My flight landed and I was in an uber headed for my hotel. It was 10am here, I hadn't gotten much sleep on the flight so I was exhausted. Christmas with Ro was great, I even got the courage to call my parents, it went well. Now I talk with my mom every other day.
Ro was still in New York, I was here to finally move on. I had been talking about this with my therapist for the last 4 sessions, I finally worked up the guts to do this, my final step in moving on from what happened on that island. Tom was having a New Years banquet and I was attending, my ticket was under Ro's name and her boss got me in as a favor. All I needed to do was see him, explain my feelings and let go of them after. Then, I never had to see or think of Tom again.
New imessage from Tom
Good morning, Andy. I miss you. I hope you're doing okay. I really do. Have a good day, I know you deserve it and everything. Xx.
I rolled my eyes and closed my phone, taking a deep breath and counting to 10. It was an exercise that my therapist and I came up with to help with my anxiety. I was no longer on medication, which made feel better but sleeping was hard again. She told me that if I needed to, I could take one everyday if needed while on this trip. They were ready to go in my purse.
"Thank you so much." I tipped the uber driver and got out, he helped with my luggage and I walked inside the hotel with my bags. I checked in, made it to my hotel room and hit the bed. I never slept so good in my life. Not one dream, no nightmare, just pure blissful sleep. I woke up around 3am, I opened the curtains to see the small city. I pulled out my phone and took a picture to add to my story. Captioned: Moving on and moving up.

I was posting regularly again, which was nice, apart from the thousands of people that were still trying to get into my business. As for work.. I was an online writer, ghost writing for people and writing papers for students. It was decent money, enough to hold me up and I saved enough to take this trip. I originally started saving to pay off my medical bills but by the time I was ready to make my first payment.. all of them were paid off. It wasn't hard to guess who did that.
I was grateful, he definitely had the money to spare and it made things a lot less stressful for me. Maybe that was one of Tom's ways of moving on or making amends.

"She's here, mate. In the damn UK!" I was facetiming with Harrison, he was away on holiday. "What do I do?"
"Have you called her? Or texted? Asked to see her?"
"No.."
"Well, fuck. There's your problem, mate."
"I don't know what I would say. What do I even say? She hates me, she probably won't even answer anyway. She never does."
"There's no point in not trying."

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic. An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel? Adventures? Right this way! A Grand quest? Nah. Friends and loot? Heck yes! Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food. Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her. Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move. Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws. The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there! I’m going to be posting M-W-F I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Arca Archa

It permanently connected Earth with Arca Archa, the mythical otherworld where the basis of all our myths, legends, and folklore once stemmed from.

As if that was not already enough, in the aftermath of this incident, brand new and never before seen rift events began to spring up all over the world. These rifts would oftentime connect to the many dangerous and hazardous locations of Arca Archa, rife with perils that threatened the everyday peace of society. This led to the united nations of the world's adaptation of the guild system of the Arcanians and the subsequent immigration of their people in an effort to combat, mitigate, and control these events. Now, over two decades later, Edmond lives alone in this post rift era where he has to regularly deal with the consequences and fallout of these two worlds now intertwined.
