Meredith was laying next to Carolyn who was sound asleep, making sure she did what Derek was supposed to do. Give her company and make sure she would be okay if she would start vomiting
"Mer?" Derek's voice was heard in the room while the door opened a bit
"I'm here" Meredith whispered back
"Thanks" Derek sighed
Meredith nodded, knowing he referred to letting him sleep while she watched his mom "How are the kids?" She asked as she walked outside of the room, leaving the door open a bit so they could hear if Carolyn woke up
"Ellis woke me up with her crying-" Derek started but Meredith's frown interrupted him "She's okay now. I gave her the sleep meds to make sure she would be well rested" Derek said and Meredith nodded her head in response
"What time is it?" Meredith asked
"4:30 am.."
"Oh-" She muttered
"Go to bed, I'll watch mom" Derek offered
"Are you sure? I can stay here, I'm not that tired.." She insisted
"I'm sure, Mer. I got a lot of sleep and you haven't had any in the past two days"
Meredith nodded and kissed Derek's lips as her hand braced his neck "I love you, come get me if you're tired" She whispered
"I will. I love you too but now go to bed" He whispered before he entered his mom's room again
Meredith nodded and took off to their bedroom, seeing Ellis asleep on the big bed while Bailey was asleep on the small bed in the corner
She crawled underneath the blankets and cuddled close to her daughter who seemed to be sleeping peacefully
"Goodnight, babies" Meredith whispered to both her kids and let her eyes shut but she couldn't sleep. She was thinking about Derek and Carolyn and the others. She was thinking about how fuzzy Ellis was, hoping she wouldn't have a bad day during their staying and then finally, when sunshine was rising, she fell asleep

"Ellis, let your mom sleep" Meredith could hear Derek's voice
"M- Ma.." Ellis started to cry out "M..Maa"
Meredith groggily opened her eyes and saw her daughter stumbling towards the bed
"Hi" Meredith smiled as she saw her husband smile at her but she winced as Ellis jumped on top of her
"M-omm-mm-y Ellis cried out
"Hey, what's wrong, bug?" Meredith asked
"I'll go check on Bails" Derek said before leaving the room
"N-naa" Ellis moaned
"Nana's doing a lot better. Do you wanna check on her?" Meredith asked
Ellis eagerly nodded her head
"Let's get your out of your aids fist" Meredith said and helped Ellis out of them as the little girl kept yawning
"You didn't sleep a lot, heh?"
Ellis shook her head and Meredith grabbed her hand "But be quiet so we don't wake the others up" Meredith said and the two of them headed to Carolyn's room
"Mom? Can Ellie and I come in?" Meredith asked as she saw her mother in law sitting up, resting her back against the headboard
"Of course" Carolyn smiled and Kathleen left the room
"N-anaa" Ellis smiled and gently climbed on top of the bed
"Careful" Meredith helped Ellis
"Hey, Ellie! I missed you" Carolyn smiled
"N-anaa sick?" Ellis quietly asked
"Yeah I'm a bit sick, that's why I'm in bed. I don't feel well" Carolyn explained
"N-ana kay?"
"I'll be okay, sweetheart" Carolyn said and send a frown to Meredith
Ellis rested her head on the pillow and cuddled closer against her grandmother
"I'm sorry it's been so long since we came over" Meredith sighed "We've been so busy.. Zola leaving, Bailey that's almost leaving too and the care of Ellis that's been taking its toll" She started to explain
"Hey, dear. It's okay" Carolyn smiled and patted the bed so Meredith would join her
Meredith crawled in next to Ellis "We missed you, mom" Meredith smiled
"I missed you too" Carolyn smiled back before closing her eyes

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
