Fellow Travelers Novels & Stories

I stare at the two men before us, they seemed to be traveling by and I could catch the whiff of them them being wolves which made sense as to why they had approaches us in the first place They look harmless but I won't lower my guards around them, "Thank you so much for having us here, we are lone wolves who love traveling we've been traveling for few days Without stopping to rest and my brother here had just gotten injured, he's healing but not fast enough" the first wolf explain, I give him a questioning look but then I state right beside to Clarissa who already has a look of pity on her face. "I'm Mike and my brother here is Raphael," he says introducing themselves.

He gives his card to the clerk as she giggles towards us, scanning his card and gives it back to him. "Care to help me carry my stuff?" I ask sheepishly. He smiles and grabs some of my stuff as we walk out together. The rest of the ride was smooth. My brother kept rolling his eyes as he sees how Travis and I always manage to go from bickering to treating each other like best friends. He kept pocking at my food, and so did I biting his breakfast sandwich. Celeste sat shot gun with my brother and kept laughing at how we kept joking around and pocking each other like five year olds.

Traveling in a group was not strange and it was perfect for the spy who wished to enter the kingdom through the Southwest. As he expected, the topic on the lips of the travelers was the Extermination Campaign. Many of the people traveling were mercenaries who wished to offer their services to nobles without a powerful army to participate in the Extermination Campaign. It was a damgerous job but it came with many rewards and it was safer since they were traveling in a group.

They all moved back and forth, loading luggage while I was trying not to lose my mind. My eyes landed on Dylan and Trinity, who were both talking to Fergus and Sonya. The smallest smile reached my lips as they pulled both of them into a warm hug. Fergus hugging Dylan, or anyone for that matter, was still a strange occurrence. It was safe to say this trip had really changed him. All of us would be leaving for Starlight later. Me, Kylan, Dylan, Trinity, and Nate. We had decided to travel together by jet. Back to school and normal life, whatever that even meant anymore.

Chapter 24: Reunions As the traveler made his way through the bustling streets of the city, he was greeted by familiar faces and warm smiles, his heart swelling with happiness at the sight of the friends he had missed so dearly. "It's good to see you again, my friend," exclaimed one of the city's inhabitants, clapping the traveler on the back with a grin. "We thought you had been lost to us forever." The traveler smiled warmly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the people who had become like family to him. "I could never stay away for long," he replied. "This city holds a special place in my heart, and I couldn't bear to stay away for too long."

The Luna Assemblies became cosmic sanctuaries, where individuals exchanged stories, shared wisdom, and offered support to one another on their journeys of self-discovery. The Luna Nexus expanded its cosmic reach, transcending the boundaries of time and space. Within this interdimensional network, cosmic travelers found solace and guidance, connecting with kindred spirits from distant corners of the universe. The Nexus became a cosmic library of knowledge, where seekers delved into ancient wisdom, discovered new perspectives, and received mentorship from wise cosmic guides who embodied the essence of authenticity.

"You're the ONLY brother-in-law she's ever had." "Well, now, that makes it even worse!" Doug said playfully. "How about the rest of our Moon Terror gang? Are they all here yet?" I smiled as I nodded my head. "Alice, Peter, Chloé, and Chris are with Sol, Celeste, Tyler, and Trish. They're doing the whole kid talk thing since Cira and Morris are the same age as Stella and Caellus." "Are we seriously the only ones riding the childfree train, besides my sister?" Nate asked with a fake confused expression.

My boyfriend proposed to me when we graduated from high school, but I made a deal with him instead of giving him an immediate answer. "We'll get married when we've collected 500 train tickets." In the first year, Marcus could hardly wait to come see me every day. Before long, our collection had grown to 280 tickets. He even laughed and said that he'd be able to take me home as his wife before graduation at the rate he was going. In the second year, we met each other halfway. Soon, the number of tickets climbed to 400. But in our third year, Marcus told me that his advisor had taken on a new project and that a junior who had just joined the research team needed him to show her the rope

And she would not be left behind. The next morning, as the sun rose over a city that was slowly, surely, beginning to heal, a small party rode out of the main gates. It was not an army, but a fellowship. A king and his queen, a handful of their most trusted guards, and a single, clear purpose. They were not fleeing. They were not retreating.

“They told others what happened.” The circle behind Rowan remained quiet. Stories had begun moving exactly as expected. “What did they say?” Derek asked. “That you fed them,” the traveler replied. “And?” “And that you told them the truth.” The traveler’s eyes moved across the group carefully. “Places that do both are rare.” Silence stretched between them for a moment.
