《All Things Must End》Chapter 2: Were Am I? Nowhere...
Advertisement
After a little while Milo and Edward finally arrived where they were going. When Milo looked up he saw the most peculiar sight. It was as bright as day but he could see the stars. This astounded Milo as he didn't know of any place on earth like this.
"Were are we?" Milo asked Edward.
"Nowhere." Edward bluntly replied
"Nowhere?" Milo yelled appalled at the illogical answer to his question.
"How can we be nowhere, we are obviously somewhere".
Edward sighed at the over-dramatic Milo, he didn't say anything and thought for a while. Edward then looked over to Milo and said.
"How do I say this... We are technically somewhere, but we do not know where that somewhere is exactly. It could be in an undiscovered part of the universe, between space, or even a different reality, in short we do not know, so we are virtually, nowhere."
"Then Mr. Edward why exactly are we here?" asked Milo.
"Obviously for school, why else would I have taken you away from your terrible father and generous mother." Replied Edward matter-of-factly.
"What School, I don't see a school." Responded Milo, fearing for Edwards health and eye sight.
"Obviously you can't see it, step forward and it will be visible." Thinking he was speaking to an idiot, he sighed.
When Milo stepped forward he could feel as if he was walking through a thin film, it was almost like it warped around his body. After stepping through he could see a grand looking array.
There were beautiful towering buildings that looked both modern and classic. The glass and stone on the buildings appeared like a flowing river with no obstruction. There was a reflection pool in the center of the buildings that gave off an impression of the stars being on the ground. It seemed as if the stars were waving at each other from above and below.

"Amazing site isn't it." Edward said, spoiling the mood Milo was in, after viewing such an exotic scene.
"Yea" Milo replied.
"We must hurry Milo or you will miss the recommencement ceremony." Edward stated.
"Is that bad?" Milo asked. He becoming pale with fright. Being late on the first day, would make him the laughing stock of everyone, he thought with horror. Also what a cliche thing to happen. It was almost like he was novel's protagonist. Such thoughts soon left his mind, after all what is the point of entertaining such absurd thoughts.
"Being late to you're Recommencement ceremony would be very bad, especially with what it signifies." Edward said.
As the two continued on there way to the ceremony they passed a couple individuals, many of them looked at Milo with interest. When they caught sight of Edward though they bowed their head in respect.
When the two had almost reached the building holding the ceremony, which looked like the Parthenon they were stopped by an individual who was similarly clothed to Edward.
"Hello Edward, I am sorry to say that you are late." Said the man.
"Out of the way Possessio I must get into the building and I will not have you hold me up." Replied Edward.
"Oh but Edward I am not holding you up, I am merely following the preexisting rules." Informed the 'kind' sir.
"You can't fool me Possessio I know what you are doing, and I will not stand for it! Now out of my way or else..." threatened Edward.
Edward could see that this conversation was going no-were, so he used a different tactic.
"Possessio, have you ever heard of a Susan Finem, this is her son Omnia" Stated Edward.
Edward asked this question because he could obviously tell, there was someone hiding around the corner of the building. It was quite obvious to him who it was also. The person was Cain. He maintained a similar job to Edward, except he was not as high up or well regarded. One of the main reasons he wasn't as well accepted, was because of situations like these.

Cain always felt that he was greater than others perceived him to be. Because of this he craved recognition and acceptance at all costs. Cain went to great lengths to win the acknowledgment of others, but in reality he was perceived, with less and less significance each passing day.
When Cain heard the name Susan Finem he jerked his head up. If the Susan he was thinking about, is the same as the one Edward mentioned, he might not live past the night. He quickly realized it must be the same, how else could two share such a strange last name.
As Cain had this epiphany his back become wet with cold sweat, and he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine. The closest thing he would be able to relate it with would be death. It was almost like he was having a staring contest with the harbinger of death...
Cain ran out from behind the building with his face twisted in anguish. He strictly reprimanded Possessio for upholding important business.
"Possessio how could you uphold these fine men, when they even Kindly asked to pass?"
"But Sir Cain you said...." Possessio tried to prove his innocence, but he was cut short by Cains harsh glance.
"Possessio do not try to get out of you're reprimanding, you have done wrong, and when an individual does wrong they must face disciplinary action." Responded Cain without a hint of shame across his face. It seemed as if he didn't even see his own faults or wrongdoings in the matter.
Edward was to tired with the situation to talk any further with the two. He looked over too Milo and asked
"Are you ready, your life will forever change from this moment."
"What kind of life would I live if I didn't seek out change and adventure?" Milo asked.
"Good answer" Edward Said.
Milo was full of anticipation for what was about to happen. His heart was racing and he was breathing heavily. As Milo and Edward opened the door, to the building housing the ceremony Milo was shocked.

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
