《The Angle of Death and other Mathemagical Hazards》First Sine of Trouble
Advertisement
Plavi was having a rough day. No matter what he did, everything came out .... mediocre. Getting out of bed, he didn't notice the first Sine of Trouble. His teeth felt like a third of them had been brushed some well, some just ok, and the other third were growing pelts of various fuzzy lengths. There was an odd pattern to it, a clumping centered around the best tooth and the worst. His body felt much the same. On average, he was due for a shower, but some spots just felt more clean, and others less. It wasn't even by where on the body. One armpit was putting out massive BO, and the other smelled like he'd just washed. Both eyes were gummy, but both nostrils were unusually clear.
Grumbling to himself, Plavi walked into the bathroom and started the shower. He grabbed a swig of mouthwash to try to clean out the odd feeling in his mouth as he blearily peered at his reflection. To his surprise, there were something like very faint stripes on his face, evenly spaced. He sprayed some of the mouthwash on the mirror in shock, but managed to keep swishing most of the rest for the recommended 30 second rinse, then spat it into the sink.
Grabbing up a hand towel he wiped at the mirror, clearing the spit and mouthwash from it, but leaving the mirror with some faint streaks.
A soprano impish giggle startles him, but fortunately the mouthwash hazard has been dealt with, so no further spew arcs from his mouth.
"What the…." Plavi looks around, then shakes his head. "I must not be fully awake, need to hit the shower."
Suiting action to words, he entered the shower, where, on average, he got soaked. The water felt very odd, instead of merely running down his body, it was actually flowing in standing waves, crests and troughs rippling as the water flowed through them, but the peaks and valleys stayed in the same places.

"I'm clearly dreaming." Finishing up his shower, he turned off the water and dripped dry for a few moments, before grabbing his towel and vigorously wiping himself down. The water formed dark bands of nearly dripping sodden areas interspersed with completely dry lighter areas.
"Clearly." The giggling resumed. Plavi ignored it, whispering to himself quietly. "Just an odd dream."
The giggling faded away as Plavi brushed his teeth.
A childish voice carried over the humming buzz of his electric toothbrush. "That was fun but he's kinda boring, who's next?"
The mirror was splattered with toothpaste, as Plavi recovered from his brush with the first Sine of Trouble.

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
