"You know what's weird is that we could have met in 1864 I mean if I didn't get killed." Rosalie says as she laid in the bed and Klaus flipped the covers to reveal himself between her legs.
"Yeah, I suppose but at least I have you now." He says kiss her thigh and she giggles
"I have to get ready in 20 minutes." Rosalie sighs
"That gives me plenty of time." Klaus smirks and then disappears under the covers.

Rosalie's outfit
🥀
"Are you sure I can't drive you there?" Klaus asks
"I'm sure, I'm getting there with Damon." Rosalie says as she puts on her makeup
"Damon?" Klaus asks
"I know right. He wanted to talk to me, probably has something for me to help with Elena or something." Rosalie says.
Then Rosalie stood up and winced
"Are you sure you are okay?" Klaus asks
"Yeah, my legs are just sore." Rosalie mutters and Klaus tries to hide his smirk.
"Shut up." She scoffs
"I didn't say anything." He says innocently
"I know that look." Rosalie rolls her eyes
"When have I ever used that look?" Klaus asks
"Every time the subject of us having sex is discussed." Rosalie says.
"When and where my dear." Klaus says and she throws a beauty blender at him and slowly gets a pair of black flats
"Why aren't you wearing heels?" Klaus asks.
"Because my legs are killing me I'll put them on in the car so I just have to walk into the church with them and someone who I will be leaning on so I don't fall." Rosalie explains and then there's a knock on the door.
"Can you please answer it and if it is my brother, for the love of god be civil that's all I ask." Rosalie says and pecks his lips and goes downstairs and opens the door to see Damon

"Klaus." Damon says
"Damon." He says and Rosalie walks down the stairs
"Why do you want to talk to me?" She asks.
"I wanted to apologise." Damon says
"Did Tyler bite you again? Nik you need to heal him." Rosalie says as she checks to see if he has a temperature and Damon chuckles
"No, I'm completely fine."
"I came here to apologise because I am your eldest brother and I am supposed to stop anything from making you unhappy than stopping everything to keep you from being happy, we may not be full blood but you are my baby sister who happens to be bonded with the original hybrid and you didn't chose that and I shouldn't be blaming you for something you can't control and I should be supportive in however you want to live your life because I missed you for over 100 years and I shouldn't be treating you like this I should be treating you like a proper brother." Damon says and Rosalie looks up.
"I would cry but I just put my makeup on." Rosalie says and hugs him
"Why are you shorter than usual?" Damon asks
"I'm not wearing heels." Rosalie answers.
"Why?" He asks
"My legs are sore." She says.
"What did you do?" He asks and Rosalie looks back at Klaus and he smirks and Damon gags.
"Forget I asked."
🥀
"Okay, I have my heels, let's go." Rosalie says and they link arms and walk into the church a dip their hands into the water and make a cross and smile
"Don't know why that always makes me smile." He murmurs and they sit next to Stefan.
"She doesn't look so good." Damon says
"Maybe you should have told me she was rejecting all food sources." Stefan says

"Jealously is beneath you, brother." Damon says.
"Oh, bite me." Stefan fires back
"I will have Tyler bite both of you if you don't shut up." Rosalie says
"Wait when are you so buddy-buddy with him?" Stefan asks.
"Since he apologised." Rosalie says
"Are you sure he hasn't been bitten by Tyler again?" He asks and she smiles and holds out her finger and he taps it with his as a little high-five.
Elena nearly turns in front of the service and now they are singing and Elena feeds on Matt. Then Tyler gives his speech and gets shot.
"Completely normal." Rosalie mutters.
🥀
Rosalie was now at the grill with Matt and Jeremy
"That was insane. How do you think they'll cover this one up?" Matt asks
"Assassination attempt on the mayor's son." Jeremy says as he collects the food
"Alter boy goes postal." Matt says.
"Hey, what happened there?" A man asks motioning on to Matt's neck
"Girlfriend went a little overboard." Matt says and wraps his arm around Rosalie and the man looks over at Rosalie and nods.
Then Jeremy looks at the man and Rosalie does as well
"Nice ink." They say and walk to Matt
"What ink?" Matt asks
"You didn't see his tattoo? It was huge." Jeremy says.
"I saw it." Rosalie says
"He didn't have a tattoo." Matt says
"Yeah he did." Jeremy says
"Also, Matt do that again and I'll skin you alive." Rosalie smiles.
"Got it."
🥀
The group is all at the school as they wait for Bonnie and Damon when they see them get out their car
"Stefan, what are we doing?" Damon asks as Stefan gets out lanterns from a box and starts passing them around.
"Finishing the memorial we didn't get to have earlier, we need to start healing Damon. We've all lost so much, especially recently, we think we're numb to it. We push it away, we make a joke out of it, ignore how we feel. Never just let ourselves grieve." Stefan says.
"Wow, you both are full of amazing speeches today." Rosalie says
"So you're lighting lanterns?" Damon asks
"Yeah. Yeah, we need to do this." Stefan says to his brother.
"What we need to do is find out who this hunter is and what he knows about the death of the Council. We've more important things to doing right now than this." Damon says
"Not tonight, we don't." Stefan tells him and Damon scoffs.
"This is for my Uncle Zach, my friend Lexi, for Alaric." Stefan says and lights the lantern and passes the lighter to Matt
"This is for Vicki." He says and passes the lighter to Caroline
"This is for my dad, and Tyler's." Caroline says and she passes it to Rosalie.
"This is for Juliana, Alexandria, Shelia and Rose." Rosalie says and passes the lighter to Jeremy
"This is for our parents, for Vicki, Anna, Jenna and Alaric." Jeremy says and hands it to Damon
"Now way, I'm not doing that." He says and walks to his car and Jeremy hands it to Bonnie.
"This is for my grams." Bonnie says and Elena stands up with her lantern
"This is for my mom, my dad and Jenna. Everyone that we've lost, everyone that this town has lost. And for me...I guess." She says and they all release the lanterns.
Although Rosalie thought about the people that her lantern was for she thought about one person in particular that she didn't say.
Her mom.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Judas Valiant: Chorus of the Machine Giants
The world of Judas Valiant is bustling with Fantasy and a touch of Steampunk. This is an original tale made as an homage to the famed Studio Ghibli and Guillermo Del Toro, all-the-while taking inspirations from numerous animes and fantasies alike (Too many to love! Too many to name!). When a bloody catastrophe strikes a young boy's home, desperation brings about an unknown visitor. Plagued with gut-wrenching fear and an oncoming spiral into madness comes the boy's only hope of survival. Ripe with desperate opportunity, arrives the many-faced creature rushing to make a deal worth several lifetimes. "To find your way into your parent's arms again, you'll need to become a Valiant." He explained. "A Valiant?" I responded suspiciously. "...One must perform a 3-part task in which you must demonstrate the essence of a Mother, the essence of a Father, and earn the essence of a Gaurdian." He explained with haste. Innocently playing into the unknown visitor's tempting hand, the boy agrees to a deal hopelessly intertwined with a journey like no other and is sent to the mysterious and massive city of New Dwarden. Faced with outrageously colorful characters, towering and seemingly alien animal life, and even talking frogs-lemur's, the boy must adapt to grand adventure to complete his impossible task. This a steampunk story about a second chance at life, one that grows beyond life and death. Join me Frankie, as I guide you through the original tale of Judas Valiant: Chorus Of The Machine Giants Primarily Inspired by: Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) Dedicated To: D-Ward Special Thanks: Erick M.
