《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》The Return of Warriors - Chapter 2: Hearts of Dragon
Advertisement
Across the Black Sea, the Sanctuary of Glamgmar, Flezard.
Satriant Lutes respectfully brought something to Lapunta, who was fiddling with the Dariarus Steel handrails of the iron throne. There was not even a single light in the Glamgmar Palace at this time. If it were not for the light from the sun creeping into the hollow carvings on the walls and windows, Glamgmar would look like a dungeon. Lapunta with the crown he had coveted from his days as a child, and in his hand the skull of King Robert with a piece of dry skin on his head and a few strands of black hair, perched on the throne. With silver-white eyes and half-black-and-white hair, in her deep and hoarse voice, Lapunta smiled and asked:
“Is that it?”
"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Lutes respectfully. He slowly approached Lapunta, who was fidgeting on the throne, offering him a plate containing something. “This is the dragon heart that Your Majesty needs.”
Lapunta looked extremely satisfied. He reached out and grabbed the dragon's heart almost the size of an adult's head, still beating and bleeding on the copper plate, and ate it immediately. Soon that heart was just blood stains on the corners of his mouth. Lapunta licked off the blood with his tongue, then Lutes wiped his mouth with a towel. Satriant Lutes is Lapunta's most loyal servant. He worships Lapunta as a god, and is not afraid to do any crime to serve him.
"I'm still not feeling well…" Lapunta growled, shaking his head. “One heart is not enough…”
"That's the last adult dragon here, Your Majesty," Lutes replied calmly. “Only baby dragons remain.”
“Then bring them all up!” shouted Lapunta, his voice hitting the walls and echoing. “Lutes, I'm dying… I can feel it.”

“No, my lord,” Lutes knelt down, taking his hand. “You are the god, the saint who saves this miserable world. You will never die, you will live forever.”
Lapunta felt more reassured hearing that. He smiled, touched one of Lutes' cheek, and said:
“You really are the one true loyalist to me.”
“I will serve you with my life,” Lutes looked at him with determined eyes.
"Very well," Lapunta smiled. “Now, bring me the baby dragons.”
“Do you need…”
“No,” he interrupted. Lapunta held King Robert's skull in his hand and looked at it thoughtfully, hand-picked the skin still stuck on the skull, pulled out a few hairs that were still stuck on it, and then put it in his mouth to enjoy. “Bring the baby dragons here, I will eat them alive.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of Settled Space, Tessa Corcoran is discovering that her life in the idyllic village of River's Bend may not be as simple as it seems after her father begins to suffer from a mystery ailment that confounds medical science. As their journey takes them from Earth to Mars to the most obscure corners of Settled Space and eventually beyond, Alex and Tessa will be forced to confront startling new realities that will change not only their fate but all of humanity's. Children of Copernicus is an ongoing character-focused and dialog-driven story with strong elements of mystery and romance. I publish new episodes/chapters weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Children of Copernicus continuously introduces new characters, places, and plotlines that are all interconnected. It is most analogous to a soap opera... of the future... IN SPACE.

Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
