i peeked through the openings of the closet door and saw her. she roamed around the room and began to look through picture frames. i heard her stop and pick up one picture in particular.
"ahra! ahra! park ahra!" i heard a voice calling what assumed to be her name, by the front door.
changkyun.
"kyunnie, baby!" she quickly put down the picture frame and turned around to face the bedroom door. "in here."
"ahra, what the hell are you doing here? how'd you get into my house?" he says as his voice became more clearer once he stepped into his bedroom.
"the door was unlocked. i assumed you were in here, but i guess... you weren't." a heavy sigh escaped her lips and slowly stared at the ground. "i.... i was hoping you missed me." she says, giving him a faint smile.
"we haven't talked to each other since we broke up, ahra. we broke up for a reason." his voice appeared to show heartbreak and anger. he didn't seem to have said every detail of their breakup, as he is aware that i'm in the same room as them.
secrets and personal businesses should be kept between two parties... with consent, of course.
"that's why i wanted to get back together with you." her feet starts to shuffle towards him. "i missed you."
she put her arms around his neck, to which changkyun takes both of her wrists and slowly separated them off him. "ahra..."
"i know what this is about..." she says, changing her tone from despair to frustration. "what?" he replies.
"him... that boy in that photo. is he yours?"
no response, for what seemed to be a minute. he quickly answers a simple, "yes... and no."

"so... you mean to tell me that you have a child?!" her voice grew louder. "you slept with another woman? where is she?!" she started going insane, her heels leaving the bedroom abruptly, with the sounds of them clacking all over the apartment.
changkyun quickly leaves the room and followed her. "ahra! you have no business with my personal life! we broke up as soon you slept with someone else, years ago."
my eyes widen is shock. the words and conversations being said with me around was not a very good idea. but, i still kept my ground and sat in the closet, my ear listening like the eavesdropper i am.
"that was four years ago, changkyun. time has passed!"
"and time has passed, which gave me so much time to move on and get over you." he says, in a normal and calm tone. i could hear her screaming and yelling at him, and throwing a fit. she cries and yells out, "how can you do this to me?!"
"ahra... you broke my heart... and it was not just that one time you cheated on me."
"what the hell are you talking about?!"
"throughout our whole relationship, you have neglected me and taken me for granted. you became a monster."
i leaned in closer to hear more of the conversation to which i lost my balance and the closet door swung open and i fell outside and landed on my face. i quickly got up and patting myself down to which and changkyun saw me from outside the bedroom. he rapidly came to my defense, putting his arm out in front of me.
she walks in and notices me first, then stares back at changkyun. ""

Scavenger
Only the ruins of vast mega-cities remain of the old world after everything went down the drain… Well several times at that, but who cares? It’s what is left behind that is important - secrets, wealth, knowledge, technologies, food and the occasional pack of mutants. There is also Axion, the last of the floating cities, but only the privileged leave there. Only those who have obtained the expensive permits can dive into the locked sectors. Those who cannot afford such a luxury, become Scavengers. Dubbed criminals, they are mostly ignored by Axion’s law enforcers. But not Grey. No, Grey is a wanted man, for being the only one who has entered Sector 7 and come out to tell about it. In other words, nothing that out of the usual day to day life of a Scavenger. So, who are these Axion teen wannabe Tech-hunters? Why do they want to get in Sector 7? But most important of all, what do they hope to find there? Cover image done as commission by revismissing.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.
