《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 11
Advertisement
After the group had been out and found out what they could about the island they all went back to the plane so that they could talk about what they found. It had been a lot to take in at the beginning because they found out that the island was a lot bigger than they thought it was. If it hadn't been for the time that they had on their hands right now, they might have never had the chance to see what was on other parts of the island.
"So, what was your favorite part of the island that we didn't know about yet?" Oliver asked Laurel.
"I would have to say that little lake with a waterfall. I think we could definitely put that to use at another time when we are more alone." Laurel said with a smile.
"I like the way you think. I think we can definitely find our way back there." Oliver said.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, you two." Sara said as she couldn't help but laugh at them.
"What does it mean when you say "Get your mind out of the gutter?" Thea asked.
"You will learn one day Speedy, but for now, you don't need to know." Sara said and she couldn't help but laugh because the group kept on screwing up and saying things like that in front of Thea.
"You know if we keep on talking like this we might as well go on and tell her some things. We can't just keep on saying that she will learn later. Plus, she doesn't need to get home when she is 17 and know nothing about sex." Laurel said quietly to Oliver.
"I know. I'm just not ready to take all of her innocence from her yet. I never thought that she would kill someone at the age of twelve and it looks like she has taken more than one life." Oliver said.

"She is doing what she needs to in order to survive Ollie. I think by the end of this she will be an even better person than she is now and she will have learned so much because of her experiences here and in the League of Assassins." Laurel said.
"I guess you are right. I will start telling her some things. Just not yet." Oliver said as he kissed his girlfriend who was always smarter than he was.
"So, what was your favorite part of the island, Barry?" Kara asked.
"I liked that submarine that we found. I would have liked to have taken a closer look at it so that we could know where it was from and all of that." Barry said.
"You are such a geek, but I still love you." Kara said.
"What was your favorite part then?" Barry asked.
"I liked the monastery that we found. It kind of reminded me of some places on Krypton." Kara said quietly to Barry, who just nodded.
"What about you Sara? What was your favorite part?" Barry asked.
"I have to agree with Oliver and Laurel. I liked the lake with the waterfall." Sara said.
"Sounds like you. Always so horny." Laurel said quietly beside her sister who could only smile.
"What did you like Shado?" Yeo Fei asked.
"I liked the monastery. It kind of reminded me of home." Shado said.
"Yes. I have to agree with you there. What about you Thea?" Yeo Fei asked.
"I liked the submarine, like Barry did. Maybe we can go back one day and find out more about it." Thea said.
"I would be happy to go with you Thea, because I want to know more about it too." Barry said and Thea smiled at him.

"Thank you Barry." Thea said.
"I don't know what all of you are going on about. We are still stuck on this God forsaken island." Slade said.
"Don't worry Slade, I am sure we will find a way to get off of the island soon enough." Oliver said and the rest of the group nodded.
. . .
The next day it was back to training as usual, so all of the group was up early and ready to work. All of the kids were still eager to learn what they could so that they would be better fighters when it was time for the League of Assassins to find them. They worked very hard at what they were learning and right now they were really showing strides since they had gotten to the island and started training with Slade, Yeo Fei, and Shado.
"I am impressed kid, but don't think you are going to beat me anytime soon." Slade said to Oliver.
"I know it will be a while before that happens, but I know I will one day." Oliver said.
"I will never teach you everything that I know. That is a sign that you want someone to beat you. I have to keep an ace or two up my sleeve." Slade said.
"I bet I will beat you within the next couple of months Slade." Laurel said with a smile.
"Don't bet on it Laurel. If I am not going to let Oliver beat me, I am definitely not going to let you beat me." Slade said.
"I will beat you in two months. I guarantee it." Laurel said.
"Ok, you are on. I will fight you in two months time and I will beat you so badly that you won't even know what happened." Slade said.
As Laurel walked away, Kara walked up to her and asked, "How do you plan on beating him?"
"I am going to sandbag so that he doesn't think that I am that good and when we fight, I will show him everything that I know." Laurel said.
"I don't know if that will be enough Laurel." Kara said.
"I might also use a little bit of my powers." Laurel said with a smile.
"I knew you were going to say that. Good luck then." Kara said as she went back to training and so did Laurel.
A/N: I thought that it would be fun to add that part in with Laurel at the end. We all know that she and Sara are going to be some of the best fighters in the world once they are done with their training, so it will show some of what she is capable of when she is done training.

The Heart Grows
Dungeon games? Yeah, they're a good way to waste a few hours. The trick is to know the map and plan appropriately. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get beaten. You revise your plan for that map and do a bit better next time. Man, it'd really suck to wake up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about, barely able to even work out how to control your dungeon. Lucky that wouldn't happen to anybody, huh? What with only having one chance at getting things right, you'd have to plan extra-defensive. This story should be getting chapters published weekly. I have a comfortable buffer set up and on top of the weekly writing I am committing, a commissioner has donated two monthly writing slots to ensure this remains on a weekly schedule. There will be a stat block at the beginning of every chapter bar the first, and a handy map at the end. All my works come with a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. This means you are free to download, publish, and even make derivative works of my writing so long as you include this license, attribution, and don't sell the works. Keep it free!

Dead Circus
Sylas never knew he was a Cambion, a being with supernatural abilities called Arma. Society discarded him out of fear and subjugated him out of jealousy. Now, Sylas has joined Dead Circus, a group bent on achieving equality for Cambions, no matter the cost. Sylas has been given a chance to fight the injustice present in the city-state of Concordia, and fix society for everyone to live free of chains and tyranny. However, there are those who would rather see it all burn down so they can start over from the ashes. Who decides what is right and wrong? Who decides what freedom costs? At the end, who will stay true to their virtues and who will be swallowed whole by the jowls of a twisted society? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dead Circus is an original dystopian light novel heavily inspired by Japanese light novel style storytelling, character design and world building. My hope is that every chapter will include a few full illustrations to use as supplementary material to the chapter itself. Dead Circus will contain mature themes and some uncomfortable topics. Any chapters containing these types of themes will be noted before the chapter begins. All art associated with Dead Circus, including the cover art is made by me. Fanart or any artist collaborations for the chapter release will be tagged with the respective creators. Dead Circus is divided into volumes and will release weekly with small gaps in between the ends of volumes. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I deeply appreciate your taking the time to read both this description and my work and I look forward to any and all feedback I receive. -Branime

Dystopian Dictator
In a twisted and hopeless world, with so many issues to the society weighing it down, one man rose up to make a difference. He knew the path ahead will be hard, but he is determined to change the world for the better. So as he pinned the symbol of rulership on his shirt , Gorbach ascends to power as the next and the last supreme leader. A story of an oppressive world, might even be called dystopic, by four different characters, none of them was the typical plain-looking young female protagonist with a love triangle, though such a character does exist. The story explores the sides that were not usually portrayed in dystopian, like the dictator, a common soldier, or even normal citizen caught on crossfire. Invest yourself in a mix of political intrigue, complex characters, even more complex relationships, with drama born from conflict and dispute, and just good old death. Enjoy.
