Panic fills my thoughts and flashes of Emily falling into the river replay before my eyes. I can't lose Bilbo too! The landscape and voices around me blur together. My breathing becomes erratic as it try to comprehend and deal with the situation at hand.
"Sam jump she's after you! She's gonna kill you! You need to jump Sam!" I yell at myself and stare down the waterfall. My mother's angry screams echo from the distance but slowly grow closer and closer. "JUMP!" I shout to myself and step off the cliff edge. Then I'm falling.
Wind and color rush past my face till I hit the water the impact bruising my body. I don't scream I can't she'll find me. So I close my eyes and let the current carry me away.
I end up washing up on shore. Exhaustion claims me and no amount of fear could fight it off. I fall asleep only to wake up in someone's arms. It is the Lord Elrond.
I stumble and collapse back against a tree my breathing becoming ragged and choppy.
"Sam Sam!" Bofur exclaims backing up with a mallet in hand to guard me. That's when I notice the spiders closing in again. Thorin starts shaking Allie who's still out of it. Taking advantage of his distraction a spider grabs Thorin from behind.
"Dwalin! Kill it! Kill it!" Thorin shouts and Dwalin bashes its head with his hammer. Grace is instantly on her feet slicing off a stinger of a spider trying to nab Allie. Kili gets grabbed by a spider and dragged away screaming.
"Fili! Alex!" he cries. Alex glares violently, her hands flaring up and fire whips lashing out.
"Hands off bitch! I haven't even gotten to second base with him!" Alex screeches and envelopes the spider with her whips incinerating its body.
"Come we need to run!" Grace yells and pulls me up. "Hold your breath Sam!" I nod and close my mouth it's not long till my world focuses again.
"Come on, keep up!" Dwalin shouts to Ori and pulls him along as we run.
"Clear!" Lacy yells just as a spider lands in front of her. "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" The spider grabs her and starts to try and wrap her up.
More and more spiders descend rapidly and I realize this is a hopeless situation.
Out f nowhere Allie starts glowing, flexes her wings out to their full length, and draws her katana with ease. She looks up and I see her eyes glowing white.

"Evil be gone!" She yells and rises into the air cutting spiders that are descending. She twirls and slashes spider after spider but more still come. Alex and Grace pulls out their bows and start shooting while she fights in the air.
Even more spiders descend but as they do elves appear swinging down their thread and shooting them down. A blonde one slides down a string, shoots the spider spinning it then surfs on its body down the tree shooting spiders as he goes. His fighting style is surprisingly similar to Graces. The blonde elf lands on the ground in an effortless somersault and aims his arrow right at Thorins face.
"Do not think I won't kill you, Dwarf. It would be my pleasure," the blonde elf threatens while his companions kill off the rest of the spiders and surround us.
"I would not touch him if you value your life!" Allie hisses landing in front of Thorin.
"SAM GRACE ALEX HELP!" Lacy screeches and I realize in our haste we did not see her get carried away.

Lacy
~~~
A pair of spiders are circling me slowly. I have no weapons, I lost the horn, and I cannot find my companions I am all but dead.
Just when I've accepted my demise a flurry of red hair and amazing legs dashes in and expertly fights off the spiders. She ducks under one leg and stabs the spiders head before whipping around and throwing a knife into the others head. I gape at my savior, eyes blown wide. She is the epitome of beauty and everything good on this earth. Her long fiery hair falls past her waist and is perfectly braided to frame her face. She's wearing a green dress that brings out her breathtaking eyes with leather armor that accentuates her curves.
"Are you alright?" my savior asks and oh my Valor her voice!
"Uh-uh yes," I stammer.
"Did you blow this?" she inquires, gently holding up the horn. "We found it in the woods just off the path."
"Y-yes I did. I'm uh Lacy Pierce a messenger from the Lord Elrond," I stutter out and I'm instantly enveloped in a warm hug.
"I am Tauriel Longolian," she whispers into my ear and I shiver. It's her! It's my soulmate! It's Tauriel!!!
"It's you! you're my soulmate!" I squeal and return the hug enthusiastically. We pull away and I imagine I look insanely frazzled.

