《End of the World》Chapter 12

Ok, I was confused. The way she spoke made it sound different, so I asked "Can you repeat that please?"
"My name is Beth Silva. I am from a race that can take anything into our womb, I took a witch into me to save her. Her name is Cleo Archer and she needs you help. Happy." She said.
"Yeah" I said. "What do I need to do?"
"You need to leave your ship for a few weeks and come with me. If you can't do that, then you need to stay onboard for a few months." She said. I thought about that and decided that the few weeks would be better. I contact the bridge and tell them that I need to go somewhere for a few weeks and to focus on the repairs.
After I closed the com, I told Beth "Lets go then." She went to the cockpit and detached from the ship. She punched in some coordinates and started the jumpdrive. When I went up there to check on her, she stood up and patted the seat saying "Sit here. It will be easier for the both of us if we were in one area." I was hesitant but sat down anyway. Right as I was settled, she sat down on top of me and hit the button.
Have you ever been in the middle of a jump? It is not how the movies portray it, all you feel is a pull and then a sudden stop. Of course, we didn't have the seat belt on so I grabbed her, turned her around so that her face is in front of mine, and then we crashed. If you are wondering why we crashed, the ship jumped into a planets gravity and we didn't know that.

When we woke up, I again found myself under her (luckily, the lower region is still asleep) and could feel her back. I don't know how we ended up with her back to me, but we did. We got up and looked around. The area around us was either burning, or covered in metal. Her belongings were ripped up and the emergency kit was destroyed. "Looks like someone wanted to kill us, or there was a glitch." I said.
"It wasn't a glitch, I checked it when we were docked to your ship. Someone must've been trying to kill us and my tech is useless 'She tried to use a spell' and my magic is useless. What about you?" She said. I first tried my tech and found that everything that I need to survive works and I don't know about the magic. As far as I know, I don't have magic.
"Got my blades, speed, and strength. I don't know if I have magic and that is about it." I say. She looked at me incredulously.
"How the hell do you not know magic?!" She asks. I only shrug my shoulders. "Well, lets worry about that later. For now, lets find some shelter so that I can move without Cleo in me anymore. Though I will miss this feeling, her snuggleing up agains me walls..." She zoned out, impressive.
"Hello, we need to move if we want to find shelter and fast." I shout in her ear.
"Thank you, I needed that. I think that there was a cave ten miles east of us, and before you ask, I saw it as we were launched into the air from the ship. That was how I ended up with my back to you." She said. I so want to mess with her now. "Save your strength. who knows when we will need it."

"Well then, this will be a long walk." I say.
"Speak for yourself, I don't have any shoes...." She said as I put my shoes on her feet.
"I can walk without them just fine." I say. "Lets get going." We started walking and after one mile each time, Beth had to stop and take a break saying 'I need to get use to this again.' When we finally find the cave, it is getting close to dark so I go out to get some wood. When I come back, Beth is laying down on the ground, panting. I pill the wood together, that we need, and get a fire going. She gets up and tries to crawl to the fire when I picked her up.
I walked her over to the fire and put her in my lap, after sitting on my clothes. "Why are you doing this?" she asked
"You are naked and the ground is cold. Don't tell me that you didn't want to do this?" What the hell am I saying! Do all of my feelings get amped up and lust the most?
"Oh I do, but I don't want to have sex until I can get Cleo out of me." She said. Thank god...
"Are you sure, I could get both of you at one or seperately." I say. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!
"Yes. Even though you could, I would rather do it when I am not saving a person." She said. Don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say anything....
"Too bad. I will do you then and crawl in and get Cleo too." SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
"Don't you....." She shouts out before I muffle her. I turn her around and lay her down on my clothes.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
