Chapter
I've been here for fifteen years and not a single person told me I look good today, I'm going to commit arson.
~ Scarlett's POV ~
We won the game! We went out for a celebratory dinner before heading off to our homes.
As I got home and took a nice warm shower, I realized how I'm going to turn a year older tomorrow.
I came out of the shower, I washed my hair so it was out and curly.
I put on a UCLA light blue sweatshirt and matching shorts, I let my hair air dry as I laid in bed.
I decided to take a break off of Criminal Minds and put on Euphoria, I played with the sleeves of my sweatshirt and bit my lip as the show began.
The songs were amazing, well written.
I was getting super into the show, so far my favorite character is Maddy.
She could care less who was around when she said whatever was on her mind, therefore she was easily my favorite.
I paused the show and quietly went downstairs, it was about half past ten and my dad was already passed out in his room.
I grabbed a bowl and poured some grapes in.
I grabbed my phone off the charger and walked outside of the house, closing the door quietly.
The stars looked gorgeous, I sat down and ate the grapes as I scrolled through Instagram.
I turned my phone off after eating the rest of my grapes, I walked inside an spaced the bowl into the sink quietly before tip toeing upstairs.
I turned off my TV and went to sleep, I was exhausted.
The sun woke me up bright and early, that was one thing I hated.
I loved the summer but hated how I was awaken from the sun, I sat up and groaned.

I got up from my bed and brushed my teeth, I brushed my hair into a ponytail and kept my pajamas on.
When I got downstairs I was greeted with breakfast and the Walton children.
I picked up Daelo and spun him around, I set him down so he can enjoy his breakfast.
I hugged the rest of the siblings and sat down with them to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, I was forced to change out of my pajamas to go to a birthday lunch.
It was still early so we all walked to a park and hung out there, it was peace and quiet.
I groaned as I looked at every couple walking past us, they looked cute and it made me happy.
Jaden looked at me with his eyebrow raised and smirked a bit.
"What's up with you?"
Jaden asked as he put his phone away and sit next to me, I looked at him and smiled.
I've been here for fifteen years and not a single person told me I look good today, I'm going to commit arson.
I said laughing, Jaden looked at me and laughed as well.
He grabbed my hand and looked at me in my eyes.
"You look good today Scarlett, like really gorgeous."
He complimented me, I blushed a bit and looked away.
I couldn't make eye contact with someone after being complimented, I felt flustered enough as it is.
"Thank you Jaden."
Before he could say something, Daelo ran over to me and begged me to play tag with him.
Who was I to say no to a little kid who wanted to play tag?
After some hours of hanging in the park, we finally went out to lunch but it was too late for lunch so it turned into dinner.

The sun was beginning to set, I had already met with my mom.
She stood for a bit and gave me a gift, it was a guitar.
I was sitting on my bed, strumming my guitar.
Soon I heard my window open making me jump up, I looked at my window and watched as Jaden walk in.
I let go of my deep breath and rolled my eyes, he gave me a heart attack.
"Hey, I got you a gift birthday girl."
I laughed and put my guitar down, I motioned him over.
He sat down beside me and gave me a small red box, when I opened it I smiled.
It was a ring with a butterfly, he then gave me his right hand which revealed a matching butterfly ring.
I hugged him tightly and smiled.
"Thank you Jaden, I love it."
I said happily, Jaden kissed my forehead and left my room.
Today was officially the best birthday I have ever had in my fifteen years of living.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

This project has no purpose
Summary: This is the story about the life of a "human" amidst a world that only appears to be earth at first glance. Long ago the face of this world resembled the typical tales of yore; of knights and fairies, swords and magic, however such an era has come and gone. Even the world of fantasy has progressed steadily into the modern epoch filled with the wonders of science and technology! In the ancient times a certain crisis had occured that lead to the quick decline of various magical species. Due to their low population and general incompatibility with the other races they could not crossbreed to save their numbers. Left with no other choice the major races of the world gathered together in an attempt to change the fate of this dying world. Their only hope was a special 'world-tier' magic known as 'the dusk of harmony'. The result of this magic would dissolve every race into their purest essences known as 'aspect' and instill them within the human population. The humans were the best choice as their numbers were numerous and form was similar to most races. As such, the various races of this world managed to save themselves in essence and soul only, though perhaps there was no other choice. With the various humans now carrying the weight and aspects of those who came before, life has continued onto the modern age. Yet, even amongst these hybrids 'Pures' emerge from time to time, beings who have inherited not only aspects of the ancient races, but their forms too. These Pures are often times exceptionally talented and seen as near deities. This is the story of a perculiar boy who is born with the soul of a stranger from the world known as 'Earth'. With the memories and soul of a human, he too is a rare Pure; a pure human. --- This project literally has no purpose and is being written because I felt like it. There isn't any semblance of a solid direction nor have I thought about any characters aside from the main character and a few auxiliary cast. If you would like to contribute to building this world with me then please contact me through a DM or by leaving a comment, I will be sure to credit you.
