《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Mini Story 4: A Tale of Trauma
Advertisement
Well, it was hard, but I kinda chose where I wanna stay and who I got to be roommates with. I'll admit, it ain't much like home, but I guess I gotta get used to it. I looked at the guy with the big arm's boulder-lookin' home in.. whatever feelin' I got, I can't tell what it is.
"Welcome new home, Rokit!" Exclaimed the big arm guy.
"You stay here until Darkness defeated!"
I just shrugged and then we both went inside to see a couch with a cubit-patterned blanket sitting on it, a full kitchen, a stone coffee table, a bed (which I think might be for the big arm guy), and even a television. I don't think I could've thought that I'd live in a boulder, but here we are.
"Remember, you sleep couch, I get bed, and switch if okay." Apologized the big arm guy.
Yep, I knew I'd get the couch.
"Fair enough, soldier." I told him.
"Also, I not soldier, I Krader! But okay if call me 'soldier'." Corrected the big arm guy.
"Fine by me, I guess." I said.
I then zoomed over to the couch, because if I wanna get all the energy I lost during the incident, I need sleep right here, right now. I put the blanket on top of me, put my head on one of the couch's arms, closed my eyes and then I started to doze off, until..
"Oh, you sleep now? Great idea! Night-night!" Exclaimed Krader.
"..Alright, good night." I told Krader.
After that interruption, I then closed my eyes again, and now I began to doze off.
I woke up on the floor of what seemed to be some part of a fun house with a million mirrors on the red walls. The floor was brown, and golden garlands were hung about the mirror and below some string lights. I get up on my legs and.. wait, what?

I looked to my feet and I saw..
I'm not floatin'. Why am I not floatin'? HOW am I now floating?
Suddenly, some weird music played, and it just made this moment much weirder and kinda creepier than it's supposed to be.
With my new ability to.. walk, I went forward towards a light. However, I heard a door opening, and then I heard a laugh.. it sounded exactly like my laugh, but kinda bitcrushed.
I immediately looked behind myself only to find a corrupted version of myself exiting a mirror which was actually a door, and then the version of myself flew right above me (which caused me to duck so he wouldn't hit me), towards the light.
"Hey, WAIT!" I shouted at my corrupted self.
I ran towards my corrupted self, ignoring the music, ignoring everything in my path except the light and my corrupted self. However, the light grew brighter, so I stopped to shield my eyes with my pincers, and then... everything was pure white, I couldn't see a thing that wasn't white no more, except for that corrupted version of me, who just stood still, and I stood still as well just lookin' at him.
"I §êě ýøų łø-o-ò-õsţ hõpę, håvəņ'ť ýøu?" Said the corrupted version.
"..What? I thought I was lookin' for the light. I wanted to know what it was." I said.
"...śô đīffêŕęñt, ąřə wė?" Asked the corrupted version.
I suddenly got confused and blinked twice. What the heck is he talking about? The corrupted version suddenly turned into a pile of The Darkness, which jumped in front of me and formed a dome around me. A ton of memories with Nurp-Naut were playin' inside the dome, even ones I don't remember happenin'!
Since when did the Glowkies come to Nurp-Naut's room? Why's Nurp-Naut running with Burnard from the Glowkies? WHAT IS GOING ON!?

"Nurp want crater-tots, now!" Shouted Nurp in one memory.
"Juice-juice, me miss you!" Exclaimed a mix of Nurp-Naut and Meltus (It's probably Meltus, but I don't know) in another memory.
"Tell the kid a story!" Said Naut in another memory.
I watched as the memories brought tears to my eyes, and then I covered my ears, but the memories kept running and running, reminding me of Nurp-Naut gettin' corrupted. Why did this have to happen? Why now? WHY HERE!?
I KNOW I'M GETTIN' HYPOCRITICAL, BUT THIS IS JUST TOO MUCH OF NURP-NAUT!
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" I shouted at the dome.
"PLEASE, JUST SHUT YOUR TRAP!"
But nothing happened, and the memories STILL played. I just couldn't take it, I HAD TO SILENCE THE DARKNESS! I shot multiple lasers into the dome, leaving the dome lookin' like Swiss cheese, and ONLY THEN the memories FINALLY stopped, but the dome then cracked like glass, and then...
Its shards rained down upon me, covering my body in The Darkness.
All of a sudden, I woke up as I immediately rose up from the couch in a panic. I looked around my surroundings, only to find.. I'm finally out of the dream. I sighed in relief and went back to my comfortable position, I breathed in, and then I breathed out.
However, Krader suddenly started walkin' towards me, lookin' real concerned. I must've woken him up somehow.
"You okay?" Asked Krader.
"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare." I told him.
"Besides, it'd be hard to explain."
Krader shrugged and then he went to the kitchen, probably to cook somethin' up that could calm me down. I really needed it anyway, because I guess I just might be missin' Nurp-Naut a lot. Yeah, that must be the cause of my weird nightmare, just a tribemate missin' from my life... Yeah.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

Path of Blood.
In my world, there are only idiots who know nothing of the true workings of the world. They only see what is shown to them, only accepting and not questioning anything. They brag about the strength given to them yet do not know how or where that power comes from. Sick of this competition for power that is unfair to all who participate, I’m tired of being given choices that seem fine to others but don’t make any sense to me. Others are blessed with supreme talent, others are born cripple; the world is unfair and that is a fact. But what if you could see? What if the world was open to you and only you? Would your life change forever? Would you become a King amongst men? OF COURSE NOT! For the heavens are fair and they shall maintain the balance of the realm, no matter what the case. Did I ask for the knowledge I was given? NO! Did I ask for the abilities I was given? NO! So then why make me different? Why turn me into a monster who sees all yet cannot participate in the competition for power that you have arranged? WHY HAVE THE HEAVENS FORSAKEN ME? From birth I saw everything, nothing could escape my sight. However, the heavens made me a cripple, they put me in the shadows and I can’t help but yearn for the light. Why am I still of the living then? Well, Why should I give the Heavens the satisfaction of seeing me give up? I will not submit to the heavens nor will I submit to the bastards that wish to use me. All I can do now is continue to rebel against everything. All I can do is continue to battle the Heavens in my heart. I shall carve out a new path for all those like me, a path that will go against the very constitution of this world. How will I do this? I do not know. But I will! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will upload a chapter a day on Royalroad (maybe more) however if you want more of the story at a quicker pace then go to fantasy-books.live. There are currently 110+ chapters of Path of Blood there. P.S - I started Path of Blood about a year ago so the first fifteen chapters have some problems character wise however I'm currently working with an editor to remedy these to make the story a better read. Anyway, these issues don't last long and since Pob is a story that rewards the patient, only those who've read till the latest will understand how good the story really is....I designed it to get better with every ark, surprises planned at every corner and the eventual ending of Pob will definitely not dissapoint, so stick around and give it a chance. :D
