The head of the orphanage found me in the middle of the scorching summer, which was why he named me Theros Sommar. When Daisy learned of it, she then said that moving forward, the summer solstice every year would be my birthday. She then prepared birthday gifts for me and even baked a birthday cake for me to celebrate. Ever since my gastric bleeding the other day, she had forbidden me from drinking again. But the mood back then had been just right, so I pestered her until she gave in and allowed me to drink some red wine. One thing led to another, and that night, she finally gave herself wholly to me.

Before I turned fifteen, I lived like a weed. Cold, damp, barely surviving. Then I met Ethan Hayes and Summer Reed. The first home-cooked meal anyone ever made for me was made by Summer. The first dress I ever owned was bought by Summer. The first birthday anyone ever celebrated for me was something Summer planned down to the smallest detail. She would carefully put ointment on the chilblains covering my hands. And she would tell everyone, over and over, that I was her best friend. As for Ethan... He was the one who pulled me away from a group of laughing street punks. He was the one who kicked open a door and rushed me to the hospital when my fever reached 104 degrees. He was the

Because of him, I finally lived freely. Two lifetimes of entanglement ended in this one. Winter snow always melted, and spring always came. —The End

She looked up, caught me smiling, and smiled. That was it. That was the moment I was done for. Twenty one years old and this is what my life had become. Locked in my room on the first week of summer, curtains drawn, laptop open, completely feral over a woman I could never have. Dad was at work. Laura was somewhere in the house being loud about it. And Nicole was always the problem.

He looked around and noticed that the snow had melted, and the mountaintop featured a patch of green grass. "Ha, it's summer again this year, and the snow has melted once more," said Fremont. He opened the lid of the wine bottle as he spoke, and he started to drink. He faced the wind and said, "Yeah, that's the stuff." Fremont wiped the wine from his mouth and looked up at Wilbur, who was fixated on trying to control the cauldron fragments and had not noticed Fremont's arrival. Fremont watched Wilbur's back with a faint smile and nodded. He stepped forward, patted Wilbur on the shoulder, and asked, "So, Wilbur, have you found a solution?"

The table was a little small, creating the illusion of him looking stuffed in her living room. Summer shot him a side eye before looking back to her computer screen. Everything he did was no longer her business. After she was done with her class preparation, she cleaned her desk and went to the washroom, wanting to take a shower. There was no hot water, so the water that came out from the shower was icy cold. But Summer just went along with it. Mark was already done with the soup when she went back to the living room after her shower. He stared at her intensely, “Let’s go back to Valentine Mansion.”

I have to remain rational and composed. I look up and see warrior Levi reaching out to pull Summer from Hermes. However, the moment he touches her, everything crumbles. It is as if we were watching an image carved in thin glass or molded from clay breaking. The image shattered into thin fragments and instantly turned into thin wisps of smoke.

With a sigh, I walk away from the door which has tempted me more than anything and begin to make my way towards the huge bay windows which offered the room most of its light. As I come to a stop, I spot the huge white clouds high up in the blue sky, the feeling of summer approaching causing a smile to fill my lips, soon it will be longer and warmer days, a feeling I had been missing. This winter and a little touch of spring had felt the darkest for me, as though some huge block of ice had been blocking the sun, allowing whatever untamed beasts which lived below to growl and bare their teeth at me. But now as Spring due to a close and summer was approaching, the ice which loomed above me bega

I whispered, my voice sounding like it was coming from a mile away. "We survived the Sun, Emma," Félix said, sitting up and wiping the soot from his face. "But look at the horizon." I sat up. The sky was clear, but the ocean was... moving. Not a tsunami, but a slow, steady rise. The ice caps of the North were melting from the solar-burst. The sea level was climbing by the minute. "The Sun wasn't the end," Nathaniel said, looking at his charts. "It was the trigger. Solis has melted the Frost-Shield of the North. The Age of the Abyss isn't just a brother rising, Emma. It’s the world drowning."
