《Alone (Joocie X Laff!)》12
Advertisement
Laff's point of view:
The world's crumbling.... I'm not sure how much time we've got left. I am currently hiding as I write this; hopefully one finds it someday. I never thought that I'd end up like this... Taking the same steps as my father had.. We don't have an army left anymore. There are only 14 of us left, and at least 1,000 of them. We knew we wouldn't win this, but trying was all that mattered, right?
No... I let down our entire kingdom. They came to Makaes in hope of finding a better life, and I ruined in for them!
It's not over yet. It's like I told our army before they went down; if we go down, we don't go down without a fight. I can't simply hide away and write a note to anyone I've ever known, I've got to fight.
If you don't see anything else written here, I'm dead. If you do, we were successful.

"Up! Everybody up! You all remember what's on the line! If we go down today we go down as true warriors!" Julio's voice rang throughout the camp grounds. Soldiers from every tent came running, all prepared for the tedious trip ahead of us.
I stopped a running soldier who I believe was from tent 14. "Where is Joocie?" I asked.
"I-I'm not sure, your majesty. I believe he's still dressing," she replied with a bow.
"You're free to go, thanks for the help," I said as she ran off.
Just as she'd said, Joocie was still inside the tent. By the time I had reached the front he was already out and ready to leave.
"Joocie, I must speak with you for a moment."
"Uhm- yes?"
"I want you to sit this out."

He looked extremely confused.
"But sir? You need me! We both know that their army is much too large!"
"I pulled you away from your home and I won't let that be the reason you live such a short life. Stay here. That's not a question, it's an order," I walked off leaving a confused soldier behind me.

"Everyone's prepared? Are you sure Julio? Because I'm not giving up on our kingdom while there's still a chance for freedom," I had almost begun to yell.
"100% sure. Their as prepared as they ever will be. Shall we get going?"
"...."
"Sir?"
"I need you stand behind with Joocie, Julio. "
"But our army is much too small! I can't stand back while others lose their lives!"
"You're like a brother to me, I can't let you die. Stand behind with Joocie and don't even think about the war."
"You've taken quite a liking to Joocie, huh?"
I thought for a moment. I guess I had.
"I suppose I have. Keep him safe for me, will yuh?"
"Of course."
"I'll miss you Julio."
"You won't die! W-we'll talk again, right?" It was the first time I'd ever seen Julio cry.
"I wish we could.... But I don't think I possible for us to get out of this alive. Goodbye, Julio."
"Goodbye, your majesty."

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence

The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS." Real places, people and events flesh out this fast moving, multi-faceted semi-historical series but fear not fantasy readers. There's more than enough of the magical, mystical mayhem you have come to expect from great fantasy. Romance readers, too, will enjoy the 'spice' in these characters--and there are a lot of them--both human and otherwise. And if you're into Viking lore, this series certainly is for you.When someone asks the author about his series, he answers with, “There were far more surprises in this tale than I ever expected and it's not over yet! This volume and the next two contain hundreds of pages filled with rollicking good times, fast moving action and a page turning adventure you will not soon forget."Books In The Scythian Stone Saga:THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY Episode 1 - 500 pagesTHE REGENTS OF RHUM Episode 2 - 800 pagesTHE SCIONS OF SCOTIA Episode 3 - 800 pages
