Piston Kirk

Elves Are Sleeping Beauties

I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

Transmigration Into Earth: Saving Glyn

Yu Zhant, the crown prince to the present king governing the horizon, a powerful deity, is faced with the responsibility of protecting Glyn Kirk, half human, half deity, on earth, a universe prohibited for deities to visit. Yu has always envisioned visiting Earth, the forbidden planet for deities. He believed that since God Kirk resided on earth for some years, he could too. He believed this was his chance to explore Earth and also protect Glyn Kirk, the chosen one, who was to bring balance between different worlds, since he implicated her anyway. Glyn Kirk, a powerful being – half human, half deity- the only being with the ability to think like humans and as deities, the chosen one. – According to prophecy, the chosen one is said to bring balance between the 7 major pillars of the universe: HUMANS, DEITIES, FAIRIES, VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, MERMAIDS, AND DEMONS- which seems almost impossible, but Glyn believes in her power and abilities to fulfil the prophecy remarkably. Yu falls in love with Glyn, an intimate relationship between a powerful deity and the chosen one is a dreadful path since both can’t survive together, one person has to sacrifice his/her life for the other as a penalty to their relationship. However, despite this consequence, Yu has vowed to himself to support and protect Glyn through every path she takes. Who will be the last man standing? Will Yu fulfil his promise of protecting Glyn at the expense of his life and his kingdom? or will Glyn sacrifice her life for Yu at the expense of the 7 pillars drifting apart?
