The sun is shining behind the cloud. The sun position look more tilted than it should be because the mountain height.
A lone man is at the middle of the courtyard. eyes closed. sitting with cross legged. He's no longer weak, not like the first time he awake. While he still have no clue who he is or where he is, he get more knowlegde from his vision that temper both his mind, body and experience. A knowledge that make him succesfully hunt a bear that now hung decapitated, at the side of the main building.
He's getting familiar at the new lifestyle he had. Yet at the same time he grow bored. But still an unexplained feeling hold him to stay.
He frequently stood next to the cliff. Gaze bellow the clouds. On a few lucky occasion the cloud will disperse. Shown a breathtaking view of the landscape down bellow. Few tiny unclear view of tower or other landmark that show a civilization is appear within that time. Make him want to start a jurney to the place. But somehow he just cant leave.
After a few moment the lone man open his eyes. Then stood and walk toward the main building. He enter inside, move past few room, carrefully closed the door again after he move through it. Then he arrive at a big room inside the building. His movement make a subtle sound on the wooden floor. He then stood in front of a shelf, then he take few piece of paper and carry it to a desk where he start to write down.
The room where he is now is the only room that have the fewest ventilation. and made from a stone, an unlit fireplace is placed on the west of the room while the other side of the walls is fills with bookfilled shelf make the rooms feels warm. Almost all of the book here is writen by him. Each time he got a vision he always write it down wheter it is a trivial vision, a elixir recipe or forging technique he suddenly remember or knowlege he once had, anything.

Then he take one dagger and move to the hunged bear on the outside. He then start to skin the bear and cut the meat to make it easier to store. He then lift his hand toward the cutted meat. His eyes lit up a moment and the portion of the meat ahead of him is frozen. Another portion he prepared is then he toss to a furnace that can function to smoke meat to. After the meat smoking process is started he left.
he then go to the makeshift tub inside the building. Start heat up the water that he prepare inside and then he slowly get inside the tub. Sigh* "maybe i should really go down and search some settlement. Buy suplies and ask arround, who knows what i will find" the man ponder while he relaxing his shoulder. For a moment he go relaxing enjoy the warm water. after few moment he slowly get up "But i what should i use to trade." He sigh while he put on his clothes.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
