《Klaus's Pet》Chapter 39

Note: pic is Baring Mountains in the Cascades
Lorelei's POV:
Hayley, Rebekah and I sit at a table at Rousseau's. We tried to take Freya along but she wanted some one on one time with Hope.
We're sitting down chatting when I notice a woman glaring at us from across the room.
"Hey what's wrong?" Hayley asks
"That woman over there has quite the staring problem." I say
"She's been staring us down since we got here." Hayley remarks
Without a word, Rebekah walks over. We follow behind her, wondering what she's about to do.
"Do you have an issue with us or something?" Rebekah demands
The woman doesn't speak.
Then she vanishes in front of our eyes.
"Witches." Hayley groans
We go sit back down at the table and order drinks.
"What's the coolest place you've been to?" I ask
"I loved Italy."
"Appalachians."
"Baring Mountains were pretty nice." I say
"Where is that?" Hayley asks
"Cascades. We should go sometime." I answer
Our conversation is cut short by an argument in the back of the bar. Four vampires are getting into it. A man has the woman by the arm and won't release her.
This won't end well.
Hayley walks over and stands in front of the man.
"Let her go."
"Mind your business half breed."
She pries his fingers off and drags him out of the bar. We all follow. She snaps his neck and turns to the woman.
"You've got two hours tops. Get out of here."
The woman thanks her and speeds off.
We head back to the compound a little tipsy and exhausted from the events of the night.
I walk into the study to find Nik painting. He's just started on a fresh canvas and I can't quite make out what it's supposed to be but I sit down and watch as he makes his vision come to life.

We sit there in silence together and I smile to myself a little.
I watch as he mixes the paint into soft greens, purples and blues. I've never had that much of a creative streak or the amount of patience to sit down and design a work of art but Nik makes it look effortless.
I want to spend enough time with everyone before I leave again for Georgia.
I made a deal with Nik that I'd help James with one more round of training then I'd take a break for awhile to focus on spending time in New Orleans. James understood and I go up again for the last time in a few days.
We all go outside to feed then head home.
I'm out before my head hits the pillow.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
