《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》The Return of Warriors - Chapter 7: A Drink of Love
Advertisement
The boat slowly drifted on the big sea. The night sky imprints the moon and stars on the lyrical sea. Oh! The heart of love suddenly seemed to come back to life after so many years of silence! Everyone laughed and talked with wine and fruit cake on the ship. There is nothing better than the feeling of being immersed in the flow of the sea, with the moon wind and indifferent silver clouds. Aris stood with his back to the side of the ship, leaning back to admire this peaceful scene.
Megara walked over to him from the crowd with a glass of wine in hand. She turned to look at Aris, who was very comfortable handing over the wine glass, and said:
"Drink?"
Aris smiled, then graciously accepted. He brought it to his mouth and took a sip. Aris was about to finish the whole glass, but Megara was able to pull his hand back. Aris was surprised but didn't say anything. Megara suddenly smiled at him, then took back the half-empty glass of wine. She said:
“Hey, mine!”
With that, she drank the rest of the wine. The empty glass was placed somewhere nearby. Then Megara also stood with her back to the side of the ship like him, gently letting her soul follow the sea breeze. After a while, she looked back at the singing crowd over there. Her face wavered slightly. She nudged Aris' hand, following her with his eyes. Megara said softly:
“Look at them… How happy they are!”
"Who?", Aris didn't understand at first, but then came to know it thoroughly. “Ah… That's right!”
They here that Megara and Aris are talking about are Herone and Phalanx. They had found each other in their late ages, and now in their final moments, they too were happy. That smile, those eyes… not everyone has it! Unconsciously, both Meg and Aris reflected to themselves. Are they forever living a wasteful life?

Megara in a daze reached out her hand to touch his chest. Both of them looked at each other. She could hear her heart pounding inside that sturdy chest. Aris's side is also moving. He felt something change in his body. He took her hand and said softly:
“Meg… You're drunk.”
“We don't have much time together. So why not get drunk together?"
Whether it was due to the ale, or her own internal strength, Megara said every word with the calmest and most careless expression of her life. The two stared at each other in silence for a while. But then emotions still reign! Aris placed a deep and sweet kiss on her lips. Meg didn't stop her either. She warmly accepted it as a precious gift. Then Aris smiled, he looked at her with a passionate look. Not sure if it was the yeast or herself, Aris said quietly:
"Then let's get drunk together!"
With that, Aris and Megara left the singing crowd. The two made their way back to her private room.
The candle suddenly went out, and then another love blossomed.

Raul The Reality-Reshaper
Raul Medrano had believed he was a normal human his entire life until the day he turned 21. The night before his 21st birthday he had a strange dream and acquired something dubbed a "system" that swore it would help him adjust to his status as a "higher being" and a "reality reshaper". And so began Raul's life as an immensely powerful adventurer who has and uses a variety of powers to change his world, and the grander omniverse for the better. This story features an overpowered protagonist who meets and faces off against other overpowered entities, but it begins with the protagonist in a small world where he swiftly becomes one of the big dogs so conflict, in the beginning, isn't going to be especially challenging. This story also mixes elements from my own distinct setting, the multiverse in which "A Solitary God" takes place, with elements from the settings created by people over on the NSFW CYOA (Choose your own adventure) subreddit, such as TroyxPage, and specific CYOAs such as "Goddess of Mankind" and "Love Azathoth" into one distinct, wholly original story. When relevant I'll post links to the CYOAs a chapter references in the author's notes section. Image credit: I got the image for the cover from Pixabay. This story was posted originally on ScribbleHub and will continue to be posted both there and elsewhere.

A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)
