《The Invitation》Chapter 25
Advertisement
Dorian stared at the mix of people and tried to keep track of the hundred conversations that were currently going on.
How did he get here?
He wasn't very good at making plans but this was nowhere close to what he had in mind when he made the mistake of sneaking into the Armeshires.
As if sensing the tension on shore, the ocean waves grew larger and larger and more uncontrollable.
Amid all the chaos, stood Leah.
Calm, composed, and completely in control. This baffled Dorian and he didn't how she did it, mere moments after having a gun pointed at her head. A gun that he had pointed.
He'd always known that there was a risk when he pursued his thirst for vengeance.
He knew that there would be a part of him, perhaps the emotional, softer part of him that would be lost forever. And he had thought that it would be worth it, for most parts of him after his sister's death had been so irreparably damaged, he thought that he could handle whatever came next. But how very wrong he was.
Standing there, in the middle of a group of frenzied adults, Dorian wondered if it was worth it. Maybe he could just give up.
Make peace.
But no.
The Armeshire's had to be punished, and one way or another, Dorian would get his revenge.
"EVERYBODY SHUT UP!", he yelled.
This silenced everyone.
"I know that some of you may be wondering what the hell's happening over here, so I'll tell you. My name is Dorian and you're living with murderers."
Pleased at the stunned looks on their faces, Dorian continued.
"The Armeshire's killed my sister, She had been invited by them, just like you, to their island for a party not so many years ago. They asked her to join their crazy cult and my foolish, trusting sister agreed. Of all the guests, she was the only one who lost her life. And it was all because of the Armeshire's. So, I'm warning you now. Run. Get away from here, or you will be next."

There was a pause.
Silence.
Filled with nothing but the sound of the waves against the shore and the breeze against his skin, when suddenly everyone erupted out, talking at once, over each other, forgetting Dorian was even there.
This was the opening Dorian had been waiting for, and so when the next wave crashed down, Dorian disappeared with the receding waters of the ocean, leaving everyone wondering.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders.

Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.
