Amaranthine, Book 2- Chapter 15: A Little Tragic Backstory as a Treat

Don't read this if you haven't got that far and don't want spoilers, but here's a bit of levity in the middle of a trauma dump.


“She’s not my girlfriend, mom,” she complained, although she wasn’t really sure that was true. Things could be one way without actually being said. Elizabeth gave a frustrated frown at that, immediately confusing Kennedy. “What?”

“If she’s not your girlfriend now, why the fuck did she turn me down this afternoon?”

Hey Everyone,

Well its very simple you just simply post one dialogue from the latest chapter of your novel and link the chapter

Let me start with an example

"An angel," the word echoed in his skull. "I’m looking at an angel."
Epics of Tarronia: Fire & shadow , Chapter 3

It could be anything but it should be the one you feel is most profound in your chapter

Idiotka. The place is hidden in plain sight... It looks like an ordinary restroom. But this place is more than just a restroom."

Eonia straightened in a flash, her boots clicking together. “Y-Yes, Lord Commander!” she said, giving a nervous salute. “I will not get caught again— I mean— I will not do it again!”

"Good. Listen very carefully. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to visit Sister Althea in the Copper Bowl and she is going to tell me about the extremely generous donation you made tonight on your way out of my city. For good. And Kazi? Extremely generous. I need to hear those words come out of her mouth. I'd like to hear 'ridiculously' or 'exceedingly' generous, but I'll settle for 'extremely'. Because if I don't, Kazi? If I don't hear the words I need to hear, or if you tell her that we had this conversation..." She turned her head and looked at the squirming, terrified form of his former leader. Wordlessly, she turned back and met his comprehending gaze.

"That did not go as planned. Really though, who hits no when offered a system?" He said to himself, then shrugged. He would find another opportunity to get his new MC to accept his 'System' soon enough.

“I am strong, father,” he nodded fiercely, though his hands shook as though his entire life depended on what he said next. “I want to be, I want the men to respect me, just like they respect you. How can they do that, if I’m the prince who couldn’t Awaken? Won’t they ask questions?”

“It is… Unfortunate…” his father answered slowly, his hesitation just barely an invitation to continue. “Even so, far worse is a prince who channels frost. You must know that.”

“Damn it all,” she cursed, her voice thick. “Damn that king and his whole rotten institute!” She walked over and stood awkwardly beside Leonotis, not touching him, but just being there. “Get up, Leonotis,” she said, her voice gruff, but lacking its usual bite. “Staying here makes us an easy target.”

"Remember my backbreaking load back then? Pops said how master Kaine carried that better while being half as strong and twice as old as me. And just like me, he can't use magic." Cassa half-smiled and approached Marcus. "Now, imagine him as a middle-aged man your size." He patted the priest's shoulder. "Can he really pull that off?"

15 minutes later, Collin trudged out the lake holding his sword and the heart of the Wechuge. Underneath the full moon he sneezed and saw that the black blood had discolored his skin.

"Ashes to ashes," he whispered to himself. "Now...how much gold could I get if I sold this at the BoonMarket?"

The mist now engulfed everything. And amidst the mist, like a shadow from another realm, a woman in a black and white kimono.... walked slowly and gracefully…toward the heart of the city that once laughed at her.

Her hair was as black as the night that never knew morning. Her eyes glowed red beneath the curtain of dew. She was the shadow of a wound that never healed.

Black Mist.

Her hand slowly lifted. The mist began to move… like a ghost, silently infiltrating every corner of the city. The mist thickened until the city turned a greyish white. She closed her eyes, remembering the day:

Her mother was killed by her father… buried and laughed at by the village elders… then she was insulted by the boys… and when she complained to her father… she was thrown into a frozen puddle… until her heart froze.

She opened her eyelids. Her eyes glowed red, lingering over the silent city. Her face was cold, unsmiling. There was only a wail that was never heard.

“You are not criminals… You don't harm females… You are good men…"

"But you were not present when we were silenced. It's not hatred that kills us… but your absence when we are hated."

"[Reverse Mistmare]!

“Sleep… sleep in the peace you never gave us,” she whispered.

This morning was too quiet… like a city that had just taken its last breath. Black Mist had moved. And the nightmare had just begun!

“Yeah, that’s wat the head brawler said,” the delivery guy blurted out. “Said I’m ponential. Took me in on promise I’d learn a bit more. Even got me a spot at the local tavern — side job, close to studies. But I was snoopin’ around and overheard that the old-timers snatch a freshman to drag into some kinda cadet thing. So you gotta aim high to get better, right? And the girl — they say- she’s real good. Only thing is, not everyone wanna to be under a girl, even if she’s better than most. But I ain’t got no airs. I know you womenfolk can be sharper than men sometimes. And kinder too. I just need someone to show me the way, give me a hint how things work. I’ll earn my keep. Deal?”

After a slow, measured breath, the Vice Captain continued. "I don't want to force you to relive that night, but it's haunted me. Murasi of that size... I thought they were myth. Stories meant to stoke fear and keep people cautious. If you'd told me you'd seen one, I wouldn't have believed you. How could someone live to tell that tale? And yet..."

Going to cheat here - no links because one can't really be linked and one doesn't exist yet:

"Such calm arrogance. One would almost think you were Arch Mage Thengarian," the odd little man said.
David began to reply, but was cut off: "Of course, we both know, he's just a character in a role-playing game..."

And:
"How dare you intrude on my personal space! Who the devil do you think you are?"
"Wrong question - who do YOU think I am," the intruder asked, stepping into the light.
"Why that's ... wait... Walter?"
"In the flesh, or at least what's left of it after the ex took her several pounds in the divorce..."

“That makes sense. How about weirder stuff, like C60 fullerenes?”

I nodded, “I don’t know?”

“How about stuff like nanotubes and nanofibers? I mean, if you can produce those in long chains, places like DuPont would hire you for millions. Why haven’t you tried that?”

I looked at her with my jaw dropped, letting the door swing closed. The sheer, blindingly obvious simplicity of it hit me like a freight train. Millions. Not from villainy, not from scraping by on Vilnet gigs, but from… a real job. A career. The concept was so alien it might as well have been spoken in Kaiju. I’d been so focused on what I couldn’t do, on the limitations, that I’d never looked at the one thing I could do that no one else on earth could replicate at scale.

She was smiling at me oddly and tilted her head, waiting for my reply.

“Because.” I said, slowly, the words feeling thick and stupid in my mouth, “I am an idiot.” My entire life’s plan, my grift, my villainous façade, suddenly seemed like the pathetic flailings of a child who’d never once considered just using the door instead of trying to chew through the wall.

different book:


I didn’t begrudge them their fun. According to the scuttlebutt, even a training run in a copper-level rift usually resulted in at least one casualty, often a fatality. Rifts were meat grinders. The ever-present threat of a messy, final death was just part of the background radiation of a trooper’s life. The ship’s kitchens were always prepared for either a celebration or a wake.


In a way, I was glad I’d missed it. The rumors flying around were… educational. More than a few troopers had been discovered in a drunken stupor in random access spaces and storage lockers, sometimes accompanied by equally inebriated and frequently naked colleagues.


Apparently, Lindsay was currently furious with Dirk for being discovered half-clothed in a drone maintenance pod with Lance Corporal Brenton. An unlikely pairing—Dirk was all affable, handsome brawn, and Brenton was a quiet, slightly older woman from engineering—but as the saying went, every drink shaved a year off a woman’s age. She must have seemed like a twelve-year-old to his beer-goggled eyes, I snorted to myself, the image both absurd and vaguely depressing.
