Ancient Cistern Skyward Sword

Sword in Stone

Artie had lived her whole life feeling like a joke. Whether it came to her full name, her parents ‘abandoning’ her and her next door neighbours taking her in, or finding out that her lover was part of a cult and was cheating on her. Said lover then stabbed her. It felt like she just couldn’t catch a break. So when she found herself in a puddle of her own blood, staring up at a fake painted sky, she could only find humour in the situation, and prayed that the next life was kinder. Only she woke up. In the same body, with the same stab wound, only in a world full of magic, swords, and a dead King Arthur? Yup. The round table existed, the knights existed, and so did everyone of legend that she’d heard about as a child. Only it was the beginning of their tales. Nothing had happened yet, except the formation of Camelot, the crowning of the King, and then the sudden death of the King of Legend, King Arthur Pendragon. She would have thought this was another cruel joke if everyone wasn’t wandering around in mourning clothes. If this was a practical joke, it wasn’t a very funny one. Artie was tired. She’d already spent almost a decade working as a police officer, and then a detective, so she felt like she had earned her peace. Especially after all the shit she’d been put through, but someone had different plans. And Artie’s life wasn’t quite done yet. In fact, it seemed like in the eyes of the creatures of this world, this was where she was always meant to be. The time she spent getting her ass handed to her in the other dimension? Just a warm up. And now she was expected to just…go along with what everyone else wanted her to do? Including magical beings who were responsible for taking her from one dimension to another. Artie felt like she was in over her head, even if there were several concerned, attractive knights around her. She wasn’t sure if she was going to run away from all the new responsibilities, or embrace them. She wasn’t a rule breaker by nature, but maybe now was the time to change?

The Last of Ancient Magic

"¿Cuál es el propósito de la vida? Es la pregunta que acecha a toda alma consciente. Algunos pasan su existencia buscando respuestas sin encontrarlas, mientras que otros, vencidos por la desesperación, se rinden antes de tiempo. En mi caso, tuve el privilegio, o quizá la maldición, de enfrentar esta pregunta no una, sino dos veces. Mi primera vida fue un fragmento breve y doloroso, arrebatada por una enfermedad que me dejó poco tiempo para descubrir quién era o por qué estaba aquí. Pero entonces ocurrió lo impensable: desperté en un mundo diferente, lleno de magia, reinos poderosos y secretos ancestrales Renací en una familia noble, hijo de un guerrero legendario y una maga imparable, en un mundo donde la magia no solo es poder, sino identidad. Sin embargo, fui marcado por el destino: incapaz de usar magia como los demás, soy considerado un "amorfo," una aberración en una sociedad donde el maná lo es todo. A pesar de esto, no estoy dispuesto a dejar que esta segunda vida sea una repetición de la primera. Estoy decidido a sobrevivir, a proteger a los que amo y, de alguna manera, reclamar mi lugar en un mundo que me rechaza. Aunque el camino es oscuro, sé que hay algo más allá de lo que mis ojos pueden ver, algo antiguo, olvidado, que me llama. Porque en un mundo donde la magia dicta las reglas, he sido marcado por algo que incluso los hechiceros más grandes no pueden entender. Y esta vez, no me detendré hasta descubrir el propósito de mi existencia, y tal vez, desentrañar los secretos de una magia perdida hace eras." ¿Mi meta? Sobrevivir, proteger a los que amo, y sobre todo, encontrar la respuesta que me fue negada en mi primera vida. Si voy a enfrentar la eternidad, lo haré luchando. Después de todo, ¿qué mejor lugar para descubrir el significado de la existencia que en un mundo de magia?"
