 It was not the first time I had seen a man die. Not even the tenth. It was one of the perks of being elected Emperor at a young age. You see, during my reign as Lord of Terra, I have led my armies to war. And when you lead an army to war, you get to see your enemies kill your allies. Some of them kill themselves with the sheer thought of defeat. Others...

The fallen star on the horizon grew in size as we pressed onward through the sands, our pace unbearably slow. The sun was setting and there was no way of knowing if we would reach our destination before it went dark. All we knew is that this old man was dying, and if we did not save him, his last moments would be spent in agony on a foreign planet that none of us could call home.

It was Ares who had found him three days ago, shuddering under a rock at the base of a massive canyon wall. He carried him back to our camp and from then on, he cared for him as if he were his own father. Every day Ares would go out and hunt for food and water, keeping me from having to do it myself. Eventually he found himself delving into the realms of sorcery, hoping that he could somehow magically heal this old man who suffered from a crippling disease that had twisted his muscles and turned his skin yellowed and pale.

As we approached what appeared to be an ancient building amidst all this sand, Ares suddenly stopped in his tracks and placed a hand on my shoulder to signal me to stop as well. I looked over at him and saw that he was crouching behind a rock with one finger placed against his lips while looking around curiously with wide eyes, like an innocent child standing before the gates of Disneyland for the first time. He crawled over towards me and whispered: “I think I saw something move inside those ruins!”

My impatient eyes scanned the long-forgotten buildings for any signs of life but found none. “I don’t see anything Ares” 
He looked at me as if I insulted him personally. “But-” 
“We need to keep moving lest we lose daylight” I interrupted him and started walking again without giving him any chance to reply. We pressed onwards and in no time we stood before what looked like an ancient doorway that reached up high into the sky like an ominous archway leading us straight into madness itself. As we walked underneath it I felt its weight pressing down on me like an unwelcome guest that just wouldn’t leave, its oppressive presence hanging over our heads like a dark shadow darting across a full moon night sky. 
Ares stepped forward fearlessly into the gloom beyond the doorframe but I pulled him back by his arm before he got too far ahead of me, just in case someone or something tried taking advantage of how exposed he made himself by charging ahead like that. We both held our breaths as we waited for something (anything!) to happen but after ten seconds passed without incident we exhaled at the same time and proceeded further into what appeared to be an empty circular room with a large column blocking most people from seeing what laid beyond it because it stood directly in front of its only exit which seemed unable to move or break despite how many years must have passed since it last supported anything heavier than dust around here. 
I walked slowly around it while being careful not to touch anything until I reached its other side where I found myself looking down onto another floor some five meters lower than where I stood now because it sloped downwards toward what looked like another doorway carved into the stone wall across from me... But something else caught my eye first: A human figure laying on its stomach right next to that doorway covered head-to-toe in black clothing so dark they blended in perfectly with the floor they lay upon while holding their hands together in front of their face in what looked like prayer... No... It wasn’t prayer... It couldn’t be prayer... Because whoever was doing this wasn’t sincere about it... They were lying about everything they said... Their words were lies... Their promises were lies... Everything about them wasn’t real... They were fake... Fake! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE! FAKE!

 

    
A week of sitting in a small hotel room in some shit hole of a country, far away from the people who would happily take his life. A week of watching men walk outside smoking hookah pipes, of women with their faces covered, of men on the street yelling at each other in what he presumed was Arabic. A week of eating food that made him sick and drinking coffee that tasted like dirt.

A week of waiting to make his move. 

Adam grabbed his suitcase and slid it across the carpeted floor to the door, it’s wheels scratching away at the silence as he pulled it down the hallway. When he reached the exit he pushed open the double doors and stepped into the warmth of the suns morning rays. He scanned his surroundings for any sign of danger before walking down the steps and onto the dusty streets. The car he had rented sat waiting for him across from the hotel, a black sedan with tinted windows that would hopefully be able to blend in. He hoisted up his suitcase again and began walking towards it, forcing himself not to look around for anyone watching him; even if there was no one that could see him through the heavy tinting he didn’t want to take any chances.

He hadn’t gotten very far when a man walked past him so close that their shoulders brushed against each other. Adam kept walking towards his car as if nothing had happened, trying not to let his heart beat out of control or betray any hint that he might be nervous by speeding up just slightly. The car was only a few meters away when another man brushed past him, this time Adam bumped into him on purpose, hoping that they might get into an argument and give him an excuse to fight back if they tried anything.

