"please state your name and why you're in here."
"hi, i'm logan sanders and i like to sleep in and binge watch the office reruns." logan said, smiling at the instructure. she sighed and told him to be serious. "i'm logan and im an alcoholic." logan admitted, looking down.
"hi logan. who is next?"
"hi, i'm roman wright, and i'm recorvering from ptsd from the war." a man, in a disney shirt and grey sweatpants, said. a man in a purple hood mumbled 'thanks for your service'. the woman repeated what she said to logan but changing to name to roman now.
"hi, i'm patton strokes, and i have major anger issues." she repeated it again and more people went, finally, they were at the guy who had been intresting logan the whole time.
"hello emily, who is next?" the man just sat there, not saying nything, looking at his feet. valerie put her hand on his shoulder, to encourage him but he just shyed away and glared at her. "everyone, this is virgil. he has major anxiety and minor depression. so for the first activity, we will be choosing partners, and discussing their personal troubles, and offering as much advice as possible. please choose your partner."
roman got with patton, emily got with terrence, jen got with amy and xavier got with zoe, leaving logan and virgil as partners. logan silently cheered, wanting to know more about this mystery man. he seemed to be having a silent argument with valerie. he sat there, waiting for them to be done until he approached. he pulled out his phone and texted his brother thomas, thanking him for convincing him to go to the therapy group when he heard someone sit next to him. he pocketed his phone. "hello, i'm logan.."

"virgil." he mumbled, crossing his arms, "so your an alcoholic? why don't you just.. stop?" logan laughed and shook his head, smirking.
"i wish it was that simple. i just- the taste is burning but it's the only thing i can feel ever since he left me." logan shook his head. "i know, that's very pathetic, but i just. he was like a drug to me."
"please, that's far from pathetic. i understand why that would happen. find something else to make you feel, maybe it's music, maybe it's helping at a shelter, but there is something and or someone out there that can help you feel again. so throw away the alcohol and go search for it. you'll find it." virgil said, biting his nails afterwards.
"thanks, that can actually work.. so what about you, is there a reason you're anxious and sad?" virgil shrugged putting his hand down.
"not really, i mean, my parents were decent people, and my friends always cared but i've just always felt alone? i don't know.. and like i just get random panic attacks for no reason and it's just so weird."
logan nodded, "well, this all can just be a chemical imbalance, which is what happens when you're depressed for no reason, or many other reasons. if you have a irregular sleeping patern, ect. and for the anxiety it's quite common, so just find people who you can relate to and surround yourself by happiness and acknowledge the issue at hand, accept it, and have a mind set that you will get better." logan said, turning towards virgil and giving him a reasuring smile.
"thanks... are you like a doctor or something? how do you know all this stuff?"
"math teacher, actually. i just like learning and studing different things. what about you, what is your profession?"

virgil scoffed, "great, now you just maade my job sound silly." he slumped in his chair, "i'm an artist, painting is my specialty."
"that isn't silly, art takes time, patience, and even knowledge. it's a very creative job, and i wish i had the skills to make art." logan said honestly. the two continued to talk for the rest of the time, exchanging numbers when they said goodbye. logan waited in the warm sunlight for his brother to come pick him up.
and for the first time in a while, logan felt something other than sadness or artificial happiness. he truly felt happy. he was staring up at the sky smiling. a car beeped and he looked down, seeing his brother parked in front of him. "hey, little bro, how was the group?"
logan smiled and looked down at his feet, thinking about virgil. "amazing."

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
