse momento em que o viu.
O anjo estava parado ao longe, examinando-a. então parecendo ter se decidido, se aproximou.
De súbito estava ao seu lado, observando-a com cuidado.
- Como está se sentindo hoje? – ele perguntou, para estranheza da demiana.
E realmente ela o olhou confusa e perplexa.
- O que um anjo quer aqui, nesse planeta solitário?
- Vim pelo seu chamado...
- E que chamado seria esse? – Árgrila sorriu descrente.
- Você está procurando uma saída dessa vida, mas sabe a gravidade de uma atitude. Então, vim lhe oferecer um ponto de saída.
Árgrila olhou o anjo demoradamente.
- Quem o enviou?
- Miguel...
- Ah, o poderoso Miguel. Um ponto de saída. Há alguém precisando entrar?
- Há sim Árgrila.
- Uma demiana guerreira que não terminou sua missão, e que foi morta por um demônio...

- Você está falando de Éfrera... Todos já ouvimos. Senti muito por ela.
- Sei de sua irmã, que estava sob o poder de um caído.
- Sim, de um caído amargo. Foi Éfrera que a libertou, quando matou aquele louco.
- Sabemos!
- Sei que sabem... – ela sorriu. - Se eu aceitar, ainda terei que ficar aqui, neste mundo de vibração tão pesada?
- Lhe será oferecido um lugar mais leve, onde poderá se recuperar com mais rapidez.
- Poderiam oferecer isso a todos os caídos – falou com uma nota de acusação.
- Se engana. Provavelmente seria maléfico para eles. Eles fizeram a escolha deles, e você está frente à uma.
Árgrila o observou, e sorriu por fim, avaliando com muito cuidado o que o enviado de Miguel lhe oferecia.
Como se estivesse indiferente o enviado a observou com cuidado, vendo o quanto era adequada. Ela parecia ter o corpo preparado para receber uma guerreira como Éfrera. Na verdade, por feliz coincidência, eram muito parecidas, a não ser os cabelos vermelhos como fogo tomados de ondas grandes, como se o fogo realmente se revolvesse ali, bem como as sardinhas no rosto e no colo dos seios e braços. Também ela era um pouco mais alta, e os olhos eram de um violeta predominante.
Diria que, para uma vigilante, era de extrema beleza.
- Aceito o acordo – Árgrila falou por fim.
- Que bom que aceitou... – o enviado sorriu satisfeito.
- E quando acontecerá?
- Já está acontecendo, Árgrila – ele informou.
Nem teve tempo para se preocupar ou se encher de receios. Uma luz cresceu em torno de si, e fez o mundo desaparecer. Era como uma liberdade, um retirar de um peso.
Em paz sorriu.
- Deu paz para a minha irmã, e agora para mim. Obrigado, Éfrera – sussurrou enquanto sua mente parecia crescer, e seres de luz surgiam ao seu lado.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.

We continue our research, nights and days have passed, however all of our research only lead to one thing and one thing only the Philosopher's Stone. It could generate energy without having to take any energy. Basically, it broke The Laws of Thermodynamic and Einstein's Law Conservation of Mass Energy, no, all the rule and law that we know of, doesn't apply to the Philosopher's Stone. But how? Where can we found this crimson colored gem? 2094 ADWe the researchers at the Genesis Lab finally found our answer. The Philosopher's Stone is not a Gem or any other precious mineral.

If the ancient people used human sacrifice as the toll to open the portal. Then, we the modern people could simply use some sort of mini-sized black hole with specific coordinate to force this hidden life-form come to this world. Fundamentally, we just needed to mimic the portal that Gods himself open to answer their offering. Allright, let's do this. Summer 2095 ADEverything is progressing as we wanted.Every trivial thing on our side seems to be working in order.We can commence the operation 'Child's Play' early next year.-LB-

Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny.

At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime
