An hour has passed in South Britain. The general was writing in the pages of a book as the silence of the room engulfed her.She could only hear the sounds of the tip of her fountain pen rubbing against the manila paper, the insects outside the room, and the ticking of her grandfather's clock.As she wrote continuously, she started to feel the ticking of the clock become louder as she kept on writing.She then started to recall vast memories, but then as it got more severe, she suddenly raised her head to the sound of someone opening the door.Caught in the moment, Matilda slipped, "Sonia?"Matilda took a second to get back up. She blinked her eye to see a soldier saluting her."Ma'am," he said before dropping his salute, "General d' Armee Camille Chevrolet of French Arctica wishes to discuss something with you immediately.""Oh," Matilda took a while to realise, "Where's he now?""In the lobby, waiting. General Camille said it's very urgent and mustn't be announced in public." answere

“Right, that’s the last of them!” Shouted Iowa as she carried her last case into the carriage. Isuzu climbed in, taking all the clothes and essential items she was given. Iowa hoisted herself up and sat beside Isuzu as Celeste approached the two, “All set?” She asked. The two nodded as they hugged some of the luggage. Celeste nodded and approached the driver’s seat. She sat down and drove away.The gates opened before them as the guards saluted Iowa as soon as they noticed she was inside the carriage. Iowa saluted back they passed through the black iron gates with the South British coat of arms engraved in the middle of them.They exited the building and turned right. For the first time, Isuzu has seen what capital looks like. She looked to her right to see huddles of houses made with brick complete with balconies and windows for every room and to her right were tall black fences that separated the main government building from the surrounding places and shops. Beyond those fences
Hi, thank you for reaching this far into the story. Let me know what you think about it. Is it bad or good? I'm not so sure myself so I'm asking you to write a review (no pressure, I'd just like some feedback.)This is Volume 2, A Dark, Desolate World, where the story continues on where the first volume stopped.Our main character Isuzu goes to South Britain, the British colony in Terra Australis to speak with the person who made her go there in the first place, the General.Aside from Isuzu's point of view, Volume 2 will also focus on Terra Australis' other characters like Celeste, Iowa, the antagonists and is basically the start of the actual story itself.Here, Isuzu will find herself in a new chapter in her life, one that completely caught her off guard so I hope you keep on reading.-Feelsweebman
I was running in a world so dark; so coldA world which felt like a prisonA world voided of meaning and comfortA world that ran parallel to Terra AustralisI was running in a world so eerie; so mysteriousA world whose floor is nothing but stone filled with water that got deeper with every stepA world that will snatch you of calm and reasonA world that reflected true silenceI was running in a world so dark; so desolateA world that kept secretsA world that covered its true purpose beneath its aquatic sheetsA world that hid overwhelming powerI was running in a world of pure darknessA hidden wonder of Terra AustralisA world where I have become its godSolemn Reveries of Terra Australis; A Dark, Desolate World-Gen.

On the border of South Britain between French Arctica, inside a telegraph office, a team of decoders deciphered a message that was sent yesterday from General d’ Armee Chevrolet.They wrote the message on paper and sent it to a military postal office inside a brown envelope and a stamp that signalled its importance and urgency. Immediately they dispatched the letter, sending it to the capital, New London.A few hours later, General Matilda received a knock on the door as she was writing something. “Come in.” She said as she raised her head to see who it was. A soldier opened the door and saluted, “Ma’am, we’ve just received a telegram from General Chevrolet. Here it is on paper.” He said as he approached the General and placed a brown envelope on the table. He slightly bowed his head and saluted as he left the room and closed the door.She placed her notes aside and opened the envelope which wrote,“We found the two angels.I am planned to attack Divinity activity near the northern b
A thick fog covered the desolate woodlands outside the capital of South Britain, New London. As fireflies huddled around the tall grass and leaves, beneath the surface of the forest hid a small cottage made of ordinary wood and metal sheets.As the roosters sang their morning hymn, one of the people inside got up their bed and went outside the house. She yawned as she approached an open campfire where the flames of yesterday disintegrated the little twigs it had left. She spaced out for a few seconds before kneeling in front of the campfire. The ground beneath it covered in ashes which reflected the silver-coloured hair of the lady as she gently placed her hand on one of the twigs, burned to a crisp.After yawning one last time, her red eyes started to glow as the surrounding ground around her start to vibrate. As the chicken called once more, the twig began to take back its original shape and size, not only that but also with the other twigs inside the campfire. Slowly regenerating a
Isuzu spent the rest of the day, practising getting in the world of pitch black and getting out of it. While Celeste and Iowa would support her from the outside, pulling her out if she could not. Isuzu entered that world over and over again. The structures inside started to develop even more.“Right, one last time before we eat dinner,” Celeste said as Iowa helped Isuzu settle down as she held her hand. “OK,” Isuzu answered as she held Iowa’s hand tighter. She closed her eyes as her brain started to visualise shapes and patterns in different colours. Isuzu relaxed her muscles but kept her chin up high, and as she opened her eyes,Everything was pitch black, all except for her.Isuzu walked confidently to the puddle where the other side was and gently dived into the large ray of light. She took deep breaths as she found herself on the surface of the pond and climbed out. She immediately dried up as soon as she walked around the pavement. The world around her, although still covered in
