Daily Writings 6

Hello! Sorry for being late, but I hope you enjoy!

Scene 1

In the fish markets of a small coastal town walks a young, handsome man. He draws attention everywhere he goes and he knows it, though he might not know that it’s often due to his bright indigo hair and clothes more than anything else. Regardless, this fellow always comes to this market at the exact same time, on the exact same day, once every month. The reason why? Well, of course, it’s because he’s fallen in love.

In the same fish markets that the handsome young man walks through is an equally attractive young woman. Her silver hair and clothes give her a timeless appearance, as if she were in some way related to elves. Not only does she share a strange appearance with the young man though, but she also only comes to this market at the exact same time, on the exact same day, once every month. The reason? Well, of course, it’s because she’s fallen in love.

As it has happened every month before this one, the oddly beautiful pair slowly make their way to the same place, weaving through stalls and the crowd, barely paying the busy market any attention. Finally they meet, and like two magnets with opposing poles, they slam together in a fierce and sudden embrace. The busy fish market pays them no attention and, finally, the pair separate with flushed, smiling faces.

“I have something I need to tell you.” Both of them suddenly blurt out. Laughing, they go back and forth on who should go first until the lady says,

“Then why don’t we just say it at the same time? Besides, it might be easier that way.”

“Perfect!” Says the young man. “We’ll go on three. One… Two… Three-”

“I’m actually a dragon!” They both say, copying each other once again, though this time both of their eyes widen in a strange mixture of surprise and fear. Before either can say anything more though, a man at the nearby stall who seems to have heard them says,

“Oi! I’m a dragon too. Now if you two don’t stop blockin’ my stall, I’ll be sure to show you just how angry one can get too!” At this, the two look at each other and roll their eyes, feeling much less tense due to the unexpected interruption. The young man offers his hand before saying, “If you would like, follow me and we can talk. I know just the place where we can… Air things out?” Chuckling at his stupid pun, the lady takes his hand and says,

“That sounds like a great idea.”

Narrative Game 14

Queen Medusa Heading towards Medusa, you check in on the rest of your crew. Fortunately, they report back quickly. Unfortunately, they're busy taking care of all the other Gorgons, so they can't offer much in the way of help. You do manage to get ahold of the Argos though, and they inform you that they only have enough parts for one more augment, but they should be able to send it over as soon as you choose which you'd like. Choose from: [Wing Blades] [Cloaking] [Force Field] //For the sake of this draft, I will be writing it as if the Wing Blades were chosen You inform the Argos that you would like the Wing Blades, and within seconds they appear through the circular portal in front of you, clipping onto your ship underneath the wings. The Wing Blades don't only give you a bigger wingspan, but they also release small bursts of energy. They have a bit of a cooldown, but these bursts not only make cutting easier, but also help you reach top speed almost instantly. It isn&

Narrative Game 13

A Revenge Not So Sweet The new augment makes getting to the braided up Gorgon much easier, but it isn't until Stheno is in range of your turrets that you understand its true value, as the massive braid unwinds and you are facing countless giant snake heads. *Using your wing augments, you slip between the countless heads, moving your ship as if its your own body. During your dance, you notice that a few of the heads are already burnt and can't seem to move as well. Remembering what Trion says, you realize that this must be Roland's work. Suddenly, your vision seems to go red, and you not only weave through the heads with unparalleled precision, but you also begin to fire your blaster turrets non-stop, targeting the weak points your friend left behind. Stheno's many heads screech in agony and try to strike out in waves, some even detaching before chasing you for a bit. It's no use though, as you have gained an almost mechanical precision at dealing with this Gorgon

Narrative Game 9

 Euryale- The Far Springer Still recovering from the first cry, you begin to fly towards the source. Looking back, you hope that Sam and Ga'Rook will be okay, but then you see the massive Gorgon in front of you and realize that you might be the one in trouble. This Gorgon, codenamed Euryale, is easily the size of a small moon, and it looks more like a cavernous, floating pit of fangs than a snake. Its scales look deadly pale, and if it weren't for its eyes, massive yellow slits that follow your every twist and turn, you might have thought it had died long ago. (This point in the chapter applies to protecting the North) Matching its hungry gaze, you adjust your path to engage and soon begin firing. At first it seems as if there's no reaction. Its scales and teeth are too durable to penetrate, but, when a stray blast hits it in the eye, another scream tells you that there's a chance. Unfortunately, that same scream sends you tumbling away, hurtling towards the hoard of Go
