《The Rejected Royal》I don't Believe you
Advertisement
"He just...left..." I mumble. I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting him to get angry with me and hurt me, but he did what I asked him to. I feel a small smile come to my face. He really loves me. No! Emily no! He was just faking. He doesn't love you! You'll see, he'll come back tomorrow!
"You ok, Emily?" Brian asks from behind me.
"I'm just fine. Just a little confused that's all." I respond.
"About what?" Jessica cuts in.
"Why would Logan do that? Why would he just leave after I told him to?"
"I mean it's not like he won't come back he's surely going to come back." I answer my own question.
"I'm going to sleep." I silently walk away and into my new room. I've only been here for a few of months and it's already a complete mess.
I slowly walk towards my bag of clothes, and grab one of my pairs of Pjs. I grab a gray, loose crop top, and gray pj shorts. Not bothering to go to the bathroom, I change into my pjs.
Once I'm completely ready for bed I dramatically drop on it and cuddle into the blankets. It takes a while, but once my brain is finally ready to stop talking to itself, I fall into a peaceful sleep.
I wake up to snoring next to me. It wasn't loud, but it wasn't soft either. My eyes flutter open in curiosity to see who the owner of the snoring.
"Ahhhhh!" I almost fall of my bed once I see Logan lying down next to me.
"What are you doing here!?" I yell at him once he jumps up from the bed and does a fighting stance.
"Oh it's just you." He says in relief.

"Just me! Just me! Why don't you answer my question?! What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" He doesn't answer.
"Why in the heck are you in my bed!? Huh? I need to sleep... ALONE!!! Not with a desperate mate!!!!" I continue.
"Ooooooooo." Chase and Nicole say from the door.
"I-"
"You know what?! Just leave I don't care what your excuse is! Leave!" I cut him off. I storm out of the my bedroom and out of the cave.
"Wait for me!! You can't go anywhere without me!!!" I hear a feminine voice and flapping of wings behind me.
"Alvar!!" I yell and turn around to face the beautiful red Phoenix.
"That's me." She says cheerfully.
I chuckle quietly before remembering why I started running in the first place.
Running, that's what I've been doing for the past 3 hours. Alvar has been flying behind me, and every once in a while she tries to make small talk, but fails.
I wonder if Logan is worried about me? No! Of course he wouldn't, plus, I don't like him so why would I care?!
"You're thinking out loud again." Alvar states while gliding down to my level.
"Oh...sorry." I mumble. I'm still in human form. I haven't shifted since my wolf told me she changed. I know..I know. I thought I would've shifted by now too, but it's.....harder...somehow. And she also stopped talking to me, so it's not really like I could ask her what's up.
"Where is she?!" I exclaim. Emily's been gone for over 5 hours now. We're all getting worried...even Logan. Logan was going to go search for her, but we all stopped him, just incase he had something up his sleeve.
"I don't have anything up my sleeve." Logan states seriously once he notices me glaring at him.
"I don't believe you." I say before turning around in a sassy manner.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
