《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 5
Advertisement
The sun had just gone down, and Oliver was going around the cave and waking everyone up. Once everyone was awake, he looked to Yeo Fei and said, "You lead the way. You know where this man is located."
Yeo Fei nodded, and they all left the cave following him. While they were all walking Shado caught up with Sara and tried to start a conversation with her.
"Hey. My name is Shado, and I was talking to your sister earlier. She said you were into girls, and I think you are pretty. I was wondering if you would like to try and be in a relationship with me?" Shado asked.
"You are a pretty girl as well, Shado. I think we can try something. Plus, I am the feel kind of like the fifth wheel here being that I am the only one who is here that is of age that is single." Sara said.
"I know this will be different than most relationships since we are trapped on an island but, I think we can make it work." Shado said.
"I have no doubt. I wanted to try something with you the moment I first saw you. I just didn't want to make myself look foolish, so I thought I would make you make the first move." Sara said.
"Good to know. So, I guess we are going to try this then." Shado said as she kissed Sara on the cheek and then went back up to where her father was.
They were getting close to the enemy camp now, being that it was between them and where they needed to get. They all got quiet and followed Yeo Fei as stealthily as possible. They made it by the camp without any problem this time and now they could move faster to get to their location.

They soon made it to where they needed to be, and a man came out of a downed plane with a machine gun pointed at them. The man then realized that Yeo Fei was there, and he came out to talk to him.
"What is going on here Yeo Fei? It was only supposed to be you that I came here for." The man said.
"I am sorry Slade, but Fyers kidnapped my daughter, so she was here, and I found these other kids who shipwrecked here not too long ago, and I had to help them as well." Yeo Fei said.
"I am not here for the other kids. I understand your daughter but the rest of them, we can't help." Slade said.
"I think if you help us, it would be worth your while sir. You see, my siblings and I come from a rich family and our parents will pay you well for the return of us and our friends as well." Oliver said.
"That might change things. I could always use the extra money. So, what do you kids bring to the table while we are trying to find our way off this island?" Slade asked.
"Thea, Kara and I are decent at archery. Barry can help us with things that need a person who is quick. Laurel and Sara are good for look out duty. We don't know much about fighting, but we are willing to learn, and Yeo Fei has already been working with us some, and Shado has also offered to help." Oliver said.
"I will help you as well, being that all of us will have to work together to get off this island. We can't have someone that is not carrying their weight." Slade said and Oliver nodded knowing that they had found another person that would help them on their way to their destiny.

"So, is everything ok over there Ollie?" Laurel asked as he came back to their group.
"Yeah. He wanted nothing to do with us at first but then I explained that we all had our uses, and he was more than happy to have our help then. It didn't hurt that I offered him a reward if he could get us home." Oliver said.
"You know we can't go home yet Ollie. That is not what Novu wanted." Kara said.
"I know that, but he was going to leave us behind if I didn't offer him something. It was the first things that popped into my mind." Oliver said.
"That was really smart to tell you the truth. If he thinks that he is going to get money for our return, he will be willing to help us. I assume he will be teaching us to fight as well?" Barry asked and Oliver nodded.
"Well, that is a good thing then. He looks like her would be a good fighter. He looks like he would be like a Navy Seal or something like that. Those guys are nasty when it comes to a fight." Barry said.
"I know he is not Navy. He sounds like he is Australian. He might be the equivalent of a Navy Seal though." Oliver said.
"Either way, I think it would be good to learn all of the fighting styles that we can. We have three different people here to teach us now. That could mean three different styles as well. Then we will join up with this League of Assassins, and possibly learn many more styles, since it sounds like they would know many styles." Laurel said.
"Laurel is right. Hey. Has anyone seen Sara?" Oliver asked.
"Not in a while, but I don't see Shado either, and I saw them talking earlier, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are off somewhere making out. You know how Sara is." Laurel said and they all nodded.
Not long later Sara and Shado came around from the other side of the plane and all the friends just shook their heads and smiled. They should have known where the two girls went off to.
"I am guessing you two had fun then?" Laurel asked her sister quietly.
"Yes, we did." Sara said with a smile.
"Alright everyone. Come on in the plane and get comfortable. Get some rest, because bright and early tomorrow morning we will start to train you so hopefully you will be able to help us get off this island." Slade said and they all entered the plane and found places to sleep for the night, knowing that they were well on their way to completing their destiny with the training they were going to get over the next couple of year.

Ravyn's Nights
Claire's life led her to love. Love led her to death. Death began her eternal struggle to retain both her love and her humanity through five centuries of endless nights. Book 1 covers 1583-1690. "Ravyn's Nights" is a six book series, with each book covering a different century. Book 6 was actually started first, and it takes place in the near future, bringing the story to a final conclusion. I then started writing the rest of the series when I decided that I wanted to share the details of the life that made her into who she is in Book 6. At the time of posting the first chapter of the series, books 1-2-3 are completed and books four, five and six are in various states of completion. There is currently a novella following a side character that does include a few crossover chapters featuring the main character. The novella will be included in the completed versions of books 4 and 5.
8 197The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.
8 179Game Dungeon
A recently deceased man finds himself imprisoned in a prismatic gem, confused and missing pieces of his memory he wishes to play video games, but to his horror, he is stuck in a world of sword and magic. Hello! I am the writer of Game Dungeon thanks for your feedback! Although my intentions were not to insult the reader I can see how someone would think that way. I have no plans to change it as of now and it's better to put it out there as a warning that I use a lot of words with similar meanings but are used very irregularly. Honestly speaking my English teacher was weird and a lot of words I use are more complicated than they need to be, but again something I was drilled into was not reusing words apart from "I".
8 169Solarite

8 196I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
8 182The Shadowlands: Farra
In a land swallowed by shadows, a girl is plucked from her tribe and enslaved. Presented with a precarious opportunity, she must avoid being crushed by the darkness and ill-intent of others in order to find a path for herself.
