*Hey yall, it is me! You amazing writer Caroline. Anyway, this is a new story and so like, view, vote and comment so i may continue the story* Thank you for following along the journey=)*
My feet jump off the board, the strong wooden oval spins against the water and I land back down. The crowd cheers in happiness and excitement seeing the trick I have done millions of times. I smile and wave before I lean my weight toward the back of the surfboard and I sail through the air.
Rocking music plays in the background from the stand with the two black speakers on the sturdy ground. The sunbeams down on the crystal blue waves splashing high in the air allowing me the opportunity to perform at the Aquarius Aquarium. I am one of the workers here at the aquarium who is known for being a fish whisperer and a talent for performing.
"And that is our Queen of the waves, Sarah Wavers." The announcer, Mike calls on the microphone standing next to the Dj at the music stand onshore.
I jump off my gold and blue surfing board and dive in the water. I surface and climb up back on the board. My arms start paddling through the water, swimming to shore.
I arrive at the shore and walk on the warm, soft sand that sticks in between my toes. I head to where my shoes and towel are. I wave and smile at the people I pass by. Many congratulate me and fan over my moves. some ask me how did I do this or that which I shrug and say it is always a surprise.
I bend down, one arm out to catch myself as I fall on my ass onto my white towel and grab my shoes putting them on. Once done, my eyes look out at the ocean view. Waves of blue and white rollover darker blue waters. Wind sweeps around in its crazy pattern and cools everyone from the hot sun. I stand back up on the sand, fold my towel in a nice square and hold my surfing board horizontal walking to the entrance.

I head inside while the tourists venture around the aquarium. I walk down the stairs and watch the children and parents interact with the fish. I stop to watch a small girl pet one of the baby stingrays.
"Sarah come, you have to see this," Jordan calls over to me from the backdoor.
I place my surfboard with Max a bodyguard that welcomes the guests in. I walk over and enter through the open door Jordan is keeping open.
I run with her down the left hall to another area of the aquarium where we usually get the truck deliveries of the fish or food. I stop running watching thirty men hauling a big tank out of a white delivery rescue truck.
There is already a lot of employees standing and observing the unloading of the new creature I suppose, judging by the size of the rectangle box. I shift back and forth to get a better look but I can't see anything.
The crowd follows the men into the room where we mostly observe for a few days a new animal. There are no windows except for the small rectangle window in the middle of the tank to the right side that can look into another tank where I usually do my shows.
I look about the darkroom and my gaze lands on Austin on the bridge at the side of the tank. I head up the stairs, that lead up to the bridge, for a better look.
I walk on the bridge and kneel on Austin's right side. Austins' brown light hair glows blue from the reflection of the water, deep blue eyes that glitter from the water lapse.
He is wearing a black shirt, with beige khaki shorts and black with white strip converse. He is supposed to be wearing his red and grey suit like me. Everyone amongst the staff should be wearing a water suit.

"Hey." He greets me, his eyes glued to the thing that the men are having difficulty handling.
"Where is your suit?" he shrugs eyes concentrated on the big tank.
"What is going on?" I ask not seeing anything in the tank, just blue water.
"We found something very interesting." John, my boss kneels on my right side telling me.
John is 4 years older than me. He is wearing a vest with khaki shorts like Austin with combat boots. John is fine since he is the director but Austin on the other hand is not in his designated suit.
I hope John doesn't scream at me for Austin's lack of proper clothing.
I keep looking in the tank and slowly can make out a tail fin shine against the glass of the tank for a moment. Half of the men slip a bit almost making the tank fall on the ground.
"Hey!" I shout standing up and get the men's attention. It does and the boys gaze at me holding the tank still for a second. My cheeks heat up from the male attention but I don't let it bother me.
"Careful with the creature." They resume with what they were doing; walking to the yellow rectangle platform. One of the men pushes a green button behind him and the floor raises to the opening of the giant tank they are going to throw the new creature in.
They set the rectangle tank in their arms vertical, the man who pushed the button unclasped the top of the tank. The men lift the tank once more but tilt it forward to slide the creature out. The silence in this place is numbing to the ears except for the water lapping and grunts of the human males handling the giant glass rectangle.
The tank tilts all the way helping the creature to drop in. What I see next makes me gasp and kneel back down.
*What is it, I wonder? Is it an ordinary fish or what?
Comment down below what you think the creature is and read on to find out what it truly is.*

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

The Summoned - Complete
In a world of magic, ruled by many warring races, the human kingdoms are being pushed to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to gain the strength to stand on an equal footing with the other nations, they perform a forbidden ritual to summon combat slaves from another dimension. Unluckily for them, Mors Letus, recently named by their world's God of Death, was one of them. **** Warning **** This is a re-release (The Summoned) of the first book I wrote in partnership with my brother (who later forced the story to be pulled (It was released on his account here)). I have started writing my own version of the story (BOM: The Summoned) and will continue to primarily invest in that, though, now I have permission to re-release this one, I plan finish this as I have the drafts and it was close to the end of the first book. Many characters/scenes and events match/Will match BOM: The Summoned, especially in future arc's (Past Flatner forest). If you don't like spoilers, don't want to get confused between the two stories or hate first attempts at writing (god awful grammar/sentence structure and storytelling), I would advise against reading.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