The second man didn’t say anything or even acknowledge Adam’s bump but continued walking at a leisurely pace behind him as if nothing had happened. 

Adam dropped his suitcase and turned around towards the man following him, making sure to roll up his sleeves first so that anyone who saw them would know he was ready for a fight. The second man stopped walking and turned around as well, folding his arms across his chest and looking at Adam with amusement dancing in his eyes.

When neither of them moved for several seconds Adam raised an eyebrow at the man staring at him, “What? You want something?”

The man continued smiling and shook his head slowly before speaking in what was obviously English with a thick Middle Eastern accent, “No you want something boy!” He said with an air of superiority that wouldn’t have been very intimidating if it wasn’t for how big he looked standing there in front of Adam; tall and burly with muscles bulging beneath his jet black shirt, “I am Ahmed!” He explained unnecessarily, pulling out a card from inside his jacket pocket and handing it to Adam while still keeping eye contact with him. “You may call me Al-Ahmed! And I can be your best friend today!” He finished with what Adam assumed was meant to be an enticing smile but only came off as creepy and threatening.




Adam took the card from Ahmed without taking his eyes off of him for even a second, opening it up quickly to read its contents:





	- Ahmed Al-Ahmed

	- Al-Waqf Trading Company

	- 5th Street 32nd District

	- Port Al-Khalifa Zone 5388

	- Mobile +983 3x865x3xxx4

	- Fax +983 3x865x3xxx5

	When he finished reading the information on Ahmed’s card he folded it back up carefully and put it in his own pocket before picking up his suitcase again; still keeping eye contact with Ahmed while doing so despite wanting nothing more than to turn around and run back towards the hotel until he made it safely inside where no one could touch him anymore.

 This was not going well.

In the time I’d been here, I’d seen the sun rise twice, and neither time had it occurred to me that the sky was so big or that the clouds were so white. I hadn’t thought about clouds at all, actually. I mean, who would? Clouds are just there. They don’t seem like they matter much. But now that I was seeing them every day, they were kind of a lot more amazing than they used to be. The more you do something, the less you think about it. That’s true in general, right? If you chop wood for enough years, you stop noticing how heavy an ax is. You just know how to hold it and where to aim, and your body does everything else while your mind thinks about other things. 

Wood-chopping was harder now too. 

I had set off from the village with a small group of men who had volunteered to hunt for food for the village this morning, leaving Skulker behind to protect the people (it would be hard for him to actually fight anyone if he had to keep his mask on). We hadn’t talked about it, but everyone seemed happy to have me back. No one liked being alone and afraid in the dark anymore. We walked through the forest with our bows and arrows ready; we didn’t have any real idea what we were looking for, but we knew there had to be animals out here somewhere. 

I heard a sound between a hiss and a growl up ahead. The rest of my party heard it too because we stopped walking and stood still, staring into the trees ahead of us as hard as we could without moving our heads at all. It came again: low and rumbling and menacing with an edge of rage familiar from every nightmare I'd ever had in my life back home in Amity Park. There should have been nothing scarier than that sound on this side of the world - except maybe for probably every other noise out here - but instead there was just one thing: hope that whatever made that noise would be scared away by our presence in its territory so we could get back home sooner rather than later. 

The third time it came, it sounded even closer and even angrier-er-er-er...and fainter too? 

And then when it came again after that, it sounded even further away than before!  I looked at my friends and they looked back at me as confused as I felt. And then suddenly Skulker flew past us all, straight into the trees where we had heard the animal noises coming from. He flew up higher into the branches than any of us could have jumped or climbed up there and disappeared from sight among all of those leaves rustling in his wake. 

The rest of us looked at each other again for a moment longer than we needed to - none of us wanted to move forward alone - but then someone said “On three," and as one we ran forward into the trees after him until there was no more ground beneath our feet and only air beneath our arrows and overhead only leaves rustling in our wake above us as we went deeper inside into where Skulker had gone so bravely before us...

 “Danny,” Skulker said, “I think I’m falling in love with you.”

Danny was lying on his side, facing away from Skulker, curled into a ball. He paused for several seconds before answering in a quiet voice, “That’s a shame, because I don’t feel the same way. I don’t know if I ever will.”

Skulker lay flat on his back, staring up at the ceiling. He cleared his throat. “Is there someone else?”

