Sitting within our quarters, I sat on my metal bed in a lotus position as I worked on fine-tuning the strings of my compound bow. I was one of the few in my group who opted to have a bow as a long-ranged option. I was by no means as strong or fast as my group's strongest and fastest, but I made up for it with intelligence and cunning. I proved my worth that way to the Teacher, and in her own words, she said, "You'll make a fine Forgemaster in the future!"
Forgemasters were the names of ...

Opening the door, I stepped out into the Cafe and was immediately met with a deafening amount of noise. With laughter, yelling, and talking, hundreds of people moved around the cafe at once. I saw even more clones of Zeref standing behind the counter before me, in the cafeteria, and wandering around the store helping customers.
One of the Zerefs standing behind the counter seemed to sense my presence, turning around to greet me with a small nod.

Soon enough, the team came upon their first scene of battle in a long corridor.
On one side were figures that the team was all too surprised to actually see, what appeared to be mummified humans that had the water sucked right out of them, leaving behind corpses that would never decompose due to the planet's atmosphere and lack of bacteria. All the humans wore str...

Throughout the night, I found myself unable to sleep. It was too quiet, and the bed was too comfortable. I ended up sleeping on the floor.
How do the Ancestors sleep like this? In a world as peaceful as this?
How...how could they throw it all away? Was it god's punishment for Humanity's transgression and sins?
Shaking my head, I focused. I was sitting in the bed of my quarters, slowly removing old bandages ...

[Mana Shield - Level 1 - Active - A spell that has saved many a mage across existence, one of the best shield spells due to its possibility for growth and cost. Summon a shield in the shape of a Parma Shield, providing some coverage against physical and magical harm. Be wary; some spells can and will tear right through the shield easily, especially when faced against an opponent or environment far stronger than the caster. With each level, the durability, duration, and size of the shield incr...

In the cockpit of the Normandy, Shepard and his allies listened to the broadcast Joler managed to pick up from planetside.
Wrex, leaning against a wall, spoke up as soon as the broadcast finished, “Seems some of you humans are in trouble down there, though I haven’t heard of the Covenant before. I wonder how they fight.”
“Is that really all you care about? If they can fight?” Garus questioned.
“No, I also think about guns, violence, and credits,” Wrex answered,...

As I watched the edited footage of the interview Lois and Clark recorded, I couldn't help but crack a smile. My plan proved to be a resounding success! Sure, revealing the fact that I was once human could end poorly, but I felt it would act more as a boon than a curse. If they knew I was once human, then they'd know I can be reasoned with and am not just your average Eldritch Horror from...

Gawking at the scene, Lois was the first to recover as she rushed over to the counter, where the strange alien creature floated calmly behind it. Clark, who saw this, couldn't help but imagine seeing a puppy chasing after a frisbee and let out a small chuckle. He quickly coughed to hide his chuckle before focusing on the creature, suspicious and ready for anything that may happen.
"Excuse me, would you mind if we do an interview with you?" Lois asked, getting the creature's attention.
