《More Than What He Seems - A Fortnite Story No.1》Chapter 1 - Before The Flood

*in my opinion, Ch2 season 2 was the best season so far, don't at me*
Shadow or Ghost?
Honestly, I don't even know who or what these 2 teams want with this once quiet island.
Starting out as E.G.O and A.L.T.E.R, they seemed to appear out of nowhere. All I really know about Shadow is their feared leader, The Chaos Agent, a mysterious and stern boss figure. I can tell, staring at the covers of posters and magazines, that they're the bad agents to stay weary of.
However, it lures my attention to the newly created Ghost Agency at the heart of the island. My good friend, Skye, an agent of Ghost, told me good things about the place. Her boss in particular intrigues me.
"What's this boss of yours like Skye?" I asked her one afternoon.
"Well, I can say he's a great boss who takes his position as leader very seriously. No one, not even me, has been able to get on his warm, softer side." She told me. "The only thing he's told his agents about it how cautious they should be. Both with their job and with him."
Interested, I peaked my hearing up as Skye warns me of her boss' bad side.
"Get on M's bad side...well, it may not end well for that person. Probably something to do with his 'curse'."
'Curse'? Now that got me asking a lot of questions.
"Anything he touches turns to gold. Although, with time, he's been able to control it... except when his temper gets a little out of hand." Skye explains, finishing off a piece of paperwork for her boss.
"Does anyone know how he got this curse of his?" I question curiously.
"Not really, no." She answers.

That's a shame. This boss, or 'M' as Skye puts it sounds like an interesting guy. Maybe he doesn't share his past with others for a reason. Perhaps he just needs someone to talk to?
"This 'M'. Do you think I'll ever meet him one day?" I smile, hopeful. Skye lets out a chuckle and a smile, patting my shoulder.
"Maybe one day...but not now."
*****************************************
It's been a few months since I've heard anything from Skye, or her other agents she's introduced me to. Meowscles, TnTina and Brutus being the main ones, but last I heard, he diverted to Shadow. I'm not sure why.
All these secret spy adventures Skye goes on, it makes me feel inspired. I'd love to work alongside her boss, going on daring missions and infiltrating the Chaos Agent's plans for island dominance.
M sounds like such a brave, fearless and careful leader, who wouldn't want to be in his Agency right now?! Well, definitely not Chaos Agent that's for sure.
Ha ha.
But...I know I could never become an agent like him or Skye. Aside from being kind and generous, I don't have the skills of an agent.
Why would the richest man on the island want a coward like me?

Location: The Agency
The Aftermath of The Device.
"Quit your crying child. You're under Shadow's rule now." A shadow henchmen dragging me away from Salty Springs mutters.
"What's your deal?! Let go of me!!" I squirm, trying to fight back with my fists.
This month has turned to absolute madness! The war of Ghost and Shadow has ended up with the Agency being blown to a crisp and a huge wall of water surrounding our once peaceful island, threatening to collapse.
Barely managing to break free of the henchman's grip, my mind races as I make a break for it:
The Agency is in ruin.
Team Ghost's agents in shambles.
What happened to Skye?
...and what of her leader? Her boss. Where is he now?

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

On the Edge of Eureka
Currently on hiatus because college is hard. I promise it's not abandoned! Eleutheria, the crown gem of the Solar System, has stood tall for nearly two dozen centuries. Forged in a plague-stricken, war-torn wasteland and tested by fire for hundreds of bloody years, Eleutheria has learned how to survive calamities that would have decimated lesser nations. Its power waxes and wanes, but the empire itself is as steadfast as the Moon; it's an inscrutable, indestructible force of nature no human being could ever hope to stop. But under its glimmering exterior lies a tangled web of secrets and lies, a deadly and decadent court, and corruption that runs from the kings to the kingpins. As its leader loses her grip and opposing forces grow ever stronger, the threat of civil war looms closer and closer to home. The whole country is a chemical reaction waiting to happen, and all it needs is a catalyst. Acidalia Cipher is that catalyst.

"The best lime comes from a world destroyed. An apocolyptic world. That is the only place you can find sweet limes. Or, at least, limes as sweet as the one I love so very much." Evan said, upon being asked where to find sweet limes.
