octavia groaned as she woke up in the middle of the night. she sighed as she rolled over and grabbed her phone. it was 4:23. she stepped out of bed, grabbing one of sebastian's hoodies and a pair of shorts. she wrote a small note and placed it on sebastian's forehead. she slipped on her slides and grabbed her phone and room key as she left the room. she closed the door quietly as she walked passed lizzie and scarlett's room. she walked down a little more as she walked passed anthony and chris's room. she pressed the elevator button as the door opened. she pressed lobby as the doors slowly shut.
"wait!"
a hand was stuck through the closing doors, stopping it from closing. the door opened as a boy stepped in. he had brown hair and chocolate eyes to match. he was about 5'8. octavia considered that tall, she only being 5'3. he was in a hoodie and shorts. octavia's shorts were covered by sebastian's hoodie. he looked at her, her realizing her pants weren't visible.
"i'm wearing pants, don't worry." she said as she slightly lifted her sweatshirt, her nike's showing, aswell as a small scar. he started at it for a second as he looked back up at her, chuckling.
"don't worry about it, sorry if i startled you." he said, his british accent shocking her. he chuckled at her reaction. she stuck her hands in the sweatshirt pockets.
"it's alright. what's your name?" asked octavia.
"my names thomas, tom for short." said tom. octavia smiled as she stuck her hand out out for him to shake. he smiled as he stuck his hand into hers, shaking it.
"i'm octavia." she said, that name seeming familiar to him. he shook it off as they continued to talk.

"where are you heading at 4 in the morning?" asked tom as the elevator opened. the two walked out and left the hotel, sitting outside.
"wasn't able to sleep, you?" asked octavia as she sat criss cross on the grass.
"me as well, i just came in from london because my flight kept getting delayed so i'm pretty jet lagged." said tom. octavia nodded as the sun was slowly coming up.
"how old are you thomas?" asked octavia. he chuckled lightly, laying back. she followed his actions.
"i'm 19, 20 on june first. you?"
"i'm turning 18 on july 4th." tom nodded as he sat up, running his fingers through his hair.
"i heard there was a open field not to far from here where we could see the sunrise." said tom. octavia looked at him, as if he was serious.
"me? see a sunrise with a stranger?" said octavia. he smirked at her, standing up over her.
"we aren't strangers anymore, are we octavia?" asked tom, his accent intoxicating to her. she sighed.
"fine, but don't kidnap me thomas." she stuck her hands out for him to grab, a small sensation going up their arms as he pulled her up.

octavia and tom walked back to the hotel, getting to know each other more.
"why are you in atlanta?" asked octavia as she pressed the up button on the elevator. she looked at him as he kept looking straight.
"i'm filming a movie." he said. the elevator door opened as the two stepped inside, pressing the their floor number. she smiled at him as she elbowed his side.

"well look at you mr. big shot." said octavia as two laughed. he then elbowed her side.
"why are you here in atlanta?" asked tom, assuming she didn't live here cause she was staying in a hotel.
"i'm here with my brother for his job, he said i could tag along." she said, not sure she should tell him who her brother is and what he does. tom nodded, not wanting to bother her with any more questions. the doors opened on their floor as the two stepped out. they stood infront of each other as octavia got her room key ready.
"i enjoyed watching the sunrise with you, tom." said octavia, smiling. he smiled back at her.
"i enjoyed watching the sunrise with you too, octavia." said tom. she rocked back and forth on her heels, wondering what to say next.
"i should get back to my room, my brother is probably worried." said octavia, tom nodded.
"yea, and i should try to get some more sleep
before 7." the two chuckled.
"i'll see you around octavia." said tom as he brought her into a hug. shocked, she hugged back, the vanilla and mint scent of his hoodie was calming.
"see you later tom." said octavia as she walked towards her room, tom watching. she got pretty far down the hall as he turned around and walked towards his room. octavia opened the door to see sebastian, sleeping like a baby. she chuckled as she removed the hoodie and placed it back where she found it. she took off her pants as she only slept in a sports bra and her underwear. she pulled the covers over her small body as she fell asleep, with tom on her mind.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
