Chapter 2
Brooke's POV :
For the next couple weeks, Brandon has been leaving for work earlier and coming home later than he did before. It's starting to get me worried. What if he, like, is kidnapping people and killing them like in The Call.
Brandon being a murderer would just ruin my family's life. But I know that can't be why he's not coming home. It has to be for something else. Me being me, I called him out on it. I'm leaning against the wall when he flings his brief case onto the couch.
"It's 11:45. Where've ya been all this time?" I ask with an edge on my voice. Brandon walks over to me.
"I really don't feel comfortable without telling the girls at the same time. Could ya just wait until tomorrow morning?"
"Fine. I will. But I don't feel comfortable with you in my bed with me. You can sleep on the couch." I snap before turning on my heel and quietly stomping upstairs. That night my bed felt empty.
It's been feeling this way since I keep falling asleep in here without Brandon. I feel like he's keeping a secret from me. But you never know what's going on inside another person's mind
....
With Ella sitting at the table eating her breakfast and Ali on my hip, I stare at Brandon's face.
"We're all here. Are you ready to tell me?" I snap. He sighs and a look of guilt flashes through his face. It goes as quickly as it came.
"Yes. The reason I've been gone so long is because I'm planning us to go on a trip to Disney World. I'm having a convention down there for work and I thought we could have a nice vacation." He says. Ella shoots out of her chair.

"Disney?! When do we leave, when do we leave, when do we leave?" She speeds around the kitchen like a race car.
"In a couple days," Brandon responds.
"So you better get packing." He smirks at me. Ella loves packing so it'll be a hassle to get her to go to school. I roll my eyes at him before swinging Ella onto my other hip.
"Why don't we start packing when we come home from school?" I ask her.
"Then I can help you." She nods like crazy and wiggles out of my grasp.
"Lets go so I can come home and pack!" She says, standing by the door with her hands on her hips. I laugh and get her lunch before saying goodbye to Brandon, then pulling out of our driveway in my Honda Odyssey.
...
I load Ella's little suitcase that I ended up packing for her. She can't pack even though she loves doing it. There was a box of frozen Eggo waffles, my makeup bag, and some of Ali's clothes in her bag.
"You sure you can't come down today?" I ask Brandon. He's a lawyer—probably the best I know— and has a couple cases to do before he comes down.
"I only have four more cases then I'll be down, I promise." I scowl at the ground then sigh.
"Can you help me get the girls?" I ask him.
He nods and walks up the steps to our porch. I carry Ali to the car and Brandon carries Ella. They're both still sleeping since the sun hasn't risen yet. It takes maybe three or four hours to get to Orlando and I want as much peace and quiet as I can. Ella will be gabbing about how excited she is to see the princesses and Ali will be waking up around seven a.m. I start the engine and roll down my window.

"Drive safe." Says Brandon.
"I will." I assure him then peck him on the lips. I drive away with him standing at the driveway.

This book focuses more on guilds, economy, and crafting than on adventure and epic conspiracies like the other book. ***************************** Sorry about the formating on all the system messages. The first site I had this posted on doesn't have as good of formating tools, so everything is just in brakets. I'll try to pretty everything up as time goes on.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

Reminiscence
My website: https://putiancom.wordpress.com This is a short story about revenge or something along the lines. (This is my first story ever written so please go ham at criticising my work.) Death. It is a form of punishment or torture. And can be also be a form of salvation. Ultimately, it forms different perspectives depending on the beholder itself and on how the beholder take it as. Life. A point in time where finding your purpose. Purpose, of life itself and experience its flow, either epiphany or hell. Death. It is an end. A point of no return. It also makes the beholder feel free, breaking away from the chain of life. It makes the beholder recollect and reflect when crossing the boundary between life and death. Boundaries. A place where a path will ultimately, be chosen with or without consideration in the decision, free. . . . A place where recounting life, take it as a feeling. The joys and sorrow accumulated, playing back, making the beholder reexperience life. "Reminiscing."
