《Six of Crows One-Shots》My Dear Son, Wylan
Advertisement
Wylan yelped as he was shoved from the bed. When he stood, he glared at Kaz. "What?"
Kaz handed him a piece of paper covered in words that had no meaning to him. "What does it say?"
Kaz gave Wylan a small smile. "It wants your signature. If you accept..."
The boy glanced down and his cheeks heated. "I just wanted to do something special for you. I understand if you don't accept it."
Wylan exited his room and found Jesper sitting in the kitchen. "What does this say?" He asked, handing the boy the paper.
Jesper's eyes widened as he read the paper. "Woah."
"What?"
Jesper smiled at Kaz. "Are you serious?"
Kaz started nodding and Wylan glared at the boy. "Tell me!"
Jesper started laughing and threw the paper to the ground. "Kaz wants to legally adopt you!"
Wylan's eyes widened and his jaw dropped and he blinked multiple times. "Are you sure?"
Jesper nodded. "Yep. Kaz wants you to change your name to Wylan Rietveld."
"Why Rietveld?" Wylan asked, still in shock of the situation.
Kaz glanced down, his face slightly red. "It's my real last name. I used Brekker as a street name. I'm taking that last name again if you will sign the contract. If not... it doesn't really matter."
Wylan looked incredulous. "It does matter! Of course, I'll sign the paper!"
Kaz suppressed the smile that rose to his face and Wylan brightened.
"What made you do this, Kaz?"
The raven-haired boy didn't meet Wylan's gaze, his face still light pink. "It's your birthday soon and... I thought you would like this as a present."
Wylan nodded. "I do like it. Thank you."
Wylan grabbed a pen from the table and wrote the only word that he could- his name.
Jesper raised an eyebrow as he gazed at the form. "What does this mean for Wylan and me?"
Kaz took a step closer to them and pulled the contract from Jesper's hands. "I don't know. You'll find out soon enough."

Kaz smiled at Wylan Rietveld and patted the boy's back.
The redhead ducked his head and blushed. "I still can't believe you did this, Kaz."
Kaz Rietveld shrugged. "Don't you like it?"
Wylan glanced up at the boy and smiled. "I like it."

She Who Reigns the Stars [Vol. 1]
*Remastered version of She Who Reigns the Stars* Tell me, what will become of us? Presenting your Goddess… Asteria, Supreme Deity of Stalera, the nation of the Universe. She who rules the stars with steel eyes and an iron will, the glorious, the beautiful, the adored Goddess, has now fallen under the hands of her nemesis… The Archfiend, Emperor of Talonis, the nation of Vice and its Shadows, has now assumed reign over Stalera after the death of the Goddess. With the power of Vice, its Shadows, and the Universe, it is assumed that he would be satisfied now that Stalera was under his mercy, and the other two nations of Yelerna and Antalis would follow suit. But much to our surprise, he isn’t because he still lacks the… Ruby, The Goddess’ last attempt to save her empire and the entirety of the Universe. Before her death, the Goddess sealed a portion of her blood, which contained the remaining powers of the Universe the Archfiend hadn’t obtained, away from his grasp. She entrusted it to one of her Zodiac Warriors, a member of her elite service known as the Zodiac Warrior Circle, and instructed him to hide the precious jewel on Earth. The restoration of Stalera and the defeat of the Archfiend would lie in the hands of whoever inherited the ruby jewel. Those who inherited the ruby were known as the Goddess’ Successor, and the one next in line to inherit it is… Auriella Corentin. Life was never the same for Auriella the night her Grandmama gave her the ruby jewel and died, thrusting the poor girl into a world of magic. Now in possession of the Goddess’ blood, it wouldn’t be long until the Archfiend found her, killed her, and obtained her ruby inheritance. But Auriella never wanted this responsibility, not when she had her own past and inner demons to battle against. Nevertheless, she finds herself seeking an alliance with the Zodiac Warriors and a strange barista as she learns to wield the powers the Goddess bestowed to her. But as frequent demon attacks, a secret admirer (or stalker), strange notes, and a handsome, amber-eyed boy pile onto her plate, it is no longer clear whether the universe needed Auriella to be their savior or to be the Goddess’ (inferior) replacement. A Goddess in need of redemption. Four Nations at the brink of destruction. Our question still remains unanswered… What will become of us? [Updates Monday, Wednesday, Friday @8pm PST]
