*Ava's POV*
Later that night everyone left the house. Lynn and Paul lived there so it was just us four there.
Everyone took showers and then we all sat in the living room drinking hot chocolate.
"Mom makes the best hot chocolate." Justin smiled as Lynn handed him a mug.
"When Justin was little he would always want hot chocolate to drink. So I would make it and we'd sit in the living room and drink it together and read a book." Lynn smiled.
"That's so sweet." I smiled.
"So tell us about your parents Ava." Lynn said. My parents.
"Well my parents divorced when I was fourteen and I haven't talked to
them in fourteen years." I explained.
"I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked." Lynn apologized.
"No it's fine. I've grown to accept it." I said.
"If you don't mind me asking, why haven't you talked to them?" Lynn asked me.
"Well they didn't like the fact that I wanted to leave LA and move to New York. So they said they wouldn't talk to me ever again." I explained.
"I'm sorry." Lynn apologized again.
"It's okay." I said.
"Alright who's up for a movie?" Justin asked us. We all said yeah and he went to the movie case to pick one out.
"Justin is Delivery Man still in the case?" Paul, Justin's step dad asked.
"Yeah." Justin said taking out the movie.
"You wanna watch this one?" Justin asked us. We all said yes and he put the movie in.
Justin sat next to me on the couch as we watched the movie.
The movie was really good. After it was over Lynn and Paul went up to bed.
"Good night you two." Lynn said when she hugged us both.
"Good night." Justin and I said.
We were then left alone in the living room.
"So did you like the family?" Justin asked me.
"Like them? I love them." I laughed.
"Good cause they love you to." He smiled.
"So what are we doing tomorrow?" I asked him.
"At noon I have to go rehearse for he concert and make sure everything is ready. You can stay here or you can come with me." He Said.
"I think I'll stay here and then when they leave for the concert I'll come with them." I said.
"You sure? They might interrogate you when I'm gone." He said.
"I'm sure." I smiled.
"Alright well I'm tired so I'm going to bed." He said standing up.
"Yeah me to." I said. We walked upstairs and to our rooms.
"Night Ava." He smiled.
"Night Justin." I smiled. We smiled and shut out doors.
*Justin's POV*
The next morning I left the house at noon to go to the arena to rehearse.
When I walked in I was greeted by my dad. I asked him to come with me to rehearsal.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey." He smiled. We hugged and then we walked on the stage.
"This stage is awesome." Dad Said.
"Yeah mom helped me design it." I said.
"Well your mother always had good taste." He said.
"Yeah she has." I nodded.
"Where's Ava?" Dad asked.
"She's back at the house. She wanted to stay and hang out with mom. I think Lisa and Grandma are going over there to hang out to." I said.
"So what's going on with you and Ava?" Dad asked me.

"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Are you guys just friends or are you together?" He asked.
"We're just friends dad. I thought I told you that before." I said.
"I know you did but Justin I see the way you look at her. You're in love with her." He said.
"I'm not in love with her. I really like her and I want us to be more than friends but I need some time to get over Jess and then we're going to try a relationship." I said.
"Are you sure about her Justin? You don't know anything about her."He said.
"Yeah I do." I said. What is he trying to do?
"What do you know Justin?" He asked me.
"She's thirty two. She's from LA but moved to New York when she was eighteen. She hasn't talked to her parents in fourteen years because they hate that she left them. Her parents divorced when she was fourteen. She's a lawyer and she got her degree from NYU." I Said.
"Alright maybe you do know a lot." He sighed.
"Where are you trying to get with this?" I asked him.
"I just want what's best for you Justin." He Said.
"What's best for me? I'm not a little kid anymore. I'm a grown man. You can't decide what's best for me." I said.
"But I'm still your father." He Said.
"You may still be my father but I'm a grown man dad. I'm thirty two for God's sakes!" I Said. Then my stage manager came up to us.
"Justin it's time to rehearse." The stage manager said.
"I'll see you tonight." I said to Dad. I then walked away to get my microphone. When I got my microphone I looked back and he was gone. I honestly don't care anymore.
"Great job Justin! Fifteen minutes until rehearsals start up again!" My stage manager said.
"Okay!" I said. I walked off stage and made my way to my dressing room. When I got to my dressing room I locked the door and sat on the couch. I pulled out my phone and called Ava.
"Hey." She answered.
"Hey what's up?" I Said.
"Nothing much. Your mom,Lisa and your Grandma are showing me your baby pictures." She laughed.
"What? Hand the phone to my mom!" I gasped.
"Okay!" She laughed.
"Hello?" My mom answered.
"Mom why are you showing her my baby pictures?" I asked.
"Because you were so cute!" She Said.
"C'mon mom! This is embarrassing." I groaned.
"No Justin!" She laughed.
"Whatever mom. Go on and embarrass me in front of the girl I really like." I joked.
"I sure will Son." She Said.
"Can you hand the phone back to Ava?" I asked her.
"Yeah. See you tonight. I love you." Mom said.
"Love you to." I said. Mom handed the phone to Ava.
"Hey Justin." Ava said.
"So the surprise for Grace is officially all set. They'll be there to surprise her when she comes with you to the arena." I said. I planned this just for Grace. She's going to be so happy.
"Yay! This is going to be so awesome! She's probably going to cry." Ava said.
"Well you buy the tissues." I laughed.
"Don't worry I'll buy them!" She laughed.
"Does she know anything about this?" I asked.
"I told her you have a surprise for her,but that's it." She said.

