《Prince Of the Abyss》The campsite
Advertisement
The RV the group purchased was a colossal hunk of modern designer genius. It was painted black mostly with the front window curved in a convex shape. The roof can automatically extend into a large patio with a modern coffee table that retracts out as needed.
The inside is designed to a modern yet west contemporary style. Wood beams supports the ceiling and the floor is laid with soft, maroon carpets. The kitchen is state of the art and two large sofa are on either side of the middle section. The back of the bus spreads out in to three queen size beds.
This was the definition of traveling in luxury.
Constantine carried his short legs up on to the drivers seat and started playing with the buttons. He looked like a child at the toy store.
"Where are we headed first?" Aviel asked as a large map was spread out in front of them.
"If I am not mistaken, deep in this pine tree forest. There is an ancient hermit who can aid us in a cleanse and possibly regaining some grace. Hillel said while stroking his non existent beard."
"I know the man personally and I think he will stand for our cause" Hillel reassured himself.
"That's a four days drive, we are going in to a temperate rainforest" Castiel cut in.
"Oh I love the giant evergreens and beautiful ferns" Rydia commented
"Temperate rainforests are one of the most spiritual places on the planet" Hillel informed.
"Great, set sail to the hermit!" Jackel shouted sarcastically.
Thus, the road trip begins.
In the next couple of days, the group spent most of their time lounging around.
They occasionally entered the mirror world through the mirror they installed on the bus.
But the scenery did not differ too much since it was mostly just plains and farmland.

Constantine was driving and chewing on a piece of jerky when he spoke into the speaker. "We are at redwood national park guys. Going to go as deep as I can and find a desolate spot for us.
They drove on for another hour before Constantine was finally satisfied and parked the RV at a very secluded area.
Everyone got out of the RV for some fresh air.
"It's so beautiful" Rydia was close to squealing.
Massive pines, oaks and various evergreens covered the landscape. The ground was littered with ferns and fallen trees all covered in layers of lime green moss.
The air was so fresh, you can smell a faint sweetness mixed in with the pine.
The group was sharing a moment of bliss when a clonking and rattling sound came from a short distant.
Soon an old camper wagon came into view. It was so beat up, it's hard to tell if the dents were a part of the design.
A group of 8 teenagers squeezed themselves out of the tiny wagon as if performing a circus trick.
"You guys found our hot spot dudes." A teen with a bandana spoke while waving his hands out in a weird gesture.
"This must be fate, we will share a magical time together tonight" a girl from the group said. She had shoulder length dreadlocks.
"You guys must be like super rich or something eh? That's one fancy ride." The bandanna said
"Well it matters not, we are all children of the mother moon" the girl added.
Jackel was a little speechless, he never knew how to deal with hippies.
"We would be honoured to share tonight's feast with you lovely people" Rydia said.
Nice safe, Jackel thought.
Night fell, and a small bonfire was set up with the courtesy to the hippie teenagers.

Constantine brought out sausage and fish to barbecue but the hippies rejected the meat and gave Constantine a lecture about saving the animals and eating vegan.
In the end, Constantine felt too guilty about the meat that he settled with the wild mushroom pasta the hippies prepared.
After they ate, the hippies brought out a heavily decorated mirror to the bonfire.
"Tonight we will show you beautiful souls another world filled with spirits and beauty" the girl said to the fallen ones.
The fallen ones gave each other a knowing look, which the girl interpreted as insecurities.
"Do not worry, it's safe. We will be able to come back. The trip is a once in a lifetime experience. You will regret not trying it. The girl said eagerly
The eight hippies were all gathered in front of the mirror and started to pass around cups filled with a black liquid.
The fallen ones all received a cup in front of them.
"Brings back memories eh?" Castiel joked.
"Look into the mirror and drink the elixir of transcendenc, friends, do not fear the unknown. the girl was trying to reassure the fallen ones.
They all drank the black liquid and looked into the mirror. The white light escaped their body and entered the mirror world.
At this location in the mirror world, the air was swarmed with fireflies that blinked a range of different colours. The trees are even more grand, standing as tall as skyscrapers. The night sky had dancing lights and the echoes of the forest was like a melody.
The eight hippies did not look the same, their true appearance took on a more herbivores look, some had antlers and some large deer like eyes.
However they all held an expression of being utterly baffled by the forgotten ones.
"How can anything be this beautiful and full of glorious grace." The deer girl said with astonishment.
As if to impress them further. Castiel unleashed his giant wings and they stood arching to the sky.
The hippies started to scream in ecstasy.
"You people are gods and goddess!" The hippies were cheering.
"We actually came here to seek out a hermit. Perhaps you would like to join us" Rydia said.
"Can we? I mean it would be to the greatest of our pleasure" the deer girl said.
The big gang sets out towards the mountain in the distance together.

Alive?
In the ruins of a once glorious city, a mage awakens. As the sole survivor(?) of the cataclysm that destroyed his entire species, he’s forced to adapt. While learning the intricacies of his new body, he must first carve out a place for himself in a familiar yet foreign world before he can set out to reclaim his heritage. I cannot stress this enough: the character is not human, do not expect him to react like one. I know the hand on the cover only has five finger, but I doubt I am going to find a royalty free radiography with two perfectly functional thumbs placed in a sensible way anytime soon. The rewrite is finished. Beta readers are welcomed and I am still wondering whether I should put the sci-fi tag or not.
