《Sekai》Chapter 5: New Respective
Advertisement
Hartea could be seen walking out of the forest and onto the mountain slope -- with Futakuchi on his back, and Enko, Hagan, and Jerry would begin to walk back to the village, as she would look at the sky and slowly smile
Futakuchi: Thank you Hartea. . .you don't need to carry me though. . .
Hartea: Nah, you don't wanna do anything when you're hungry. . .Futakuchi? Right? Hey, you'll need a nickname, how about Futa? Oh, wait no nevermind you don't wanna be called that.
Futakuchi giggled, nodding as her stomach would growl for a little, as she would blush a little
Futakuchi: Yeah, I don't think I'd like that either. . .
Enko: We should call you crazy hair lady with two mouths!
Hagan: But that's way too long of a name!
Enko: Whaaat? What's wrong with it being a long name?
Hagan: It'll get pretty boring quickly.
Jerry: Yeah, how about just Two Mouths?
Hartea: How about. . .Futakuchi!
Jerry: PERFECT.
Enko, Hagan, and Futakuchi would laugh as they would approach the village and Enko and Hagan would stretch as they yawned and high fived each other. Hartea would nod, as he would look around the now clear skied village.
Hagan: Well, I'm gonna take my little kid home, but. . .I haven't said yet, but thank you. You really saved our lives back there! By the way, what's your name?
Hartea would smile, as he would nod in agreement, giving the man the thumbs up as a small amount of blush would spread on his face
Hartea: Aww, thanks! Don't mention it, I was glad to help -- and, my name is Hartea. A pleasure to meet you.
Hagan would hold his hand to Hartea, with his other hand hidden away in his pocket. Hartea would look at Hagan's hand as he would shake the man's hand, locking onto it with a firm grip, Hagan would then flip Hartea's hand around, as he would drop a couple of coins in his hand. Hartea would look up at the man, as he would turn his hand into the fist, as the coins would jingle around in his hand.
Hagan: That'll be enough money to get you and that girl something. You know, even though she tried to eat me, I think I'm cool with her now!

Hartea: Awesome. Tell your wife I said hi then! Later Mr.Hagan, see ya' Enko!
With Enko and Hagan on their way back home, it only left Hartea with Futakuchi and Jerry, Jerry would walk to the right, as he would wave at them to give them a notation to follow him.
Jerry: Alright you two, follow me!
They would follow Jerry until they ended up in front of a diner, Hartea would place Futakuchi on the ground as the two walked towards the counter of the table, Hartea would look above him and notice something that caught his attention -- they sold pizza here! Hartea would drop his money on the counter, as the lady looked up at him surprised, Hartea would point towards the poster or menu with the pizza above him, as he kept his eyes on the girl
Hartea: I'll take one pizza!
Lady: Okay. . .and anything else you may want to order, sir?
Hartea: Sir. . .Hmm. . .
Hartea narrowed his eyes down at the girl, with his hand on his chin as he would slowly nod
Hartea: Yes. . .
After one last word to the lady behind the counter, Hartea would look back at Jerry, who waved at Hartea and walked out of the diner. Hartea would then take a seat on the opposite side of the table, the adjacent side of where Futakuchi was sitting, as he sat her food on the table and slid the place closer to her
Hartea: There you go, Fu. I don't know if this is the kinda food you normally eat -- but here you go!
Futakuchi: Thank you. . .Hartea, was it?
Hartea: Yup, that's me!
Futakuchi: Hartea. . .why didn't you just kill me?
Hartea: Whooa, why would I do that?
Futakuchi: Because of this second mouth. . .This mouth lashes out mostly at night time to eat whatever's around to keep it from starving. . .IWhat if. . .later on today, the beast comes back out. . .I could eat everyone in the village. . .
Hartea: Pffft, don't worry I've got you covered! And plus
Futakuchi: . . .
Hartea: . . .
Futakuchi: P-Plus what?
Hartea: ANYWAYS, Shouldn't you be eating right now?
Futakuchi(Thoughts): Did he hear me??

