《Silence - Adopted By Elizabeth Olsen》27.

I wake up to a weird feeling on my face. I soon realise it's mom giving kisses all over my face. I'm not sure how I know it's her, but I know. I decide to keep my eyes closed for a bit longer, not wanting her to stop.
"I know you've been awake for a few minutes now." She giggles against my skin, but doesn't stop the kisses.
I slowly open my eyes, looking at my mother who has the biggest grin on her face. "Goodmorning birthday girl." She smiles, giving me another kiss on my nose.
I wrap my arms around her before she can pull her head away, burying myself in her neck. She chuckles and picks me up from bed before carrying me to the bathroom.
She sits me down on the edge of the sink, preparing a toothbrush. She motions for me to open my mouth but I clench my jaw, biting down on my teeth.
She offers me an unamused smile, setting her hands on her hip as she looks at me intently. "Are we going to do this every morning?"
I slowly nod my head, earning me a chuckle. "That's too bad, I had a birthday breakfast prepared for you but I guess auntie kate will have to eat it."
I think it's safe to say that without any more thought, I immediately open my mouth. I love auntie kate but momma makes some really good breakfast.
She grins proudly, brushing my teeth before giving me a quick shower and helping me put on my clothes.
I'm perfectly capable of brushing my own teeth, changing my clothes and showering (apart from turning on the water because that confuses me), but I'm not going to tell her that.
She picks me up again which I happily allow, carrying me off the stairs. She immediately puts me down when we make it off the stairs. I pout at her and cross my arms, confused as to why she wouldn't carry me any further.

She simply laughs and places a hand on my back, gently pushing me towards the door that is separating me and the living room.
When I open it, my confusion only grows. I looked through the window in the bathroom and it was a beautiful sunny morning, but the living room is pitch black.
How is that even possib-
"SURPRISE!!" A single voice shouts, ripping me out of my thoughts. A few people laugh and mumble before the lights turn on. Rose is standing in the middle of the room with the biggest grin on her face and her hands up in the air.
"Rose you were supposed to wait!" Scarlett laughs, stepping away from a sofa. Rose looks around her, an apologizing expression on her face.
"Sorry sorry, we will do it again. Casey go back." She says sternly, motioning for everyone to get back to their places.
Without any destination, I do what my best friend asks of me, turn around and close the door behind me.
I notice mom looking flabbergasted from the corner of my eye, but I ignore it and gently knock on the door after a minute or two, again noticing the dark.
This time, everyone jumps out at the same time while mama turns on the lights. "SURPRISE!"
I decide to use a few of the acting tricks Aunt Ashley taught me yesterday.
I gasp loudly, covering my cheeks with my hands. I squeak when Rose steps forward and run towards her. She meets me halfway as we collide in each others arms and jump around.
After that I greet Scarlett, a few of moms friends I've never met before, their kids and of course I thank my aunts and grandma before getting served a plate full of delicious pancakes.
Once that's finished I get to open presents. Scarlett gave me some new pajamas while Rose gave me a DIY bracelet kit which we plan on using to make friendship bracelets.

Chris and his family gave me a bunch of goods to bake cookies with mama, other Chris gave me a skateboard and protective gear, Robert and his family gave me a bunch of school supplies for my new school and Benedict and his family gave me a fruit basket containing fruits I've never seen before.
Grandma gave me a DVD box of a tv show called 'Full House' while auntie Ashley and Kate told me they'd give me my present later.
After we had lunch I went to play outside with Exton, Tristan, Avri, India, Christopher, Sasha and Rose.
"Thank you all for coming guys, I know it was short notice but it means a lot to me." I thank my Marvel castmates.
"Of course Lizzie, but you could have told us you had a kid." Chris (Evans) chuckles making some of us laugh.
We all engage in some small talk, catching up since we haven't seen each other in a while. "We should do this more often, next time, my place." Robert suggest which we all agree on.
Mom walks over to us and bends down to whisper in my ear. "Maybe now is a good time for cake?"
I nod and stand up, excusing myself to go place the candles. My mom and I spend all night baking a cake which Ashley and Mary-Kate have decorated. It's definitely not one that is award-worthy, but I'll just go all out next year.
I place 7 candles on the cake before making my way out. "Kids!" I shout at the hoard of kids who are running and jumping around. I chuckle as they all freeze into place, slowly turning their head towards me.
"It's cake time." I grin resulting in a bunch of yelling kids who run towards me. I expected them to stop when they reached the front door, but they all continue to run as if it is possible to go right through me.
I dodge all the kids. All except for one. Casey reached the door first and is holding it open so all the others can pass, after making sure she is the last one, she walks in, quickly hugs my legs and sits down on her birthday chair.
I bring in the cake as we all start to sing happy birthday. I almost trip over my own feet, too focused on the wide smile on my daughters face.
"Make a wish, make a wish!" Rose cheers full enthusiasm when the song has finished. Casey look intently at it, suddenly furrowing her eyebrows.
"But mama I don't want anything else?"
I hear a loud laugh coming from beside me and connect eyes with Scarlett. She looks at me with a wide grin before shouting into Caseys direction. "Stop being so perfect and just blow the damn candles so we can eat some cake."
Everyone laughs, including Casey before she blows out the candles. All go out except for one, but before she can open her eyes Rose blows it out for her. Casey looks up at me with a proud grin. I return it, applauding her with everyone else.
We enjoy the cake and after a few more hours of partying, everyone goes home. Everyone except for Scarlett and Rose.
After closing the door I follow the girls upstairs, a loud noise coming from the room where Rose is staying.
When I open the door I see Rose jumping on the bed while cheering one single word over and over again.
"Sleepover!"

The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
