《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 168

After church let out, the crew gathered outside where Mari, Zari and Kuasa were already waiting.
"So, our totems start glowing at the same time Elvis's guitar does. That can't be a coincidence." Mari said and Oliver nodded.
"Agreed. Elvis is the bearer of the Death totem." Oliver said.
"Every totem is growing stronger in response to Mallus's threat. We need that totem." Mari said.
"Hold on, now that we know who has the Death totem, we need to operate a bit more carefully." Rip said.
"What do you mean?" Kuasa asked.
"There are certain people throughout history who's effect was so large that interfering with the wrong events could have huge consequences. Elvis Presley is one of though people, since there is a reason he's called the king." Rip said.
"He's right, Elvis is the one who really put rock on the map, without him, Rock and Roll never gets out of memphis." Nate said.
"Exactly, we must be careful not to do something that could end up tanking Elvis's career, since not only could that create a rather significant aberration, but it could also further weaken the prison Mallus is trapped in." Rip said.
"Let's get back to the ship and work out a plan." Oliver said and they all nodded.
"We gotta hit." Quentin said as exited his office into the precinct.
"What's going on?" Thea asked from where she and Roy were talking.
"One of our officers just received word from a contact. The Blackout Gang will be convening for a weapons buy tonight in Orchid Bay." Quentin said.
"Sounds like our best chance to get our hands on the new weapon." Roy said.
"Take down the supplier while we're at it." Thea added and Quentin nodded.

"Get the unit ready to move out." Quentin said as the cops began moving out.
"Roy, hold up a second." Quentin said.
"Yeah captain?" Roy asked.
"I think that considering what we're dealing with here, you should get your other unit on this as well." Quentin said and Roy nodded.
"Give us the location and we'll give it to them. Thea and I will be wearing our blues though, since we don't want to raise suspicion." Roy said and Quentin nodded.
"Let's do this." Quentin said.
"So, Elvis is the bearer of the long lost death totem. How does that even begin to make sense?" Mari said.
"Maybe the totem was attracted to Elvis because it sensed a connection to the dead with him. Maybe something he hasn't moved past." Oliver said as all eyes turned to Nate.
"What?" Nate asked.
"Not only are you the historian, but you're also the resident Elvis expert. Any ideas?" Zari asked.
"Maybe his brother." Nate said.
"Jesse?" Oliver asked.
"How do you know the name of Elvis's brother?" Laurel asked her husband, who shrugged.
"I watched Full House as a kid." Oliver said and everyone chuckled.
"Fair enough. But anyways, what if when Elvis uses the totem, with his music, he's actually summoning Jesse's spirit from the grave." Nate said.
"Then he'll be reluctant to give it up and we can't just steal the guitar." Oliver said.
"So what do you recommend?" Rip asked.
"We go and see him in person, confirm our theory. If we're right, then I think I can convince Elvis to give up the totem." Oliver said.
"How?" Ray asked.
"I know a thing or two about dealing with ghosts. I've had my own ghosts since I first set foot on Lian Yu." Oliver said.
"He's right. If anyone can relate to Elvis's pain if we're right, it's him." Constantine said.
"Looks like we've got a plan." Laurel said.
"So, we know Oliver's going to see Elvis, but who else?" Ray asked.
"Me, please." Nate said and Rip nodded.
"Might as well make it a double date then." Laurel said and Zari nodded.
"Okay then, let's get to work." Oliver said.

[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
