《Other Worldly - Magi Fanfiction》Chapter 21 - The Years Apart (Part 2)
Advertisement
Where was I? Oh yeah, getting into the Immuchak tribe. Well yeah I did that. The entire time we were there there was this girl that would only stare daggers at us. I went up to ask her about it. In that conversation in learned her name was Mina, and she was jealous at how well we were at fighting. We all offered to train her, and with our help she was able to get accepted by her culture.
We were taken to main village where we met the Head Chief. From all the stories of how I was helping out the villages, they must have thought I was a guy. Since he offered for me to marry his youngest daughter. Obviously I didn't, but I didn't become friends with her. Niahoma is a sweet girl, that sadly needs to be forced into a marriage for some reason.
But finally we returned to Reim. I had been gone for four years. It had been five years since I had last seen you. I was wanting to relax for a bit, before attempting to venture to Kou once again. The day after I returned I was called to a meeting with Lady Scheherazade. I obviously couldn't deny it.
When I came I was surprised to find Yunanan was also there. Oh, Yunanan is the one who taught me magic, he's my mentor. Either way the two had a task for me. Mainly to go a round to other countries and advise the royals of how they should treat other countries. They didn't want a repeat of the Partevian war. I accepted, knowing I would need a good standing with the royals of the world.
The first place I went was Sasan. Yukino insisted on coming with, not trusting me to go on my own. The other two also didn't want me to go alone, but didn't want to go themselves. During my stay, even though I was a royal guest I still needed to stay in that inn. Throughout my stay I got to know a girl that worked there, Gueneth. She was kind and got the job to help provide for her brother as both her parents died.

I also befriended the knight assigned to escorted me while I was there. His name was Vlyad, and was pretty dang supportive of my shinanigans. He evern started a few himself. He was so relaxed for being a Susan knight, yet he wasn't forced into it.
After Susan I returned to Balbadd. The king spoke of you while I was there. He said I reminded him of you. I never mentioned I knew you, I don't know why though. I went and visited Jamiya and Jamin in my time there. Both were doing extremely well and ecstatic to see me again.
Next I was sent to Partevia. It was strange nor being treated like trash by royal soldiers. One of them was actually a kid we grew up with. Terran, he became a servant in the royal palace, it's better than starving on the streets. We was excited to see me again. Appeariently I had stopped kids from beating him up alot as a child, nothing surprising.
There's also this fruit seller, Catal. I don't exactly remeber how we met. But by the time I left he was my friend. He has a sharp tongue and when we talk it has no choice but to turn into an argument, but it works.
While I was in Partevia I went to visit our old village. There was nothing put the ruins of old houses. I asked around to see what happened. All the men had been drafted into the war, and in turn died. The woman and children left looking for better lives.
Within the time of my search I met Judar for the first time. Man he's always been a spoiled prat. The moment he learned I had learned magic from Yunanan he wanted to fight. Which of course we did. I won, with little use of magic beyond borgs and simple magoi. We parted ways, but not for long.
Next I went to Artemyra, just for fun and wanting to see what it was like. I brought Mei with me, and made it a girl's outing. Not even five minutes of being in the city we found Judar, who was cross dressing. He started fighting me, so I retaliated. We got in trouble with some official, but I outted him as a guy and got plenty of apologies. Cause of this I was brought to the queen, I'm not sure why. I thought wanting to know how I could tell, not expecting that I knew him from elsewhere. For rest of our stay a princess was our companion, as they feared I was going cause chaos again. Serine and I got along, she liked how "spunky" I was, which was "rare from women on the outside" as she said.

Then there was May, she was intrigued by the outside world and hunted us down. I like her determination and told her everything I could. She wanted nothing more than to see the world herself, but she needed to stay to take care of her elderly parents.
The next place I was sent was Heliohapt. Whole there a befriended a set of warriors. Shakir and Mila. They have clashing personalities, but they get along extremely well. I sorta bothered them until the accepted me as a friend. Which took longer than expected.
For the next two years I would go from country to country, doing tasks for the magis, and running into the dark one everywhere I went. Then I got this strange request one day. I was asked to be an foreign advisor for the Kou. Having yet to truly make it there, I went to see it was all about. I went looked into it a bit, and accepted the job. Yeah, surprising. I thought in some way I could stop all the wars.
I only kept the job for a year. In that time I befriended one of the Kou Princesses, Princess Kouie, sixth imperial princess. Most people forget about her, but I wanted to know everyone as themselves, which she took as an opportunity to make friends, which we did.
After I quit my job at the Kou, I was confused about what to do with my life, sorta. I decided to travel, again. I made my way to Akita, cause surprisingly I had yet to go there. Once there I made friends with a Sailor, Nake. He'd been wanting to join the navy but couldn't. He really just wanted to be part of something bigger than just being higher education help. That's when the idea struck me. Why not go into trade. And that is how I founded Crescent Moon. I went to the King of Akita, wanting to get the a country into this.
On my way from the coast to the capital I meet up with a guy on his way home from a journey. We learned he lived in Akita's capital, so we joined together in our travels. We ran into some bandits, got taken hostage and beat them up.
Upon arrival to the capitol, Ivan let out the knees he was the prince. So off course the country joined my soon to be made trade company.
I spent two years going everywhere and using my connections to build up Crescent Moon. Most of the time I was in Kou, as that was where eight had put the main hub for the company. There was this one place I did want to go to, that I had yet to. Kina. I found it surprisingly easy.
Everyone there was scared of my arrival, few people are able to locate the flying city, but I had. I was threatened by the small army, but I did nothing. One girl approved me and wanted to go to the ground below. I took Fran down, onky for a day. It seems that one day was enough for her to trust me. In turn her best friend also claimed me as a friend. It was strange. I did so little yet they trusted me so much.
I returned to Kou, only being gone a month. My company could run well without me, and once again I got board. That was when I decided to move to Sindria. Mei and Kansi who had been with me through all of it, moved with me. A month after living here I decided to start the orphanage, as I could easily fund them. I was actually in Balbadd originally to see if I could open one there, but you know how that all went.

When they reach Portland, Dust discovers a line has been drawn between those who have been changed and the unchanged ones who want to control them. Can Dust protect his new family from being used or will the power within him become a force that will not only destroy his enemies, but the ones he loves?
8 450The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
8 177The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
