《Dependence - Book Two (Wattys 2013 Finalist)》Capitol Update: Special Attraction
Advertisement
Piper Papillon’s POV:
‘’ Hello everyone! I’m back and boy, do I have news!’’ I scream as I skip back onto the stage and the crowd roars with excitement.
I try to smile and laugh as much as possible, despite how uncomfortable and scared I feel. Was the President serious? He has to have been. I can’t do that! Not with him!
‘’ I am here with a special announcement before the next half of the interviews begin! Like every other Quarter Quell year, there will be plenty of special attractions added to the arena to make it more fun! As you all know, this year’s Games will be held on a island, that has been artificially built especially for this so we want to try have our attractions to this theme.
Here’s where you come in, we need you to send us as many ideas for special attractions as possible! Remember, the more exciting special attractions we have, the more exciting the Games will be for you!
When you are all trying to think of ideas, try remembering previous special attractions such a mutts, natural disasters, toxic plants, zombie tributes, a volcano, dinosaurs, tribute revival, please give us as many ideas as possible!’’
As I say this, the crowd begins to take out their phones and send in their suggestions.
‘’ And that’s not all! This year, you will be able to make bets on various things in the arena! But I will tell you more about that after the interviews have concluded. Thank you! I will be back in about fifteen minutes for the second half of the interviews!

Her future self has given her miraculous powers, all to save the world from the so-called Queen…and yet, all she can think about is using these brainwashing powers on girls! In the twilight of the Reiwa era, as humanity awaits the end of the world…can Cibele resist temptation? Can she save the world? Will she have to resist her powers and fight against the insistence of her future self…or is it possible to find love, or even become a ‘hypnotic heroine’, beneath a Southern Sun? A tale of ethical dilemmas, late capitalism, freedom and justice, temptation, bad thoughts, nerdiness, hypnokink, and – of course – cute girls. (Cover is an original commission, by @muffinlordArt!

I, Mor-eldal: The Necromancer Thief
As a budding little necromancer, I soon discovered that the world of city people is complicated. When my master kicked me out of the cave, he warned me not to talk about my “dark” magic, because people here don't like the undead. I am not really an undead, I just have a skeleton hand, but it is better to be careful. Anyway, that's not my biggest worry. In the Black Dagger brotherhood, I learn a lot of things, such as illusionist magic, which turns out to be quite handy to survive in this maze of streets: in the Cat Quarter, we have thugs of all kinds that are best avoided. But we also have good people, goodhearted “gwaks”, as we say around here. Little did I know that I would soon be caught up in an infamous traffic that would entangle my life even more. With a mix of lighthearted adventure and picaresque, this story narrates the hectic life of a good-spirited street child and his companions in a medieval urban fantasy setting with some nineteenth-century influences. Updates Mondays and Fridays. This is a Creative Commons By work. It is a translation of a trilogy I wrote in Spanish between 2017 and 2018.
