Victoria found herself seated in a conference room. Juan and Gerry had led her to the room and placed her there without a word as they stood guard at the door. For over an hour she found herself pacing in worry. “This is ridiculous,” She cried as she finally sat. “I can at least do something productive. “ She mused aloud. She focused on the first of many notifications that were flashing before her eyes.

Victoria started to muse about her troubles. She had one stat point. She had originally wanted to build up her dexterity. She had to consider though what kind of trouble she had to be in. She thought she might need to be able to talk her way out of the predicament she found herself in, even if she didn’t know what that was.”What a waste—” she muttered then assigned her point.

“And what exactly do you perceive to be a waste young lady?” She heard from the corner of the room Startled Victoria looked up. Erasmus was standing there with a scowl on his face. “Just what exactly is wasteful in this situation?” The large man growled. Reflexively she swallowed and tried to back up in the chair, causing her to nearly fall over.
“Before she realized it she found herself telling him the truth. “I leveled a lot today.” She said nervously. “Sunny… uh, Saundra, and we found a dungeon, and I had a skill point I had gained.” She started babbling as she stared the huge man in the eyes. “I had originally wanted to use it to improve my dexterity but then I realized….”
“You realized what young woman? Did you realize you have created a huge problem for Us? Formed? Two days ago I kept you out of jail and this morning you seem set upon sending yourself and our entire order there!” He barked at her in anger.
“No!” the teenager said reacting in the time-honored tradition. She grew both angry and defensive. “All I did was what S. S. Sunny told me to we went to check on the girls that we thought had the ensec larvae in them.” She said fearfully. “Ask her that's all we did…”
“I have but I need to know why were you at the police station this morning.” The old man said as he bent over the teenager, looming over her and projecting animosity.
“I didn’t.” She said in surprise. “Sunny picked me up real early. I would have preferred to sleep in but she was ready to go.” The teen replied.
“The police have you on video,” Erasmus growled. “They have you on video taking your knife and assaulting a couple of police officers.”

“What—” She said her eyes going wide and her mouth open. “Why would I need that knife?” See said angrily then held up her hand. She glanced at it and a pale blue blade formed out of the ether then fell a short distance into the palm of her hand. “I found a new spell last night when I was training.” Erasmus stepped back in surprise when he saw the blade the young girl had materialized in her hand.
“BY the beard.” He gasped.
By this time the teenager was wound up and angry. “Ask Sunny. She will tell you. We killed the one Larvae that had taken over the girl's family. Then we found a dungeon and while in it we found a goblin town. Which Sunny was not happy about.” The girl started pulling things out of her storage to both show and throw at the old man. “We found gems, and ore…”She said tossing the rocks at his large frame. “Then we found guns lots of guns—”
“Wait guns?” He asked in surprise as he caught the pistol the girl had thrown at him before it could strike him and do him harm. He lifted it to his eye and began to examine it. “Yes, interesting. And you say you found this in a dungeon?” She said looking at him, his previous ire seemingly forgotten.”
“Well yeah. But what's this about the cops.” She said glaring at him. He scratched his beard then nodded.
“Huh, yes.” He said then sighed and dragged out the chair across from her and finally sat. “There is an arrest warrant out for you, you are to be considered armed and dangerous.”
“Good god.” The teen cried then let her head fall into her hands. “I’ve been a hunter for three days? And already I've been arrested once and have a warrant against me? This has got to be a record.”
“Oh, no.” the older man said. The record was set by one of my relatives he was arrested five times in two days.” He said with a chuckle. “Now—” He started to speak then peered at her. “Do you wear contacts?”
“No…why?” She asked suspiciously.
“The bolo..er be on the lookout for said you had blue eyes. Yours are clearly brown…”
“What does that mean?” Victoria asked.
“I don’t know just that things are not adding up.” The old man said once more scratching his chin looking at the young woman in thought. “Here is what we are going to do.” He said as he laid out his plan.

Sage Fall
Out of hiatus, but with a hitch. . Read most recent "chapter", Status Update, for more info. Trapped for thousands of years. Betrayed by the ones he held dear, the ones he called family. Finally set free by happenstance, Amrin sets out to find the ones that locked him in the heart of a mountain. Find the answers he's been asking himself while conscious within the darkness. The world has changed in his time away. Learning new things, meeting new people, struggling with questions he may never get the answers to. He will journey through this new world and search for the "family" that betrayed him and figure out why they did it. If they did not have the answers he was looking for, there would be consequences. *This is a VERY HEAVY story driven fiction (read: can be slow!). There are some sections of action, drama and soon/eventually, mature related content (sexuality and gore). There are going to be sections with lots of text and little dialogue. There's going to be sections with lots of dialogue and little descriptive narration. ***Word of warning and advice. To save yourself the potential disappointment! The MC is mostly a pacifist! If you're looking for a super OP protagonist that uses his powers to get what he wants and to hell with the consequences, this story IS NOT for you. There are times when it should be obvious why, other's it's only implied. Either way, if you are expecting "shoot first ask questions later" mentality from the MC, regardless of how powerful he is, save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere. I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all the readers and commenters of my story. It's all the positive feedback and comments that really give me the motivation to keep going. Honestly. It sounds cheesy, but it's true. So, again. Thank you!
