The Only One
Chapter 11
It's 5:55 right now and Ryan is going to be picking me up to go to Santa Monica at 6.
I'm honestly pretty nervous for tonight. I've decided that tonight I'm going to tell Ryan how I feel about him. I was supposed to do it last week, but ya know, we had that little mishap with my brother.
I've really been trying not to think about what's happened in the past two days, because if I actually let the thought cross my mind that this is actually happening, I will have a mental breakdown.
The only person that I can really talk to about this, other than Ryan of course who I don't wanna bore to death, is Bex. But I'm mad at her right now. I can't just call her up and use her for a minute, then go back to ignoring her.
So for the time being, I'm just gonna pretend my dad is still with the army. Everything is fine with him, he's protecting the country with all his buddies, and in 6 months, he'll be home safe and sound. If only.
My phone starts blaring Downtown Girl again, and this time I look to see that it's Bex calling. Ignore.
In a second, Ryan is knocking at my door and I grab my sweatshirt, keys, and my phone and go to meet him outside.
He seems to really take in my appearance.
"Hanna, you look gorgeous!" He says.
"Thanks, and hello to you too." I smirk.
"Haha, sorry, hey Han." He smiles. It's so good to have him back in my life.
"So, uh, are you guys excited for the gig tomorrow night?" I ask. I can't think of anything else to say! This is kind of awkward...
"Um, yeah, definitely! Are you coming? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to, I'm not sure if Maggie's coming."

"I'd love to come, Ryan." I smile. "Even if Maggie's not there, as long as you're there, I'll be fine." Oh my god, did I really just say that?!?! I turn a deep shade of red, and Ryan blushes just a little, but tries to wipe it away with a slight chuckle.
"Good. We love having you. Oh! And Cam is going to be back with us for tomorrows show!" Ry exclaims. I love when Cam is at the shows. He's hysterical.
"Awesome! I haven't seen him in a while!"
"Yeah, we haven't talked much either. He's been focused on helping his cousin at the moment. But everything seems to be going back to normal."
"Thank god." I say quietly.
Soon enough, we arrive at Santa Monica and immediately get some dinner.
Then we get tickets for some rides and go in the photo booth, of course right? That's kind of our thing!
We pose for four random pictures, and then take a walk on the beach.
This is my time to tell him. I can tell him everything right now. The moment is perfect.
We stop at about 10 yards from the water, and Ryan grabs both of my hands.
"I need to tell you something!" The both of us say in unison.
"Okay, you first." I say.
"No, Han, you first." Ryan says.
I shake my head, in agreement. Okay. Why not? I need to tell him at some point.
"Okay, look Ry, I've wanted to tell you this for a while now. I...well...when I first met you.." Ah, how do I say this? "Look, at the meet and greet that day, it was different. You were different. You made it perfect. It was one of the best nights of my life. And then when you picked me to rap with you and you pretended not to recognize me, it was amazing.

"I spend so much of my time alone, and I'm not trying to sound like a pouty, negative girl here, but you made it different. You made me feel special. You made me feel like I meant something.
"And I never in a million years thought that I'd ever even get the chance to talk to you. So when I saw you here that day, I knew that it meant something. We were meeting eachother again for a reason.
"As many times as I talked about you guys in school to my friends, they just got frustrated with me. They would say, "You talk about them too much!" But you know what? You guys had such an impact on my life. You came into my life in a time when I was in need. Without my family home, you were always there for me. You were there for me to turn to, and I knew you always would be.
"I never ever thought that you'd actually be standing next to me as you were there for me. I always thought that you'd be there behind the music.
"Ryan, what I'm trying to say is thank you so much for always being there, and I know that even more now, you always will be." I pause and smile at him.
"As the crazed fan that I am, Ry, I always said to my friends, 'Oh my gosh, I love Ryan Follese! He's so perfect in every way. I'm in love with him!' But I never ever thought that love would become real. It was a crazy fangirl looking up to idol."
Goodness, this is so hard! "What I'm really trying to say -" I begin again, but Ryan drops my hands, and cups my face in his hands again, and leans down and kisses me. It wasn't a kiss that was full force, it was...light. It was the type of kiss that made your knees tremble, and your heart flutter.
I never want him to pull away, but when he does he says, "I love you, Hanna. There is no denying that fact. You are the girl I want to be with. You are perfect for me and I'm crazy about you."
His words really wanna make me cry. I throw my arms around him, and rest my head on his shoulder, and say, "I love you too Ryan."
He smiles one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen. His smile could explain exactly how I'm feeling right now. I am the luckiest person in the world. He means everything to me, and I never want to let him go.

Familiar In Chains
Familiar: A magical beast of one type or another which forms a magical bond with a mage who possesses a similar magical trait. Thus entering into a master-servant contract. Due to their abilities as a familiar, they possess all of the intelligence and knowledge of a human alongside the instincts and nature of a beast. Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Talius
The two moons of Talius gleam with a hypnotic glow; Araius with the color of a cooling blue, and Kranos beaming in a gentle orange. Arairus obscures Kranos with his enormous celestial body, letting Kranos peek out only halfway. This means that it's the month of Gantelos, the season of cold that hovers over Talius for half a year. It also notifies the residence of this planet that the dreadful Fuune will rise from the deep snow, deep from beneath the crust every night and feast on the humans who inhabit this tundra-infested world.
