--- Leah ---
"Did you forget about me?"
Leah jumped out of the water upon hearing Frances' voice.
She expected something akin to fury from her, but on her face was an expression unlike anything she'd seen on her before.
Frances seemed happy......?
She seemed to be glowing with pride as she smiled at them, and although Lean may have been biased, it seemed like she was smiling mostly at her.
"I am proud of all of you. Truly. You may have only been here for a day, but I didn't really want to see you all die, so I am glad that you all figured it out." she said.
"There will be a special revel in the evening today, and as our guests you are all invited to it."
"We also have a special guest," and as Alice stepped front from behind Frances, she continued. "Please welcome Alice Rohana as our newest guest. There was a void after Loretta's departure and I'm sure Alice will be capable of filling it."
"I will leave you to rest and catch up. We'll done, and be nice to each other."
Frances spoke like a mother instructing her children, and said that last part with a pointed glance towards Leah and Nicholas.
After she left, a few butlers came in with towels and a bottle of champagne, but all the adrenaline that had made them all jump into the fountain fully clothed had faded away, leaving them cold and tired.
Leah hadn't realized how stressed she had been to find the anitidote. Her muscles were stiff and she was looking forward to a long hot shower back in her room.
Toweling her wet blonde hair, she moved towards the Manor, only to be blocked by the one and only, Alice.

"We need to talk Leah."
Feeling fury build up in her, she said,"You're damn right, we need to talk. But not now. I have neither the patience nor desire to endure another meaningless conversation with you Alice.",side stepping her and walking into the Manor.
She was on her way to the stairwell when she froze in her tracks to a voice in her ear.
Alice had followed her, and now whispered in her ear, in her too-sweet voice, "Well then, I could always just talk to Nicholas. Altough I'm not sure how he'd like that."
Turning around slowly, Leah plastered on a fake smile and said, "Fine then, meet me in the backyard in 30 minutes. We have a score to settle."
With that she walked away, sighing.
This was going to be a long day.

Snereloa Rebirth
In the darkest shining void, an ethereal being holding a scepter floats toward a nebula made up of the souls of the dead from all realms awaiting to be reutilized into the cycle. They aren't a deity of death, but one tracking an anomaly that can't be processed and completely wiped clean as they enjoy calling it. A fresh start, without shackles or remnants of what once was. Life is a price paid by all living beings, but like any transaction, we give it something in exchange for our memories, our feelings, our emotions, our past, and future, our ambitions and our dreams. Those all fuel the fire of creation, but so do grief, and pain. Every moment of suffering is the price, every living moment is paid at our death. Sometimes some have so much piled up that their soul and heart end up damaged. Be it loss of trust or being unable to truly live their life, those shackles are like an anchor that keeps the soul stable when on the verge of breaking apart, keeping it together at an immense price. Those unlucky souls are forced to be put into another life indebted, in the unlikely possibility of their defect healing themself in that new life. Their memories aren't intact after all—everything has a price—and that pain and fear are what they carry, while their partial amnesia is their shackle. This is the story of one such soul, of a girl sent into a world of legend and novel of fantasy, dragons and magic. A world away from what she knew, in which she will hopefully heal, be happy, and survive its side of darkness. Ps: my english is self learnt that mean typo and some other issue will happen but it shouldnt affect the sense of the story if u have any correction u would want me to do or some thing arent clear please tell me

This Book
The author, Edward Faust is aware that “This Book” does not really describe what this book is about. We shall pretend that it is a meta artistic choice but the reality is that Mr. Faust is bad at coming up with titles, and since starting This Book back in 2015 as a NaNoWriMo project he could never come up with a good one. This Book’s genre is YA Supernatural, but that’s only as helpful as any genre tag (IE: not very) so I shall describe it further. This Book is primarily about reincarnation, but it also features mythical creatures such as angels (known here as Seraphs), demons, Byzantines, as well as homeschoolers. Two mythical homeschoolers in fact make up the main characters of this work, a pair of siblings named Grayson and Kish. They live in metro Atlanta in the year 2019 AD with their Aunt. On one particular day they are plunged into a rabbit hole of spiritual and metaphysical politics by the arrival of a mysterious one-eyed Green haired woman and strange humanoid creatures into their lives. That is where the story begins. Yes. This book can also be found at https://thisbook.home.blog/
