The Protector — Gabriel Mai

Gabriel smiled. “I didn’t know there was a feminine version. Your home sounds so different than mine. I wonder if the entire world is so different. I’ve always wondered what’s beyond the sea that isolates my home, but we aren’t allowed to leave.”

His foot stepped on a rotten floorboard, causing him to s…[Read more]

“That’s nicer than being called Fifth at your christening.” Lucy glanced at him. “That’s my ma’s name too. Gabriella, I mean. It’s the prettiest name I know.”

@ellette-giselle

Ah ok that’s cool! Yeah I used to post chapters and kinda made Tauren my whole personality back then lol.

Gabriel paused. “I suppose. When I don’t wear my mask, I’m merely a strange peasant. When wearing the mask, people think I’m a hero. They say I’m probably some rich knight who decided to dedicate themselves to protecting the people from afar. They never suspect that the real man behind the mask s…[Read more]

Wait, this is actually crazy, did you join kp after I stopped posting my story?? Tauren was my main oc for like 2 years! His story is the one I was writing when I joined kp, and it’s unfortunately been neglected for a bit. Who’s your Tauren I don’t think I’ve met him?

After he was sure the floor was steady, the Protector gave Lucy one of his blades again. Lucy held it with the tip pointing down, but it glowed enough to illuminate their path. The walls swelled from years of shifting earth; dark solidified soil cracked through the plaster. Where the wall was unbroken, someone had decorated it with…[Read more]

Gabriel sheathed his blades. Now only the rune on his mask glowed, but he knew if the room tilted and they fell, his unsheathed blades could kill one of them. He grabbed Lucy’s hand, nervous about being separated again.

“Before this room shifts anymore, let’s get out of here.” He looked around the r…[Read more]

There was another door ahead; gray, with wooden panels, it was the kind of door that hid along an equally gray wall in a sagging house.

“I want to know why it’s here.” Lucy got up and, after some thought, played a descending scale.

The floor creaked. As Lucy played, the room shifted like a ship at sea, and when she looked at the…[Read more]

Gabriel flinched at the loud boom of the piano cover. He cast Lucy a glance, making sure she was okay, before peering inside the piano. “It does have strings.” He hit one of the keys, watching the hammer strike the corresponding string inside the piano, silently fascinated.

Eventually, he dropped his h…[Read more]

Lucy had to choke down a snort. She took the piano lid and pulled. It was heavy but had no hinges. It fell off with a thunderous boom. She scampered back, lost her balance, and sat down suddenly. Dust rose and she let out two sharp sneezes.

@rae thank you! My dad said the same so it looks like this is a keeper!

My prose is weird lol. I kept it in my style (sorta like my fanfic) but I also wanted to inject a bit of the style from books I like.

I read it, and I have to say, it immediately captivated me.

Not only does the Prologue promise us a swash-buckling tale of heroics and battles, but I find the prose rather enjoyable. It definitely has that storyteller feel like Uncle Garth in Secondhand Lions (if anyone gets that movie reference). Maybe not exact, but it reminded me of…[Read more]

When Lucy tried to play the piano, Gabriel relaxed, realizing it was merely an instrument. He pressed a few keys exploratorily, sneezing as the dust traveled under his mask and into his nose. “Is it a magic instrument? Most the ones in my world are ones you have to blow wind through to work, or have s…[Read more]

@rae

BAhaha XD

I think it’s safe to say this is a weird place and there can be weird random objects scattered within. Maybe that says something about the labyrinth masters, not so much the piano itself.

@whalekeeper
I love how Lucy is wondering why there’s a piano in the room, while I’m over here like “It couldn’t be empty, and just a couch or chair is boring, so piano was the first thing I thought of”. Zero deep meaning just a brain who was trying to rp while listening to a streamer talk about a mech video game.

Lucille

“You’ve…” Lucy trailed off, brow furrowing. She clacked her fingers over the keys and tried to play a folk song, but only knew a few seconds of it.

“A piano? This is a piano?”

Gabriel touched it gently, dust flying into the air. He jumped back defensively as an off-tune note rang in the air from the key he pressed.

“Is that normal?” He watched the piano like a curious kitten, not sure if they should attack, ignore, or play with it.
