3.3 Plan A (The Date) 2
He should have known something was wrong the moment he stepped into the cafe.
First of all, he had never seen the place so full. Almost every table was taken, and his gaze immediately zeroed in on his favourite spot in the corner, hoping it would be empty. Thankfully, it was. He had been looking forward to having a cup of Arabique coffee that he had been craving for the past few days. Of course, he could just order to-go, but sipping coffee while doing some casual reading in his favourite cafe was something that always relaxes him. And boy, did he need some down time.
The past week had been a blur of subjugation requests and raids and rescue missions and paperwork. If he had known how much paperwork he had to go through every time he finished a mission, he would never have accepted the Chairman's offer of enlisting as an Anomaly Guard. Well, at least they allowed him to have an aide. He spared a moment to appreciate Boris' hard work and sympathize with hi

Humans are not as compatible with magic as elves or dwarves. Something about inherent biological capacity and environmental exposure. Earth was naturally devoid of magic, and if it weren't for the Gaia Incident, humans probably would be in the same oblivious bubble of ignorance they've been enjoying for the past few millennia.But things did change, and in order to survive, humans had to evolve and adapt to these changes. Nowadays, roughly sixty percent of the human species can be considered Mages. Now, for every three hundred human Mages, one is bound to develop some sort of supernatural ability in addition to their inherent magical abilities. There aren't a lot of them, and their abilities are so unique and varied, that it's hard to categorize them. So, they are generally known as the Gifted.Although magical ability for the Gifted are less than for ordinary Mages, some of them have Gifts so powerful that it can't even be considered a disadvantag
I Make My Own Happy Ending 4.2 A Little Insight
I had been sitting on pins and needles the entire time I was waiting for Jester to email me the venue for our date.I couldn't even vent my stress by picking out an outfit, since I don't even know where we were going to have dinner. Bea said I should email him to follow-up, but I said I didn't want to sound super desperate or something. And part of me was worrying that maybe he wouldn't reply (that would be embarrassing!) or that maybe he'll go back on his promise and cancel on me (I don't think he's that type of guy, but then again he was the guy who gave me a fake number).So, to ease my frustration, I asked Mister Louie to install this tracking spell and sync it to my holo screen so that I can see in real time where Jester might be. Mister Louie assured me that although it was totally illegal, it was also untraceable so I won't go to jail for it, but he did say I shouldn't mention (especially to my Dad) where I got it from.

I hop from one world to another constantly, but I have always found Earth to be the most beautiful of the three (no bias, seriously). Oren has its charms with its soaring mountain ranges that far outsize anything that you could see on Earth, their cities usually twice or thrice as large as any City State anywhere else. For some reason, dwarven architecture focused on space--creating as much of it as possible, and filling it up with anything you can possibly imagine. Very much like a beehive or an anthill. I've been to Mister Louie's place in New York a few times, and let me tell you that if you ever find yourself invited to a dwarf residence, it's best to stay put unless you have someone who knows the place guide you around. His wife (who is human, BTW) says that the confusion grows on you, and I'll have to take her word for it because she says she only got lost during the first few weeks of their marriage.Ellenis is more surreal, with pockets of dense forests, sur

"Why are you interested in me?" Jester asked shamelessly. As if he were asking me why I chose to wear purple today, instead of asking me to reveal my deepest desires. He probably didn't realize his first question would be something impossible for me to answer at the moment. I told him so, and he said, "But you promised you'd answer me honestly--""As honestly as I can, yes, and I am honestly telling you that I cannot fully explain it right now." I looked him in the eye (bad idea, it was like looking at roughly cut diamonds) to show my sincerity."All I can tell you is that I think you're different. And that you are someone I would be better off knowing, than ignoring.""How can you say that?" he persisted. The potato salad and lamb chops arrived, coating our conversation with the heavenly smell of herbs and sauces.I chewed thoughtfully for a moment before answering. I am not very good at giving straightforward answers (

There was something in the way she told him that she had seen terrible things, too, that made Jester believe she was telling the truth. And it made him wonder, not for the first time, what other secrets Alisa Vega had.And strangely, a small part of him wanted to know more than just her secrets as well.This small part of him was telling him that there would be more to benefit him if he befriended her. Her looks aside, her power and the resources available to her could prove useful in accomplishing his goals. He didn't know what she had in mind, but before the night is through he was confident he'd find out. If what she wanted from him was his power, he could definitely find a way to use the situation to his advantage.And if she asked for something he couldn't or wouldn't give, well, then he could deal with that as well."What are you planning to do next?" Jester asked directly. He could tell from the light in her eyes

"Get down!"Freya d'Or heard the warning almost a second too late. She hit the floor just as an enormous silver streak of metallic fur leapt at the equally enormous tentacled Anomaly that she had been grappling with a moment ago. The silver beast's claws and gleaming teeth ripped into the creature like a knife through butter, severed body parts flying through the air around them. Freya would have felt pity for the Anomaly, if the thing hadn't nearly torn her limb from limb just a moment ago.Certain that the Summoned Beast could handle the Anomaly, Freya turned to her saviour. He sat on the edge of a rock a few feet above, black coat flying in the breeze, with a disinterested expression on his irritatingly handsome face.Jester Lee.Master Necromancer.Rookie of the Year.Every woman's unattainable fantasy.Arrogant prick."You're late," Frey said, making her way up the slope tow

I would like to state, for the record, that my being in Jester's apartment with his mother that day was purely coincidence. I did not plan for her to invite me into her home and help her cook chicken pesto and meat stew for dinner. I did not plan for her to walk back with me to the apartment when I ran into her at the convenience store while she was buying laundry detergent and I was there for some iced coffee. And I most certainly did not plan for Jester Lee to walk in just as I was carrying the said pasta dish, all decked out in his mother's apron with my hair up and my face all shiny with excitement since this was the first time I have ever helped cook anything in my entire life.I swear on the honourable name of my house, all of this was fate.Bea pointed out that I helped fate quite a lot by buying the entire building where Jester and his family lived and moving into the apartment exactly opposite theirs, thus making such 'fated' en

"Neighbor...?" Jester echoed, as if it were the first time he heard of the word."Yes, dear. Alisa just moved in next door," Ms. Lee told her son, apparently oblivious to his inner turmoil. "I ran into her outside and I invited her over for dinner. I hope you don't mind."It wasn't a question. It was clear to him that his mother wasn't asking for his opinion. The fact that she was calling her by her first name, and that she was inside their home, meant his mother had already formed a favourable opinion of the actress. He wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that his mother had watched every episode of all three seasons of Bonecastle Life.The good mood he had when he boarded the Portal Pod home had disappeared the moment he saw Alisa standing behind his mother. The fatigue and frustration that had built up over the past three days in the Wildlands resurfaced, and he could feel the beginnings of a headache form