Danny didn’t reply right away. When he finally did, he said, “No. There isn’t anyone else. You are... you are very interesting to me and I enjoy your company immensely. You make me laugh. And feel safe in my own home when it doesn’t even belong to me anymore. But that’s all this is, Skulker. Friendship and attraction and nothing more than that. And that is not enough for me to fall in love with you because I know what kind of person you are at heart, and it isn’t good enough for me to give you my feelings like some sort of Valentine Day gift or something equally as lame like that because I deserve better than that and if I can give myself some more time and space maybe I can figure out what those feelings should be and who they should be directed towards and the last thing I want to do is hurt you in any way because if anything happened to you then Danny would never forgive himself for causing it so please don”— Danny cut himself off there and rolled over on his stomach so he could face Skulker as he said, “Please don’t say things like that again or ask questions like that again because it makes me feel like shit after being with you all night long like this and not wanting today to end but at the same time feeling incredibly grateful to have been given such a wonderful experience all while keeping one eye open the entire time just in case something bad happened or someone showed up or an emergency situation unfolded or whatever else so maybe next time we can just have another date night instead of bringing this subject up because yes, it might make us both feel a bit better about things but it does no favours for either of us in the long run and God knows how much more stressful things could get once Vlad finds out about this relationship between the two of us which by the way is his fault anyway." 

The atmosphere between them was suddenly strained by Danny's outburst; the temperature dropped as well as Skulker's peripheral vision became blurry and he went into shock at what he had done earlier that morning which now seemed like ages ago when Danny had first mentioned Vlad's name since then they had been too caught up in their passions to think about him but now here they were having this confrontation which only made everything seem worse than it already was although there was something darkly humorous about the situation considering how genuinely curious Skulker had been about becoming more intimate with Danny during their 'date night' but now there wasn't anything funny about their impromptu argument which only made everything seem worse than it already was but despite that Skulker smiled faintly as Danny retracted his words which had hurt him more than he wanted to admit but at least now he knew how Danny really felt about him which was important information for him to have so he couldn't be too mad at him for what he said to him earlier even though there was still something sour inside of him which told him otherwise but regardless of whether or not he felt upset with Danny's choice of words they were both naked together where they had spent hours earlier kissing and touching each other so why did things have to change now after everything that they've been through together tonight? 

"It's okay," Skulker whispered back softly while holding onto Danny's hand tightly. "I'll try my best to understand."

 I should have known it was too good to be true.

The day I wed Michelangelo I knew it would end in tears. I had a premonition that morning; the sky was black and the birds wouldn't sing. It was as though the world itself wept, for me. 

But what choice did I have? My family needed an heir and Michelangelo was rich and handsome and worldly. Though he was never very gentle with me, and preferred his mistresses over me; I knew I couldn't do better than him... or so I thought.

"Darling, you look beautiful." He started, forcing a smile before lighting his cigarillo. "This country has done wonders for you." 

I looked out my window at the rolling hills of São Paulo, Brazil. The city was bustling with life outside the carriage window but inside, everything was grey: my dress, my husband, even our two children. 

"It has been years since we've returned home." I said to him, looking down at my hands clasped in my lap. "I fear your father will not be pleased to see us after all this time."

"Father is always pleased to see me." He replied a little too quickly to be convincing. "He simply finds it hard to express himself these days." 

I glanced out the window again, taking in the landscape of our homeland as we drove further from Rio de Janeiro and closer to São Paulo. The air smelled cleaner here; there were no smells of sulphur in the air like back home. It was refreshing being here after all these years away; it almost felt like magic. 

When we arrived at our townhouse on Rua Augusta Michelangelo helped me down from the carriage before helping our two children out of their seats as well: nine year old Louisa with her blonde hair and blue eyes; five year old Renata with her jet black hair and dark brown eyes. She looked just like her mother's side of the family while Louisa took more after her father's French heritage (as if she didn't already look enough like him.) Renata took after her father in other ways too... she was impulsive and passionate, just like him. Louisa was more reserved, just like me. Both girls were darling but Renata... she was special somehow. 

 We entered the house through the front door and Michelangelo went upstairs to change out of his travelling clothes while I put the children down for a nap in their shared bedroom before organising tea for us all in the sitting room downstairs where he would meet his father later this afternoon after his nap. 

Just then Renata came running into the room carrying something small in her hand; she pressed it into my palm and closed my fingers around it before disappearing through the doorway again, leaving me alone in the sitting room holding some sort of stone-like object no larger than a coin. "What is this?" I asked myself aloud. It was warm against my skin but when I opened my hand again it wasn't there; instead there was an envelope with my name on it which read: 'For Sophia'. Inside there was another envelope with a card inside that read: 'For Sophia' again followed by a date three weeks hence on which I would meet someone named Marcio who made his living as an apothecary near Rua dos Ourives number 579 on Tuesday evening at seven o clock sharp if I wished to discover something about myself that could change everything...?

