Chapter five
It felt really good to go out into the sun and fresh air after spending so much of my time in the dark and dreary cave. Plus this was the first time I got to enjoy my fully functional body , I'll admit I acted like a complete fool running everywhere and laughing like a little kid. I don't even remember the last time I felt so happy and free.
" Hey Jules , you've been silent for a while. Your not still sulking about the god sight thing are you?"
"No dumbass, I'm trying to fix the damage you caused by your monumentally stupid stunt and making sure it doesn't happen again."
"Oh stop being a wet blanket , we are in a magical land about to have an adventure !"
" You look like you are about to go out on a different type of adventure. At least get yourself a pair of pants before you poke somebodies eyes out with that thing."
" While vulgar, you still have a point. I wonder if there are any animals to hunt in the forest?"
" I'm more worried about animals hunting you in the forest."
" Come on, there is nothing in the forest that can stop praecisus ( Latin for cut ) and tollo ( Latin for negate )"
" I can't believe you named your canes. Well what do you know today is your lucky day, you don't even have to go to the forest, something big is coming your way."
A rather large brown bear broke out from the trees into the clearing . While it wasted time roaring its anger and sending spittle everywhere, I simply pointed praecisus at said slobbering bear and touched it with my ring. The next moment not only the bear but the tree behind it where bisected into two. I was actually rather shocked at how grizzly (pun intended) the scene was. But on the bright side I was about to eat meat for the first time in 700 years, plus I'm sure I could fashion something from the fur to hide junior.

A couple of hours later I was lying down on the grass besides a warm bonfire leisurely enjoying barbecue bear while gazing up at the night sky that was littered with countless stars and a bright gibbous moon.
" Hey Jules, what do you think happened to cause all this."
"I'm not a 100% sure but according to the timeline I compiled I believe that the cause of the mana event is linked to the experiments that were occurring at the CERN super collider "
I couldn't suppress a chuckle as I imagined the looks on their faces when they realized that they had finally pricked a whole in the universe and that something was leaking in.
" Hey Jules, do you you remember the way to the closest settlement. I think its time to say hi to the natives."

The Traveller from Afar
Lucas didn't know what he wanted, but it certainly wasn’t to get dragged into the middle of a another world. Too bad for him the universe had different plans and now he has to deal with the consequences of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. At least it isn't all bad, he gets to finally make use of those cooking lessons he was dragged into. Chapters 1-4 are kind of like a prologue, they are self contained and only give some background information for the rest of the story.*********This is my first attempt trying to write any type of longer form story so I have no idea if any thing I produce will be readable, I've tried to make sure I have a decent level of grammar and there are no spelling mistakes, but if you do find any please let me know. I am also from the home of tea and crumpets (the uk) so if there are some u's and s's your not used to seeing thats probably it. Uh I dont really know what else to put in a story description so just give it a shot and let me know what you think, any pointers would be greatly appeciated.

The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