Futakuchi: Yes. . I should. Thank you for the meal, Hartea.
After Futakuchi had finished her meal, the two would walk out of the diner, with Hartea hiding a cup behind his back and Futakuchi holding her hands in front of her, as he would slowly reveal the cup from hiding behind him
Futakuchi: I. . .think I might go back to the village. . .but I see why you brought me here. . .I could live here and eat so I won't starve. . .but, what do you think Harte.........
Futakuchi would turn towards Hartea, as she caught him drinking from the straw of the cup behind him. With Hartea's eyes widen and with him frozen in spot, it's almost as if Hartea had been caught taking something he wasn't supposed to. As after he stood still for a couple of seconds, Hartea would begin to suck the liquid from out of his straw very slowly
Futakuchi: I.....where did you get that from?
Hartea would stop drinking, holding the cup behind him once more
Hartea: I got it from the lady behind the counter.
Futakuchi: But....why do you act as if you're ashamed to drink it in front of me?
Hartea: It's an addiction. I don't want you to see me like this.
Hartea would rotate his straw around in a circle, as he continued to drink whatever it is he is drinking.
Futakuchi: .....What is that?
Hartea: It's a Root beer float.
Futakuchi: I see...
???: ENKO, HAGAN -- LET'S GO BOYS. IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE, WITH A FESTIVAL!
Hartea would stop walking and Futakuchi would mimic his movement, as Hartea looked at the direction of the voice, as he saw the woman who told him about her missing husband and child. As he saw Hagan and Enko following behind her, as Hagan frowned, as he looked as if he didn't want to be apart of their event, as the woman had Hagan's head through the opening of her arm, as she rubbed her knuckles on top of his head, as the small child Enko followed behind them, laughing, smiling, and just having the time of his life. A smile melted its way on Hartea's face, just watching them put him in peace, as he closed his eyes, inhaled, and exhaled.
Futakuchi: . . .Hartea?
Hartea: Sorry. . .it's just. . .that looking at them all together takes me back. . .way back. There was this time where my mom had put my dad in a headlock because dad said he could "1 v 1 her and one shot". . .and my mom beat him down, and I was there laughing, my dad tried to break out of mom's grip but mom showed no mercy, and my big bro tried to help dad out. Those moments. . .were really fun, I miss. . I miss those days. . .
Lady: Heeey, Hartea!
Hartea would then look at Enko's mother, as she waved at Hartea with Hagan still trapped in the mighty grip of her arm, as Enko ran towards Hartea and gave wrapped his tiny arms around Hartea's waist, nuzzling his cheek against Hartea's hip.
Hagan: Natalie, lemme go! I'll go with you, I'll go with you just please have mercy on me!!
Natalie: NEVER. SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
Enko: Hey Hartea! Look, Mama's totally beating Papa up!
Hartea would laugh, nodding a little as he began to drink his float for a little bit.
Hartea: Hey, Go easy on him Mama!
Natalie would laugh, as she released Hagan from her grip, dusting her hands off by clapping them together as she wrapped her arms around Hartea as well, pulling him closer to her as Hartea held his drink behind him, and Futakuchi would then take it from behind him and hold it for him.
Natalie: Thank you. . .Hartea. Thank you so much. I didn't believe that something like this would happen. . .I don't know how to repay you. . .We'll be having a rejoicing festival in a few hours. . .I would like for you to be there if it's alright with you.
Hartea: Oh, sure -- I'll be there! And don't even mention it, Mama, I was happy to help!

A Wish
This is a story where there are no heroes and no villains. This is a tale about revenge, despair, and hope. This is a story where the truth is constantly hidden deep beneath the surface, and nothing is ever as it initially appears. The world is a stage. Every character has their part to play before their exit. They are actors, dancing on a stage set for them while searching for the truth behind the façade. Only time will tell whether they will be able to escape their predestined fate, to search for their happy end, or whether the promised end is nothing more than, a wish. Author's Note: Update will be very unpredictable as I travel quite a bit for my work.

Saga of Steel and Bone (Ashes & Phoenix)
Can a King rise from the ashes of a broken soul? As a half-breed abomination blamed for the death of his brother, Roland's father disowned him and his pack rejected him. Without a home, only the vilest of overlords accepted him as a slave. His past defined him, his present seemed futile, and his future seemed hopeless. Until he escaped the assassin overlords and came to meet a small family who adopted him as their own. They forced him to look past what he’d come to expect in Humans; forced him to face what he’d become. They showed him a glimpse of happiness for the first time in his life. But tragedy is never far from one running from the past. The Empire steals his first glimpse of peace, putting him on a collision course of past, present, and future that will take him to a small town needing a hero and vast mountains hiding deadly secrets and fire-breathing creatures. It's a race against time to rescue those he loves... before they, too, become more cold bodies laid at the feet of the Emperor. His path will take him on the journey of hero and villain, the lines blurred between right and wrong, his hands stained red with the blood of both the guilty and the innocent. But Roland knows one thing. Those who took his family will pay. He’s coming for them, and Avidon will never be the same. Ashes is clean werewolf fiction with redemptive and psychological elements.

Dive into Avidon and her sister worlds today for heart-pounding adventure, laughter, and baby dragons. Enjoy! Want to know what's happening on Beulah, Second of the Four Worlds? Hop over to The Guardian and explore a world of magic and mayhem where one girl and her pony-sized wolf roam the streets looking for people they can devour. Or the wolf does.

The Worst
A try on a virtual reality oriented story, about a guy who's absolutely mundane and anti-social but through FSK a VRMMO finds himself beingone of the worst people on the net. Maybe it's just stress relief or trying to have fun but this one is one step closer to writing a little better.You might find words that have mistaken letters in them or grammarbut I'm pretty confident in my english although it's not my main language.Lastly I would like to say report that the novel will have Mature contentof the worst sort, so please refrain from reading it unless you are an adult.