" Okay, so we'll be staying in LA for three days. What do you want to do for those three days?" I said.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll introduce you to some of my old friends.".She said.
"Or maybe we could go see your parents." I suggested.
"What? No. I can't see them Justin it's been fourteen years." She sighed.
"So? C'mon Ava. When I finally talked to my dad and I told him that I wanted to see him more it made me feel so much better." I said.
"But that's you Justin." She sighed.
"Just think Ava. One day when they leave Earth and pass away you'll have so many regrets. What if you three can get along." I said.
"I don't know Justin." She sighed.
"It's just a suggestion. If you don't want to do it then you don't have to." I Said. I don't want her to feel forced to see them.
"I'll think about it." She Said.
"So what's your favorite song by me?" I asked her.
"Summer Love. Why?" She answered.
" I was just wondering. Well I gotta go. I'll see you tonight." I said.
"Okay bye." She said.
"Bye." I said. We then hung up the phone.
I then walked back to the stage and finished rehearsals. After rehearsals I had to go to wardrobe to start to get ready for the concert and then after that I have an interview.
I walked into the interview room wearing my suit and tie.
"Hello Mr Timberlake. I'm Casey." The woman said to me.
"Hello Casey. Please call me Justin." I smiled.
"Okay. So shall we get started?" She asked me.
"Yeah." I smiled as I sat I'm the chair.
She mainly asked questions about the tour and my music. But then she asked about the one person I was hoping she wouldn't bring up.
"So how is your wife Jessica?" She asked. Just what I need. How do I answer this? I haven't seen her in months.
"She's good." I said giving Casey a fake smile.
"There's been reports that you two aren't together anymore. Are they true?" She Said.
"I would rather not talk about my personal life. This interview is supposed to be just about my tour." I said.
"I understand." She nodded. Well guess what. She didn't understand.
A couple questions later she asked about the mysterious girl I was with at the club the night I met Ava.
"Who is the girl you were with at the club the night after your concert in New York?" She asked.
"Like I said I would rather not talk about my personal life." I said.
"Please Justin. Just answer this question and I'll be done." She persisted.
"Fine. She is just a friend. We met at my concert and we've stayed in contact." I said.
"So just a friend?" She asked me.
"Yes." I answered.
"Okay. Thank you for your time Justin." She smiled.
"Thank you for having me." I said. I walked out of the room. Man am I pissed. She has no right to ask questions about Jess! Well it is kind of her job. Ugh.
"Hey Justin your family is on their way." Johnny said to me as I walked down the hallway.
"Okay. Call me when they're here." I Said.
"Okay." He said. I walked back to my dressing room and locked the door.
Suddenly my phone viberated and I looked at it. Ava sent me a text. It was a picture of her, mom,Paul,Dad, Lisa and Stephen. They all were smiling making funny faces. They were in the car on the way to the arena.
The text said, 'On our way! See you soon rockstar!'.
Johnny then came into my room and told me they were here. I walked to where they all were and said hello and hugged them all.
"Let's get a family picture. Then I can put it on my social media sites." I suggested. We got someone to take the picture and we got ready to take the picture but then I saw Ava standing pit of the picture.
"Ava what are you doing?" I asked her.
"It's a family picture." She said.
"But you're part of the family!" I said.
"Yeah!" The rest of my family added.
"C'mon Ava!" I Said. She smiled and stood next to me for the picture.
After we took a nice family picture and then a funny one I posted them online.
The caption read,'My amazing and crazy family came to see me in concert..It's good to be home! Let's do this Memphis!'.
After I posted the pictures we all went to the catering service to get something to eat. I got a piece of pizza. Alright I don't have the Best eating habits but at least I stay in shape!
"Justin be careful you'll get that on your suit." Mom said.
"I'll be careful mom." I said.
"No you won't. Justin you are my son and I know how you are." She said.
"Here Lynn I got this." Ava said. She got a napkin and tucked it into my collar.
"Thank you Ava." I laughed.
"You're welcome Justin." She laughed.
"Ava, you're a smart girl." Mom smiled.
"Thank you." Ava smiled.
After we ate it was almost time for the concert. All the Tennessee Kids gathered back stage together as I talked to my family.
"Hey Justin!" One of them called. I turned around and smiled. I ran over to them and we got in our circle and jumped up and down.
"What tour are we on?" A Tennessee kid asked.
"The 20/20 experience tour!" We all answered.
"Who's the best?" Another asked.
"JT!" We all answered.
"Where are we?" Someone asked.
"Memphis!" We all answered.
Now it was my turn to ask something.
"Who are we?" I asked them all.
"JT and the Tennessee Kids!" They all answered.
"Who are we?" I asked again.
"JT and the Tennessee Kids!" They answered again. We all then stopped jumping and put our hands in the middle of our circle.
"Let's take back the night!" I cheered. We all cheered and I went back toy family.
"Justin can we talk?" Dad asked me.
"I have to get on stage." I said. He nodded his head and I turned to my family.
"Alright I gotta get on stage but thank you all for coming! I hope you guy's love the show!" I smiled.
"Good luck!" They all cheered.
"Thanks." I smiled. I then walked to my starting position.
"Let's do this." I said to myself.
After I sung 'pusher love girl'.I decided to talk to the crowd.
"What's up Memphis?" I asked. The crowd cheered loud.
"My family is here!" I smiled. The crown cheered any louder.
"I would like to thank my family for everything they've done for me. You guy's are amazing." I smiled. The crowd cheered and I looked over at my family. Both of my parents had tears in their eyes.
"Now my amazing friend Ava is here and earlier I asked her what her favorite song by me is and she said summer love." I said. I looked over at Ava and smiled.
"So this one's for you Ava." I smiled. Then the music boomed out and I danced as I sung. I made my way to the VIP section and went to Ava.
"I can't wait to fall in love with you.You can't wait to fall in love with me
This just can't be summer love, you'll see.This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E).'Cause I can't wait to fall in love with you.You can't wait to fall in love with me.This just can't be summer love, you'll see.This just can't be summer love (L-O-V-E)" I sung to her.
She had the biggest smile on her face. After the song was over I walked over to my family.
"Hey family!" I smiled. The crowd all cheered as I hugged my family. I then got back on stage to continue the show.
After the concert was over Ava and I had to get on the tour bus so we could drive to Columbus Ohio.
"I'll see you guy's at Christmas." I said to them all. I hugged everyone and said goodbye. As I hugged my mom she whispered something in my ear.
"Be good to her." She whispered. I smiled and nodded my head.
"Alright Ava let's get out of here." I smiled.
"It was so nice to meet you all." Ava smiled.
"We love you guys." I smiled as I got on the tour bus.
"We love you more!" Mom said.
"Ava! Wait for me!" Stephen smiled.
"Sure Stephen." Ava laughed. Stephen grinned as I glared at him.
"Dude no." I shook my head.
"Dude yes!" Stephen laughed. I shook my head and shut the door.
The bus then pulled off. I sat on the couch next to Ava.
"So how'd you like Memphis?" I asked her.
"I love it." She smiled.
"And my family?" I asked.
"They're amazing. I love them so much." She smiled.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yes! Your mom even gave me a present!" She laughed.
"What did she give you?" I asked. She laughed and pulled out a picture of me when I was fourteen.
"Your hair was so curly!" She laughed.
"I'm going to kill her." I sighed.
"Don't. I love this picture of you." She smiled.
"You do?" I asked.
"Yes!" She smiled. I smiled and took the picture of me from her.
"Justin don't hurt the picture!" She said.
"I'm just hanging it on the fridge!" I laughed. I hung the picture up and Sat next her.
"Now we just have to get a picture of you." I smiled.
"Nope." She smiled.
"Yes!" I laughed.
"Never." She smiled.
"I'm Justin Timberlake. I can do anything." I smiled.
"Fine then,Justin Timberlake." She Smiled.
"Fine then, Ava Little." I smiled.
For the rest of the night we hung out and talked until we fell asleep on the couch.

