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

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Not your average Bird
Rago didn't have what you would call a good life... Or lives, in his case. For you see, Rago is one of an infinitesimally small number of people that remembers his previous lives. In his first life, he was a young spartan warrior that was killed for being too weak. In his second life, he was a young squire in the courts of Camelot that was tragically killed when his master lost control of his horse, and it kicked him in the head. In his third life, he was a child soldier in Africa that managed to escort a group of children to safety before he was shot in the head by their now ex-captors. And in his fourth life, he spent his entire life in a hospital bed being treated for a currently incurable auto-immune disease. ... But, that's when things changed. He was suddenly brought before an all-powerful being and given yet another go at life... Let's hope things are different this time.

Invader Zim >> Not Just a Defect <<
First of all, this is my first Invader Zim story. Second of all, I never even watched the show when it first came out, considering I thought I was too old to be watching a Nickelodeon TV show. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago when one of my favorite YouTubers, Saberspark, did a review on the new Invader Zim movie. He said a lot of good stuff about the show, and how much he love jt, so I decided to give it a try. I immediately started loving the show after watching the movie first (should have started with the TV show, but I wasn't thinking at the time and wanted to see ehh Saberspark liked it so much (>w>)) Anyway, this story will be taking place AFTER the movie, Invader Zim Enter the Florpus. It will be taking place a couple weeks, maybe a month, after the Florpus incident, so not much would have changed. Again, if you know the artist of the Cover Art used for this story, please tell me so I could credit them properly. Anyway, I hope you'll all enjoy this story as much a I will enjoy writing it (^v^/) (Don't worry I ask permission to post and share it's book it belongs to Veronika1930) https://www.wattpad.com/story/199046111-invader-zim-%E3%80%8Bnot-just-a-defect-%E3%80%8A
