A Golden Path: Foundation 2.8 (ch. 17)

‘This,’ Robert thought as the echoing sounds of warcries and the thunderous steps of nearly a thousand men raced to clash against one another echoed out on the grandest stage in the Seven Kingdoms. ‘This is what I'm made for.’ 

There wasn't a doubt about it in his mind as his h...

The Good Life: Creeping Sedition (ch. 85)

“You're alive?! You're alive!” Jayce erupted with joy the moment he saw me, crossing the distance between us and delivering a back breaking hug. That brought the others attention to us in the Council’s chamber. I patted Jayce on the back, my gaze bouncing between the others -- Heimerdinger ...

The Good Life: Foundations For The Future (ch. 85)

The Institute was in pretty rough shape. The synths were all slaughtered, but that was no real loss. While they had trashed the synth printer in the laboratory, I had my portable one back on Runeterra to work off of. But a solid third of its scientist population had been slaughtered in the synths...

The Good Life: Aftermath Pt. 3 (ch. 84)

Giant robot. A giant robot. It was a giant robot. The thought banged around my skull like a bell, and I found myself just… happy. Since I took that deal and became Law, I had experienced all sorts of things. I had done all sorts of things. I had felt the greatest of joys by fulfilling childhood...

The Good Life: Aftermath Pt. 2 (ch. 83)

For a year, Taylor had found her rule over the Commonwealth of Fallout going unchecked and without issue. 

She worked closely with the Institute, which utilized the Nuka-Gen-Replicator to create various role-specific insects to aid in building and maintaining infrastructure. Spiders th...

Legends Never Die: Knowing Thy Enemy (ch. 117)

During the past two weeks, I had my scouts searching for a battlefield that met my specifications -- flat open fields, ocean access, with a forest on the other flank. That, and it had to be within a day's march of Alabu. I desired the terrain to be to my advantage, but not so much that Horrik wou...

Legends Never Die: A Moment of Reflection (ch. 116)

“Not to talk you out of this brother, but what exactly is the goal here?” Halfdan questioned as my army bypassed Ribe, save for the two thousand Norwegians that were sent in to enforce a peace upon the burning city. There was a hum of anticipation in the air as word quickly spread about our a...

Legends Never Die: The Hunt Begins (ch. 115)

“So? How does it feel?” Thorkell asked me as I gazed out at Hedeby, the first city in Denmark that had acknowledged me as their king. The people that had hid behind the palisade had returned to their homes, even if they did have to put up with some extra guests. But even with five men in each...

Legends Never Die: To Be King (ch. 114)

It was impossible to describe the morale boost that came with our victory. My people knew what I was capable of. The stories had already made the rounds, and I’m sure if I stopped by any fire, I could hear an already impossibly exaggerated version of myself that I wouldn’t recognize. My men h...

A Golden Path: Foundation 2.9 (ch. 18)

The only thing more dangerous than a competent enemy was an incompetent ally. Brandon knew it in his gut even before the Melee began that Paul would be singled out. His father's vassals, for all they disparage the South, had their own petty pride and Paul's inclusion to the Melee had been a sore ...

Best of Intentions: All They Fear Is You (ch. 20)

You know, honestly, I had just kinda figured that the major characters of the Resident Evil series would have plot armor. I mean… I didn't know much about the games. I absorbed most of the information I did know about them from memes, which I hadn't thought was a particularly good source but in...

A Golden Path: Foundation 2.8 (ch. 17)

‘This,’ Robert thought as the echoing sounds of warcries and the thunderous steps of a near a thousand me raced to clash against one another echoed out on the grandest stage in the Seven Kingdoms. ‘This is what I'm made for.’

The Good Life: Aftermath (ch. 82)

A cataclysm. Mel Medarda could find no better word to describe what Piltover had just endured. It came without warning or cause -- one moment she was in the middle of negotiations with a representative of the Merchants Guild, and the next the ground was quaking with such intensity that the buildi...

Legends Never Die: Path of Vengeance (ch. 113)

Naturally, there was a change in King Hoffer and King Widukind towards me. An uncertainty that hadn't been there before. I expected it. Both men owed me much, but power was something difficult to relinquish even when there was good reason to. I could reassure them until I was blue in the face tha...

A Golden Path: Foundation 2.7 (ch. 16)

Tywin Lannister was a man who wielded power as a cudgel rather than one who wielded it with a deft hand, Rickard knew. In truth, it wasn't that surprising that the friendship between him and the king soured as time went by. It was almost predictable in a way, as Tywin's upbringing left deep scars...

The Good Life: Bloody Noses (ch. 81)

Tunnel vision. Almost as soon as Yamato and Rumi took the serum, they developed a painful case of tunnel vision. Their expressions were twisted into snarls, eyes glowing with a hostility that was sourced from a vial -- their sharp increase in raw physical prowess came at a cost, Yoruichi swiftly ...