Of Life and Light
Home. By definition, such a word means "A place where one lives", but what happens when one is removed from their home by those with greater authority? One would seek out another place to live, of course. Karastak, a Devil King and a Fallen God of a world called Terra, was removed from his world by something greater than himself, and has journeyed to the world of Azzarath by way of Azazel, God King of the Azzarathean Pantheon. Perhaps she performed thusly through pity, charity, or a simple act of kindness with no strings attached. Regardless, he is deposited near a village upon a mountainous range within the world. There, he meets up with his Human family, a grizzled old Templar, a shy Cleric, and an apathetic Mage, that came to take him away from his troubles, but he does not budge. That is, until one of his servants speaks of finding a new home. However, perhaps instead of finding a home, he finds adventure instead? The story within is a Frame Story, which means it is a story within another story. In that this one is being told by three personages, a God King called the Ageless, a Lich King called Brutus, and a Goddess named Sarah. Each of them speaks of the Ageless's past self, one called Karastak, as he journeys onwards throughout the worlds within the Azzarathean Pantheon in search of something more.

Author here, just wanted to say that if the synopsis did not sound as exciting as I had hoped it would be, try reading the first 10 chapters? I promise it won't be terrible! :) Whoops, forgot to mention, prologues don't count as chapters! If you've read this far, I might as well tell you what I was inspired by!

By 'inspiration,' I refer to mainly how the characterizations plot devices, dialogue, conflict introduction/resolution, and thought processes are used and introduced in those works of literature.
