Part 1 New day. Clean slate. Time to get this game rolling. Nathan couldn't stand to be idle, and the forced vacation left him with way more free time on his hands than he would have liked. Not that he didn't agree wholeheartedly with his manager's decision; in this reset, he was recovering from a pretty bad head injury. But Nathan knew better. A week of his week and a half hiatus had passed, and in that time he'd gotten reoriented. He was a reporter and editor at The Citizen, working in a group under Scott, who was his supervisor. He was primarily responsible for editing others' articles, but occasionally got assignments of his own, whi

"So what are you calling yourself these days, Lu?" The question came from a tall gentleman dressed in a white business suit, standing in front of one of the bookshelves while he flipped through the pages of one of the books. He had coarse, ashen blond hair cut short and neat, and the serious scowl and posture of a warrior. He scoffed as he looked over at Alton with piercing, amber gold eyes. "Something clever, no doubt." But the shopkeeper only smiled, shaking his head. "I don't think so. The name is Alton. Alton Sterling." He laughed, adjusting his glasses. "And you have my adoptive father to praise for that.

Chapter 1 It was the first time it had rained in a month. It would figure the deluge would start well before she would arrive in the next town, especially now that the couple who had dropped her off was long gone. She should have just asked if they would have gone a little further down the road and taken her the rest of the way. There wasn't much she could do about it now... Que sighed, pulling her jacket tighter around herself, plodding down the muddy road. Thankfully, there was no wind to add to the chill of the moist, early autumn air. Not that it would have made much difference to Que as she continued along, wondering if the town would

Chapter 1 Zamzahdu, or Central City as most of the fae called it then, was exactly what its namesake proclaimed: the city at the center of the faerie kingdom. The large oak tree that housed it was said to have been there since the creation of the world itself, and its size alone was perfect for the numerous faeries who lived there. And for faeries who wanted to move there. Which is why it was a perfect choice for Jaketa, a healing faerie, who had decided to move from the country. Currently, having just moved in, she felt just a little intimidated by the amount of faeries that there actually were in the city, but tried to be a little more

Chapter One: The Celebration It was that time of year again: the birthday celebration of Princess Ruby Saffir. She would be turning eighteen, becoming a young woman, and (perhaps more importantly) attracting suitors. The royal family had gone to great lengths to prepare the festivities, but one kink in the plan had made its way into the preparations: the royal cook had fallen terribly ill. No cook, no cake. This problem needed to be resolved as quickly as possible. So this was how Alyxander Legume, Celest's one and only local baker, was stuck with an order for an enormously large cake for someone else on his birthday. Oh how lucky he felt.
