《Marinette One-Shots》A butterfly -Maribat?-
Advertisement
Marinette and her class had gone to Gotham, including Lila. Not to long ago, Lila had turned all but Marinette's TRUE friends against her, as such, Marinette was constantly escorted by her own 'MPS' including Kagami, Chloe Luka, Nino , and Alix.
Their net tour was in the Wayne Gardens, One second, their tour guide (Who's name was Dick?) was leading them, talking about.... well, whatever it is that tour guides talk about, and then, they caught sight of a butterfly.
Not just any kind of butterfly, but a purple butterfly. So, as any Parisian would, they all took off in different directions screaming....
Anywho, for Dick he was doing a routine tour, well, it was in French, but whatever, he was leading the tour group through the gardens, when suddenly, they all took off, screaming and running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
Kagami giggled, both at the gobsmacked expression on Dicks face, and at her classmates. Leaning over, she said "Look at all those chickens!" in a child-ish tone, and the MPS burst out laughing.
Dick walked over, and asked, "What's going on?" as he stood by them, he noticed that the others stood.... protectively around a girl with Bluebell eyes, and Navy-Blue hair, who was wearing a Harley Quinn themed outfit. . . all she needed now was a traumatic past, and BOOM Bruce would adopt her- the girl with pink hair responded, interrupting his thoughts "There was a purple butterfly." she said, as if that solved the question.
Dick however, didn't know what the significance of that was, and just looked even more confused, it reminded Chloe of a lost puppy. She laughed, and said, "They thought it was an Akuma, but we're half way across the world, so.... it probably wasn't." Dick blinked. "An Akuma?" he asked, still confused, the only boy with the groupgasped

"You don't know what an Akuma is?!" he almost yelled, the girl, in the center, spoke up. "Lu, Gami, Lix, Chlo. He isn't from Paris, be mindful of that." it was obvious to Dick that she was the leader of the group. She turned back to Dick,
"An Akuma is a.... possessed butterfly that prays on negative emotions. Turning those who dare feel anything negative, Heartbreak, Greif, Guilt, Pain, Sorrow, Loneliness, really any negative emotion, and turns them into monsters."
Dick just stood there blinking at them as if they'd grown another head.
"Hey Tim, what's an Akuma?" Dick asked his adopted brother. Tim looked up from his coffee, then back at his coffee, and said,
"An Akuma is a magical butterfly that has only been spotted in Paris for he last.... 189 years. 189 years ago they were spotted in Argentina. That's the earliest record I've found of an Akuma. Why?"
"It's nothing. The tour group saw a purple butterfly and flipped out." Dick said as he walked out.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

The Goddess’ Chosen
Destiny is a strange force indeed. One simple act can create a ripple, one simple change can cause a cataclysm. One act outside of the individual would be enough to alter one's life no matter how insignificant that life may be. This is the adventures of Allisa Reed, a young girl from our world who found the legendary sword Excalibur and taken to the magical world of Avalon. On the other side of the portal with her friends by her side, Allisa is forced into a conflict she is not prepared for, ordained as the Goddess Chosen to bring about one of two possible outcomes; Salvation or destruction. ------------------------------------ Author's notes: This is more or less the first draft of this story. Currently working on a second draft. Spelling and grammar is definitely my biggest weakness, particularly in my earlier stuff. I've done some editing and hopefully have ironed out most of these mistakes in my older chapters though I'm fairly certain there are some mistakes still left. This story is ongoing. Updates are slow as I publish when a chapter is ready. Expect long chapters for most of it. Just sort of my style. Only available on Royal road.com
