Chapter 13
Leo got his daughter back and when she woke up she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She cried tears of joy seeing him again, apparently she was smart just like he was and had noticed that the famous rich guy had the same eyes she did. So she put two and two together and knew immediately. Unfortunately for her, her mom wasn’t having any of it and restricted her from contacting him.
After the hug Sara turned and hugged Chaos as well.
“Thank you for taking me to my daddy.” She smiled as she beamed at god.
“It was a pleasure young lady. Now be sure to behave and to take care of your daddy. You hear?” he said to her in a grandfatherly tone.
“Yup!” she cheerfully said.
As they began walking away Chaos called out.
“Wait! I forgot something.”
Turning around Chaos had a key in his hand and passed it to him.
“Take this and go to the address. You’ll find all you need there.” Chaos said as he turned and walked the other way.
Leo nodded and then left with his daughter and headed home with his guards, who by the way were oblivious of Chaos making Sara appear out of thin air. On the way home he hugged and told Sara how much he loved her and how he was so happy to have her back. She just cried and stayed in his arms and together they just hugged each other.

Back at home Sadia was cooking, even with all the money in the world, one thing she loved to do no matter what was to cook for them. Leo had let her know that his little girl was coming home and that they’d finally meet. She was ecstatic that the day had finally come, where she would finally become part of Leo’s family. Even though he’d repeatedly told her she already was, this was the last thing she needed.
As she was about to put her lamb into the oven she heard the door open. Her heart skipped a beat as she thought to herself, ‘Todays the day!’
Hurrying to put the food into the oven she heard them walk into the kitchen.
“Hey beautiful, I want you to meet someone.”
Turning around Sara saw maybe the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen. With the bronze skin that seemed to shine, hair that was tied perfectly, and eyes that made her feel safe, Sara immediately liked the woman.
“Sara meet Sadia, my girlfriend. Sadia meet my daughter Sara.” Leo introduced.
Sadia trying not to seem rude stuck out her hand to shake Sara’s hand but instead got a hug instead. Sara hung tightly around her neck and whispered into her ear, “Thanks for taking care of dad.”
Sadia choked up when hearing this while Leo on the other end had something in his eyes and had turned around. After a few seconds of quiet happy tears Sadia told them that dinner would be in a few minutes.
That night the three of them had their first family time in a long time. It was also when Leo told the two of them the truth, the truth about everything. Including who the man was, the wishes he had that were useless now, and the future. He told them about his duty now, he had to raise an empire or have all of creation fall to the invaders that were not even from their tree of the multiverse.

At the end of it all Leo was drained, Sadia wasn’t sure, and Sara thought it was all just a story. After they talked they decided it would be best to sleep on it and see how things were in the morning. That night Sadia had a dream, not one of the many nightmares with Yusef that she still had. No, this was her first encounter with a god. As she slept something pierced her veil of sleep, appearing through the darkness was an old man in a robe.
“Hello Sadia.” Chaos greeted.
“Who are you?” She asked.
“I have many names, I am the source, the origin, and the creator.” He said.
“Then you are..?”
“Yes I am, but that is not why I am here. I am here to tell you that Leo wasn’t making a story up and that he will need your help.”
“My help? How can I help Leo? He’s a genius, I’m just a lucky woman.”
“Whatever you may think of yourself it does not equate to what he thinks of you. He will need your help, not to assist but to keep him straight. Without you I fear he will succumb to the vices of power. You will be there to keep him straight.” Chaos explained.
Sadia after the last several years had always remained on the side, never feeling it was her place to share the limelight with Leo. Although her life had done nothing but improve once she joined Leo, she felt obligated to give him herself in as many ways as she could. With Chaos’ words however she finally realized her position and finally felt that Leo wouldn’t toss her aside at a moment’s notice anymore.
“I see now what you mean. I will do all I can to help him, not because you’re ordering me to but because I love him.” She told him.
“Good. Now a fair bit of warning, the worlds you will visit will not be nice. So start combat and weapons training as soon as you can.” Chaos smiled as he faded away into the blackness.
The next morning Leo woke up to a serene Sadia sleeping next to him. He always enjoyed waking up to her warm body next to his, but today he had something to do. His first objective was to go in search of the address Chaos had given him. Leo called up the head of his security division and ordered a full detail in search of the address. Three minutes later he’d gotten all the information he needed on the place, then another fifteen minutes until they began driving. Took them an hour but once they were there Leo was slightly disappointed. The building looked like a giant warehouse and in front of the building was a for sale sign.
‘What is the plan Chaos?’ Leo wondered as he looked at the building.
His security detail led him to a door where there was a note.
‘Thumbprint Reader, Get your Boss.’
Chuckling at the note Leo pressed his thumb against the door and ventured in.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.
