Goliath
I am not Scott Westerfeld in any way shape of form though we must be related by a 1/60,000,000,000,000 of a percent.
I hated the ending to Goliath, so think of this as a continuation, my way. Also looking for a Beta, hard stuff...
Yeah sorry for not updating I could give a lot of excuses, most of them are legit but life's not the nicest huh.
Trying out third P.O.V
Alek paces back and forth in his office. The strain of not finding Deryn was gnawing away at him like a Tigris Lupus.
Huffing, he sits back in his seat a weary arch in his back as he cradles his head. It was hopeless, he despaired, what chance do I have of finding her anyway?
Angrily, Alek slams his fist into his desk and sighs loudly. How dare the sun rise so tranquilly when this bloody barking world made no sense! How dare it not give him the one thing he wanted most...
"Your Highness?" cries a familiar voice.
"What," Alek sighed tiredly.
"We may have a lead."
It was as if magic happened. Alek was suddenly full of energy.
"Where Bauer!"
"It seems in the wreckage of Goliath a air balloon went up and is currently going to Canada. There may be a lead there.
Alek jumps to his feet and gives a rare smile. Any hope was better than none.
"Highness?" Bauer timidly interrupted.
"Yes?"
"If there is nothing...nevermind..." he trails off.
"I will never give up Bauer. You must know that, Austria-Hungary shall have an Empress!"
Bauer's eyes popped out a little but he hid it nicely.
"Erh-hm-Your Highness?"
"My intentions are clear as day Bauer. I miss her, I think of nothing else. I know it is unhealthy, but God's wounds, Bauer!" Alek throws his hands up in exasperation. "Surely, once in your life you must have felt this, wave of emotion, this consuming feeling!"
Bauer starts to shake his head but stops.
"I know of this feeling you speak of, Your Highness." Bauer drops his head." Life is cruel though, Life gets your hopes up only to smash them like a walker stomping on a bunny. Don't get your hopes up, Your Highness! This feeling will turn from this warm lovely thing to a knife gutting you."
Alek softened his eyes, " I know Bauer but I know my destiny. Fate could not have killed her, for it would have killed me. Now, let's go."
Alek sits anxiously on his bed, worrying.
"This damned airbeast could not go any slower" he mutters angrily. He wanted to go out of his chambers but there was not really a point.
What would he do?
Suddenly, he looked out the window, might as well enjoy the view before it was gone.
He would find Deryn. Fate could not be that cruel.
That was really short I apologize. I got stuff planned, hopefully it is gold- no platinum! Stick with third or go back to First? Is Alek too OC or is he OC at all?
