Third POV
Volturi Castle, Volterra
Bella, Sulpicia and Aro met Caius and Athendora in the way. While the three ladies talked about the masquerade and what happened that night, Caius and Aro were busy whispering amongst each other, talking about this new person Marcus met.
Aro was both nervous and excited to met this woman. The woman Marcus claimed looked and sounded like her. Jane opened the door to the throne room, letting Aro and others enter first.
In the middle of the room stood Marcus alongside her. "Di-didyme," a shudder left Aro's throat as he looked up and down the lady. Caius stood at the side, stunned into silence while Athendora stared at the lady.
Sulpicia let a small smile grace her face as she saw Aro hug the lady who looked just like his deceased sister. Tears brimmed in her eyes, as well as Athendora's.
Bella stared at the pair as they hugged, her hand clasped in front of her. Aphrodite was slightly confused and overwhelmed by the way everyone were acting, not that she was not liking the attention.
"Uh... hi," Aphrodite said awkwardly when Aro broke the hug. "Didyme-" "Aphrodite," Marcus interrupted Aro, stunning him by the sudden change. Aro stared at Aphrodite before nodding.
"Aphrodite, it is a pleasure to meet you," Aro said, formally. "The-the pleasure is all m-mine," she stuttered. "You need not to be afraid of him," Marcus placed his hand on her lower back to comfort her.
"I... yeah, sure," Aphrodite said, clearly nervous. "It's alright. It can be a bit overwhelming for her," Aro said with a somewhat sympathetic smile.
"You should ask Bella about it," Dora whispered into Bella and Sulpicia's ears. Bella snorted a laugh, making Aro look at her with a questioning look. She gave him an innocent grin, making Aro roll hus eyes and turn to Marcus.

"You will be the death of me, Dora," Bella muttered under her breath. "Aww... you love me that much?" Dora asked, grinning ear-to-ear. "I am sure, she does," Sulpicia chimed in the conversation.
"It's hard not to," Bella said with a smile. The ladies were interrupted by Aro. "If your whispering ends, my ladies. I would like to introduce Aphrodite to you all," Aro said with his signature grin.
"I don't like that grin of yours. Can you wipe it away or do I have to do the honors?" Dora said, mimicking Aro's grin. Bella and Sulpicia tried to stiffle their laughs.
"Excuse Dora, she is a sarcastic tongue, my love," Marcus said, with a smile. A smile which shocked almost everyone. "He... smiles?" Bella whispered. Dora snorted a laugh. "I guess he does... now."
"Silent, both of you," Sulpicia said. Bella and Dora shared a mischievous smile. "Dora, my love, aren't you suppose to say something to Aphrodite?" Caius asked, expecting Dora to introduce herself.
"Of course, my love," Dora said with a flirtatious smile. "I am Mistress Athenodora, wife and mate to Caius," Dora introduced herself with confidence and pride.
"I am Mistress Isabella, mate to Aro," Bella chimed in. "I am Sulpicia." "Nice to meet you all," Aphrodite said. "The pleasure is all ours," Sulpicia said with a calculated smile.
"Now, as much as I would have loved to talk to you, Aphrodite, but I, Caius and Marcus have some pending business to attend to," Aro said. "But isn't it like... 3 in the morning?" Dora said.
"Yes," Aro said casually. "I will be there soon," Caius said with a nod. A weak whine left Dora's throat. "Come on lovebirds. Let's go," Sulpicia teased the couple, receiving a glare from Caius.

Bella chuckled silently, trying to maintain a straight face but failing miserably, as a smile decorated her pale face.
"I am coming," Dora snapped back at Sulpicia, annoyed by the comment. "See you soon," Caius pressed a kiss on Dora's pale cheek and pushed her slightly towards the group of ladies.
"Happy now?" Dora grumbled. "Very," Sulpicia said with a smirk. "Alec, Jane, escort the mistresses to their chambers. Demetri and Felix, escort Aphrodite to Marcus' chambers," Aro commanded.
The said guards bowed and Demetri gestured for Aphrodite to follow him as she wasn't aware of the corridors of the castle.
"I will be waiting," Bella mouthed to Aro before leaving with Dora and Sulpicia.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 2)
Kreet was originally a D&D character. Life 1 was essentially her backstory. Life 2 picks up just after the events of the D&D campaign in the Underdark. At first you won't recognize the characters, but bear with it for a couple chapters and the few important points will be revealed. Also I stole a player's character (with his permission!) in the form of Sigmundurr. Also, unlike Life 1, I'll be posting this slowly over time. Right now I'm writing around chapter 20 and I suspect I'm only halfway. Tone may be a little different. ( Cover art by KuroNeko I'm pretty sure!)

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
