《MAGE CHRONICLES: THE BEGINNING.》1

“I’ve got to say your ink is pretty unique.”
“Thanks, buy me a drink and I might show you the tramp stamp that goes with it,” I say, turning to the person who dares interrupt my solitude. It may be in a bar, but it was still sacred.
Oh my God! You are one beautiful man.
A snort comes from behind the gorgeous specimen in front of me, and I switch my focus, albeit reluctantly. I mean, the guy was fine.
“Woooah! What is in the water where you come from? Girl, you are smoking,” I tell the sexy goddess behind the broody hottie, “you kind of look like that chick from that movie, The old guard.”
“So, what’s up? I’m pretty sure you’re not picking me up, not with sex on legs here,” I say, turning to BH.
“Oooooohhhh! Is it a threesome, if so no thank you,” I declare, turning back to my drink.
“Uhhhhhhmm,”
“We are not really here for that.”
Ok, Mahi you tried, your evil therapist better note that, I tell myself pulling my resting bitch face on and turning to the annoying gnats, sexy ones yes but still gnats.
“Talk.”
“We have an offer for you”
“Pass.”
“You are not telling it right,” the hottie with them legs huffs in frustration, scooting to the front. At this point, I’m signalling Ryder #myfavoritebartender for a refill.
“Do you believe in mythical creatures, girl?”
“Maybe, why?”
“Well, long story short, we are mage recruiters, basically there are two groups; light and shadow mages.”
“Which are you? ”
“Shadow.”
“Cool,” I say gesturing for Ryder to pick up his pace.
“And for the past two months, you’ve been pinging on our radar like crazy, but every time we get close to finding you, you disappear.”

“Like we followed you here, but about ten minutes since you got into this bar, your signature disappeared.”
“Look,” I say grabbing my glass, “that is good and all, but you want me to believe I’m a mage as in a fae, elf, or shifter? that shit? yeah no, I’m not that drunk.”
“Look here, midget...”
“Oh look, he found his tongue, was wondering if you were just here for the intimidation, it’s not working by the way.”
“You are in danger. If we found you, you bet your ass others are going to and we can’t promise they will be nice.”
“Well, that is nice and all, but you see those others, they beat you here and their pitch was way better. I’m surprised you didn’t see them, some mages you are, so once again no thank you.”
“So why didn’t you go with them?”
“I need Ryder’s stuff to survive. I don’t do well under authority and they were light mages.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“I found out that most of the time the people who claim and play nice are the meanest mother truckers on the planet and more often than not also have a God complex, besides they were too pretty and bright.”
“What’s wrong with pretty?”
“Nothing I like pretty but with a side of broody and rugged,” I say, smirking at BH
“I like her,” Andy says.
She really looks like Andy from The Old Guard.
“What’s your name? I can’t keep calling you Andy in my head.”
“I liked that movie,” she says, smirking.
The dude scoffs, making me turn to him in surprise. “am I missing something here?”
“Hi, I’m Morrigan, but you can call me Mor.”

“Hold up, was the movie by any chance about you?”
“Yes, though they missed quite a few details.”
“But wait, isn’t Morrigan Irish or something like that, Andromache gave a Grecian or Roman vibe.”
“Staying in one place for long among humans is quite a task for immortals, so I tend to move around a lot. Different cultures give different names. I’ve forgotten some of them.”
“What's your original name?”
“The Morrigan.”
“So, you’re the crow lady.”
“For someone who’s sceptical about immortals and magic, you seem to know a lot.”
“I like fantasy and paranormal books. Fae ones, especially RH romance.”
“Well, you could be her new best friend,” BH comments.
“Ok,” I say, finishing up my drink, “this has been fun but I’ve got to jet.”
And with that, I haul ass with one last wave to Ryder, who blows me a kiss.

Whites' Veil
A boy leaves his hometown, tired of his menial life and, most importantly, the poverty of his village. His destination is Rubia, Capital of the Five Continents; and his goal, money to bring home. Though, that may just be an excuse; an excuse for him to leave the confines of his so-far idolised life--a life free from the endless adoration and praise, for reasons he detests. So he invites you to join him, to grow alongside him and to, one day, celebrate next to him. The year is 97c. Welcome to the Pentas Dale. Welcome to Whites' Veil... ‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵ Useful info.

Hattoran Chronicle
There is a hostile sky above me. Man will never conquer space. He may live in it, but he will never conquer it. The sky above is void, and very black, and very hostile. -- Joseph Kittinger A pair of extragalactic supersoldiers are betrayed and stranded in the Milky Way at the end of the 29th century, potentially shaking the balance of power within the galaxy, but there's far more going on than anyone realizes. Allies are few in a galaxy eager to learn their secrets, and their ancient enemy continues to threaten the existence of the entire universe. The two Hattorans are forced to rely on each other and a few unlikely allies to solve a problem they for once can't simply fight their way out of.(Technically Star Trek fanfic but outside of existing storylines and I'm considering how easily the serial numbers could be filed off) This is all in progress and constructive feedback is strongly encouraged! I've got a lot in the air as I bring this all together.
