Cynthia looks around the car and is surprised by the interior of it, she saw lights, a minibar, drinks like wine, beer, juice, soft drinks, and some snacks, there are tv screens on the side with a lot of movie options pre-installed in it, even though she has a lot of money on her she has never indulged in the world of the rich, she has heard about luxury cars like this but never been in one.
Julian "Looks like it's your first time in such a car?"
He said.
Cynthia "You didn't have to do this"
She said.
Julian "Don't worry it didn't cost me, this is my company's car"
He said.
Cynthia "Oh, I completely forgot, you are also a businessman"
She said.
Julian "Yes, luckily I have someone who looks over the business"
Cynthia "Hmm"
She said and nodded.
Julian "So what do you want to drink?"
Cynthia "I don't know, I will take anything"
She said.
Julian "Then, how about this?"
Cynthia "What every you choose"
Julian said and picked up a wine bottle, he didn't know how good Cynthia's alcohol-resistant is so he picked up the one with less alcohol content and the taste was pretty sweet, he knew that Cynthia liked to eat sweet things as he saw her eat those sweets when he visited her when she was injured.
He took two glasses and poured some wine in them and handed one over to Cynthia.
Cynthia "Thank you"
She said and held the glass in her hand, seeing Cynthia struggling to hold the thin handle of the glass caused him to chuckle.
Julian "Looks like you really don't indulge in the world of the rich"
He said.
Cynthia "I never got what so special about being rich?"
She asked.

Julian "Well, you don't need to think about it, not everyone is as talented as you when it comes to training pokemon so the only way they can gain influence is money"
He said.
Cynthia "Then what about you? You are the strongest trainer I have met my whole life, why are you indulging in the world of the rich?"
Julian "Being rich gives you a certain amount of freedom, for example, you don't spend much of your money on your pokemons right?"
Cynthia "Indeed, the league funds me for that"
She said.
Julian "Indeed, and for that, you need to work for them. While I don't depend on them for anything, so I can do whatever I want"
Cynthia "I see, you really don't like being controlled huh?"
Julian "No, I don't"
He said and sat closer to her.
Julian "Here let me help you"
He said and put his hands around her's and showed her how to properly hold the wine glass, she blushed a little as she felt Julian's hand.
Julian "Cheers"
Cynthia "Cheers"
With a cling of their glass, they drank their wine, after a sip, Cynthia was surprised by the taste of the wine, it was sweet and smooth, she liked it very much, she wanted to gulp it at once but she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Julian.
Julian and Cynthia talked for a while about normal stuff and about their life, they get closer to each other as they talked, everything was going pretty well when the car finally stopped since the car had two parts which were separated by a black wall, one side is where the driver sits and the other is the passenger seat where Julian and Cynthia is sitting, the driver cannot see what is happening inside protecting the privacy of the ones sitting inside.

Driver "Master Julian, we are at destination"
The driver's voice came through a speaker informing Julian about their destination, Julian pressed a button on the side and spoke in it, it is a mic that will work when the button is pressed
Julian "Ok"
Soon the driver got out of the car and opened the door, Julian got out and gave his hand to Cynthia and pulled her out as well.
Driver "Have a good night, Master Julian, Miss Cynthia"
The Driver said and went into the car and drove off, seeing the driver go away Cynthia was confused, she looked around and saw stairs going up a hill.
Cynthia "Where are we?"
She asked.
Julian "Well, keeping our identity in mind I decided to stay away from public places, this is a penthouse registered under my company's name, care to join me?"
He said and lent his hand, Cynthia nodded and put her hand around his arms and started to climb up the stairs with him, soon they arrived in front of the penthouse, the penthouse is not too big, it only has two bedrooms, one hall, a bathroom, and a kitchen and there is also a swimming pool outside.
Julian opened the door and walked in, the house was clean and no one was inside, seeing this Cynthia blushed a little, both of them were all alone in this house and no one was around, no neighbors who could disturb them.
Julian "Take a seat, I will go and prepare some food for us. Since you were so helpful I decided to treat you with food I made myself"
He said and walked into the kitchen leaving Cynthia behind in the hall, she looked around and walked outside and saw the beautiful stary sky and the sea that reflected the light of these starts, she is mesmerized by how beautiful the surround here really was.
She felt like staying here forever.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
