《Divine Macabre: The Philosopher》An Eternal Flame (Part 7)

Edward bit his lips from pain when Kyoko bandaged his arms. They had a surplus of them in a bag that Lorenzo wore. Aru didn’t say anything, she probably didn’t want to explain herself.
“A medic really needs to see this. Let’s wait for Lorenzo and the huntress for a moment, and then let’s go” said the violet-haired girl.
“I just wonder what you argued about…” whispered Kasei, distrustful.
“It’s complicated, but everything’s okay” said the golden-haired and hissed from pain again.
“WHAT’S OKAY?” she exploded. “THIS WOMAN BURNED YOUR HANDS, IN WHAT WAY IS THIS OKAY?”
“I don’t know what made me act like that…” Aru said with embarrasment in her voice.
“Just you wait, I’ll…”
“DON’T SCARE MY MASTER!” Eris screeched and stepped closer in Kasei’s direction.
“Enough” ordered Kyoko. “Let’s say it was a one-time misunderstanding. Alright, master?”
“Alright…” said Aru, dropping her head. Doors opened, and through them came Ivory with Lorenzo in his animal form. She put him on the ground, he dusted himself off then. The huntress walked up to Aru, and put a seal in her hand.
“I did my job, it won’t be of any use to me. Take it” she said with a smile.
“Well. It’ll be our shared seal ‘til the finals, right, Aru?” asked Ed, also smiling.
“Excuse me…?” asked Eris quietly. “No, no! DON’T TELL ME THAT YOU DECIDED TO…”
“Yes” Aru confirmed. “Edward is staying with us until the finals.”
“What the fuck…” the black-haired girl commented this with a bad word and retired resigned from the group.
“I have to go now. Thank you Aru, Edward. And Lorenzo. I’m really grateful that you helped me in catching the cannibal. I hope that we’ll meet again!” she said and turned around, started walking away.

“Ivory!” Lorenzo shouted. She stopped for a moment and looked in his direction. “We’ll meet again. There are so many things I’d like to ask you, about… what you told me.”
“Alright.” She smiled. “But now I have to go harvest, as I call it. But you’ll see, I’ll find you!” she laughed and left the hideout. Aru was looking at the ground, but suddenly ran after her. Ivory summoned her long, black cloak and put it on.
“Hm? Aru, did something happen?”
“I just… thank you. For help, for taking care of Lorenzo, for this seal…”
“Don’t mention it!” she said with a mysterious smile, turning her face in her direction. “But soon you won’t need any seal. Of course, if you manage to discover ‘it’ in time. Farewell!”
Ivory then turned away, focused magic in her legs and disappeared in a flash of magic. Aru stood with slightly opened lips.
“What could this mean…?” she asked herself out loud.

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