"Yes I am," Tauriel breathes and looks up and down at me.
"I knew you were somewhere close but I'd didn't think it was this close!" I exclaim.
"How did you know I was close?"
"I'm a bond seer. I saw our bond it's blue," I explain. "Such a nice blue."
"How interesting my little soul mate is a bond seer," Tauriel muses and I blush.
"I'm so glad to meet you! Well I would have preferred different circumstances but hey a meetings a meeting," I shrug and babble.
"Tauriel!" some one calls.
"Coming Legolas!" she yells and takes my hand. "Come along." Tauriel leads me back to the company and I see them surrounded by elven guards. "That's Legolas the Prince." Tauriel points to the blonde elf.
"Are you threatening me little hobbit?" a blonde elf, Legoals, laughs. Allie is standing before him wings flared up and katana drawn.
"First of all hell yes. Second of all how did you know I'm a hobbit? Most do not know of our existence. And you do not seem to be surprised of my wings," Allie demands angrily and points her katana at him.
"Well my father's advisor is a hobbit and one came along a few days ago from the river," Legolas replies. "The one from the river controls fire so nothing surprises me much anymore."
"You have Emily! You have my soul sister!" Sam shouts.
"You have my soulmate!" Fili yells.
"Yes yes, now little hobbit it is not wise to threaten me. I'm quite larger than you," Legolas growls and twirls a knife in his hand. "And better trained."
"Little asshole" Allie snarls and lunges forward only to be beaten by Grace who gets there first. She tackles him to the ground and they roll till Legolas lands on top. Grace bites his wrist and Legolas instantly responds by jutting his dagger, same kind as Graces, against her throat. Grace kicks up her legs and wraps them around his neck of flip them over again. Once she's on top she pins his hands to the ground.
"Aren't you gonna do something?" I ask Tauriel.
"No the prince his and soulmate fight like this often," Tauriel answers coolly.
"WHAT!?!" the whole company screams.
"Yes we are soulmates. Now surrender to me!" Grace orders.
"Fine I surrender my red rose," Legoals sighs, smiling like a moron.
"Then I shall take my prize," Grace murmurs and pulls his face up, she's still sitting on him mind you, to meet their lips.
"Well that's twisted and sweet," I mutter and gawk.
"Oh my Yavanna! You have a soulmate and you didn't tell me!" Allie gasps.
"It's wasn't relevant," Grace says breaking away from Legolas and standing up.
"It wasn't relevant?!" Allie splutters in rage. "Having a soulmate isn't relevant!?"
"Allie hush," Grace dismisses and waves away Allie's anger.
"I'm sure my father wishes to see you all so we will escort you to the castle," Legolas announces while straightening his tunic.
"We will not go there!" Thorin snaps.
"Uncle!" Kili and Fili groan.
"We could arrest them," one guard suggests.
"Know your place," Tauriel counters silencing the guard.
"Just come with us. Don't make this difficult," Legolas demands coldly.
"Emily is there we are going uncle," Fili states bluntly crossing his arms.
"SILENCE!" Allie screeches and for some reason we all quiet. "I am so pissed off on so many levels right now. But Fili is right we need Emily and we also need food and rest. So all of you shut up and suck it up!" Allies face is one of pure anger but then she smirks brightly at me. "Also I belive congratulations are in order aren't they?"
"Yes we're soulmates," I squeak.
"Well that's lovely," Allie coos. "Now let's go."
"Lead on," Legolas barks to the guards and we all start after them.
"Wait where's Bilbo?" Sam asks looking around frantically. "Wheres my tiny boyfriend!" I switch to bond vision and looks for his tether to Sam but it's not there, it's shaded by darkness.
"I can't see your bond. It's shaded by darkness," I say. "It hurts to look at." I squint tightly but I can't see it.
"Don't hurt yourself." Tauriel puts a hand on my shoulder. "We'll find your soulmate till then come rest in our castle. Your soul sister is waiting."
"O-okay," Sam stammers.
"You're so wise," I marvel.
"You're cute," Tauriel chuckles and pats my head. I blush bright red and smile sweetly.
"Stop being so cute," Kili orders playfully and Alex elbows him.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
