I whisper completely amazed by the unearthly beautiful view. "This is what many mortals call paradise." Selene answered in a gentle tone. "Everyone with a kind heart is welcomed here." "There is a forest here too?" I ask, feeling like a little girl. The top of the trees seemed to gleam in a dark shade of forest green but it didn't feel frightening, it seemed welcoming. "Maybe I can take you there later or some other day but we really need to go in right now." Selene alerts me.

He was trying to find an Undead beast that he could use. Upon closer inspection, his eyes lit up as he started murmuring. “Oh, my stars... we hit the jackpot…” On the other hand, there was a mysterious island with a large, majestic mountain in the Northern Ocean. It was Peacock Mountain. The air surrounding the mountain was filled with spiritual energy, as divine colorful clouds encircled the peak. This place just seemed ancient, along with divine birds flying across the sky, chirping loudly. It was as if the place had come out of a painting.

Thanking God for all her blessings was top priority. They started trekking up the mountain as partners. Jaimee felt lucky that her partner was Jack, the guide, himself. If anything happened she had the expert himself. Her calf muscles were already starting to burn as they ascended the mountain, but further along, her adrenaline made the burn go away. She started walking faster, building up speed but Jack gave her a warning, “Don’t burn yourself out too quickly, Jaimee, we still have a long way to go before sunset. Get plenty of fluids too. But you’re all doing great, let keep going a little further before we stop to eat lunch.”

Chapter 35: The First Colony of Friction Year Four: The Diaspora of the Dissonant The fourth year of the Paradox was defined by a single, terrifying, and exhilarating word: Expansion. The "Permitted Era" had provided the technology, and the "Fourteenth Frequency" had provided the psychological stability, but it was the restless human spirit that demanded the cradle be left behind. The Earth, once a battlefield of corporate greed, was now a garden of sapphire light, but for the descendants of the Vances and Vanderwalls, a garden was just another type of enclosure.

“You have the wrong woman.” “No.” Calvin stayed close, his voice controlled but edged with anger. “The woman on Apollo wore a different face, but she used the same perfume. Jasmine and cedar.” I released his wrist and reached for the cloth beside the stove. “She also had the same mark behind her right ear.” My hand stopped. Calvin leaned closer. “Do you still want to tell me we have never met?” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” His gaze held mine. “Then perhaps you need help remembering.”

I send a message to Isaac to inform him that we're set to off. Me: hey, we're on our way to Paradise. I will call you later when we're done. Isaac: hmm, be careful all of you. Don't drink too much and have fun. After I read Isaac's message I set aside my phone and set it on vibrate. Our way to paradise only took 10 minutes to drive. We reached the place and see that it is already packed up with people. Tamara walked in the entrance with Avery and me on their tail. We took off our coats and went straight inside to check for our table.

She quietly sat beside the big stone and watched the scenery in front of her. “This is amazing, a paradise. I have lived in the City of Bloom my whole life, but I never once thought that there was a paradise here. I wonder if I can go back here once I leave,” she murmured to herself. She sighed as she thought of ways on how she should live her life right now. She just hopes that a miracle will come and give her back her old life, or maybe she can start a new life with what her father left for her. She stayed a little longer, and it was starting to get dark already when she heard someone calling her. She stood up and looked around and saw something from the other side of the lake.

--- Faradiso-Paradise --- There was a town in the East, named safest yet the most mysterious. Barriers of thick concrete aligning and separating the edges of ARIA and the safe zone. Hollows who knew of what’s inside the safe zone were shot, punished for not keeping their curiosity on the low. Who wouldn’t anyway? Having trained all life unwillingly and to follow the orders of those with jurisdiction. Who wouldn’t wanna know what lies in that area known to give security and comfort?

Late one summer night, as they tuned into frequencies unknown, the friends—Jake, Emily, Noah, and Lily—accidentally opened a portal to the Upside Realms, a parallel dimension dripping with eerie echoes of their own world. Unbeknownst to them, the Upside Realms harbored dark entities hungry for the energy of the living. As strange occurrences plagued Everwood—disappearing pets, flickering streetlights, and odd markings etched on the town's trees—the friends realized they were at the center of a supernatural storm.

William gently reached for her hand, unshed tears in his own eyes. He could feel it too... the joy, the happiness, The completeness. This was unlike anything he had experienced in his life... the feeling. It felt just right.... Like he was finally in Paradise.
