"Hopkins, your courage and willingness to fight is admirable, but in the current moment, it borders on idiocy."

"Captain Rhodes," Hopkins began. "I speak to you not with impertinence or lack of respect. No, I speak to you with a heart of passion, an undying love for my kingdom, a people for which I would give my life without a moment's hesitation."

Hopkins turned to face his fellow soldiers. "If we surrender here, who's to say we won't be dooming ourselves further down the road of conflict? Who's to say that this isn't the battle that could turn the tide of war?"

----------------------------

Captain Rhodes and his passionate, but also inexperienced, band of men have been stationed at a vital fort posted at the Southern border, safe from the conflict that rages up North. Or so they thought. When a scout returns from his rounds bearing grave news, the defense of the fort is left to Rhodes and his men. Loyalties are questioned, supplies run low, and reinforcements are still days away, that is, if reinforcements are even coming.All Rights Reserved

Demonstown by TheGhostofEphesus

**Updates Fri** (hopefully) **A Collection of Short Stories** On the northern coast of Vittenstock province lies Drevston, subject to all the cold seasonal winds and tides and the rough elements. A once-flourishing industrial town, Drevston has now deteriorated into a shambling spot of crime, shady business and dark magic, and earned the nickname Demonstown. Out of this emerges a group of peopled called the *contractors*, well-versed in various skills including combat, diplomacy and magic, running high-risk, high-reward errands for the more powerful people of Demonstown. 567 Catherine Square, an unassuming little house squashed between equally unassuming little houses along one side of the square, is home to one of those contractor organizations: the Order of Prometheus. Secretive, constantly short-staffed and fighting to make ends meet, they seem no different from the other contracting offices sprinkled in the streets of Demonstown. They, too, are subject to the storm that's brewing across town, but there are some reasons why we chose to talk about them...

Rewrite: Dragons' Land by matsuda-momoka

It was horrible, everything was in flames, everything was either destroyed or burned. The corpses of his father, his aunt and his uncle as well as those of his two cousins lied on the ground, lifeless. His lips shook as he wanted to ask for help, but from whom, there was no one else besides him in there. He looked up at the huge creatures that was staring down at him like if they were staring at their prey, maybe he was really their prey. He shook as he let the crystal sword fall down. " It's... Over..." He admitted it then. Although they tried desperately to fight those giant creatures that suddenly attacked them while holding on the smallest ray of hope, they couldn't defeat them. " It's over... Everyone is already dead... Everything is destroyed... We lost..." He kneeled down and accepted his fate. " If we just knew about this earlier..." And he was burned to ash by the flames of the huge lizards... ********** A dark and horrible future was await of them. Through the darkest moment of his dream, he heard a voice calling for help. He just knew he had to trust that voice, he had to. A new adventure starts as a new kingdom declares its existence. Is it a friend or a new foe? Will our friends manage to hold a grasp of a bright future and change their fate, or will they die in the most horrible way ever?...

A starving man's promise by Naemmen93

Show me a man yet unrocked, unscathed, unblemished by hunger. Point him out to me and say: "He's the one. He's never felt hunger in his entire life." And I'll point out the same man as the hungriest man of all. In a race against the bell both Othy and Torolf prepare for their respective tasks at hand. Both are relatively new to their lives as mercs, yet they hunger. But hunger comes in many forms. Where one hungers for food, another may hunger for love, affiliation, or a sense of respect. Hunger, in its most rudimentary sense, is a feeling of loss or lack of something one yearns for or needs. Even if what Othy or Torolf hungers for may differ, their struggles to settle it may coincide. Maybe even more than they would ever give it credit for. And while they're both struggling for appeasement Dioge struggles on his own, miles away from anyone other than members of his own flock.

Thunder bay was a peaceful city, the weather was good, the people that lived there were nice and everyone got along with each other. Well... except for me. It wasn't bad, but I would rather have died than stay one more day in this city, at least I used to think like that, but everything changed after that night. "I was not fast enough, the boys reached me, and I was trapped. One of them was holding me down on the ground and the other was standing near recording everything" "I heard a car stopping near and someone screaming at them to stop, I didn't know who it was, but it was powerful enough to provoke fear in them.Next thing I knew Ivarsen Torrance was by my side" "He picked me up in his arms and took me to the car and at some point I fell asleep but the last words I heard Ivarsen say to me, were that he would protect me till the end of times" This is a Dark Romance fanfic and is 18+! Contains scenes that can generate triggers, cursing, sex scenes, violence and alcohol consumption

Medic x Reader ~ My Shining Star 🌟 by Mari_RoseEeeE

[ Location : New Mexico; Teufort City ] Muffled screams could be heard from a mile away. Clacking of feet trailed behind the panic. "Get that bloody bogan!" Sniper shouted, carrying his Hitman's Heatmaker. Following behind him was Spy, shouting, "Oh mom dieu! After this, I am going to be visiting your mother!!!". Running behind spy was a sentry of what looked to be a Heavy. The blu Pyro glanced around quickly and saw a blu Teleporter to the right of him. He ran as fast as he could, entering the Teleporter and to safety. "We'll get em' next time, mates. Don't need to worry, that mongrel prolly' didn't get far anyway." Sniper reassured. They all headed back to the rest of the battle. [SIDE NOTE] Hey guys! So if you read this, here's a side note. I am not totally accurate with these characters and I'm not totally accurate with the map. I do these stories because I enjoy writing them. I tried my best to do research and make the story fit as best as I could. Also I am not the best writer, so I'm sorry if I made a mistake in spelling or punctuation. I tried to organize the text, too. I made sure you can read the dialogue without having to "search" for it in a conundrum of words. That's always annoying. Please don't yell at me if you didn't like the ending, or how an event played out. It's really my story, so I can do what I want with it. That's all I really have to say. I know, I had to say a lot. XD Enjoy your read~ -Marina 🍋

The Humanoid ~Vash x OC AU~ by NoelRoss777

~Vash x OC AU~ Book 2 of 3 *Began: Monday, April 22, 2024* *Finished: Wednesday, August 7, 2024* Sometimes... Sometimes I have nightmares. Nightmares that I wake from in the middle of the night, sweat-soaked hair clinging to my neck as my chest heaves. Nightmares with unknown ghosts and the haunting shrieks ripping through darkness. Nightmares that are so real that I almost believe they are real. They are never real, though. Nightmares of shooting stars made of fallen debris crumbling from a tower. Nightmares of screaming sirens and pounding feet and flashing red lights as military police fill the streets. Nightmares of tears drenching my cheeks as I scream out into the void. And then nightmares of him laughing as hell rain down around us. I wonder if he has nightmares too. **NOTE: I do NOT own any of the media (pictures/photos/videos/music/etc.) or any characters (other than the OC - and other OC characters) in this book.
