《Rosa Perri Gilbert》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Rosa's P.O.V.
I'm going home today. Home, wow, that sounds weird. I haven't been in Mystic Falls since my parents died.
I should probably introduce myself. My name is Rosa Perri Gilbert, although everyone calls me Perri. (I'm only called Rosa when I'm in trouble). I have an older sister Elena and a twin brother Jeremy. Jeremy is actually 7 minutes older and he never lets me forget it.
The reason I've been away from home is because I go to school at the National Academy of Dance, which is in Sydney Australia. I got in about four weeks before my parents died in the car accident. I ended up going anyway, mom would have wanted me to.
Oh thats my plane, don't wanna miss it. But it probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I did.
*Time Skip*
Man that flight was long. Well, I think it was, I mostly slept.
~Beep~(Text message)
Elena~ We are at baggage claim! :)
I read the text and put my phone back in my pocket. I've missed her and Jere so much! I round the corner and see both my siblings. Jeremy spots me first.
"Perri!" he yelled running toward my, engulfing me in a hug and spinning me around. Elena soon joined us.
"We missed you so much!" They said in unison.
"I missed you guys too," I giggled hugging my sister.
Once we get in the car Elena tells me that she wants to bring me to her new friends house. I of course kinda freak out on the inside, but as long as Jeremy is there I should be fine.
You see sometimes around a lot of new people I have panic attacks. You must be wondering how I managed in dance school. Well my best friend, Kat, she kept me calm and during our time there we made more friends. And my anxiety there sorta deplinished. Now back to the car ride.

Jeremy and Elena listened to me tell them all about school, I knew they didn't get most of my 'dance talk' but they listened anyway. After a horribly long car ride we finally make it to what Elena said was, 'The Salvatore Boarding House.'
Once we enter the enormous house I notice that there are a lot of people there, but a few I recognize.
"Perri!" Caroline screamed, her, Bonnie, Matt and Tyler ran over, engulfing me in a group hug.
"Guys, can't breathe," I said, "Room... getting... darker." I dramatically began falling to the floor, but Tyler picked me up.
"Oh sorry Perr, we just missed you so much! Oh you have to tell us all about the Academy! What were classes like? Any cute guys?" Caroling rambled on.
"Care, she just got here, let the girl breathe," Bonnie chuckled everyone laughed.
"Right sorry, I'm just excited," She said blushing a bit from embarrassment.
"Its fine, Care, and I missed you guys too," I said giggling at my friends. I know what you're thinking but even though they are older doesn't mean anything. I've been friends with them for as long as Elena had been. But I am much closer to Caroline than I am with Bonnie. Just like Elena is closer to Bonnie than she is with Caroline.
"Perri, this is Alaric Saltzman," Elena said gesturing to a tall man with sandy blonde hair and a fatherly aura to him.
"It's nice to meet you Perri, I've heard a lot of... stories about you," Alaric said smiling at me and giving Caroline and Jeremy a look, "Oh and call me Ric."
"Nice to meet you too Ric, and I'm sure they told you plenty of stories, just don't believe them all," I said shaking my head.

Then I saw a guy who looked about Elena's age walk up to me, "Hi, I'm Stefan Salvatore," he greeted extending his hand to me.
"Oh so you're Stefan!" I exclaimed shaking his hand. I looked at Elena and gave her a thumbs up, she blushed and looked away.
Another man, who looked to be a few years older than Elena, made his way to me, he wore a smirk that seemed to be permanently placed on his lips, "Hello I am Damon Salvatore, I'm Saint Stefan's older, hotter brother," he said. Damon had raven black hair and bright blue eyes, no question he was hot but Caroline told me he was an asshole.
"Nice to meet you Damon," I said simply smiling at him.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
