《HEfTY》Chapter 24: Pure Glory
Advertisement
“It’s time to get serious,” the president rammed. He was giving a public interview from the White House. He was having one of his rants, twisting quixotically off the planet. It was his planet now, after all.
“They were the one’s ‘ho acted first. I’m just fighting back.”
“Mr. President, you’ve used that rhetoric before, but your response to this act of aggression seems ill-advised. You do understa—”
“Act of Terror. It’s not a joke. Here I’ll say it right into the camera,” he leaned forward, sagging skin ruffling the microphone. “America… This is no joke. If they threaten me, they’re threatening you. We’re all the same thing here. Like it or not. I’ve got a big plan. The best plan. Democrats don’t like it—I don’t care. They don’t like me, I don’t like them. They’re traitors. Best plan, folks. Believe me. We’ll handle it. Got a huge, big, great, beautiful plan. It’s the only way to do it folks. They attacked New York City. Now my building is still okay, thank god right, but they attacked other buildings. Whole thing could’ve been avoided. That’s the real joke. I want my people to know that I’m taking care of it, and so I need more soldiers. Young people—but not losers—who want to join my cause and fight back, join the army, ok? Navy, too, and the other branches. Cause I tell ya, we’re the only ones doing anything here. I get no support none. I know my lovely fans will help me. Ok?”
Juliana Hayda brazenly coughed into the mic. She had to claim back the interview.
“I’d again like to point out Mr. President, to viewers and to the press corps, that the basis for your new policies are greatly misunderstood. They have little effect on law enforcement and military’s ability to protect the nation. Your own constituents are—”

“I don’t wanna hear it. You didn’t see what I saw, but I saw true patriots, like General Tarvish, and MYSELF, who completely had my back against, and you can quote me, Islamic. Terrorists. Thank you, I’ve got things to do.”
And the President stood up, walked through the new White House doors, and back to work. The White House was prepping new Executive Protective Measures.
Protective Measure 1: Check Points at all State Lines, militarizing the border, and stationing a soldier every 500 yards. Permanently.
Protective Measure 2: Effective immediately, all military vehicle and aircraft on or over American soil will have a fully capable payload. No Exceptions. None.
The War on Terror was on its way back home, but the President had a vision to restore our country, to
Pure.
American.
Glory.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
