"What do you mean you're leaving today?" Serena asked.
"Serena, I have got work from my office. So, its urgent for me to go." I replied.
"But you promised that you will be here to see my wedding." She said.
"I know, but its urgent." I replied. I can't tell her that I am going because I can't see her wedding. Seriously, it will be hurting me to see her being married.
"But- "Calem cuts Serena.
"Serena, understand the situation Ash is into. He can't just leave his work." Calem said.
"Alright. Ash, when is your flight?" She asked.
"It's 4:30 in the evening." I replied.
"Seriously, the exact time of the marriage ceremony. That means you will be leaving from here by 3 o'clock." She said, to which I replied with a small nod.
"Alright, I need to pack my things. Need to go. Gary, if you can, help me in packing." I asked.
"OK." Gary replied to which we both started walking towards our room. I turned my head to see Serena. She seemed to be a little irritated but more like sad.
As we reached my room and started packing my things.
"Hey Ash. Which airlines it is?" Gary asked.
"Um, I guess it's Eagle." I replied.
"Wait, so you can't carry your baggage in the flight. Eagle's charter aircraft will be taking you back." He replied. Crap, I forgot about it. In the hurry of going back to Phoenix, I totally forgot about it.
"Shit, so what shall I do now?" I asked.
"Hey, don't worry. Leave your things here. I and Dawn have planned to meet you after the marriage day after tomorrow. So, don't worry. I will carry your items with me." He replied. Thank god. He's the best friend I have got.

"Thanks man." I said to which he smiled.
"By the way Ash, is it really important that you need to go. You still have a cha- "I cut.
"Gary, how much times to have to tell you the reason. You thinking that this is a story of Laila Majnu or Romeo Juliette? These kinds of things only happen in the movies. There's no way this will happen to me. And one final time I am saying it, the things are over now." I replied.
'Alright Ash. It's on your own now." He said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I guess, it's going to be time now. I should get the taxi now." I said to Gary and Drew. We were outside of the resort along with Calem and others except Serena. I guess, she's busy.
"Hey, where's Serena Calem?" Dawn asked.
"She was busy in some work with Grace. I guess, she will be arriving in 2-3 minutes." He replied.
"We don't have much time left. It's already 5 minutes late. If we goanna delay, Ash's goanna misses his flight." Clemont said.
"I guess, Ash, you should leave now. Because, Serena might come late." Drew added.
"So, what about Serena?" Dawn asked.
"Never mind Dawn. It's OK. I guess, I should be going." I replied and got into my taxi. I opened the window and popped my head out.
"Alright, guys. See you later. And Calem, take care of Serena." I said with a fake smile and closed my window. The car started moving. I turned my head towards other, who were slowly-slowly moving behind. Suddenly my eyes fell upon a certain girl with honey blonde hair. She was Serena.
"ASH!" she said while running and waving towards me. I lifted my hand for a small wave, with a small smile and then turned my head straight. I closed my eyes, remembering the times I spent with her. Tears dropped from my eyes and I closed them. I guess, that's it then.

"ASH!" I shouted while running. I could see his face in the taxi which was going away. He waved his hand a little and then turned his head straight. I just stood there, some tears felling from my eyes.
"Ash..." I mumbled.
"Hey Serena, you OK?" Calem asked while coming to me.
"Um yeah, I am fine. But he left, without saying a goodbye to me." I replied.
"Don't worry Serena, we will go and meet him after the event. Alright?" he asked.
"Alright..." I replied, while thinking about Ash. Only Ash. Why did he leave early? He was not like that.
Oh Ash......

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
