《Destroy The Heavens!》Chapter 20-The First Obelisk Found!
Advertisement
A drop of water slips downward, sliding toward the ground, curling around a thin tendril of stone fixated into the uneven surface of the cave. The trickle of water flows to the bottom of the tiny pillar, falling silently, softly onto the face of a boy lying next to the small column of stone.
The boy, waking up slowly, blinks his eyes tiredly as he reaccustoms himself to his surroundings. The cavern surrounding him rests calmly, disturbed only when Astraoth stumbles to his feet, and awakens fully. Scanning the tiny cove, Astraoth quickly notices the guardian's corpse lying motionless only a few scant meters away. With unsteady steps, Astraoth walks slowly over to the beast's remains, and, as he approaches the monster's side, rests his hand quietly on the carcass, feeling its smooth skin. Glancing at its head, Astraoth moves towards it quickly, easily arriving at its most important appendage.
Beginning to gather energy, Astraoth channels it into his hand stabs it into the beast's still corpse, plunging into its head, and begins digging around in its skull. Eventually, Astraoth grasps onto a small sphere and rips it out, finding a tiny blue crystal radiating a soft aura in gentle waves of energy. Smiling broadly, Astraoth places the crystal in his pocket, and glances around the cave, beginning to stare at the center of the cavern, immediately dashing to the small patch of discolored rock he discovered.
Energy converging around his hand, Astraoth places it softly onto that patch of rock and drives it into the floor. The rock cracks, and as energy fluctuates around Astraoth, a thin black pole is revealed. The totem is but half a meter tall but radiates a controlled strength and reserved power. Grasping it tightly, the miniature obelisk is pocketed, and Astraoth prepares to leave the cave, staring sternly at the ceiling of water.

Looking back down at the floor, Astraoth smirks confidently, closes his eyes, and rests his hand on the cold ground. Energy pulses throughout Astraoth's body, and as Astraoth's eyes burst open, he skyrockets into the air, streams of crimson emanating off him.
Piercing through the sheet of water, Astraoth races into the pool of water, and hastily swims upward into the water. With grace, Astraoth maneuvers through the water, darting upward quickly, subsequently arriving at the surface of the pool. Pulling himself out of the spring, Astraoth shakes the water out of his hair and begins to scan his surroundings, attempting to find the date through his surveillance. The survey soon yields results; Astraoth, carefully thinking through this situation, decides he had been unconscious for approximately two days. Astraoth, determining his path to his hideout, leaps into the trees, and races back to his residency, entering quickly.
After removing his old, torn clothes and changing into fresh regalia, Astraoth prepares food and supplies, readying for his next conquest...

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)

The deep timber of the man's voice rings out through the still night and my body shivers in fear and disgust. Suddenly another man is at my side, twining his fingers through my hair. I can't see either of them clearly in the dark. The man, Bennett apparently, leans down close to me and takes in a large lungful of my scent as well. My knees begin to shake in terror and a low growl rumbles from his chest."She does smell good. She's pretty too." He says, pecking a kiss to my cheek. My face crunches in despair as I try to pull from their hold. "Let me go." I beg and the first man chuckles. "Awe. The little human is nervous." He says, amusement evident in his voice. A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan." Bennett says, making the larger man grunt."Don't get attached to her. You know what happened to the last one."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
