"Well if I'm honest that was my plan." He looked at me in disbelief. "Are you fucking serious?" asked he. "What else?" I answered him nonchalantly and walked past him." How long has it been here?" I heard him mumble behind me. "What?" I asked loudly, seeming to startle him out of his thoughts. How the hell does he know that?" Nothing nothing..." he said. Ok, it's starting to annoy me. Why can't he just say it? I turned to him resolutely. He didn't notice and ran towards me. He looked at me innocently." Is what?" he asked me. "I want an answer!" I got louder He flinched. He seemed startled for a moment, but then went back to normal. "I don't know what you mean," he said coldly and continued towards Kinoko Kingdom. We were already in the territory but not yet in the center. I ran after him. "Don't play stupid! You know exactly what I mean! How do you know I need a golden feather? And the book? How did you know where it was?" I asked seriously. He stopped but didn't turn around. "It would take too long to explain now." he said in a slightly depressed voice. Did I ask too much? "We don't have that much time anyway, tell me later" I said quickly. He gave me a grateful look. We were silent the rest of the way after what seemed like forever we arrived. "Where do we start looking?" he asked. Honestly. I don't have a plan. Maybe we'll start in the non-existent chicken coop after all. "Well, I guess we coul-" I couldn't get any further because suddenly I was pulled behind a bush. I looked at Quackity in confusion. He gestured me to be quiet. Then he looked ahead again. I also looked ahead and saw if I could see the reason we were hiding here now. At first I couldn't see anything until I could spot two figures. Was that Sapnap and Karl? They talked excitedly. As they got closer I could hear their voices. It was clearly Karl and Sapnap. But what were they doing here? Why were you back so early? I looked back at Quackity. "Why do you think they are here?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe they wanted to know if you didn't blow up their country?" he said sarcastically. There was some truth in that. The voices grew quieter. I looked around and saw her disappear around the corner of a building. "Let's get this over with quickly. I don't feel like confronting them. ' said Quackity, standing up. "I would say we search everything systematically. You go left and I go right. If one finds it, he immediately contacts the other." he suggested. I nodded. "OK, take care." he said before he started walking. After a moment's thought, I ran. Was it really smart to break up? What if one of us runs into Karl and Sapnap? They were two. But really, Q should be able to defend itself. I passed many impressive buildings. Kinoko Kingdom was really a beautiful place. It would be a shame if it accidentally got blown up... After half an hour walking around the city it got boring. I had manyseen interesting things just no golden chicken. Why was it so hard to find a chicken?... OK that was a stupid question. Just as I was about to call Quackity, my cell phone rang. The screen showed me it was Quackity. Did he find it? I picked up. "Hi?" "Wilbur? I have good news and bad news. The good news: I found the chicken. The bad: I think Karl and Nick realized something was wrong. It's just a guess. But please be careful. I am sending you my coordinates now. bye." he said."Okay see you soon." I said and hung up. Shortly thereafter, a message came with a few coordinates. Then let's search.

After a while I arrived. Quackity was waiting impatiently for me. I looked at him expectantly. "So? Where's the chicken?" I asked impatiently. "Over there," he said, pointing to a fenced enclosure. There was a single chicken. Finally. I ran towards it. Quackity cautiously behind me. I lightly jumped over the fence and ran towards the chicken. It didn't really notice me at all. So it was easy for me to grab it. But just as I had it and was about to pluck a feather from it, I heard footsteps behind me. Apparently Quackity had already heard her , he had pressed himself against one of the thick posts . I did the same with the chicken in my hand. Now I had time to steal a feather. I quickly found a nice one and with a jerk I had it in my hand. But the chicken didn't seem to like that because it started cackling like crazy. "Shit" I whispered. The footsteps came closer. "Is anyone there?". Crap. I looked at Quackity, who looked a bit awkward. When he caught my gaze, he gave me an angry look. The footsteps came closer. Ok, we had to run now or never. So I nodded to him and shouted, "Run" and we ran into the woods

Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

(First take on writing something so please be easy on me. I plan on including different elements I feel will make a good story like leveling, stats boxes, spells, reincarnation, betrayal, and so much more. I prefer to do some background building while also balancing character development to deliver a good story so be prepared. I'm planning to write this novel for a long time while also adapting and learning to become better at it. Feedback will be appreciated and if editing is needed I will do my best.) Posting Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and possibly Sundays. Thanks from ianwest!
8 177Chronicles of a Fallen Matriarch
With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her lost love. The more she pursued her lost love, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury. ===== Series Info======= The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible. The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.
