《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 168

After church let out, the crew gathered outside where Mari, Zari and Kuasa were already waiting.
"So, our totems start glowing at the same time Elvis's guitar does. That can't be a coincidence." Mari said and Oliver nodded.
"Agreed. Elvis is the bearer of the Death totem." Oliver said.
"Every totem is growing stronger in response to Mallus's threat. We need that totem." Mari said.
"Hold on, now that we know who has the Death totem, we need to operate a bit more carefully." Rip said.
"What do you mean?" Kuasa asked.
"There are certain people throughout history who's effect was so large that interfering with the wrong events could have huge consequences. Elvis Presley is one of though people, since there is a reason he's called the king." Rip said.
"He's right, Elvis is the one who really put rock on the map, without him, Rock and Roll never gets out of memphis." Nate said.
"Exactly, we must be careful not to do something that could end up tanking Elvis's career, since not only could that create a rather significant aberration, but it could also further weaken the prison Mallus is trapped in." Rip said.
"Let's get back to the ship and work out a plan." Oliver said and they all nodded.
"We gotta hit." Quentin said as exited his office into the precinct.
"What's going on?" Thea asked from where she and Roy were talking.
"One of our officers just received word from a contact. The Blackout Gang will be convening for a weapons buy tonight in Orchid Bay." Quentin said.
"Sounds like our best chance to get our hands on the new weapon." Roy said.
"Take down the supplier while we're at it." Thea added and Quentin nodded.

"Get the unit ready to move out." Quentin said as the cops began moving out.
"Roy, hold up a second." Quentin said.
"Yeah captain?" Roy asked.
"I think that considering what we're dealing with here, you should get your other unit on this as well." Quentin said and Roy nodded.
"Give us the location and we'll give it to them. Thea and I will be wearing our blues though, since we don't want to raise suspicion." Roy said and Quentin nodded.
"Let's do this." Quentin said.
"So, Elvis is the bearer of the long lost death totem. How does that even begin to make sense?" Mari said.
"Maybe the totem was attracted to Elvis because it sensed a connection to the dead with him. Maybe something he hasn't moved past." Oliver said as all eyes turned to Nate.
"What?" Nate asked.
"Not only are you the historian, but you're also the resident Elvis expert. Any ideas?" Zari asked.
"Maybe his brother." Nate said.
"Jesse?" Oliver asked.
"How do you know the name of Elvis's brother?" Laurel asked her husband, who shrugged.
"I watched Full House as a kid." Oliver said and everyone chuckled.
"Fair enough. But anyways, what if when Elvis uses the totem, with his music, he's actually summoning Jesse's spirit from the grave." Nate said.
"Then he'll be reluctant to give it up and we can't just steal the guitar." Oliver said.
"So what do you recommend?" Rip asked.
"We go and see him in person, confirm our theory. If we're right, then I think I can convince Elvis to give up the totem." Oliver said.
"How?" Ray asked.
"I know a thing or two about dealing with ghosts. I've had my own ghosts since I first set foot on Lian Yu." Oliver said.
"He's right. If anyone can relate to Elvis's pain if we're right, it's him." Constantine said.
"Looks like we've got a plan." Laurel said.
"So, we know Oliver's going to see Elvis, but who else?" Ray asked.
"Me, please." Nate said and Rip nodded.
"Might as well make it a double date then." Laurel said and Zari nodded.
"Okay then, let's get to work." Oliver said.

Currently participating in the April 2022 Royal Road Writeathon. This fiction will resume in May 2022 When Methuselah’s star explodes, the world burns under the impact of an extinction level event. Emmett Carter just wants one thing - to gather his family at the farm and keep them safe. Rated [M] for Mature Audiences. Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
