《Finding Emma》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Peter crumples to the ground, yelping. Evelyn holds a gun, staring at me.
-
-
Tris' mouth is still wide open, and she stares at Evelyn. "Th-thank you," she says. I place my hand upon Tris' back and I rub it tenderly.
-
-
Evelyn nods. "Now, what do we need to do to get the city to cooperate?" She asks me.
-
-
"This isn't about containing the city anymore," I say, shifting Emma on my hip. "This is about the people outside of that wall. They need to come into the city and be saved, and the people in the city should be able to leave if they want. We need to notify them on what is going on, now."
-
-
"I've already made a video, before I came to save you," Tris says to me. "Can I project it on the screens.. Like Jeanine did?"
-
-
"Yes," Evelyn says, opening up her computer. "Here. If you give me the flash drive, I can upload it for you..."
-
-
"Thank you," Tris responds to Evelyn, pulling a flash drive out of her pocket and handing it to her. "I need to find Christina and Caleb," she says to me. "Do you want to come with and bring Emma?"
-
-
"Sure," I reply. "Emma, we're going to find Christina and Caleb, okay?" I ask her.
-
-
She looks up at me. "Dada," she says. I give her a small smile and kiss her cheek.
-
-
Tris and I find both Caleb and Christina talking with Uriah at one of the top levels of Erudite. We're about to walk up to them, but then I hear Tris' voice on the loudspeakers.

-
People bustling around Erudite Headquarters stop and look at the video projecting in the middle of the building. I know people are listening outside, too.
-
-
Emma looks around, hearing the voice, and then she looks at Tris. She gives Tris a small smile and points to her with her tiny pointer finger. "Mama," she says.
-
-
Tris suddenly smiles so big at her. I hand Emma to Tris, and Tris pokes her on the nose. "I guess we're a family now, aren't we?" Tris asks little Emma, who giggles in response.
-
-
I put my hand on Tris' back as we watch the video together with Emma and the rest of the city. We're like a little family now, the three of us.
-
-
It is our time now to decide what we need to do to fight back. David can be defeated. We need to not only save the city, but the people in the Fringe. Once and for all.

Hero:Generation
UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!

Lost Things
"In this disordered continent, where everyone seeks to be the heroes of their own tales, there are still some rooms for smaller stories to breathe." "Past, present, and future—keep your eyes open, and see where they lead you to." This story follows three housemates’ lives: Carson Calding, Virgil Barion, and John Salore—onto their adventures of finding Carson’s past, Virgil’s present, and John’s future. Despite their clashing backgrounds and circumstances that forced them together, they’re definitely going to find the things they had lost, for sure. Each entire chapter will be updated biweekly. There'll be three smaller parts per each chapter. Note that this story was written to be an interactive one, with polls at the end of each parts deciding on what happens next. Though, the polls for this story won't be available on Royal Road updates. (I also upload this in Arcane Odyssey forum, and it's currently the only place where I open the polls and use the poll results from.)
