《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.

Armored
600 years have passed since the fall of civilization. The earth went through massive changes and core beasts now reign supreme. All that still exists of mankind are ruins and a scattering of walled cities. Festering pits of the worst humanity has to offer, protected by "knights" clad in a mech-like technology called armor. Nobles rule over everyone, little more than warlords. The middle class wants to make a buck and become nobles. And the rats want to survive. But everyone wants a piece of the ancient technology lost to mankind hundreds of years ago. Find one piece and it could change your life forever. For better or worse. This is my second attempt at a story. I haven't been writing for more than 3 or 4 months all combined. I hope to improve as I go. This is first and foremost a learning experience for me.

Whisper of madness
Thanks to an oath, Mana had been forced to become a living cage of the god Miazanoapte. But his sudden awakening after fifty years has ruined the plans of the gods who are now forced to think of a new alternative. Because Mana was pure voratomores, his body was ideal for the god Miazanoapte to steal. That’s why many of the gods decide to kill him immediately, certain that Miazanoapte will never find a living voratomores to steal his body. The first to doubt the decision is the god who found him and delayed his death for a month until the new sorcerers’ competition where Mana had to show what he was capable of. But because a problem will never come on its own, his lack of memories and weaknesses from birth would prevent him from having an easy path. Placed with other human children, some of them natural-born talents, Mana must learn to overcome his disadvantages to earn the right to live.
