《The Major's Mate》Chapter fithteen
Advertisement
Here we are. Mason's first birthday. I had went to visit the family the day before and today we was having a barbeque at the rez. Mason was the size of a three year old. Charlie was going to be there but I had a cover story thanks to Carlisle. I smiled as Mason played with the wolves' and Jacob talked with Bella. I set the plate of hotdogs and burger meat on the picnic table. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked over and saw Charlie and Billy.
"He's getting big." Charlie said. "He's one right?"
"Yeah but because of his medical condition he grows quicker." I smiled.
"Medical condition?" Billy asked confused.
"Acromegaly. It's a condition where body tissue and bones grow quicker. Doctors calculated it and he's the size of a three year old. But yes. He's one." Charlie nodded and Billy smiled. He knew the truth but he was just happy I was able to convince Charlie.
"Bella said you knocked some scents into the boys a couple months ago." I nodded as I saw Sue pull up with Leah and Seth. Leah got out and ran for Mason. Seth just got out and helped his mum with the food.
"Need a hand?" Charlie asked, walking over. Jasper walked around, watching Mason to make sure he's okay. Sam stood with Emily and the other imprints with there imprinter. I smiled as Leah played tag with Mason. I felt my phone go off and I pulled it out.
-Give Mason a big hug from Uncle Edward. Hope he has a great birthday.-
I sigh as I turn around adn saw Bella. Did she see the text?
"You okay?" She nodded and gave a small smile. Yeah she saw it.

"I thought you didn't have a way of contacting him?" She said.
"I didn't. But Alice gave me his number." I said.
"Could I call him-"
"No Bella." She frowned and I sighed. "You're doing well."
"Just a minute." I shook my head and she walked away. I sighed as two arms wrapped around me.
"You did the right thing." I nodded and looked down at my phone.
"I'll be back soon. Make sure Mason doesn't use his gift. Charlies here." Jasper nodded and I walked into the house, away from everyone. I clicked on Edwards contact.
"Hello."
"Edward...we have an issue. Actually we have a couple." I said. I wanted to keep these things from him. I didn't want to worry him with them but Im starting to have no other options.
"What?"
"Bella's having nightmares To the point where she screams all night...and most of the time we cant wake her up from them. Victoria's here and has already attempted 3 time to get Bella for what you did to James. Laurent has tried to kill her. If it wasn't for the wolves shed be dead. Her mental health is deteriorating. I think you should consider coming back." I said.
"She's better off without me."
"She'll be dead without you!" I yelled.
"You can protect her."
"I have to protect Mason and Jasper has to protect me. I need you Edward. So does her." I said.
"I'll think about it." With that he hung up. I sighed and stepped outside and saw Jacob stood there.
"Call him back and tell him she doesn't need him." He said.
"You don't see her at night. I have. I have heard her screaming. She needs him. The mating pull is affecting her. She needs to see him." Jacob growled and stepped closer when Leah grabbed his shoulder.
"Enough." Leah said and Jacob shrugged her off and stormed away. I sigh and we walked over to Mason and Jasper. Jasper was putting a cut up hotdog and some salad on a plate for Mason.
"Mummy." I kissed his head and grabbed a bowl and had some salad.
"Eat up sweetie." He nodded and ate his food.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

[OLD] The Magus of Imminent Oblivion
AN: This is a pretty shitty novel, in case you haven't already guessed that by the rating. Check out the newer version that I'm writing, since it has more content written and higher quality (I hope). He was a nameless child born at the end of a great war. He gave himself a name, then worked his way to prosperity. He had a job, a wife, a daughter, and his future looked bright. But, then, things changed. His wife and daughter were dead, and a hundred bodies laid strewn across the floor. He couldn't continue to live; he pierced his body with his own sword. Awakening in a new world, his new body burned with an old fury. Where magic was common and power was cheap, he vowed to never let anything get the better of him.
