Interlude: Henri Part 3"Who... Who are you?""I go by many names, but right now I'm going by Alice. I have a game to play and that's the name I've chosen.""Game? Chosen? What are you talking about?"The girl shrugged. "The truth is, you don't need to know, Henri. The only thing you need to know is that I need you.""You need me?" Henri asked, trying to take deep breaths."Yes. I need you for my game. You're going to be an important pawn in my game, Henri."Strixes were monsters that haunted the streets. Why was one here? What did she want with him?"You have a friend name Alaric, don't you?""What about Alaric?""He's the reason I'm here, boy. It's not his fault, but all the same, I need you to spy on him. I've arranged for you to go to that party of yours for a reason.""Bianca's party? My parents-""Have already agreed. I'm dominating your father and I'll make him forget, but I've planted the idea in his mind. As well as your mother, but enough about them. Forgive me, I'll have to

On my Webnovel Account, the Wandering Wolves is a story I'm currently posting I'll post the first four here (and chapter five, maybe six here tomorrow), hopefully to drump up some interest. But the rest of the chapters (after five or six) will only be going up on Webnovel! If you're interested, please head over and read them! It'd mean the world to me!Chapter I: RebirthFor a long time, my vision was white after the light blinded me. My ears were ringing after they popped. The ringing was so loud I couldn't hear anything over it. Oh God, I felt nauseous. I wanted to puke.What the hell happened to me? Was I dead? Was this hell? Or did those paramedics save my life? According to the voice, I think I was dead, but that was probably some near-death hallucination. It felt like it was some scene out of an anime.Anime. When was the last time I watched an anime or read a manga? I was kicked out of the house in 2030. It had been fifteen years since I watched one. Back in those days, anime a

Interlude: AliceWhen they pulled into the city, the progenitor watched the building flash by in remembrance. When was the last time she had set foot in this city of sin? Back when she was duking it out with Damien before he decided he wanted to be someone else.She was going to drag Damien out of his masquerade, kicking and screaming if she had to. She couldn't do it without him. Her needs came first, rather he liked it or not. And according to one of her titans, they found him. Of course, they didn't appear to be the only ones who did, but she was confident her court would get to him first.That was in the future, though. For now, she had something she needed in this city. The last time she was in this city, one of her toys had been killed. He failed to kill his family, but he did what she needed him to do.It was a shame that Evelyn Lescheres survived, but she could use the hunter. If only to alleviate some of her boredom."Miss?"Alice turned to the driver. "Yes?""Where do you wa

Evelyn XVIWhat did those visions mean? What message had Alice hidden in them? She wanted to channel me. A battle of the minds? To see if I could uncover the clues she laid out for me before she completed her little game. Did she have no faith that I'd be able to?Or did Alice just not care? Was this just a game to her? A way for some age-old progenitor to relieve her boredom? Either way, innocent likes were at stake. Whatever she was doing, innocent people weren't going to be spared. That wasn't how she operated. Game or not, she'd play hard."I'm leaving this message for you hunter, a challenge if you will. You see, I think people only have true value when acting on their own individual impulses and desires." No fucking shit. "I've asked a lot of people about their suppressed free will and I've come to facilitate them. In return, the ones I've freed are willing to help me. This message comes to you from a young titan girl who was born laboring in the chains of certain criminals. By

Evelyn XVIIIWally's Jewelry turned out to be a jewelry shop. Smackdown in the middle of Toyhara Shopping Center, one of the largest malls in Pluto. It wasn't a chain store, but privately owned. Despite that, it was one of the most successful jewelry stores in the city.Toyhara was open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but Wally's Jewelry closed at seven. By the time we arrived, the store had long since closed. Bars covered the windows, with a Linker scan required to enter."As you can see, the store is closed. The last employees left last night at nine, after transferring credits and cleaning up the store," the security guard said. He knocked on the glass, his reflection grime. "I'm sorry, but no one has come in or out since that final employee. All stores are monitored at all times. If anyone tried to get inside, we would have been alerted.""Thank you, officer."The security guard grunted. "What I'm saying, ma'am, is you don't need to be here. None of you do."His eyes f
