“... ... ...” Her body blinked, her eyes wide open in profound bewilderment. Unsurprisingly and understandably, the girl was confused, her mind startled, taken by surprise. After all, it wasn't exactly a common occurrence to be awoken by your favourite doll in the middle of the night after she had suddenly turned alive. It was a rather inconceivable scenario, to say the least. No sane person could reasonably expect to encounter a living doll during sleep, and yet such was the case. Thus, her body's confusion was perfectly understandable. Her body didn't understand, unable to comprehend, but nor did little Aurora. Nobody did. The reasons for her sudden dollification remained an unsolvable riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. “... ... ...”
“... ... ...” Little Aurora met her stare, clenching her fists. This was the moment she had waited for. This was her opportunity.
Her body started rubbing her eyes, her heavy eyelids still half asleep. “... ... ... Am ... I ... dreaming?”
Little Aurora cleared her throat and her non existent vocal cords, shaking her little doll head. “Ahem, you are not ... I must inform you that this is not a dream ... Unfortunately ...”
...
... ...
... ... ...
“... ... ...” Her mind froze, her eyes merely blinking at her. “... Dolly, ... are ... you ... really ... talking?”
“...” Little Aurora merely nodded, even though it felt strange to be on the receiving end and to be called ‘dolly’. But such was life ...
“... ... ...” Her body fell silent, still gathering her thoughts. “You ... are ... really ... talking?”
“...” Little Aurora nodded, her neck moving.
“... to me ... directly?”
“...” Little Aurora nodded.
“And this is not a dream, right?”
“...” Little Aurora nodded, more vigorously than before.
...
... ...
... ... ...
“... ... ...” Her body pinched her cheeks, quite forcefully so. Her nails were digging deep into her skin. It must have been a painful experience. “Ouchie ... Ouch ... Ouch ... I guess, ... you are right, dolly ... Apparently, this is not a dream ... ... ...”

Little Aurora agreed, “Indeed, it is not.” Not that she didn't tell her so, but her doubts were understandable ...
“...”
“...”
“...” Her body and she were exchanging confused looks. They both were at a loss, unsure what to say and do.
“...” Her body started pondering, her hand stroking her chin. “So to reiterate, you are dolly, aren't you?”
Little Aurora nodded. “Yes, I am.” Currently, at least.
“And you are talking to me?”
“Indeed”, little Aurora concurred.
“And I am not dreaming?” Her body still eyed her with suspicion and ample amounts of disbelief.
“Correct.”
“... ... ... And I haven't gone insane? At least, not yet, right?”
“Well, ...” Little Aurora tilted her head, reflecting. “Not that I can say for sure, but I don't think so ...”
Her body rolled her eyes, a heavy sigh escaping her. “How encouraging ...” Her reaction and her words startled little Aurora. The strong sarcastic undertone caught her by surprise. It was not something she would have expected ... It was ... unusual for her ...
Her body pinched the bridge of her nose in an exasperated manner. “Anyway, now that we have verified your claim and established that you are indeed a talking, living doll, and not a figment of my imagination and the product of my slipping grip on reality ... Now, my last question ...”
“Eh?” Little Aurora raised her gaze.
“Who ... are you?” Her eyes narrowed and little Aurora stiffened. There was a frigid iciness in her eyes that she had never seen or felt before in her life. Even the harsh, judging stare of her father paled in comparison. Her glowing purple irises harboured an ominous, sinister sense of danger, suffocating her. Her eyes ... were scary.
“...” Little Aurora averted her eyes, her tongue stuck in her throat. She could never have imagined that her eyes capable of such. These cold, oppressive eyes ... They weren't like hers, at all. Wasn't she all fluffy and cuddly? Didn't her father always say that she was too soft and squeamish for her own good?

Her body, however, didn't relent, pursuing the matter further. “I asked you a question, doll. Answer me, who are you, or rather what are you?” A pair of narrowed eyes lent further weight to her words.
Little Aurora gulped, her hands fidgeting nervously. “Well, ... you see, that is a rather complicated matter.”
Her body raised a questioning eyebrow, decidedly unconvinced. “Is it? More complicated than a living doll talking to me after midnight? I sincerely doubt so. Listen, doll, I have time and patience. So, please, proceed. I will listen.” Her voice exuded an unfamiliar firmness and eloquence.
“Hmm ...” Little Aurora fell silent. It turned out that she had apparently a way with words, quite unexpectedly so. So many hidden talents that she possessed and never knew about. Hidden talents aside, however, there were more important matters to address.
Little Aurora mustered her courage, clenching her tiny fists. “Well, you see, the thing is, I am you.”
“... ... ...” Her body blinked. “You are ... me?”
Her tiny head nodded. “Yes, I am you.”
Her body didn't look convinced. “And that is supposed to mean?”
This was her sign. An introduction was in order. Little Aurora gathered her resolve and rose to perform an improvised curtsy, the way she was taught. “My name is Lady Aurora von Schwarz. I am the heiress of the proud House von Schwarz, and I am you.”

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.

In a world created from the love of two goddesses exists endless possibilities. The children of the two goddesses were given the gift of mana, a tool that can weave miracles through thoughts. Yet, with unlimited possibilities, prosperity was the first that disappeared in the world.While there was no difference between the two faction except for the fact that they were born from different mothers, conflict eventually arose out of that single disparity.

Because of the desire to eliminate the proclaimed heretics, the world was plunged into chaos and war.Those born to lead the children of the darkness were originally kind hearted souls.

The child, born on the horizon that separates darkness and light, was given the blessing of both the Goddess of Darkness and the Goddess of Light. Because he did not exist within either side of the horizon, he was alone. Kept hidden within the castle of his father, he saw little of the world. But, he was content with the life he was given. He had loved his mother and father far more than he loved the world. As long as they were beside him, he did not feel alone. But, when the fated day arrived, his life was shattered.
