《Secrets of the Arcane》The Unexpected
Advertisement
While waiting at their meeting place Julien began to think how this date will not be awkward. The first date is the make-or-break thing.
He racks his brain and then he remembers a quote from the book he read before and it says "Don't cover lies with your love". He mumbly said, "My take on that word is to be true to yourself."
You should accept yourself first before accepting other people in your life.
Meanwhile, in a big apartment located in the heart of the central district, Vel'Krim and his companion are watching Julien and his woman. " [SoulSet: Chase Destiny] is useful and those two lovebirds... It feels like I'm watching a love story film. Haha!" Vel'krim said with his hoarse voice.
Sil, in his misty grey form, said: "Was it a waste using that skill? You can only use it five times and that is the fourth one?"
"Not waste. My intuition said this kid is very special and he will not be killed early. It can be that he will be an important figure in the past and in the future." Vel'krim said solemnly.
Sil mist figure just swayed and said nothing.
Going back to the meeting spot of Julien and Niana, the daylight is up and there are no clouds in the sky. The sound of cars and the passing sound of the train reverberates the place. Julien standing near an outpost is checking his phone.
It's already 9:50 AM and Niana is still not around and there is no message yet from her.
"Did she dump me? Should I call her? I'm kinda worried that something arises. I should call her, yes."
Still hesitating, Julien swiped up his phone and began to look for Niana's social media profile "No post or update" I will call her.

Julien began to ring the phone. Brrr, the sound of ringing is echoing in his mind he is tensing up. After a few rings, a girl with a beautiful voice speaks.
"Julien! Hello, are you already there" Her voice is quite on a high pitch like panicking and there is a hint of her being pained.
With a huffing sound, she didn't wait for Julien's answer. She followed up and said hurriedly, "Julien, I got into a minor accident and I'm still at my place." she explained with a low tone.
Julien hastily answered as well "No worries I just got here! I will drop by your place now and let's talk there. I'm worried about what happened to you."
He walks for a few meters and waves his hands up to get a taxi while talking to Niana.
He continued, "What happened? Are you hurt? Did you contact the police? "
On the other line, Niana is blushing. She never sees Julien panic like this.
She hurriedly answered "No worries, it's not like some sort of accident that involves the police. I just tripped down the stairs. I lost my balance"
She lost and tripped because she was hurrying to go to the meeting place but she did not mention this.
And then she continued. "No worries, I just sprained my left foot. It's just that I can't walk properly and I need to rest for a bit."
"I hope nothing is broken. I Will buy an ice pack and first aid kit here." Julian said and then continued "I'm sure you didn't eat also, do you have something in your mind to eat? I will buy it on the way."
Niana on the other line feels romantically excited and answers, "Let's eat our favorite pizza and chicken".

Julien answered back, "Okay I'll get that for you. Anything else?"
Niana on the line still blushing said," Thank you Julien. That's all".
"Don't mention it. I'll see you later, probably I'll be there around 30 minutes."
"All right, take care. Bye."
"Bye..." and Julien drops the call. He is now looking outside the window spacing out.
The taxi driver then interrupted his dazing and said "Hey, sir where are we going?" The driver stared at him for two full minutes now.
Julien snapped and hurriedly said "G-green leaf Condominium and then let's take a drive-thru too. This shop is on the way! "
The driver laughed and said, "Okay."

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
