《Laddie's Daughter & The Lost Boys》18. Laddie & Dwayne

MAY'S POV...
After both Papa and I dried our tears, we let go of each other, as we had ended up holding and hugging each other for bit. I heard a creak come from the kitchen doorway and turned towards it, to find that Dwayne was at the door not wanting to end the sweet moment between Papa and I.
I turn back towards Papa so that I could let him know how there was another lost boy revied from the dead. This is the one person that Papa has missed the most because he was like a father to him. Papa's back was towards Dwayne and I decided to turn him around slowly.
"Papa?" I speak.
"Yes, sweetheart." He replies.
"Someone has missed you and they have come to see you again. Turn around and look behind you." I tell him gently, knowing that this was going to be really emotional.
Papa slowly turns towards that door and sucks in a big breath and whispers "Dwayne".
"Laddie" Dwayne whispers also.
Papa rushes towards Dwayne and hugs him the tightest he can hug. There were tears streaming down both of their faces, more so Papa than Dwayne though. They didn't want to let go, I could hear Paul and Marko slowly make their way towards the kitchen, wondering what is going on in here.
"You have grown up so much Laddie. I can't believe you have a daughter now. Have you had a good life?" Dwayne asks Papa. It is the most I have heard him speak.
"Yes, I have had a good life, my daughter is my world. A lot has happened since then." Papa tells Dwayne.
They hug for a couple more moments before they let go of each other. After they let go of each other, Marko and Paul walk past them and come straight towards me. Paul hugs me, while Marko goes to hold my face in his hands and asks "Are you okay now? We were worried about you."

"I'm all good now thank you." I reply.
Papa steps towards me and puts his hands on my shoulders as soon as Paul and Marko let go of me. He turns us so that we are facing Dwayne.
"I just realized that I need to introduce my daughter to you properly. This is my lovely daughter May Duana Dawe and she is the light of my life. I named her after Paul's Mother and her middle name is a female version of Dwayne." Papa explains to Dwayne.
"You named he after me?" Dwayne asks somewhat emotional.
"Yeah, I did, I wanted to honor you guys because you all were my family." Papa replies.
Papa was still hold me by the shoulders when Dwayne came over and gave the both of us a big hug. Marko and Paul not wanting to be left out, practically jumped on us and joined in the hug. I was finally starting to feel somewhat whole, I didn't feel like some piece of me was missing.
"Now, all that's left is for David to come back." I point out to my ever-growing family.

The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
8 179Super-Soldier in Another World
The anti-matter bomb had worked... sort of. Hoplite thirty-seven didn't think that it worked quite the way that it was intended... After all, he was still alive and now he had to deal with elves, magic, and a primitive human civilization, along with other fairy-tale creatures he didn't understand.

Sometimes, even the most outright affront to liberty seems to be justified under certain contexts. Or maybe I should stop reading about Stalin, I think it's affecting me.
