Advertisement
Cruz, Jackson, and Rise take a tour of the kingdom outside of it. "Cruz..." Jackson asked Cruz.
"Hm...?" Cruz responded to Jackson. "Well... your friends, it was really cool..." Cruz rejoices when he says that. "Thank you, Jackson." Jackson sighs and tells Cruz and Rise his past.
Jackson: Hey guys... Actually, I've been alone since birth.
Cruz: What?
Rise: Really?
Jackson: Yeah... When I was young my mother told me not to play with kids outside...
Jackson (kid): Mother, can I play with the kids out there?
Leila: You want to play with the kids at outside? Oh, Jackson.... You can't go out...
Still a little sapling, just a sprout...
You know why you can't go outside?
Jackson: Yeah, but-
Leila: That's right, to keep you safe
and sound, dear.
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet...
Jackson: But-
Leila: Shh! Trust me, my teddy bear.
Mother, knows best.
(Spit the wall)
(Window closed)
Mother knows best
listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Jackson: Ah! (surprised)
(The string pulls Jackson tied up.)
Mother knows best
One way or another, something will go wrong, I swear
Jackson: (surprise)
Ruffians, thugs,
Jackson: (Surprise ×2)
poison Ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snake, the plauge
Jackson: No!
Leila: Yes!
Also large bugs, men with pointy teeth
And stop, no more, you'll just upset me!
(Jackson covers the blanket with fear)
Mother's right here, mother will protect you
(hug)
Darling here's what I suggest
(Jackson surprised, when he turned into a mannequin)
Skip the drama, stay with Mama
Mother, knows best
(laugh)
(Candle off)
(Jackson lighted candle)
Mother knows best
(She turn off the candle's lights, for her tires)
Take it from your mumsey

On your own, you won't survive
(Jackson looked around in the mirror)
Sloppy undressed,
Jackson: (surprise)
immature,
(Shy Face Red Jackson)
clumsy
(Jackson fell when Leila pulled the carpet)
Jackson: Ah! (Surprise)
(Leila turns Jackson over the carpet she pulled earlier)
Please, they'll eat you up, alive
Gullible, naive
(Jackson turns when the horse pulls the carpet fast)
positively grubby
(Dizzy Jackson)
Ditzy and a bit, well hmm... vague
( Leila raised Jackson's chin )
Plus I believe,
getting kinda chubby
(Tap Jackson's chin)
I'm just saying 'cause I love you
(Hugging Jackson with her face in a tire)
(Leila went somewhere suddenly)
Mother understands,
(Suddenly darkened)
Jackson: Ahh!(suprised)(scared)
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
(Leila illuminated spotlight)
Jackson sighs and approaches Leila and hugs
Leila: Storm...?
Jackson: Yes?
Leila: Don't ever ask to leave this mansion, again.
Jackson: Yes, mother...
Leila: Ah... I love you ver much, dear.
Jackson: I love you more...
Leila: I love you most.
(Leila Kisses Jackson Forehead)
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best.
Jackson: ... (sad face)
Leila: Keep your house and listen to the housekeeper!
(Jackson enters the room)
(Jackson watching kids play in the window)
(Close your eyes and close the window.)
Jackson: That's what happened...
When Jackson says it, Cruz and Rise understand how lonely Jackson is.
"Whoa..." Rise makes a sad face and resonates. And Cruz talked to Jackson.
"Jackson, I fully understand your mind. But, when you think about the passing past, you're rather stumbling. So the past is the past. If you forget and find your own true happiness, miracles will happen in your future. Might not know... "Cruz comforts Jackson. Listening to Rise, Jackson and Cruz smile.
Jackson: Yeah... You're right. As Lightning told me, He told 'you to forget the past and find a true future.' So, I won't give up!

Cruz: Yeah! if you leave it like this... your face will be... (laughs)
Jackson: What do you say? (Embarrassment)
Everyone: (laughs)
At the kingdom, Queen, King, prepares to raise the lantern to find the prince on the lost prince's birthday.
Queen is already, then when she sees King's sad face, touch his face 'make sure your son can find it.' she thought, and sad smile it. And then, Sunny Rose came it.
She comforts his father, opens the door, and before the lanterns are lit, the three look at each other and raise the lanterns. And in succession, the people of the kingdom, see the lanterns of King, Queen, and princess, and the people raise lanterns.
In the meantime, Rise continues to paddle, while Cruz and Jackson play by touching the sea. And...
[
(Let's see the light that, Cruz sheds in the sea.)
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking
(The ship moves as the Cruz moves)
(Jackson and Rise fall out of balance)
(Cruz sees where the light comes from)
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
(Cruz amazed at the rise of lanterns)
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
(The impressed cruise sees the lights dancing)
(Rise is beautiful,and open his eyes glow.)
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
(Cruz come nervous)
All that once everything looks different
(Cruz looking back after shining from behind)
Now that I see you
(Jackson with 2 Lanterns)
(Pleasant Cruz)
Cruz: Jackson...?
Jackson: Hm...?
Cruz: Actually I... I like you...
Jackson: What...? (Embarrassed)
Cruz: It was actually a little scary... But, I'm not scared anymore... Do you know what I mean?
Jackson: I think I know...
Cruz: (smile)
(They put lights together at the same time)
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
(Jackson looks at the lantern and sees the Cruz)
Now she's here shining in the starlight
(Cruz raises again when the light comes down.)
Now she's here suddenly I know
(Cruz sees Jackson)
If she's here it's crystal clear
(Jackson gives Cruz a warm smile)
(Jackson is next to the Cruz.)
I'm where I'm meant to go
(Just noticed Jackson loves Cruz.)
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And at last I see the light
[ Jackson ]
And it's like the fog has lifted
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And at last I see the light
[ Cruz ]
And it's like the sky is new
[ Cruz & Jackson ]
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
(The lanterns that Cruz and Jackson put together dance together.)
All that once everything is different
Now that I see you
(They smiles while looking at each other.)
(And Rise suddenly closes his eyes, but curiously only one eye opens.)
Now that I see you
(I know each other when I finish singing)
Cruz and Jackson hug and smiles.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
