《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.

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.