 "I'm going. I'm going," I muttered to myself, trying to jam the last of my clothes into my backpack, "Where did I leave that stupid cloak?"

The sounds of clinking glass bottles, whooping and yelling were coming through the wall from next door. They were always loud when they got together to drink; it was a shame they could never hold their liquor. The phone rang and I raced over to pick up the receiver. "Hello?" I said, breathing heavily.

"Savita? What's wrong?" my father asked.

"Nothing! Why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?" 

"No, nothing is wrong. I just talked to your uncle and he seemed worried about you."

"Whatever for? Did that Bansal guy get drunk again? He should know better than to harass me -- I've told him a million times already." 

My dad sighed quietly on the other end of the line. "Your uncle is worried about you being out so late at night by yourself." 

"What do you mean? You don't think it's safe for me to be here by myself tonight, do you?" 

"Well, it is late... But I thought you had someone with you..." My dad sounded concerned now.

"Oh no!" I almost dropped the receiver in my panic. A sudden realization hit me hard and made me sick inside. "I didn't tell anyone where I was going! How am I supposed to find my way back home now?" 













 

 

 

 

 The faint glow of the city lights could be seen in the distance as Savita walked aimlessly along the beachfront at nightfall. The waves crashed hypnotically against the shoreline while her mind wandered aimlessly in its own thoughts as well. She was lost somewhere in her memories of childhood when she caught sight of a lone figure standing further down the beach. It was difficult to see clearly from such a distance but she could make out what looked like an old-fashioned cape fluttering behind him as he paced restlessly along the shoreline, his hands clasped behind his back. With a new wave of dread rising up within her, she started towards him, wondering if this was all some twisted joke played on her by her friends after all with an unexpected guest waiting for her at some remote location as part of a prank gone awry -- she had seen stranger things happen before now after all. As she drew closer she realized that there were two figures standing further down the shoreline; one wore a dark-coloured cloak while the other stood facing him, dressed simply in plain white robes with his arms crossed against his chest. Despite his stoic stance, she could sense the underlying tension in his body language as he continued to argue with the cloaked figure while gesturing wildly with his hands and pointing towards her direction. After watching them for only a few moments longer, she stopped walking towards them and stood rooted to her spot beside a cluster of rocks near where they were arguing instead, watching them intently and listening closely until she heard voices carry through on the wind across the water's surface towards where she was standing on land just then. Her curiosity getting the best of her, she slowly crept forward until she could hear them more clearly now:
 [Cloaked Figure] "...She doesn't have any training or anything we can use..." Cloaked Figure whispered harshly into his companion’s ear in exasperation with a heavy sigh afterwards before continuing quietly again: "We won't even know how long it will take for us to train her before we can send her on this mission..." 
 [White Robe] "...We don't have much choice though... We need to send someone right away..." White Robe replied softly before turning back toward where Savita had been standing moments ago but found only empty sand behind him now where there were no footprints leading further down along the shoreline anymore -- they had not noticed her presence yet. He sighed heavily and began pacing back and forth impatiently along the shoreline once more: "How are we supposed to protect this world from those vile Solarii demons if we can't even protect our own world from ourselves first..." White Robe grumbled under his breath as he paced back and forth... 

