《Clato》chapter thirty

Clove nodded her head. "Where?" She asked.
"I dunno." Cato shot her a look.
"Woods maybe?" Clove suggested uncertainly.
"Nah, Katniss is in there. And I bet she's got some plan up her sleeve." Cato murmured. "How about the lake?"
"That might work." Clove replied. "Sleeping under the stars?" Clove had no idea how to build a shelter.
Cato nodded and smiled slightly. "I guess so, come on then. See what we can find." He looked around, found nothing really useful. So he went down to the lake quietly.
Clove sat down. It was already starting to get cold. "I can see why they lit fires at night." Clove said, hugging her knees.
Cato chuckled slightly.
There was a static sound, then the loud voice of Claudius Templesmith.

"Greetings tributes, the regulations requiring that one tribute may been crowned victor has been.. Revoked. Two victors may be crowned as long as they originate from the same district." That was it. No more words.
Cato looked at Clove, a big smile appearing on his mouth.
Clove stared into Cato's eyes in disbelief. This was the solution to all their problems. They could both win. Clove squealed and giggled, wrapping her arms around Cato. "We can both go home!" She exclaimed gleefully.
Cato hugged her tightly, burying his face into the crook of her neck. Relieved.
Clove blinked off tears and hugged Cato tighter. "I'm not dreaming, am I?" She asked quietly, leaning her head softly on Cato's.
"No," Cato murmured and held her closer. "We can go home."
Blinking could no longer stop Clove's tears. They could live. Both Cato and the baby could live.

Cato kissed her cheek gently, he didn't care about the cameras. It was okay now.

Clove let out a small giggle. "We should get some sleep." She said, smiling.
Cato nodded and sat down, pulling her with him gently.
"Someone has to keep watch." Clove said, snuggling into Cato's arms.
"I can," he murmured, leaning against a tree and putting his arm around Clove.
"Thank you." Clove replied. "Wake me up half way, ok?"
"Okay." Cato answered and sighed.
Clove fell asleep easily. Her nightmares were much fewer, now that her and Cato could live. She dreamed that they got back to their district, living a life of luxury while raising their child. It was all so perfect.
Cato was trying to keep his eyes open, he was so tired, but refused to wake Clove seeing as she looked more peaceful sleeping than most nights.
Clove woke up, well rested. It was still dark, but it looked like the sun was going to rise soon. She turned to Cato. "I thought you said you were going to wake me?"
Cato looked at Clove groggily. "You looked peaceful."
"You look tired." Clove replied. "Go to sleep, I'll keep watch."

How am I Supposed to Save This World with No Power?
Wu Li was but a student trapped in a future he did not want when the Portal sought him out to become the Savior of an entire world. However, unlike any beings born in that world, Wu has not a single ounce of power within his body. Worse yet, he's the fourth one that's been summoned in history and he's got massive shoes to fill. How will he overcome his own powerlessness and become the savior that everyone expects him to be? With a beautiful girl acting as his slightly disappointed yet adorable guardian, a smoking hot rivalling bounty hunter from the High societies out to take his head, and countless other encounters along the way, Wu fights on to become the greatest of the four saviors, while seeding this world with...the principles of science. This is a story set in a world with a rich history of the magic power known as the Wave, and all native species are capable of interacting with the Wave to obtain power in a variety of ways. Think of this as a combination of Dr Stone and Black Clover! I am writing this story using similar structures to anime seasons, and the chapters in itself are structured more like manga chapters. The first two seasons are already planned out, and it is likely going to be daily upload (12 noon EST) of chapters from ~ 2 k words in length during the 'season' when there is backlog of chapters, with a week or two of a break in between seasons if no backlog. If you liked this story, please drop a rating and review. If you hated it, please drop a review and help me get better. Don't just spam a 0.5 rating and leave like a coward lol.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!
