《Laddie's Daughter & The Lost Boys》4. Trying to find Papa
Advertisement
TIME SKIP....
May's POV.....
We finally get to my home and the sky is just starting to darken. I come from a small town that is between Rockhampton and Mackay in Queensland. It is a nice and quaint little town; it is the type of town where everyone knows everyone.
Especially when you have a dad like mine, my dad is the type of person that likes to help anyone that needs it. Because he got help when he was younger, so he wants to give back to the world that helped him.
He is a single parent because my mum died giving birth to me and dad loved her too much to ever get with anyone else. He was just content with it just being him and I. when I was growing up, he would always tell me what it was like growing up in America as a kid with no one.
Although sometimes he would let it slip in his stories about four brothers that took care of him and he got adopted. I look towards the house and only the kitchen light is on at the moment. 'Okay, dad should either be in the shed doing whatever he does in there or he is in the memory room.' I think to myself.
I turn towards Marko to see that he is asleep, I softly shake him to wake him up. He moves a little bit and it looks like he is half asleep. I lead him towards the house and we head in, I guide him towards the couch in the lounge room and lie him on the couch to sleep some more.
I leave him there to rest and go in search of dad. Now here's the thing about dad, he doesn't like to be called dad or father, I call him papa and when I am annoyed, I call him Laddie.

I go searching the house for him and I can't find him anywhere. I go around calling "Papa, where are you? Papa" .. nothing not a sound, 'where is he, I know he is home unless he is playing that hiding game again.'
I go and check the memory room. Nope not in there, I look towards the middle of the room that is surrounded by candles, where there are three jars, each have a unique design on them.
The one on the left is covered in tribal patterns and leopard skin, the middle is covered in black leather with a chain around it and the one on the right is covered in smoke patterns and music notes.
I quickly go towards them and give a quick kiss to top of each vase and say a quick goodnight as I do every night.
I look around the house again, I am starting to get frustrated from not finding papa. I go towards the middle of the house where the sound echo's and yell as loud as I can.
"LADDDDDIIIIEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Damn am I loud, thank you singing lessons.

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!

The Qi to Immortality
The Golden Rule of transmigration into a xianxia world is not to get involved in the affairs of important characters. Death follows them, bearing down on the ordinary people they interact with. For months Zhao Mi has managed to abide by this self imposed rule, making a living as an Assistant Admissions Disciple for the Misty Cradle Sect. When a misstep with a young master places him in the sights of a heartless clan intent on saving face, the only viable solution is to invert the Golden Rule. To surround himself with enough important characters that their fortune bleeds into Zhao Mi’s humble life. Walking such a path will require surviving violence, navigating politics, and unraveling conspiracies. The otherworldly knowledge he possesses might give Zhao Mi a chance at emerging unharmed. Whether his modern soul can weather the immorality of life in Jianghu is another matter.
