《Lasted • Tuck Everlasting》The Wonders
Advertisement
The Tucks all sat at the kitchen table as Kerena slept upstairs. They all were trying to think of what to do with the young girl. "I say we just throw her in the grand canyon," Jesse suggested as his dog companion barked with excitement.
"Jesse, if you suggest throwing someone into the grand canyon one more time I am kicking you out of this house." Mae groaned as she held her head in her hands. Angus opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it upon forgetting what he was going to say. "Miles, any ideas?" Mae asked in a tired voice as she rubbed one of her eyelids and yawned.
Miles thought for a moment while Charlie tugged at the hem of her green sweater. "Charlie and I were talking to her for a while, and she didn't seem all too thrilled about having to go and meet her parents again," Miles informed as Charlie's eyes shot up and a smirk crossed over her face. She quickly got up from the table and walked upstairs to the attic so she could wake up Kerena. The family looked confused as Miles shook his head. "She had an idea. Charlie will be back soon with some weird theory."
Upstairs, Kerena was braiding her hair into small strands as the door handle started to wiggle. She quickly threw her body back onto the small bed as she pretended to sleep. Charlie poked her head in through the door and saw what appeared to be a sleeping tween. The "young" woman smiled as she quietly walked over to where Kerena's backpack was. It had a pair of fresh clothes, personal belongings, a Tamagachi hanging from a pair of keys with an ID attached to a lanyard, twenty-dollars, some toiletries, and finally a phone with a portable charger.

Charlie sneakily stuck her head into the lanyard and looked for any information on where Kerena could live. After a few minutes of searching, she found an address. Perfect. Charlie hurried out of the room and Kerena woke up again to see what she had done, but quickly just ignored It and went to sleep.
The Tucks had all gone to sleep, but Charlie stayed up very late researching all she could on the girl. Kerena Merrit. Mother, Lillian Merrit. Father, Travis Merrit. Address, 1853 Piney Path in Treegap. A seventh-grader at Winston Preparatory School. Charlie triumphantly threw her hands in the air as she turned off her phone and put it next to her on a bedside table. "What did you do this time?" Miles tiredly asked as Charlie kissed the tip of his nose.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Charlie smiled as she yawned and snuggled into her pillow. The next morning came as everyone was downstairs eating pancakes. Although, Charlie was now rushing down the stairs at noon with an urgent message for the family. "Where is Kerena?" She asked frantically.
Angus and Jesse made eye-contact as they looked at Mae, who then looked at Miles. "I thought she was upstairs sleeping still?" Miles asked as he tensed his body a bit as syrup dripped down his chin. Charlie shook her head as the family went into full panic mode. "Okay, everyone needs to calm down," Jesse announced although no one had heard him. He sighed as he grabbed the old shotgun off the wall and shot a bullet into the ceiling which caused the room to quickly fall silent. "Miles, Charlie, you two go look for her in town. I'll go look in the woods. Ma and Pa, stay here in case she comes back." Jesse assigned as everyone nodded and split into different directions.

"Okay, so where to first?" Miles asked as Charlie quickly typed Kerena's address into the couple's GPS. The automated woman started speaking directions as Miles shrugged and started the car, driving off into town. Little did every know was that Kerena was sat in a tree trying to figure out this family's strange secrets. She knew they were immortal, but what else are they hiding?

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
