El bebé en la cuna estaba tranquilo, demasiado tranquilo; no lloraba ni balbuceaba pero si miraba atentamente, seguía fielmente cada movimiento que el hacia. Acerco uno de sus dedos queriendo picotear una mejilla gordita pero el bebé atrapó su dedo entre los suyos y sin importar lo áspero que era lo llevo a su boquita y comenzó a mordisquearlo.
Una risita lo sobresaltó, estaba tan distraído que no había visto a la mujer que lo trajo de vuelta a la vida, en sus brazos otro bebé, una niña en ropas verdes (a diferencia de su hermano que llevaba ropa roja).
– ¿Jugando con Damian? –pregunto risueña acostando a la niña en la cuna.
–... Es pequeño –respondió.
Aún no hablaba mucho así que no podía expresar todo lo que quería; que el lugar en el que se encontraban no era el más propicio para que niños se criaran, la mayoría de los que habitaban la fortaleza eran asesinos, personas agresivas y toscas que no tratarían a los bebés con la ternura que se debía. Que no todos eran leales a la señora Talía sino a Ra's y pocos menos a Dussan, ¿intentarían dañarlos ahora que eran indefensos? Su corazón dolía al pensar en esa posibilidad.
–Sí, lo es –suspiro. – Y eso lo pone en peligro. A ambos. Por eso quiero que hagas algo por mí –le tomo el rostro entre sus finas manos, manos que arrebataban vidas pero eran lo suficientemente suaves Lara arrullar niños, para calmar las pesadillas de Jason. – Vuélvete su protector, se su sombra y cuídalos.
Jason asintió.

Sus pasos no provocaron ruido su que el piso fuera viejo y de madera, no había porque ser tan cauteloso pues los somníferos que pusieron en su cena eran suficientes para dormir a un adulto por unas cuatro horas a un niño lo noquearía el doble de tiempo o más, le daba tiempo suficiente para matarlo. Al menos no sufriría si era mientras estaba dormido. Tomo el puñal que llevaba en su cinturón y se preparó para deslizarlo por la delicada garganta pero antes de que pudiera hacerlo una bala atravesó su cabeza.

De las sombras salió un guerrero con su arma aún empuñada, sin tacto arrastró el cadáver hacia el pasillo los otros sirvientes se harían cargo de deshacerse de él. Jason volvió a la habitación, nada se escuchaba además de las tranquilas respiraciones del niño cuyo sueño seguía sin perturbarse; se sentó junto a él para acariciar sus cabellos, ese intento era el primero en llegar tan lejos en un tiempo pero estaba tranquilo, él y Rose se encargaron de quienes lo querían muerto a él y su hermana.
Solo esperaba que cuando fueran enviados a Gotham pudiera seguir protegiéndolos.

This project has no purpose
Summary: This is the story about the life of a "human" amidst a world that only appears to be earth at first glance. Long ago the face of this world resembled the typical tales of yore; of knights and fairies, swords and magic, however such an era has come and gone. Even the world of fantasy has progressed steadily into the modern epoch filled with the wonders of science and technology! In the ancient times a certain crisis had occured that lead to the quick decline of various magical species. Due to their low population and general incompatibility with the other races they could not crossbreed to save their numbers. Left with no other choice the major races of the world gathered together in an attempt to change the fate of this dying world. Their only hope was a special 'world-tier' magic known as 'the dusk of harmony'. The result of this magic would dissolve every race into their purest essences known as 'aspect' and instill them within the human population. The humans were the best choice as their numbers were numerous and form was similar to most races. As such, the various races of this world managed to save themselves in essence and soul only, though perhaps there was no other choice. With the various humans now carrying the weight and aspects of those who came before, life has continued onto the modern age. Yet, even amongst these hybrids 'Pures' emerge from time to time, beings who have inherited not only aspects of the ancient races, but their forms too. These Pures are often times exceptionally talented and seen as near deities. This is the story of a perculiar boy who is born with the soul of a stranger from the world known as 'Earth'. With the memories and soul of a human, he too is a rare Pure; a pure human. --- This project literally has no purpose and is being written because I felt like it. There isn't any semblance of a solid direction nor have I thought about any characters aside from the main character and a few auxiliary cast. If you would like to contribute to building this world with me then please contact me through a DM or by leaving a comment, I will be sure to credit you.

Way of the World
In a world of martial arts and magic, where the strong do as they please, a young swordsman seeks revenge for his school's destruction and mentor's death, while trying to stay true to his own values. Arround him, the era shifts as immense powers struggle and scheme for the world's future. Join our protagonist as he travels through exotic lands, meets strange and funny creatures and learns to remain human amongst the carnage. Author's note: This is the first story I'm writting in a coherent manner (I have written a lot of DnD background stories in the past), so bear with me if I make boring or overdescriptive bits: I'll regularly come back to rewrite whichever parts feel unpolished, especially grammatical errors. I would also appreciate any corrections or suggestions.

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?...#1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019)#1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)
