The Last Embrace Chapter 424

Adam put his slippers inside the plastic and placed them in the traveling bag.
Adam stared at Caden's face with amusement in his eyes. "Bro, when you love someone you are willing to sacrifice for them. Sometimes a little bit of sacrifice is needed to make everyone happy around you. It's not like that I'm going to a real prison, I'm just going to share my bothers burden and his craziness. In that way, he can feel that I genuinely cared for him and that I'm willing to sacrifice something for him. My goal is to bring my brother back into the open and fill his heart with positivity. I'm hoping that he can finally let go of the past and move on to live a good life in the future with his family. As you can see, my brother is still stuck in the past, I think he needs help, someone to push him in the right direction and only I can do that," he explained.
Caden welled up. "Bro, you're so kind. I wish I have a brother like you," he cried.
Adam guffawed. "Bro, you're so emotional and dramatic. Don't be sad for me, okay? Live your life and enjoy it. Sooner or later I'll be back, here. So, be a good boy and take care of this place, the car and lastly take care of yourself. I'm leaving now," he said.
Caden released a deep sigh. "Bye bro!"
"Bye Caden," Adam responded. He holds his traveling bags in both hands and initiated the teleportation process in his mind.
A few minutes later, Adam was gone.
...
In the Facility.
Adam landed in his mother's study room.
"Son!" Queen Margaret exclaimed in happiness.
"I'm here now, Mom, to stay for a few years together with my brother in his prison room," he announced his intention.

"But son, you don't have to do it! Your brother is just stubborn. He just wants to get revenge on you," the queen reminded him.
Adam sighed.
"Mother, it's about time that someone is willing to get inside my brother's head. The only way to heal him is to live with him. Maybe I can influence him by doing the right thing. I will attempt to bring him back in the open. I don't like it when he wasted his life in that room because of his stubbornness. So, I'm trying to help him to come to terms with everything and let go of Jessy. If he still insists on a loveless marriage with Jessy they will never be happy together. So, they have to go on separate ways so that they can both heal and move on forward."
Tears shimmered in Queen Margaret's eyes. "I'm very sad about what was left of your brother, son. He is now an empty shell of what he used to be. He was defeated by his childish and obsessive love towards Jessy. I no longer know what to do with him, he turned deaf ears in everything that we said to him. He simply won't listen to us," she said sadly.
Adam felt sad about his mother's internal suffering. It must be very hard for a mother to see her eldest son falling into the abyss of depression and self-pity.
Then the door to the study room opened, King Antone and Princess Abigail entered the room.
King Antone hugged his son. "Nice to see you here, son. Welcome back for good!" he said happily.
"Aye, nice to be back here. It's been a long time that I'm away. Now I'm going to stay here for two years and I will try my best to heal my brother Zain," he said.

King Antone released a deep sigh. "I'm very disappointed with your older brother, Zain. But if your staying with him can return him to his old self then we will be grateful to you. He's been holed up in that room for a long time without showing any sign of reform. He remained stubborn until now and it drives me crazy every time he doesn't want to talk and listen to me and your mother's words of wisdom," he lamented.
Adam saw the pain and agony that his father was suffering inside. "Don't worry, Dad. I will do everything I can do to fix the mess that I knowingly created myself. I don't care if it takes a long time, but I'm willing to help my brother return to his old self," he said with determination in his eyes.
"Good luck, brother. I will support you all the way. I will be regularly visiting you in the prison room daily. I will personally bring you human foods from the canteen," Princess Abigail said cheerfully.
"That would be awesome, sister!" Adam responded in a bright tone.
"When are you going to enter the room, son?" Queen Margaret asked.
"Tonight before the night is over. I just want to see and talk to Jessy first," Adam replied.
"Okay. Jessy is still in the clinic as of this moment. I will ask Abigail to report to us if Jessy is already out in the clinic so that you two can talk before you go inside," the queen said. "By the way, how does Jessy feel towards the news of your decision to stay inside the room with your bother for two years?"
"She takes it badly at first. She doesn't want me to stay in the room with Zain. But even if my decision is against her will I was able to persuade her to honor my plan. She will be able to accept my decision slowly once I'm already inside the room. Besides, time flies too fast. In no time, two years is finally over, by then and I'm sure the landscape will be different by then. I just have to try this, my plan has lots of potentials to succeed if I can just make it work. I started this terrible mess a long time ago. It's now time to make amends. I'm the only one who can put an end to it," he said confidently.
"Good luck, son!" King Antone said. "The moment that your older brother will finally leave that room...I will be the happiest father alive on earth," he said.
Adam looked at his parent's expectant faces. The hope glittering in his father's eyes is enough to re-enforce his will to succeed in his endeavor in bringing his brother Zain back to his old self.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.

Dawn Avante — The Record of Otherworld’s Cosmic War
The young man remembered. Through flames and ocean, he fought, all to be the symbol of hope. He started with a fist, then a gun, now a psychic blade. Some say the merging of his planet with this beautiful hell was a curse — that the Earth was doomed. As an optimist, he disagreed. They weren’t merged into a world with monsters and tyrants. The monsters were locked in the same world with a hero. What happened next was a tale as old as time. A sound of fighting was heard in the distance. He felt the presence of an old foe and several old burdens. It appeared Chronicler’s victory didn’t drill the lesson into that psychopath’s brain. Fine. He stood. He didn’t mind hard-carrying those idiots on his shoulder again. The hero vanished in the blur, speeding to save the day. … How did we get here? Well, let's go back a few hours before shit hits the fan. To a young porter who didn’t know that fate had a greater plan for him. Plans which involved comic wars, slaying outer-gods, and grenades. So. Many. Grenades.
