《The Tutors》1-Roxie
Advertisement
I'm running down the hallway again. Only a few more months and I'm out of here. At this point I can't stand this place. High school should not be this stressful. But this is finally senior year and I'm counting the days till it's over
I glanced down at my smart watch 8:06AM. Shit! I'm late for first period class again. I knew I should have took a quicker shower after practice. Mrs.Joseph is definitely going to chew me out for this one. Second time this week the first time being because I was so exhausted from running through drills with the new girls on the squad and needed a coffee to get through the day. 3 more months till competition and 5 months until school is over. As soon as these 2 a day practices are over I can resume my attempt at a relaxing until college.
I walk into Mrs. Joseph's English class attempting not to make eye contact. This lady is always on my case. "Nice of you to join us Roxie" Mrs. Joseph rolls her eyes as I look over at here. I roll my eyes back. "Have a seat and please stay after for a quick chat when class is over." fighting the urge to roll my eyes again I walk to my seat. I take my usual seat in the middle of the class. Nari a nerd from the front locks eyes with me but quickly looks away. I roll my eyes at the back of her head. If she has something to say she should just say it. I'm not in the mood today.
We use to be friends but we had a moment back in freshman that changed things. After it happened neither of us new how to react. So I distanced myself and made new friends whiling cheering. Often she just looks at me rolls her eyes and look away. Her and her boyfriend are among the smartest in the class and a couple of other classes too. They don't mostly keep to themselves. I could probably count on one hand how many parties I've seen them at.

The horrendous hour that is English seems flies by as I'm lost in my thoughts and soon the bell is ringing. As I pack my bag I hear Mrs.Joseph "Nari and Kai can you two stay back as well please". They both say yes.
I release a slow breath to prepare myself for the bullshit that is this conversation. What could she possibly want with the three of us? I turn around slowly and walk to the front of the class standing beside Nari. I look at Kai and he's looking at Nari as if he's studying her reaction and waiting for something to happen.
Kai seems like a good boyfriend. A little quiet but still hot. I could tell he had a toned body under those clothes and he had the type of eyes that made you say yes no matter what he was asking. He was about 6ft tall I'm guessing so you have no choice but to look up into them. I haven't had a boyfriend since junior year. Kyle Jameson the school quarterback was the last guy I allowed to break my heart. I caught him in bed with 2 girls from the volleyball team. When I had caught them he had the nerve to ask me to join. I didn't think twice about kicking him to the curve. Maybe one day I'll have a boyfriend who looks at me the same way Kai does Nari. I'm lost in my thoughts again.
"Nari and Kai are the two of you still looking for extra credit that you asked for this morning" Mrs.Joseph ask breaking me out of thought. Why would anyone need extra credit for a class they're already passing is beyond me. Nari answers for them both "Yes".
"Good I would like you two to alternate tutoring Roxie as she has consistently missed the beginning of my class at least twice a week for the last two months. I'd like to ensure she's keeping up on what she's missing". I bite my tongue to stop from sucking my teeth. "As for you Roxie, make it to all your tutoring sessions and you will still graduate on time end of story".

I don't have the energy to argue so I just nod. I was still beat from this mornings practice and my mind kept drifting off. I follow Kai and Nari as they exit the class. "Someone text me an address. I guess I have no choice but to see you two tonight." not giving them a chance to answer as I push by rolling my eyes. I see Nari smirk. What is up with that girl? She's hot and cold all the time.
I really need to find away out of this because if I'm being real I don't think I can sit through an entire hour alone with Nari. There's a tension between us I can't point out. One minute she's rolling her eyes the next minute she's unbothered, both moods annoying me. Kai on the other hand I can deal with. He's the perfect eye candy. Maybe I can flirt him into getting Nari to cut me some slack. I'll be exhausted if I have to add this to my schedule.

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
