《Of Demigods and Wizards》In Which a Spellcaster Must Confront Her Past
Advertisement
With the capture of the demigods, Luke sailed away from the Malfoy yacht. Jacquelyn watched until the yacht disappeared from her vision, then climbed into an emergency life raft that was behind the yacht. She dispatched Magnus to retrieve her bag (which contained Ron's book, the POV gun, the diary and the rosary beads, and the wand) as the others climbed into the raft.
When Magnus returned with the bag, Jacquelyn started up the raft and the raft quickly sped away from the Malfoy yacht. She felt guilty for not being able to stop Luke or help her friends. Magnus said to her, "You did the right thing; Luke was foolish to think that he could take on both you and them. Plus, we can't be on his ship, as we're not demigods."
"You're right," Jacquelyn said as the raft shuttled towards Los Angeles. She knew that it was not over yet, as Luke was planing to go after her as well...
"This really sucks," Jacquelyn snapped as she and the others pulled up onto the dock. They had recently evaded capture by Luke Castellan and so far, they all knew that give or take, Luke was going to come after them. It was only a matter of time when that happened.
"Now, let's go over this again, shall we?" said Jacquelyn.
"Go over what?" said Magnus.
"Remember the night when Sam and Alex died?" said Jacquelyn.
"Well, that's not something that we need to talk about," Magnus said with a strange look on his face.
"I have a feeling that Luke knows something that we don't," said Jacquelyn.
They frowned as they thought back to the day it happened...
(Summer 2006)
7-year-old Jacquelyn was glaring at the lake; she wasn't too fond of swimming in something that fish, ducks, and turtles swam in. She was going through her "clean" phase.

"Don't tell me that you're scared of a little lakewater," 11-year-old Sameth laughed as he saw Jacquelyn.
"No," said Jacquelyn. "I'm not fond of swimming in water that fish swim in."
"Gross!" Magnus (who was also 7) echoed.
"Come on, Sam, leave them alone," 10-year-old Alex snapped. "I'm sure she don't want to scare off the fishes for tonight's dinner."
"That's enough, you two," 9-year-old Sara snapped. "Leave Jacquelyn alone or else your head's going to end up in a garbage can!"
"I don't see how this is helping us," Magnus cried out.
"Wait, there's more to this story," Jacquelyn snapped. "Remember what happened that night?"
"Oh, I think we haven't forgotten that night," Magnus said.
(the night of July 10, 2006)
The kids were laughing as they heard Arexus sing yet another bawdy song, one that annoyed Irina to no end. She said to him, "Rex, are you sure that the kids should be hearing the beer song?"
"They're only kids once, Rina," said Arexus. "We can't protect them forever."
"It's not that," said Irina. "I'm just concerned that they'll grow up repeating those naughty jokes that you're exposing them to."
"You know my clan can't resist a good beer joke," Arexus laughed. "Now, tell the kids to get ready for the night hike. If all goes well, then they can get a glimpse of Mars tonight."
Meanwhile, the kids had climbed down a huge hill and were wandering around in anticipation for the night hike. None of them knew that they were standing near Camp Half-Blood. Magnus said, "Uh, I really think that we should be heading back to camp."
"What's the matter, scaredycat?" Sam mocked him.
"Sam, would you cut that out?" Sara snapped. "Besides, he's right. We don't know what's down there."

As the kids climbed back up the hill, a huge monster was spotted. Jacquelyn noticed the monster and shouted, "It's a monster! Run!"
Arexus heard her scream and rushed towards the terrified children. The monster roared as he lunged at Rex, who swatted him away. Irina pulled out her staff and zapped another monster. The kids ran to the pentacle of protection that Irina had set up hours earlier. The monsters snarled and lunged at Jacquelyn and Sara, but Arexus and the older children pounced on him and they all vanished without a trace.
Irina was heartbroken to discover that her husband and children were no longer there, but Jacquelyn and Sara were safe. Magnus had alerted his father, Helmut Ebersbach, and he and the other werewolves quickly subdued the other monsters.
With the rumored deaths of Arexus Ritterwolff and his stepsons Sameth and Alexis Ulrich, Irina blamed a local wizard for her husband's death. The Silverroot clan rallied together to get that wizard executed. Irina that's how Jacquel and Sara (along with their little brother Jeremiah) and went to stay with her mother Isabella Braumlein Crenshaw.
Magnus said, "I think Luke told us because maybe he was giving us a clue. But a clue to what, I wonder."
"Maybe Sam and Alex aren't as dead as we think," said Jacquelyn. "Mom refused to believe that and she set out to go find them last year. I bet she's still looking for them as we speak."
"We'll go find them after this is over," said Magnus. "They can't be missing forever. If we're lucky, then we might be able to find your dad as well."
"Indeed," said Jacquelyn. "But we need new clothes. It'll do us no good to be wandering around L.A. dressed like this." She glanced at her travel-stained silver dress and shoes. "We need a disguise and a place to hide where Luke will not be able to find us."
Within an hour, in clean clothes, the tiny group found themselves hiding in Disneyland. Magnus felt skeptical, as if he knew that something bad was going to happen. But Jacquelyn and the twins had convinced him that Disneyland was the safest place for a spellcaster, three young werewolves, and a stowaway to hide. Plus, the tourists there could be fooled into thinking that the magic was part of the park.
Even then, Jacquelyn knew that nothing good was going to come from her hiding in the park, especially when her biggest secret was about to be revealed...

Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World
Dyne Valiant is a frustrated gamer. But as one of the best special ops agents that the world has, his superiors and the government itself ensured that he won’t be able to play video games because of his addictive tendencies. And so he lived and fought without ever being able to play beyond the nostalgic PS-One games. Fate was cruel as he finally meets his end after exacting revenge on those who killed his family. But on his dying moments, another dying man with strange magical powers appears. But unlike Dyne, justice was not served for this man. He then offers Dyne a chance to satisfy the greatest regret of his life… To play the videogames he loved back when he was a kid. Using the enigmatic god-tiered artifact, the Imaginarium Bond, Dyne is revived and sent to the world of cultivators where he must reach for the peak and challenge the gods of that world. And while the path of Immortality and a second life was a great gift, Dyne's joy was elsewhere. Within the Imaginarium Bond were three worlds that the mysterious man created with the last of his powers. These worlds were based on three PS-One classic games and are designed to help Dyne in his Path of Cultivation. Soon, Dyne will reach the Cultivation world and fight the wicked Kings, Saints, Devils, and Gods that now control it. Soon, Dyne will awaken the Genesis Trees of Legaia. Soon he will conquer the many nations with his Rune Knights in the continent of Forsena. Soon he will be reborn as an Endless to battle gods and dragons and slay the founding Emperor of the Fou Empire. Dyne was deprived of gaming all his life. But now his life depends on his gaming. Witness the tales of Dyne Valiant in his adventure as a Nostalgic Gamer in a Cultivation World. --- (Will also be posting this on Scribblehub.com and Webnovel.

He stated, his face dangerously close to mine."W-why?" I managed to ask.He didn't reply to me but instead, he started to lean in, making my heart beating fast in my chest. My hands were on my side, on the table, gripping it tightly. He put one of his hand on my cheek and made me look at him. He leaned and crashed his lips on mine.
