Two days after i heard this conversation unexpectedly Maglor decided that he wanted to speak to me. We hadn't talk from then when i moved tents. Basically he didn't even told me earlier something. He just peeked in my tent and said:
"We have to talk"
"Ah ! Hi?! What you doing there ? I thought you're not gonna speak to me again" i said feeling extremely anxious.
"Yeah that was my first though. But i wanted from you to explain me why."
"Why what?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
"I told you i had to lie! It was a difficult situation and i couldn't find another way to avoid the conversation ! It was Celegorm and Caranthir too there!I had to!" I tried to justify myself.
"But in this way you broke your words!"
"No i did not! This was not a betrayal. Fingon had a plan to save Maedhros andhe needed help thats all!I didn't betray anyone in this way! It is not a betrayal!Im trying to help you in this way instead!"
"So you agree you helped him!?"
"You already found what i did! I have not to say it straight to understand it!"
"You know that Fingon propably will never return right?"
"He will! Obviously!"
"How do you know it?"
"Because I know he will!"i said crossing my arms.
"You could just not talk !To prevent lying!"
"Then you would had been more suspicious about me!"
"Why didn't tell me
then?"
"To break two words?"
"I trusted you from the beginning! I thought you would trust me to!"
"I trust you! But i couldn't talk that moment!"
"Thats how humans react? Without honestly?"
"That have nothing to do with my race! If you were in my place what will you do?i had to gain time! I lied to gain time! It was an option even not the better one thats what i thought! Omg you were three men in frond of me with a gigantic hound and you think i didn't panicked when you started suspect me?"

"I didn't suspect you!"
"But Your brothers did! Caranthir don't like me that much! I knew he could read that i was lying. But telling nothing boesnt mean thay he couldn't read me! At least i defend myself!"
"I still think you had not to lie!But if humans act like that.."
"Listen. I'm sorry . I make a mistake. But as a human i can just leave it behind and go on. That's the problem with you the elves. You struggle to let go and remain in the past. Humans even the are mortals try to look into the future"
"So youre telling me to forget it and go on?"
"I know is difficult to trust me again now! But you cant stand to this forever! You told me do many times i was a spy or a traitor but I didn't gave up untill you recognised i was not and gain you friendship"
"Maybe it is a way. But the lies still there.."
"Can i tell something more than sorry right now to forgive me?"
"A bigger sorry"
"Okay !SORRY MAGLOR!"
"That's better"
"Am i forgiven?"
"I'll think about it.."
"I can give you a hug too then" I said unexpectedly and hug him.(brain freeze again as you expected) He was totally confused from my act but he hugged me back .
After a few seconds it was a bit akward so he pulled me away slowly. He look sad i could say. I didn't knew my lies will affect him that much. Maybe because he started to believe that really i was a traitor as his brothers said affected him more.
"So this hug.. Was is worth it? "
"Totally!"

This future sci-fi fantasy follows the progression of a few main characters as they navigate their unique spheres of life in the year 2242. The story focuses heavily on themes of guilt, personal failing, and penance. The conflict revolves around two main concepts: Man vs. Himself (Internal conflict) and Man vs Man (External conflict). The internal conflicts focus on many of the characters' inner demons and how each of them deal with the scars of the past. The external conflict centers around a mysterious criminal organization called Nexus that conducts human trafficking. There are three groups of main characters. The first group belong to a vigilante mercenary organization called Ab Aeterno. Titus, Venna, and Benjamin are Achilles team. This team is a part of Ab Aeterno's special forces branch which is designated Demon Stalkers. Their goal and mission is to perform assassinations, abductions, and destabilization operations on criminal organizations throughout the solar system. Their current mission places them directly in the path of Nexus. Titus interacted with them in his past and they seem to have unlimited reach, resources, and power. As the team faces this threat, old wounds will surface and dangerous connections to the past will emerge. The second group of characters are on the Mars colony. Randal Page is an analyst for a talent scout company on Mars. He is faced with the reality that the company he thought he was working for is in fact Nexus. His story centers around his coming to realize the duplicity of the company he works for and then his response to the startling realization of his own ignorant involvement. Also on Mars is a woman named FaRarra Njokko. She is a Nexus sex slave in a brothel on Mars and is known by the stage name of Stardust. She is striving to escape when her path crosses with Randal. The final main character is Preston Coretel. He is a monk with a mysterious and shady past. He is on the run from Nexus in more ways than one.

8 115Murder the Mountains: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG
Murder the Mountains is a dark fantasy LitRPG in the vein of games like Dark Souls and Planescape Torment. Matt’s life is in limbo, so he has nothing but time to waste playing videogames. Enter cult gaming sensation, Cannibal Hymn: A punishing multiplayer RPG set in a grim world conjured from the imagery of Ancient Central and South America. The Yunka Coast is a colorful and macabre land of sand and surf, barren dunes, mysterious ruins, blood-crazed gods, eldritch liches, ferocious beasts, brutal headhunters, exotic cultures, feudal politics, weird psychedelic drugs, and treasure-littered tombs. But there's something sinister beneath the surface... The game's development team turned up dead in a grizzly murder-suicide before release, strange glitches don't seem random, and Matt's friend, Jess, has gone missing. In order to find her, Matt must progress through the game and uncover its mysteries, persevering through constant set-backs, and slaying his way through what or whoever gets in his way. The MC starts from the bottom and must struggle his way to cutting down the gods and seizing control of the game’s PVP economy and political structure. Meanwhile, the story of the world is told through lore and environmental storytelling, and something dark and unsettling stalks Matt’s day to day life.
8 188The Dragons Predicament
Monsters, humans, war. Within their shielded cities of Technomagi, the humans live their lives in small boxes. Only venturing out of their bubbles with gunslingers or mages trained to defend against the beasts outside. Teleportation to other cities is normal, done through square boxes on rails that are housed underground. These days, the disparity between humans and us has grown to a breaking point. In a single night: an entire nation of monsters vanished. A cloud and flash of light that all had seen. Only the strongest could survive against their might and stubborn ingenuity. Those terrifying, amazing humans. We had laughed at first. ‘What possible danger is there? They’re just humans’. That was centuries ago by this point, of course. We all realized the moment we saw that metal tube fall. There is something that only a human can accomplish, through their ability to see light even in the darkest situation. You don’t win against humans. You either die with them or live to serve them.
