《The Fragile World》Side Story-Karan's Woes
Advertisement
Karen's Pov-
Thinking of my brother's sudden disappearance over once more; I can't help but curse the world for it's cruelty. First forced to watch my mother slowly deteriorate in front of me due to cancer, never giving up the hope that somebody could save her. Yet no matter how many doctor's we went to they all just told us the same thing. "Sorry but there is nothing we can do."
After my mother's death, despite all the grief counseling it was never the same. My father became distant, eventually quitting his job and shutting himself into his room. When the unpaid bills started pilling up every month, eventually me and my brother had to find a way to keep ourselves fed. We eventually found a job, unfortunately school and working a full time job was just too much for a high school student. Having noticed this my brother dropped out and decided to take the burden of keeping us afloat on himself. Two years passed like that. After getting accepted into a university, I managed to use financial aid and food stamps to have to somewhat stable life living with my brother.
Another five year's passed and I finally got my master's degree in criminal justice. I also learned that my father took his own life shortly after we left. Through the help of one of the teachers there, I managed to get into a position assisting a detective. I spent two years with this man before I got my badge. I picked up many things from him. I learned how to pick up on the subtle hints people give off unconsciously and a bit about what people call the criminal world.
You would be surprised how many of us in law enforcement, have connections to the criminal world. The system works for the most part. By working with some of the guys on the bottom we can keep the guy's up at top from disturbing anybodies daily life. While that might seem wrong at first, it makes sense. Personally I would rather let a few common thieves go to catch a killer.

Using those rule's I became quite well known in my line of work. Anytime there was a case people had trouble with it was common knowledge for them to ... "Toss the file on Karen's desk". I was fine with that. Until today... Not only does the case in question personally involve me but it also knocks common sense out of the ball park. The sad thing is I know that I am on a wild goose chase, but I can't do a damn thing about it.
The guys up at top are pretty much oblivious to whats going on around them and despite having evidence of the supernatural it just isn't enough. Even when the truth is right in front of them still nobody wants to admit the possibility that we may just be sitting in a playground for something far beyond us. So what do they do? They completely deny whats in front of them even if it slaps them in the face. Then they make excuses. The video is fake they say or go see a doctor you are seriously ill. The worst one is the so called "Gods Will".
So I am forced to do the only thing I can... Play along. So naturally hearing David express the same views I have, I jump at this opportunity. Only to have my hope crushed once again. He even admitted he knows whats going on! So why won't he tell me? Feeling betrayed yet again however sadly I can't even feel anger towards him. Still I can't help but question. Just what kind of force is it. What kind of force instills a fear so great that you can't tell somebody who literally is submerged in it's nature?

Elias would show his clan and the world that even an unattuned individual is worthy of respect, even that given to the strongest. This is his journey. Darius proved his mettle and showed everyone his potential when he attuned to both the aspects of fire, the royal element, and blood. With a fast-track to general all but guaranteed, the only thing he could have hoped for was for his twin, his dearest brother, to join him by his side. Unfortunately, Elias tested as unattuned, the level that was reserved for weaklings that deserved to be cast out and trampled. Or at least, that's what the clan says.

The Adventures of Rat Damon
12/20/2021: we're back to work! Rat Damon reflects on his life of adventuring, both before and after meeting Jack Jensen of earth. He recounts many of his experiences, both happy and sad. He regales you with the tales of power found and love lost. This is a side-adventure based on our The Other Guys series. Rat Damon makes an appearance in Heroes of Last Resort but is much more than a simple rat. What I will post here is going to be a lot rougher than Heroes as I am writing and posting as I go along, so my apologies go out to you in advance! However, I will revise as needed as we go along. As writing isn't my full-time gig, the posting of new material here will likely be a bit irregular and as far as what length this book will be, it remains to be seen. This was originally envisioned to be a 30-40k word novella but one never knows where the story will take me. Do not fret, book 2 in the series is well on its way, in fact much farther along than this novel(la?). We will see where Rat Damon takes, I guess! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I had writing it.
