I wake up, feeling the familiar strong arms around me. It's comforting. The sun rises, and directly into the room. It makes Jamison's brown hair, look auburn. I love it.
I savor this perfect moment. It feels so normal. Like nothing ever happened between him and I. Like we haven't spent seven years apart.
As if the moment couldn't get any more perfect, I see a tired Evie, wander her way into the room, and smile.
She walks over to my side of the bed, and climbs up. She cuddles into the covers, her small body is warm, and soft.
"Morning momma." She quietly says, looking over at Jamison.
"Good morning Evie. Did you sleep okay?" I whisper, as Jamison holds me tighter.
"Mhm. Is daddy still sleeping?" She asks me. I softly nod my head.
"Yeah, so we gotta be quiet, okay?" She smiles, and just snuggles in more. I hold her in my arms, brushing a blonde hair off of her face.
Jamison moves closer to me, my back pressed against his stomach. His breaths are slow, and even.
"Good morning, love." He whispers into my neck, his voice tired, deep, and raspy. It sends chills down my spine.
"Good morning."I reply, as Evie sits up.
"Hi daddy." She smiles, looking at him.
"Morning pumpkin. You sleep alright?" He asks her.
"Yeah." Evie smiles, as she squeezes between us.
We all stay in bed for at least another hour. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
The normality I've felt, even in the last 24 hours, in unreal. There's no tension, and most important, Evie feels so comfortable. Like this is what her life is supposed to be like.
"Do you guys love each other?" She questions, rubbing her hand across Jamison's face.
"I love your momma," Jamison kisses her cheek. A huge smile spreads across both of their faces. It makes me melt.
"And I love your daddy," I reply, kissing Evies cheek.
"Does that mean we can all live together now?"
"Well, sweetheart, that's not quite a possibility yet, but someday. Someday soon." Jamison tells her. She frowns.
"You said that last time." She claims.
"This time I really mean it kiddo."

8 152The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
