I woke up with the light blinding my eyes, i groan
"Addie! Are you alright?" Someone said, my vision is still blurry. I blink my eyes afew times and vision is clear
Jordan sitting beside me, he looks at me, concerned
"W-where am i?" I groan, rubbing my temple
"In the school's clinic, they beat you up pretty good"
I tired to stand up but, my back quickly protests
"Woah! Don't stand just yet" He said, carefully laying down
"Who carried me here?"
Jordan shook his head "By the way, i brought your backpack"
I smile at him "Thanks jordan"
He smile back at me
Then the door open reaveling a nurse, she walks over to me and jordan
"How are you feeling, Adeline?"
"Not good, my back hurts really bad"
She nods her head "I think it's best if you stay at home and don't go anywhere until your back is healed"
"B-bu-" I said but, i was cut off by the nurse
"No buts, no going anywhere until your back is healed, got it?"
I nod my head at her
"And you" She said, pointing at jordan "make sure she doesn't go anywhere"
He nod his head at her
How am i going to meet stranger tonight?
"Ok, good, both of you can go now, please take her home Mr. Wilson"
Jordan sling my backpack on his back then help me stand up, when his hand touch my back, i hiss in pain, he mumbled 'sorry' instead he put his arm around my waist
And we exit the school clinic, we both walk to the parking lot, we walk over to jordan's car and open the car door for me, i carefully slipped inand jordan shut the door and he went over to the driver's seat, he start the engine and we're off

"Why do they beat you up?"
I sigh "They thought that i pranked them"
Which i did
He looks at me "Why?"
"Eyes on the road and they thought i did it to gain popularity"
"Well, that's stupid. You hate being the center of attention"
I shrugged "They don't know that"
"That's true"
"Don't fight them, ok?"
Since we both grew up together, he has become like my older brother, always protecting me from people who bullied me
Once, i was bullied, the bully came to me,push me to the ground and stole my lunch money. Well, jordan, he punch the kid's nose until it bleed everywhere, he wasn't alowed to come to school for 4 days
So, people don't make jordan angry
"I"ll try, but if i fight them...."
I glare at him "No"
He sigh "Ok, i just don't want them to hurt you, again"
How am i suppose to meet stranger?
"And we are here"
I look over to see my house, i grab my backpack and got off the car and slowly walk towards my house before i open my front door
"Hey! Addie"
I turn my head to look at him "Yes?"
"Be careful ok?"
I nod my head at him and went inside, thankfully my mom wasn't home, i went upstairs into my room and close the door, i drop my bag and slam my body to my bed
Since, i don't have anything to do, i went downstairs to watch TV, i turn on the TV and flip through the chanel to see they is nothing good so, i decide to play a dianey movie
You are never to old for a disney film
I pick hercules and put it in the DVD player, i went to the kitchen to grab some doritos and went back to the living room, getting comfy with my blankets, ladies and gentleman the movie has begun

Half way through the movie, i feel myself getting sleepy, i feel my eyes getting heavier and heavie. Not long after that i fell asleep
I yawn and strech my body but, my back protest and i hiss in pain, i look over to the clock to see it is '6:45'
Since, i'm too lazy to change so, i just walk out of the door, i walk along the sidewalk and went into the woods
The stars gleamed under the night sky, i always admired them, you can't really see stars that often anymore, the lights of buildings will always over power the stars, it kinda sucks
I arrive at the meadow and stranger has not arrive yet, i sat down and pluck a flower, twirling it
"It's just like the first time we met"
I turn around to see stranger
"Yeah, it is"
"The first time we met, you thought i was an alien"
"I thought you could read my mind, i didn't know that it was my habbit to speak my thoughts out loud"
He chuckles and sat down next to me "When we first met, i was happy to see you"
I look at him "Why?"
"I was happy to know, there's a person like me, who wants to be away from the real world"
"I was suprised when i saw you here for the first time"
"Why?"
"I didn't expect a guy like you to come here"
He chuckles "That's understandable"
"Stranger, why don't you show me your face?"
"Because, i'm afraid" He said, looking down at the ground
"Afraid that?"
"Afraid that, you're going to faint when you see my handsome face"
I snort at him
"What?! It's true! Alot of girl are head over heels for me, consider yourself as one of the lucky ones to hang out with me"
"I can't see your face, how am i suppose to know?"
"I'm being honest right now"
"Maybe, when you reveal yourself, you are actually really ugly" I said, laughing
"Hey! I'm really handsome!"
I laugh at him even more and he join me
Tonight is filled with laughter and smiles, stranger actually make me forgot about my not-so-great day and made it a slightly better day

8 571Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
