《The war of the Gods》Artemis and Apollo(part 3)
Advertisement
The boy from the dancefloor now stood before him, so close that Apollo could reach out and touch him. Apollo wanted to caress his cheek the way he'd done with Hyacinthus but he knew that would come off as unwanted. He was also afraid of these feelings. Most of the time these feelings lead to disaster, death and loss. He'd kept his eyes from wandering for far too long. It was too painful to endure unrequited love or to lose love. He had too many enemies. Besides that, what if this was just another pretty babble that he could not gain affections for? He had a tendency to be attracted to anything pretty and as such he knew he fell in and out of love with the changing of a season. When Artemis pulled out his wallet and ordered more drinks, the boy shot a smirk at Apollo that made him want to bite that bottom lip of his. They were full and flushed with the heat he'd generated from dancing. The boy covered Artemis's view with his hand and mouthed 'I like her.' Apollo smirked and rolled his eyes making the boy laugh softly. It was like music. It was a happy, carefree laugh. There was little of that laugh going round.
"I'm Reece, Reece Turner. Also, your names are so cool. Like the Sun and Moon Gods right?" Artemis turned around with the drinks in hand and the wallet pinched between index and middle finger offering both items to her twin while she exchanged a look with Apollo then turned her eyes back to Reece. Apollo dropped his eyes to his drink and forced the smile to remain neutral.
"That's right." Apollo finally said. "And just like the stories, we are twins as well. Not many people pay attention to those stories."

"Oh. My friend is obsessed with all things geek." Reece waved his hand then lifted his glass. "Cheers."
Artemis and Apollo followed, clinking their glasses. "You mean Greek." Artemis corrected taking a sip of her drink.
There was a moment's pause where Reece looked between the two of them confused. "No...no. I mean Geek. He is an absolute nerd. He's into all sorts of geeky things like History and music and Science."
The twins looked at one another once more. There was a another word to add to their vocabulary then. Geek. "Well, Apollo is ... er into music. He's a music professor at the University of Washington and a famous violinist."
Reece's eyes widenened at Artemis's words. "No way. That's where Jamie goes to school. He's doing a degree in music history. You might be one of his professors."
Apollo's face fell upon hearing this. Despite being Gods, they were forced to follow the rules of human society, meaning Students and Professors were not to have relationships. He couldn't help but ask the question though and the light flicker of hope bubbled inside of him.
"And you, Reece? Where do you go to school?"
It was Reece's turn to look slightly disappointed and a shrugged rolled off his shoulders.
"I don't. I uh... teach Salsa to middle aged house wives and their husbands in a back alley dance studio." Reece answered dejectedly but it is exactly the answer Apollo wanted to hear. "But as soon as I make enough money, I'm going to NYC. I'm going to Julliard." Again Apollo had to hide his expression. Reece wasn't going to New York. Reece wasn't going anywhere but his bed. Reece would become his....

The Oddity: The One Who Does Not Belong
A purple ball descended from the sky, a gift from the primordial dragons, granting many races of the world access to magic. Unfortunately, humans were not one of those. During the great war, the magicless humans were nothing more than fodder, meat shields. Until one day, their powers awakened. After the war, with the ability to now wield, fire, water, earth, wind, or lightning, powerful magicians gathered to build a safe haven for humans, the Kaldora Empire. Before the humans had magic, other races prospered with it. But, within their midst, there were... oddities. People with an affinity for two elements. Each one leaving some sort of disaster in their wake. Each one, not quite fit for this world. A young boy's family, killed in an accident, only he and his sister survived the night. After that, they were split up, each taken in by a different relative. It has been eight years since the flames engulfed his home and most of his family. With his magic powers finally showing itself, he goes off to a magic academy to better learn about his newfound powers. But as he grows, something else does as well. The voice inside his head, the thing that influences his thoughts, the monster that he wish was gone, the devil inside his heart. This is a tale about connections. NOTE: The story will be slow for many of the chapters and the time will also match it, ex: goes by day by day. The time mostly will be used for introducing and adding to characters. It won't pick up until somewhere in the twenties but there will be action and events earlier on such as the missions. Just a fair warning. Order of Phantasmal Architects

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
