This is episode 26 of echoes of the abyss and it ends with.

It was thrown with too much force, I was unable to dodge something like that. The tree collided with my body and sent me flying backwards, my back was forced up against a tree and I heard a distinct crack the moment I had hit it. I screamed out in pain and my vision was blurry after taking the hit. Blood spilled from my mouth and onto the floor. "Ryan!" I couldn't hear properly but I assumed it was the voice of Elenor, I could hear beams and explosions as well. Was Rei still fighting it? I needed to get up. I tried to force my legs to respond but they wouldn't move at all as if there weren't... They were gone, after hitting the tree two of the horned gorillas grabbed my feet and ripped them off, they were now playing with it like it was food. No. It was food for them, they began to chew through the flesh, even taking bites out of the bones. Elenor was still occupied with defending herself and Rei, who was now doing his best to fight the massive demon-like gorilla. If i didn't do something. I was going to die.

That's when I saw the woman out of the corner of my eyes.

"Fine. we'll do it your way."

Episode 26 end. -

Context: MC is the returning hero, who defeated the original demon king. She's not exactly here by choice.

“I will pray for your success,” Captain Armand replied. “May your sword, once reclaimed, strike true a second time.”

His words, most likely meant to convey sincerity and inspiration, instead filled me with an unsettling sense of dread. I nodded once, not trusting myself to answer, as I took my leave, heading to join the Order of the Silver.

Details:

When the President said to immerse ourselves in the project, this was NOT what I had in mind!

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…

Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save. Now, the two will get firsthand experience dealing with the destructive demon lord who betrayed and banished the heroine during the story's original cliffhanger.

But what if he isn't the card-carrying villain everyone else seems to think he is?

The last three paragraphs of episode 15 (the latest episode) of Empyreal Calamities.

The twitching turned into a slight stretching pain from the skin expanding. It disappeared after a few seconds and a small black cat slipped out the sleeve of his cloak and meowed at him. Its bright, glowing blue eyes looked up at him in curiosity.

Varrick leaned down to pet him. “Mr. Sugar Cloud, I need you to send a message to Len for me.” He pulled out a tiny piece of paper and put it inside the charm on his cat’s collar. “Make sure you get this to him, okay? And come back soon. I'll miss having you as my tattoo.”

The cat meowed at him again before walking off. Varrick watched his cat take a few steps before disappearing into thin air. He looked up at the sky again before walking away to his next destination.

From Apparent Secrets, Side Story 08: Transcendence (Part One):
(Background: two alien bird people prepare for the arduous "Trials" to prove their mettle on their home world. Zayzann (male) is convinced that Tarenn (female) will fail to fly with her damaged wings, and perish after falling from a jagged peak overlooking the alien valley.)

Tarenn had dashed past Zayzann’s outstretched wings and rushed towards opposite edge of the gorge peak as fast as her legs would carry her. Her ragged breaths were stunted from labored sobs as she sprinted towards the cliff edge with wings unfurled and flapping wildly.

It was painfully obvious that Tarenn was ill equipped to lift off and fly without significant help. Zayzann sprang into action to catch his friend before she made a tragic, foolish mistake, but she was already several lengths ahead of him. He simply wasn’t fast enough to catch her at his current speed. Zayzann clenched his jaw shut and reluctantly opened his dorsal vents to expend his precious energy in attempts to catch Tarenn before she jumped.

“Tarenn! Stop!” Zayzann bellowed to the unhearing woman. “Don’t!”

The glittering golden wing tips flashed once more in front of Zayzann before Tarenn took a final, forceful footfall onto the gorge rock. Her eyes shut reflexively, and she drew a final breath before liftoff.

Endings of the latest episode from all my ongoing novels:

Context:
Astatine tries to help Eskil unlock his magic abilities through a "mind dive" (which did not work). Afterwards, they travel to an abandoned temple of the Fire Goddess which was in the process of being ransacked by soldiers. After the soldiers leave, it was already late so they decide to stay overnight at the temple.

Astatine wrapped his cloak around himself. “You really aren’t cold?” Eskil shook his head. “But you’re from a place with a lot of snow, aren’t you?” Eskil gave him a look. “Sorry, it’s what I saw when I dove into your mind earlier. I assumed that’s where you’re from.”

“Yes…we had a lot of snow…” Eskil had a faraway look in his eyes.

“Just let me know if you need to borrow my cloak. I know you turned it down before at the cottage, but it’s pretty cold right now. You keep saying you’re used to it, but I’d feel bad if you were freezing while I’m not.”

“Ah…but then won’t you be freezing?”

“I’ll deal with it.”

“I’d feel bad about that then. Um…what if we…shared it?”

“Oh?” Astatine was surprised. “I considered that too, but I thought you’d be uncomfortable so I didn’t ask.”

“Ah…” Eskil’s cheeks flushed. “It’s just for tonight…” He looked up shyly. “Since it’s cold…” He got up, walked over to Astatine, and lay down next to him. He kept the dragon’s egg pressed against his chest.

