《Sandboy》Adrien's point of view
Advertisement
The world is spinning and my head is reeling. Laying in this spot eases the pain and makes it easier to breathe. I try to get up and fail, I think my arm might be broken. Ladybug where are you? Who is this? A million more questions run through my mind, and just as I was getting comfortable and used to the pain the rain starts, hard heavy drops hit my bruised and broken ribs. I can't crawl away to refuel my Kwami, and my time is almost up.
Is this how I die? Cataclysmed to death by a much better, angelic, version of me? As I was drifting off to what could've been the last time I'd ever sleep, I felt someone roll me on my side and pain shoot up from my legs and into my lungs. It got hard to breathe and I thought he'd come back to finish me, but no. It was Ladybug.
She laid her head on mine and cried. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. All I could do was wheeze and try to live, but in that moment all the pain and coldness I felt went away. It brought me comfort that my partner didn't completely abandon me. She whispered something in my ear and left, and with her left the warmth and comfort I was feeling. In its place came pain and agony. My body violently shook as I coughed up blood.
I laid there dying in a pool of blood, water, and self-pity, as Rena Rouge and Carapace tried to move me to a nearby shop. They failed. Miserably. With every touch, jolt and pulling sent pins and needles through my entirely body. Eventually, they got me inside and out of the rain. Rena Rouge tended to my open wounds, but there wasn't much to do. Everything that hurt was inside.

I start to get up, but Rena Rouge pushes me back down
"I need to go help her," I say weakly, wincing in pain, "she can't handle.... that by herself."
"I appreciate your determination, Chat," she says, "but no. You're in no shape to fight."
I lay back down and watch as my partner fights with him. I should be out there, helping, not laying here dying. Rena Rouge and Carapace give me some privacy so I can refuel my Kwami.
"Plagg." I start coughing again. Each time it gets more violent. "Claws in."
I manage to find a water bottle and some bread. Drinking water is the last thing I want to do right now, but I need to wash all the dirt and blood out of my mouth. I watch as Rena Rouge and Carapace assist Ladybug in her battle against Sandboy and the slightly more demented and angelic version of me.
"Come on, Plagg, Ladybug needs our-" I stand up and gasp as a sharp pain pierces my lungs, "-help."
I hobble over to Plagg and give him the bread, who complains about it not being cheese. Maybe I should rest and sit this out. No, it's four in the morning and Paris can't handle any more of their nightmares.
"Plagg." I started to speak, but then a wave of nausea hit me. "Just give me a second."
I walk over to the trash can and throw up. Great. I've got internal bleeding, bruised and broken ribs, and my lungs are failing me. This honestly has to be the worst way to die.
"Hey Plagg?"
"Yes, Adrien?" He flies over to me and sat down on my leg. Obviously, he was suffering the same way I am, but he's immortal and I'm not.
"Is this what the dinosaurs felt like when you cataclysmed the entire planet?"
"Ya, probably. I'll never call them wimps again."
I almost started laughing, but even inhaling is painful. I think one of my bones is lodged in a lung.
"Plagg, claws out!"
It's time to go assist Ladybug in this battle between two villains.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
