*Justin's POV*
JB, Jimmy, Jess and I all sat in the living room. Ariana is upstairs getting ready for her date with Alex, while Jon and Kim we're in their room talking. Jon is talking to her about moving to LA.
"So you're moving here?" Jess smiled at her brother.
"If Mom and Dad do then yeah I am. I don't want to leave them back in Minnesota." He smiled. She then hugged him.
"Jon is talking to Kim right now about moving here." I told her.
"Who's idea was this?" She asked us.
"Mine." Jimmy smiled.
"I then went along with it. We convinced JB and then Jon!" I smiled.
"You two are amazing." She smiled at Jimmy and I.
"We know." Jimmy and I smiled. Suddenly Jon and Kim walked into the room.
"Guess who's moving to LA?" Jon smiled. We all cheered and clapped.
"We can go house hunting sometime this week!" Jess smiled. I then heard the doorbell ring and I stood up.
"It must be the pizza, I'll be back." I said. I quickly went to the door and opened it to find Alex instead of the pizzaman.
"Hey." He smiled at me.
"You aren't the pizzaman." I frowned.
"No I am not." He laughed.
"C'mon in." I smiled. I let him in and shut the door. He then followed me into the living room.
"You aren't the pizzaman." Jimmy groaned when he saw Alex.
"Same thing I said." I laughed.
"I take it you ordered pizza?" Alex laughed.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Aw, did you get Ariana a gift?" Jess smiled at him. I looked and saw that he had a gift bag in his hand.
"Yes, but this one isn't for her." He said. He then looked at me. "It's for you " He smiled.
"For me?" I raised my eyebrows and pointed to myself. "Are you trying to buy my trust back?" I frowned.
"Sort of." He shrugged and handed me the bag. "Just open it." He said. I opened the bag and saw what he got me. I smiled and laughed at him.
"That's a good one." I laughed.
"What is it?" Jess asked me. I held up the shirt he got me. It says 'D.A.D.D. Dad's Against Daughters Dating'. Everyone laughed at the shirt.
"Thank you Alex. I will proudly wear this shirt." I smiled at him.
"I saw it and instantly thought of you." He laughed. I then took off the t-shirt I was wearing and put the one he got me on.
"I think it suits me well." I smiled. "Ariana is so gonna hate this shirt." I laughed.
"Oh I know." He nodded and laughed.
"I think I should post a selfie on Instagram." I pulled out my Iphone and put it on the camera. "C'mon Alex get in this." I told him. We then took a selfie, I posted it and tagged him in it. In our selfie I was glaring at Alex, while he was smiling at the camera and pointing at my shirt.

The caption read, 'My daughter's boyfriend really knows what kind of shirt to buy me. Thanks @AlexQueenIsTheName.'
"Wow, I just randomly got three hundred more followers. Thanks." Alex laughed.
"Well that's what happens when you take a selfie Justin Timberlake." I laughed. "By the way you have a long Instagram name." I said.
"Yeah, I know." He nodded.
Oh crap! I forgot Jimmy, JB and I have to threaten him!
I then looked at Jimmy and JB. "You guys ready?" I asked them.
"I always am." He stood up from the couch and walked over to us.
"Let's do this." JB nodded and stood up.
"Justin." Jess warned me. Alex then started to look worried.
"Jess, it's okay." I reassured my wife. I then looked at Alex. "Okay listen up kid, if my daughter comes home with a hickey anywhere on her body, we will kill you." I told him.
"We will kidnap you, put you in my car, drive you out to the middle of nowhere, kill you, burn your body and scatter your ashes in the desert." JB warned him. Jimmy and I looked at JB.
"Damn JB." I said.
"What? To harsh?" He asked me.
"Nah man it's all good." I smiled.
"We're just surprised is all, considering it is your first time threatening him." Jimmy said.
"You guys don't have to worry about anything. It won't happen again and if it does I'll be waiting for you outside my apartment." Alex told us. All three of us stared at him, making him nervous. Suddenly the doorbell rung.
"Pizza!" Jimmy cheered loudly. He ran out of the living room and we all silently watched him. He then came back with the two pizza boxes and a slice of pizza in his mouth.
"Justin, remind me why you're best friend's with him." JB laughed.
"I don't even know anymore." I shook my head and laughed. Jimmy then finished chewing what he bit from his slice.
"C'mon man, you still love me." Jimmy smiled.
"Yeah, I still love ya." I smiled.
"Aw! Bromance!" Jess smiled. We both looked at Jess and she laughed.
"See Justin, this is why we can't hot tub together." Jimmy sighed, referring back to when I was on The Tonight Show during his first week of hosting.
"One time and then all this happens." I shook my head.
"You two hot tubbed together?" Alex asked us. Jimmy and I looked at each other, then back at Alex.
"Yes, yes we did." We both calmly said. I don't think Alex realizes that the hot tub thing is a joke from our interview. We are so going to use this to our advantage.
"It was back in 2004 at the SNL after party." JB laughed. Oh shit! No! No! No! Jimmy and I both looked at each other, I probably looked as shocked as he did.