Astatine moved closer to him and wrapped the cloak around both of them. Eskil’s breath hitched and then calmed back down to a slow steady pace. Astatine could feel the warmth circulating between them under the cloak.

“Good night, Eskil.”

“Good night, Astatine.”

Context:
Andreas rescues a stranger (Viro) who washed up ashore near the lighthouse he was maintaining. He nurses Viro back to health and lets him stay in his house, but Viro speaks an unfamiliar language (although not directly mentioned in the story, it is Esperanto) so they are unable to communicate with each other verbally. One day, when they are in town to buy food, they are stopped by a group of mysterious men who are after Viro. It turns out Viro is not exactly human.

“This is your last chance,” the amulet bearer continued. “Step aside or else. We’re not responsible if you get caught up in the crossfire.”

Andreas refused to budge. He stared them down and kept his hands up. Cold sweat formed on his face and limbs.

“Suit yourself, you were warned,” said the amulet bearer. The group of men began to lunge forward, brandishing their weapons. Andreas tried to block them and they tackled him down. The wind was knocked out of him as his back hit the ground.

“Viro! Run!” Andreas shouted as he struggled against the men.

Viro looked at him with a frightened expression. “Andreas…”

“Don’t worry about me! Run!”

Tears welled up in Viro’s silver eyes. He spread his wings and flapped. A gust of wind radiated outward and black feathers circulated in the air. Viro propelled himself into the air and flew away.

Andreas looked upwards in awe. “Viro…”

He had no time to say or think anything else before a sharp pain exploded in his head and his vision went dark.

Context:
Note: This is the sci-fi AU of my completed fantasy novel Grand Epic Elemental
Interplanetary freelancer Leiyu is rescued during a sandworm hunt by a stranger who goes by the name Thallios. Thallios' spaceship crashed earlier, so they have no place to stay. Leiyu invites Thallios to stay in his own spaceship to repay them for saving his life earlier.

“You’re a bounty hunter?” Thallios had a very solemn look on their face.

“Er…not really. It’s more of a part-time thing. Bounty hunting can be dangerous so I don’t pursue it that often. I am more of a generalist freelancer. I pick up whatever assignments are nearby and seem easy to do. Or sometimes I’ll pick a job if it’s on a planet I haven’t been to yet, so I have a reason to visit it.”

“The sandworm job was dangerous.”

“Yeah, but the pay was good. Also, it was my first time dealing with sandworms, so I was kinda curious when I saw the job posting. Those other people were there too, so they clearly decided the risk was worth it. You were there…”

“Not by choice.”

Leiyu frowned. “Yeah, of course. Sorry, I spoke without thinking.”

Thallios continued sipping the soup. “It’s okay.”

“Well, you were doing quite well. That blaster of yours…I’ve never seen anything so powerful. Where’d you get it?”

“Um…it was custom made…” Thallios looked down at the soup.

Leiyu figured that a blaster like that was very expensive and sensed that Thallios did not want to talk about it further. “Ah, okay. It was impressive though.” His kom buzzed in his pocket and he pulled it out. After scrolling for a bit, he looked at Thallios. “Speaking of assignments, would you like to accompany me to one tomorrow?”

Thallios looked up. “Um sure, what are you going to do?”

“This is more of a delivery job.”

‘Oh? That sounds easy. What are you delivering?”

“It sounds easy on the surface, but the challenge is not what we’re delivering, but where.”

“Oh? Where are we going?”

“The Labyrinth.”

Chapter 3:

Yijun runs, ignoring the child on his arms’ whimper as he is jolted. The dragon gave him an hour, but he took a while to come down and explaining the situation to the village. He has no idea how much time they have left and whether it is enough to be safe from the disaster about to fall.

They reach the beginning of the slope to the hills when Yijun suddenly feels an eerie stillness, the same stillness he felt around the dragon. Before he can shout about it, his body is flattened to the ground and a deafening roar breaks.

The crowd began to talk and whispers as their attention shifted to Reni herself who is infront of the Guerrier. He looks down at Reni and raised his eyebrow. Short auburn hair with a green headband that matches with her short vest paired with white shirt and dark brown pants, dark blue eyes with small body stature and fits perfectly according to the Queen's description. "Are you Serenity Amberleaf?" he asked curiously.

"...Yes I am," Reni replied.

He kisses two fingers now and touches them to the screen saying softly, “I’m so dead tired now. I need to get some sleep. Goodnight, Lise.”

I don’t know what else to do but echo his “Goodnight”- watching his pretty face disappear from the glass - and fall asleep -

Letting Loneliness and Sweet Dreams marry in the silence.

“Oh, you’ll love it.”

“Oh?”

It would be rude to say that I doubt that.

Mom always says I should give people the benefit of a doubt but…

It’s not them. It’s never been them. It's me.
