《The Curse》ACT FIVE SCENE TWO
Advertisement
Professor Fayemi's office the following day. He is alone.
PROF.: Why! Why? Why did I do it? What invisible force made me do this shameful deed? Had time cohered with place would she not be my daughter? Why then did I do this cruel thing to her? Why (Pauses.) And why not marry her and accept the child? After all, I have been looking for a child for so long! Why can't I do that and kick Ibiye out? Yet, something holds me back! Why? I wish I could forget this shameful episode in my life, but that unsleeping watcher; that reminder of past glory and present disgrace, that clock of man's time and recorder of his deeds and misdeeds, the ever-conscious conscience will not let me be. Its soft insistent voice keeps breaking into my thoughts like a wave breaking upon a rock. O I wish I had listened to the voice, of that divine guide and refrained from committing such a monstrous atrocity on this innocent girl! But now it’s too late. The deed is done, and all that remains is the echo of that loveless love affair. (Femi storms in.)
FEMI: You vile, foul, uncouth product of an unlucky womb, you most disgraceful of all men, do you dare stand in this unholy office untroubled by conscience? Behold, the hour of judgment has come and I am here to avenge all the foul things you subjected Liz to.
(He rushes at the Prof. with raised fists.)
PROF: Hey, better be careful with those fists. Hit me and I shall have you expelled from this university!
FEMI: So you will threaten me the same way you blackmailed Liz? Well, I care not if I am expelled. But vengeance is mine!
(He chases the Prof. round the room, buffeting him with punches. The Prof. shouts. Messenger rushes in.)

MESSENGER: Hey, Prof, what is happening? Do you dare play Ali and Foreman here while a life is already lost? Look, Prof., that girlfriend of yours is dead!
BOTH: What?
FEMI: Liz dead? Are you serious?
MESSENGER: Of course! Even now, her body lies at a private hospital with her grief-stricken mother who had come to visit her daughter only to be greeted with the news of her death.
FEMI: But why?
MESSENGER: ABORTION! She tried to abort but failed. She is dead now.
FEMI: You aged animal, see what you've done? A good life lost just because you cannot at this age of yours control your libido. And do you think you can evade the hand of justice? Nooo! A life calls for a life, and die you must, Prof., for the life of the girl you drove to an untimely death.
(He brings out a knife and begins to chase the Prof. round the office.)
PROF: Help! Help! Help!
(The messenger tries to disarm Femi, but the latter gives him a kick and he collapses with a groan. Two security officers rush in and converge on Femi. A struggle ensues, and Femi is finally disarmed and dragged out. Meanwhile the professor had escaped through the window. The only person left is the messenger who is still groaning fitfully on the ground.)

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

Mail Fox Tales
When trying to save an injured animal while drunk you don't really expect many consequences. If you were sober, you'd likely expect to be saddled with a few bills and some work finding the owner.In either case, being saddled with divine duties by an ancient animal spirit is probably not amongst the things you expect. Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.