"Timber!" I yelled, hopefully Ariana will hear me. We all then heard loud footsteps and then Ariana ran into the room. She was wearing only one shoe.
"I'm here!" She was out of breath. She then relaxed and smiled at Alex. "Hey cowboy." She said to him.
"Hey princess." He smiled at him. These two have weird nicknames for each other.
"You two need new nicknames." I told them. "Like princess and cowboy? Really?" I said.
"I like them." Jimmy smiled.
"Thanks Uncle Jimmy." She smiled at him and then looked at me."Is Alex being here the reason you yelled timber?" She asked me.
"No." I shook my head. "I actually needed you." I told her.
"What's timber?" Jimmy and Alex asked us.
"Nothing." We both answered.
"You guys always say that every time someone asks you. Why is that?" JB frowned.
"Timber!" Her and I both said. She then stared at me and sighed. I think she noticed my shirt.
"Who got you that shirt?" She asked me.
"Your wonderful boyfriend." I put my hand on Alex's shoulder and smiled at her.
"Really Alex?" She frowned.
"Hey! I saw it at the store and had to buy it for him!" Alex laughed. "I mean, look how good it looks on him." He pointed to me.
"I do look good." I nodded.
"You two I swear." She laughed and shook her head. "Are you ready to go?" She asked Alex.
"Yeah, but you do realize that you only have one shoe on right?" Alex laughed. She looked down at her foot that didn't have a shoe on it and sighed.
"This is what happens when you yell Timber!" She said to me.
"Hey, I can't help that I needed you." I said.
"I'll be back." She said. She then left the room to go get her other shoe.
"I'm watching you." I told Alex.
"Justin, he knows." Jess said to me.
"I'm just reminding him!" I said.
"Dad, if you threaten Alex one more time I'll kill you!" Ariana yelled from upstairs.
"Bring it on, Timberlake!" I yelled back.
"Oh it is so on, Timberlake!" She yelled back. We heard loud footsteps and then she came back to the living room wearing two shoes. "When I come back from dinner is when it'll be on." She told me.
"I'll be here waiting for you." I smirked at her.
"C'mon Alex. He might threaten you again and then I'll have to kill him." She told her boyfriend. Oh this is so tempting.
"Bye everyone." Alex smiled.
"Bye." They all smiled. The two then walked out of the living room and I heard the front door open.
"You break her heart I'll kill you!" I smirked when I yelled that.
"Be ready to die tonight!" Ariana yelled.
"Oh I am!" I yelled back. The door then shut and they left.
"What am I going to do with you, Justin?" Jess sighed.
"I'm surprised you haven't figured out what to do yet." I laughed.
"So you freaked out when JB mentioned that SNL after party, why is that?" Jess asked me. Jimmy and I quickly looked at each other.
"No reason." I answered her.
"Oh really?" She raised one of her eyebrows. I love when she does that.
"Really." I nodded.
"I'll probably know later, won't I?" She smiled.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"Don't crack under the pressure!" Jimmy told me. "Don't tell her!" He said.
"James Thomas, I will tell Nancy to ask you too. We all know you will so tell her the second she asks!" Jess said to my best friend.
"Whatever, Mom." He groaned. Everyone laughed and Jimmy looked at the pizza. "Can we go eat?" He smiled.
"Yeah, c'mon." I laughed. Everyone laughed and went into the kitchen.
"Ariana gets a fancy meal, while we're stuck with pizza." Jess laughed.
"It's jacked up, my man!" Jimmy said.
"C'mon, my man." I said ,doing my impersonation of Jimmy. Everyone except for Jimmy was laughing.
"Not cool, man." He shook his head.
"Whatever, eat your pizza." I told him.
"I will." He smiled. I then put a couple slices of pizza on my plate and we all sat at the table in the kitchen and ate.
*Ariana's POV*
"Your family is crazy." Alex laughed.
"I know." I laughed. "Sorry about my Dad and Uncles." I apologized.
"No, it's okay. I'm used to it now." He said.
"They're crazy, remind me to kill them when I get home." I laughed.
"Nah don't kill them, they're just trying to protect you. I'll probably end up doing the same thing one day when we have a daughter." He said. I smiled at him.
"We?" I smiled at him.
"Yes, we." He smiled at me.
"I love you so much." I kissed his cheek. I would've kissed him on the lips, but sadly he's driving. Safety first, right?
"I love you more." He told me.
Tonight is going to be amazing.

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
