Silence is Suicide.
Chapter Nineteen.
Jeremy's father came back from his break. He had another man with him.
"Well look-y here." the younger man said smiling at me. "Pops, you weren't lying. Jeremy does have another 'little brother'."
Jeremy looked slightly proud. "Yep, this is my buddy, Emerson."
The man rubbed his hand on my head, messing up my hair. "I'm Eddy, Jeremy's younger brother. I'm not sure if Jeremy has said anything about me yet..." He ran his fingers through his messy dark brown hair and rolled his eyes.
Jeremy patted his younger brother on the back. "No worries, broski. We're heading out. Bye Eddy, bye Pops."
Jeremy motioned for me to follow him.
"Welcome to the family, Emerson." I heard Eddy call out.
"Nice to meet you, lad." Pops said as I left with Jeremy.
"So," Jeremy started as we walked in the crisp, winter air. "Now I'm going to meet your family, right?"
I gulped. "No, no, no, no. Please don't make me go back there." I pleaded on the inside.
Every step closer brought more pain to my soul. Finally we reached my house. The house that killed me so many times.
I led Jeremy to the window. It was still how I left it. Nothing changed. I opened it and climbed into my room. I then motioned for Jeremy to do the same.
"Why can't we go through the front door?" Jeremy question me with a hint of confusion.
I put my finger to my lips as to say, "Shush." I left the window wide open and grabbed some paper. "Stay here. Don't make a sound and don't move. I promise, I'll answer your questions at a safer time."
He looked at me like a puppy who didn't understand it's command.

I took a deep breath and walked out my bedroom door.
"YOU!" the she-beast roared. "Where the fuck you been, you little bastard!"
She charged at me. I tried to duck, but she took it as taunting. She hit me. The she-beast's mate joined in the torture.
He observed from the kitchen, "You're a worthless piece of shit." he spat toward me. They both were obviously overly intoxicated.
I thought about Jeremy and his safety. If he gets caught in my room, my parents; my enemies, might seriously hurt him. I needed to get him out of here.
I jumped up trying to defend myself. I punched the she-beast square in the jaw. She roared staggering backwards, rubbing her jaw. I could see the flames flare up in her eyes. I sprinted to my room and blocked the door.
"What the Hell is going on Emerson." Jeremy said in a very serious, low tone, but his eyes made him look worried.
I grabbed my paper and scribbled. "Get. Out. I'm serious. Get Out Now."
"NO! You need to explain this to me."
"JEREMY!" I wrote then underlined my previous words.
He growled. "I'll be back." he said in a low tone then jumped out of the window.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
My door caved in. I can't remember what happened after that.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
