“Pirates, Plunder, and a Plethora of Problems”
The four adventurers soon found themselves in an elegant drawing room overflowing with tall bookshelves, large map tables, and rows of map stands that held dozens of tubes for rolled maps. Various brass navigation instruments, mostly sextants and telescopes, lay scattered about the room, as if their owner still cared too much for them to put them into storage, yet knew they were of little use in the modern day of astral navigation.

The Keyhole of Hope
On his 18th birthday, Jon was finally allowed to watch the mysterious video his friends had told him about. It’s very important, they said. It tells us exactly why we’re here. All the adults in his life agreed. He hadn’t given that much thought; his purpose in life and all that. He remember thinking about it once, when he was gazing out the window of the dining hall when he was seven years old. He saw a planet pass by, so big it took days for it to move. It filled the window, which he thought was incredible. That was the biggest window on the Hope, and this planet covered the whole thing! A beautiful blue-green marble with white swirls. Eventually the planet moved along out of view until it was just a tiny speck in the distance. Everyone seemed sad afterwards, and he didn’t know why at the time.

Game of Life Part I
03/21/2030 5:00 am Caspian bumped against the keyboard for the third time, stamping even squares of dust on his forehead. He glanced back at the sofa bed—with the cushions still unfolded into a narrow mattress—and produced a lethargic, Garfield yawn. The entire dormitory was asleep, as he should be as well. Caspian never understood why he tortured himself like this: climbing out of bed at a god-awful hour, only to down five coffees throughout the day.

Planet Tetro ~ Page 66
The 5th archetype of summoners are the Multipliers . They have one summoning that they awaken through magical training . (Weapon summoners awaken their abilities the same way too ) . Some scholars think the creatures are based on the person and there are other scholar that think that it could be a random occurrence . I am not fully sure myself , but maybe that will be some that I can find out one day . Like the weapon summoners that can make duplicates , the creature multipliers too can swarm the battlefield and create openings . The base power of one summoning relies on their magic power and gets divided among the different number of summonings cast . Both creature and monster summoning masters can divide the strength of their creatures and weapons at the time of summoning them at will. Lesser casters usually can only split the power of their summonings evenly .

The Swirl: Chapter One
The night was quiet and chill as I stepped off the midnight train that had just brought me home from a very long shift at the Trayton Organization in Trayton Fields. My work was top secret as we studied the mysterious ongoings of the universe, including what was known as 'Black swirls.' The company knew they existed, though we weren't allowed to announce it to the world because Mr. Stevenson, the boss was afraid that it would cause unwanted panic in the streets. I, on the other hand, had never witnessed these swirls as he called them, and neither had my colleagues who worked night and day to unravel the weird mysteries of this universe.