 [Cloaked Figure] "...Don't worry about that right now... Let us handle introducing ourselves first," Cloaked Figure replied calmly as he turned towards Savita who was walking towards them now without either noticing nor hearing their conversation at all just then: "Hello Miss," Cloaked Figure greeted politely with an elegant bow as he raised his hand in greeting -- his words had startled Savita slightly just then but she responded quickly and politely with a smile and an awkward curtsey anyway: "H-Hello..."  [White Robe] "...It would seem we have troubled young lady here," White Robe called out solemnly by comparison after taking notice of Savita's startled reaction in return just then: "What troubles you young lady?" White Robe continued after seeing that Savita did not answer immediately after being addressed by both himself and Cloaked Figure several times already: "Can we help you somehow?" White Robe asked kindly as he approached Savita slowly from behind finally with Cloaked Figure following close behind once more: "Do not be afraid young lady," Cloaked Figure added reassuringly as well...  [Cloaked Figure] "...You look very tired young lady," Cloaked Figure went on gently: "Perhaps we can help speed up your journey home somehow?" He offered helpfully finally after watching Savita fidget nervously with embarrassment while she remained silent still just then... [White Robe] "...We do not mean any harm young lady," White Robe added soothingly: "You can trust us..." White Robe stated confidently as well when he saw how nervous Savita appeared after being approached suddenly by both himself and Cloaked Figure earlier without warning earlier: "...Can you not?" He tried adding reassuringly once more... [Cloaked Figure] He glanced over at White Robe briefly before turning back towards Savita again: "...Look, whether or not you trust us is immaterial really because we need your help more than anything else right now anyway..." Cloaked Figure went on gravely again once more after listening to White Robe speak so confidently earlier -- he hesitated momentarily before continuing cautiously on next: "...There is an ancient prophecy that needs fulfilling in order for us to prevent this world from falling prey to those vile demons soon enough..." Cloaked Figure continued solemnly despite taking one last deep breath afterwards before finally revealing everything about himself and White Robe's true identity next: "...We are not here by choice... We are here because we need your help desperately otherwise this world will fall prey to those demons sooner rather than later..." Cloaked Figure paused momentarily again before adding confidently once more without taking another breath afterwards like earlier anymore either: "...There is no time left anymore young lady..." He concluded solemnly as well... [White Robe] "...He speaks truly young lady..." White Robe added calmly but sternly all of a sudden after hearing what his companion said earlier without interrupting him or correcting him when necessary earlier either: "...The prophecy must be fulfilled -- there is no other way around it otherwise our world will surely fall prey to those demons soon enough too..." White Roge repeated solemnly yet urgently again after hearing what his companion said earlier without interrupting him or correcting him when necessary earlier either... A heavy silence fell between them for several moments afterward until Savita spoke up quietly again finally after another long silence passed between them: "Your names please?" She asked curiously this time after another short pause between them instead... [Cloaked Figure] "...I am known here on Earth only as 'The Seeker'," Cloaked Figure replied calmly but seriously finally after seeing that Savita did not respond immediately upon hearing what he said earlier before continuing quietly again afterwards: "This is my friend here -- 'The Watcher'," he went on courteously while gesturing toward White Roge who bowed politely in return while bowing deeply once more only slightly ahead of where 'The Seeker' had bowed previously while doing so slightly ahead of 'The Watcher' slightly beyond where 'The Seeker' had bowed previously still but only slightly so -- they were separated by only a small gap between each other wide enough for only one person side-by-side between them still however which allowed both of them to fit perfectly side-by-side comfortably together perfectly alongside each other perfectly side-by-side alongside each other perfectly along side each other nicely anyway although they tended to wander off occasionally during their conversations sometimes leaving 'The Seeker' alone instead although he preferred solitude most of time anyway most days otherwise however whenever 'The Watcher' happened to wander off looking elsewhere searching for something nearby instead whenever 'The Seeker' asked him about something important needing answered for example instead whenever he happened to ask him about something important needing answered for example instead which usually led him straight towards wherever whatever or whoever needed finding or helping next eventually instead whenever 'The Watcher' happened to wander off looking elsewhere searching for something nearby instead whenever

 "Alright, its my turn now." I stated before standing up.

Walking over to the air hockey table we had set up in the middle of the room, I grabbed the puck and looked at her. She sat on top of the couch with a pillow behind her back and legs crossed.

"Are you ready?"

She smiled, "Always." 

I took a deep breath, walked back over to her, and placed the puck on her left knee. She smirked as I made my way down to kneel at her feet. Looking up at her for approval, she nodded and reached for my head. 

Her hands were soft, but I could feel her nails against my scalp as she caressed my hair. The warm feeling of her hands contrasted with the cool metal of her rings made me shiver. My eyes closed as I savored the moment, which was abruptly ended by the puck being removed from my grasp. 

I opened them to see there was now a puck sitting on my shoulder. Her smile was wide and bright, but there was an underlying excitement that I couldn't quite place. Before I could ask what this meant, she stood up and began to unbutton her blouse. As it fell to the floor behind her, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled it off in one fluid motion. 





	 There was a slight chill in the room that gave way to goosebumps across both our bodies as we stood looking at each other. She bit down on her bottom lip as she slowly approached me again, puck still sitting on my shoulder. My eyes followed hers down to where she was looking: directly below my chin. Her hand pressed against my forehead as she bent down to bring our faces closer together so that we could kiss. With a swift motion, she pushed me forward while bringing herself closer so that we were kissing deeply while lying down on top of each other on the carpeted floor.
