《GxG Stories and One Shots》The Candles - Maya Bishop
Advertisement
There was a light knock on my door, so I went over to answer it. I opened it to find Maya, pacing back and forth, she looked tired, like she'd had a long shift, I looked at my watch, 9 o'clock, she must have just finished.
"Hey", I greeted her, smiling stupidly like I always did around her, "I didn't know you were coming over tonight, did I forget we organised something", I said panicking a little that I'd forgotten a date or something.
"No no no, we didn't, I wasn't, I just, I had a really bad day and I just, I needed to see you, see that you were ok, I can go, you probably have plans or-" I cut off her rambling.
"Hey no, it's fine, come in", I opened the door wider and gestured for her to come in, taking her coat off her shoulders when she started to remove it, as I did I noticed that she was trembling slightly, "you're shaking, are you ok?", I asked as we made our way further into my apartment.
"I'm fine, I'm just", she paused looking at me, suddenly she placed her hands on my cheeks, pulling me in for a kiss, which I gladly reciprocated.
"Not that I'm complaining but, what was that for?", I asked curiously.
"I had a really, really bad day", she answered, looking at me.
I placed my hand on her cheek, caressing it gently, "do you wanna talk about it?", I asked.
"Not really, I mean, not, not about my day really", she started rambling again.
"Well what do you wanna talk about?", I asked, I was a little confused now, " you seem like you want to say something", I prompted her.
"Did you know you're like, kinda obsessed with candles?", she started, I went to say something but she carried on, "I don't think I've ever been to your apartment and not seen at least one candle, and it really terrifies me", she had started pacing again now, and I was way to confused to interrupt her, "every time I leave I have this thought like, what if, what if one falls over while you're in the shower, or what if you go out to work and you forget to blow one out", she was talking so fast I could hardly keep up.

"I think you're over thinking this a little", I tried to calm her.
"No, no I'm not, because I know you pretty well now, well enough to know that you're super reckless and I can't help but think that if something happened that you would do something stupidly reckless to try and save something or someone and I'm terrified that you'll get hurt and I spent the entire day thinking that, and then we had this call about I fire like 2 blocks away and I instantly thought", she stopped pacing and faced me, "what if it's you? It wasn't, but it could be, and I, I have no idea what I'd do if something like that were to happen to you, because I think I'm in love with you", she stopped there and just looked at me, like she wanted me to say something. I don't know what to say.
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.
"You don't have to say it back, but, I do, I think I love you, because whenever I'm not with you, I always find myself thinking about you, everything reminds me of you, if one of the guys tells some stupid joke, I think of you telling me some stupid joke, every time I get a cup of coffee I think of you asking if I want tea, everytime Warren talks about something he did I surgery once, I think of you, I think of you and how amazing and beautiful and sexy and incredible you are and how I love everything about you, even the stuff that annoys me", I couldn't help but smile at her, as I walked closer to her again and placed me hands on her waist.
"I think I love you too", I said, "because I do the same thing, I think about you constantly, every time my phone rings I hope it's you asking if you can come over, or telling me about something that happened in your day, or literally just saying hey, I constantly want something interesting to happen so I have an excuse to call you and tell you about it, every time we have a trauma come in I hope you're the one bringing them just so I can see you for a split second to break up my day even the slightest little bit", I told her.

"Really?", She asked, smiling like the beautiful idiot she is.
"Yes really, Maya Bishop, I think I'm in love with you too, I mean, who wouldn't be", I smiled and leaned in to kiss her again, I pulled away, "though I am curious, what exactly do you find annoying about me?"
"So, many, things", she emphasised each word, "but I love you more for each of them, though it would make me feel better if you lot less candles, seriously those things are death traps."
"But they smell nice"
"Get some insense instead", she suggested.
"Not the same".

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

The Black Lord's Promise
It is said that the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Perhaps this does not matter if the world itself is corrupt. Change, then, is to be feared only by those who are themselves corrupt. The first chapter is an extended prologue that sets the scene of a riparian frontier of an alternate world, somewhere between medieval and the pre-industrial age, during an era of turmoil and possibility. A mysterious man is summoned to bring forth a new kingdom, but does he bring hope or calamity?
