《Godzilla: Legend Begins》Chapter 9

Jesse looked over at the island that was off in the distance. She could see the lush green from the plants and trees against the blue of the sky and the sea. Kanto stood beside her, looking at her from the corner of his eye. He had to continuously remind himself that Jesse was still a kid but it was easy to forget though with her attitude and maturity.
"So, this is Birth Island?" asked Jesse.
"Yep." John answered as he walked over to the two. "This would be it. I never forget an island that I've seen and/or visited."
"Have you gone to that island over there?" She pointed over at the other island that was at least a few miles away from Birth Island.
"No."
"Has anyone explored it?"
"No one. Although, fishermen who come close to it has said that they heard sounds coming from the interior. They never stick around long enough to see if whatever make those sounds come to the beach."
"Jesse," Kanto stated. "We better go get what we need packed."
"Right." She was quick to follow Kanto to their cabin and grabbed her black and red duffle bag. She started to pack, grabbing extra clothes, water bottles and small snacks such as beef jerky. She also grabbed her rolled up futon and put it inside the bag before zipping it up and shouldering it. She grabbed another bag, this one was just black, and started to put her equipment inside that includes the giga counter.
"What do you think we will find on the island?" asked Kanto as he packed his own things.
"I'm not sure." she answered truthfully.
"Do you think there could be some eggs?"
"Unless he is asexual, no. It's probably in his territory."

"I still find it weird that he kept circling the area..."
"We will find out once we get there."
"I suppose." With that, they went into a comfortable silence and finishing up their packing. They walked out onto the deck and saw that a boat was already prepped and waiting, hanging over the side of the ship.
"We need to get going now." John began, standing in front of the boat. "We will want to cover as much ground when we land." The two nodded and scrambled in, followed by John. Two of the crew members lowered them into the sea and John unhooked the ropes and started the rotor. The waves bumped into the boat as it cut through the water, heading towards Birth Island. Jesse stared as they began to come closer and closer, feeling that they were wrong now.
"Stop the boat." she ordered. John and Kanto glanced at one another before John stopped the rotor.
"What is it." John asked, a little annoyed.
"This isn't the right island." She told them.
"What? Course it is! This is Bir-"
"Not that!" Jesse interrupted. "I meant that our answers aren't on Birth Island."
"Then were the hell are they?!"
"On that island." she nodded over to the island she had questioned about.
"We have our orders kid! We are going to Birth Island-"
"The answers aren't there!"
"How would you know?"
"Just trust me, I know."
"John," Kanto spoke up. "Despite her age, she knows what she is talking about so listen to her."
"..." John huffed but turned the boat towards the second island and began to drive towards it.
"Thank you." Jesse murmured to Kanto.
"For both of our sakes, I hope you're right." Kanto mumbled back.
"I better be fuckin' paid for this..." they heard John grumble.

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
