POV Nico
~•~•~•~
It's been 2 weeks. I don't know if I should stay here anymore, I feel like something bad will happen if I don't go soon. So I re-pack my bag, and then I start thinking.
Where will I go? Someone probably notified Hazel, so I can't go to camp Jupiter... maybe Italy? I have no idea. I think I'll just travel through America for a while, amuse myself. Yeah, probably that.
I walk to my dad's throne room to say goodbye when I notice he's talking to one of his guards. I hide in the back until they finish talking.
"Father, I am going to go somewhere else now. I feel like someone might find me here, and I should get out some more." I say.
"Don't shadow travel too much" Hades says as if warning me to wear a helmet when I ride a bike (after we nod to each other and I begin walking to the door). I start walking to the exit and decide to sit next to the river Cocytus, thinking.
I don't think I should stay in camp anymore. Maybe, one day, after I stop having this stupid crush, I might come and talk to Will about this, but I don't intend on staying.
But where Will I go? I can't just wander around for years. We have the old house in Italy, maybe I could go there if I'm tired of traveling. I decide that's what I'll do and start walking.
But what about Percy? Annabeth? Jason? Hazel? Reyna? They all care. My heart replies. They'll be fine. Me leaving isn't going to ruin their lives. Who knows, they might also be better. I think and decide that's how I'll leave it. I get up and start walking.
Then, I hear a scream. I run to that direction and see a bunch of spirits surrounding something. I vaporize them all before they can even react, I want to see what was going on.

And I see Will, lying on the ground. He's in the fetal position, legs tucked in and he stands up slowly, shaking off the dust and saying "Thank you for saving me, ugh..." he says and turns silent when he sees it's me.
He stares at me for a split second and I stare back, completely shocked. Why is he here? Did he come for me? "Nico, just-" he says but I cut him off by running away into a shadow, not even letting him say anything, and letting it consume me. I might confront him about it sometime, but not now. I'm not ready. Just seeing him here is enough to let my butterflies burst out.
I heard him yelling sentence behind me, trying to talk, but I'm simply not ready for this yet.
So I leave. To where? I have absolutely no idea.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Fate - Destiny
"This life is just a mere competition of power and authority. They will use that for you - to manipulate you... to enslave yourself in fear and terror - and that's why... I'll give them the taste of their own medicine." That was the most painful realization of the boy who used to be deterministic and tries his best just to prove himself to others that he isn't the boy they think he is. Meet Fate, a boy who had potential but lost it all. The boy who struggles to do his best just to prove himself to everyone, slowly realized a painful truth from the Teran Government - a truth so painful that it snapped him and slowly took his former self. As time pass, as he gain experience, and as he grow older, the fire of determination from his heart slowly faded to the point that he cannot even know who he really is. Fate only knew one thing, though... And it is to end the cycle of fear and manipulation...

In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category.

The 48 Laws of Power in Practice
Discover how power works in the world, through true stories and real-world applications. In the game of power, we all play - as either conscious or unconscious players. So we can't afford not to know the rules. The ** chapters have the most outrageous content. In each chapter, I will be summarizing one of the laws and how it can be applied to current events and pop culture. Some of you have told me the stories are what you enjoy the most. They are real, raw, and anonymous so that others may learn from my mistakes. There will be cringe-worthy stories of self-sabotage, but perhaps also some unlikely triumphs. Some of the details are changed to protect the innocent, (or perhaps guilty). "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene illustrates truths about power, through philosophy and lessons from three thousand years of history, which still hold true today. There is a lot to learn from each chapter. I encourage you to go on this journey with me by reflecting on how each law might apply to you. Together, may we learn from the past and take control of the future.
