The big man scratched his chin and looked around the place full with bodies, "Okay. You've got many bodies to use your knives on. Give me mine. I want him buried as a whole, not in pieces." "Sir, please co – operate." "I want you to do the same thing with me. Give it back to me." And he began to pull the hand of the corpse. Officers backed him up straight away. "What's the matter?" others whimpered after hearing his bellowing. The corpse was put in the van like many others that left. "I want my child's body. Don’t deprive them of a burial." Someone spoke loud. "I want the same to be done." Another person shouted. In a matter of seconds, the whole crowd of two hundred people lost their cool. Some people tackled paramedics and ran inside ambulances to take out the corpses. Within a minute there broke out an unpleasant brawl. Accidentally a cop had shot someone while intending to scare the mad crowd. After it, the people wanted not only the corpses, but cops. Even in the crowd there were some people who had a gun with them. The person shot a cop. This wasn’t expected by anyone in there. The brawl turned out to be violet and bloody. By watching people shoot at them, cops used their guns and began to defend themselves. When they realized there was no way to keep things in control, they forgot their job and remembered their natural instinct. They also fired back. There were around two dozen of cops there and two hundreds of angry men. Even if they emptied their bullets, they weren’t even going to kill one fourth of the crowd. There was no chance of running away as their vehicles were in no more condition to run. They had reported of the outburst but it was going to take some time for back up force to arrive. The local police force was impotent in front of the furious crowd. I should have gone with Olliston. The cop said as a bunch of angry parents pointed their guns at them. He tightened his grip on the trigger and pressed it till there were no bullets left in his cartridge. But the villagers had bullets in their chambers. One of those bullets got the officer right in his head.

It's About the Journey
Alegría "Joy" Rodriguez-Thayer had been many things: a typical American corporate drone, an armchair linguist, a starving musician, and most recently, struggling to make ends meet with a mid-tier non-profit job after being widowed at 40, dreams of world travel stifled and ultimately shattered by a lifetime of missed opportunity. In another time and place, schoolgirl Izumi Yoshiko looked forward to her Coming of Age Day, having lived her whole life in the rural town of Takasane-machi in the land of Mikata-no-kuni. Being one of the few in her town born pureblooded human, she eagerly awaited the prophecy that she would become host to a "reborn soul".With their meeting, they set off to go see this great new world and make new friends along the way.

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!

The Fallen One--a young woman of unknown origin, afflicted with amnesia, has come to the Star where the Crystals once held sway. Imbued with power beyond her ken and chosen to bear a burdensome mantle, she fights for friends, she lives for love, she dies for duty, and like a phoenix rises anew to continue her journey. Her quest is without end--her vigil, everlasting; yet, she does not stand alone against the vicissitudes of the Forces of Ruin. Alone or not, however, she shall become what she must.
