"Lily dear, why do you look so sad?" Her father asked when seeing her reflection through the rierview mirror. The little family currently in the car as their driver drove them off to their located destination.
"She's probably missing her boyfriend or something." Her older brother replies, earning a soft nudge from his sister.
"No I'm not sad about that." She replies as he dramatically gasps.
"Huh! So you don't actually miss Renjun!?! I'm telling." He teases her as he then proceeded to take his phone out.
"Noo I didn't mean it like that!! Hao!" Lily whines, trying to take his phone out of his hold. All their father could do was smile at his kids in awe.
"I'm just upset that we're eating at an expensive restaurant, again." She says when giving up from trying to take the phone away from her brother.
"The food is good though." Minghao stated.
"I don't care if it tastes good or not." She retorts as she stares out the window.
"Don't be sad Lily, we'll go eat out at a place of your choice next time ok?" Said her father as this immediately made her smile a little.
Her brother sighs.
"You'd probably pick out a place to eat hotpot like usual."
"You got a problem with that?" She asked him coldly. Him seeing her expression quickly made him smile apologetically.
"Hahaha... no problem at all."
--- ☁️
"Minghao when are you going back to the States again?" Their father asks once the food has arrived. The family having small talk as they ate.
"At the end of the month, why'd you ask dad?" He replied whilst taking a sip of his drink.
"I just wanted to ask cause I'll be going on a business trip for the next two weeks and I was wondering if you'd still be here to take care of Lily and keep her company whilst I'm gone."

"Ya why are you leaving?" Lily asks in sorrow.
"It's a business trip dear. And I also have to go back to China to check up on grandma and grandpa." Her father reasons as he caresses the back of his daughters head.
Lily only frowning as she fiddles with her fork.
"Oh I wouldn't mind taking care of Lily. Besides, aren't you happy that you get to spend a lot of time with me! And Renjun too I guess... he's probably going to come over frequently." Her brother tried to cheer her up. I guess it worked a bit since the sides if her lips slowly tugged upwards.
"I'll make sure to bring you two a gift when I come back. I'll get you the new book that you've been wanting to have your hands on." Said their father as Lily immediately cheered up.
"That doesn't sound bad hehe." The girl smiling brightly now.
Minghao could only throw her a weirded out look.
"Eww my sister is such a nerd. She gets happy over getting a book!!" He screeches as Lily rolls her eyes at him.
"?" Someone called her brothers name out. This catching the attention of the little family as they looked towards the source of the voice. When Lily seeing the face of the person, her face drops as it went pale.
Sunwoo. Her ex that she hasn't seen in two years.
"O-oh Sunwoo, long time no see?' Her brother chuckles awkwardly as he eyes his sister to see if she was fine. Holding her hands to calm her down.
"It's been a while hasn't it? Ah is that Lily besides you, she looks really different. I didn't notice that it was her at first." The boy smiling. That smile making Lily furious as she clutches her skirt in rage.

"I'm gonna go out to take a walk." Lily standing up before she ran out of the restaurant.
"Lily!" Her father exclaimed. Trying to call her back because he knew that when she meant by 'going out for a walk' it usually means that she was going to run away to who knows where to be alone for some time.
bzzt..!
Minghao raising a brow up as he takes his phone out of his pocket when his phone was ringing. Indicating that someone was calling him.

He hung up before letting out a sigh. Looking over at Sunwoo as the lad showed him an apologetic smile before bringing the boy closer to him.
"Heyy how about we talk for a bit and you explain to me why you decided to break up with my sister and ghosted her for two years, how does that sound?"
...
The sound of the waves rising helped bring Lily to peace. She pulled her knees closer to her chest as she stares off into a distant. Sitting there as she started to question her life. Why'd he decide to finally come back without a reason? It doesn't make sense, nor does it even matter anymore at this point.
"Lily." Her name being called out, snapped her out of her initiative thoughts.
Looking behind to see a figure standing a far distance away from her. She struggled to see who the person was, due to them covering their face with a cap. But his figure was easily able to be identified.
She stood up before going over to the person. The figure just standing there as they watched her run. Smiling, knowing that she was safe.
Lily stopped at her trace when she was standing in front of the person. Looking into their eyes before she took his cap off. Revealing his short hair and the joyous look on his face.
"Renjun.."
"Surprise, I'm back!" He cheers, trying to brighten up her mood. Lily not being able to say anything. The girl pulling him into a hug as a response. He was startled at first to say the least, but nonetheless returned her the hug.
"Minghao-ge told me about everything. So no need to be sad ok? I'm right here for you." Renjun reassures her as he caresses the back of her head. Lily only nodding.
"Hey Injun, is it very weird of me to say that I really love you a lot?" Her words catching him by surprise. The smile on his face gradually growing wider.
"No, it's not weird of you at all."

‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

8 188Rifts in the Weave
Jes is a normal twenty-something American dealing with a 2020 that just keeps getting worse. She's driving home for the latest in that series of awful events when she runs headlong into something unexpected. Nearly 400 years ago, the continent of Charan was embroiled in a terrible war. To stop the war, its inhabitants literally tore a hole in the fabric that holds their world together. The Weave, the magical lines of reality that shape every part of Charan, were torn by great magics. Those magics left a hole in the weave that has since consumed nearly a third of the continent, creating a vast and magicless Outalnds. The Wild Weaves at the edges of the Outlands are a dangerous place. Archmagi, pushed to the edge by a pursuing army, enter the Wild Weaves and seek to repair the very fabric of reality. Howard and Clark Franklin, returning soldiers from the Civil War, come back to a home that isn't quite theirs anymore. Restless, they depart again for the West, a new frontier. They get more than they bargained for when one moment they're crossing the prairie and the next they're stepping into a whole new world. As the unraveling edges of reality fray, two worlds may never be the same. >
8 125Tironia
Reincarnated on the world of Tironia, I find myself naked and alone. Apart from the fact that I've been linked with a less than helpful companion, through my own doing no less. All I want is a kick-ass name and some super-sweet magic. "Is that too much to ask for?" Apparently so. All I got, was a schizophrenic sidekick and a set of bad jokes. "Is it time to start shitting my pants yet?" Note: If you enjoy my first novel, please leave a rating or a comment. Constructive criticism is also appreciated. As of now Tironia is complete. I need to edit the chapters however as there are many, many mistakes. Once that's complete, I will begin work on Erins next adventure: Dungeon Igo. Current Chapter Rewritten: 1
