Dash's POV
"Dash please" Shaun pleaded
"I told you no, I'm not letting her stay in my pack or better yet near my son" I growled at him now getting irritated, we've been arguing about this for hours and Angelo seems to be on his boat now.
"She has nowhere to go, you of all people know fully well that she has no family apart from Cage." Angelo stated causing Shaun to growl.
"She has us too, we are her family." He growled.
"Both of you shut up, I said she's not staying and that's final." I rubbed my temples getting a headache from them and my wolf who kept arguing with me on the same issue.
"You can't separate a son from his mother, Cage might be mad at her now but her won't be forever and how do you think he'll react when he finds out that his father kicked his mother who has nowhere to go out of the pack to heaven knows where." Shaun taunted
"Yeah, he'll hate you for sure." Angelo added.
"OK OK fine, she can stay as long as she stays away from my house, my son and me." I sighed knowing they had a valid point.
"Really!" They looked at me wise eyed.
"Yes just get out" Not needing me to say it twice they left and Scar gave me some peace. Sighing, I rubbed my temples and leaned back into my chair.
"Alpha, there's a parcel for you." One of the house helps told me when she entered my office.
"From?" I asked
"It has no name."
"OK, give it to me." I told her and she immediately put a box on my desk. Judging from the faint scent it had, it was from Rosalie.

"Open it" Scar urged as I was contemplating whether or not to open it.
Taking a deep breathe, I unsealed the box and for the lilac envelope that sat on to of the other things.
"Read it"
"I know just shut up!" I growled shutting Scar out of my head. I opened the envelope and pulled out the matching paper with her perfect cursive handwriting printed on it in her signature black ink. Sitting back in my chair I begun to read it.
Dear Dash.....
I paused laughing at the last sentence, it was true, just from the first few times I had spent with Cage, I could tell he had one hell of a cocky attitude. I continued reading the letter.
After finishing the letter, I folded it nicely and placed it in my drawer, I didn't know how to feel about it if I'm being honest, I should have been happy as she was no longer part of either mine or my sons life but I didn't fell happy in fact I was far from it.
"Don't pretend, she left because of you, my mate is gone because of you, asshole!" Scar barked before blocking me out.
I sighed getting up and leaving my office only to feel a strong impact on my cheek that landed me on the ground with a thud.
"This is all your fault!" Shaun barked angrily, his veins looking as though they would pop out of his arms and neck from the rate that was all too clear on his face.
"You are such an asshole!" He punched me again "now let me see you tell your son you separated him from his poor mother you motherfucker" he kicked me in the stomach making me groan and clench it out of pain. He tried to kick me again but Angelo held him back earning him a black eye and bruises as Shaun attacked him too. Some guards came and pulled him away from us taking him out.

"Fuck" Angelo groaned as we both got up.
Not saying a word, I went back into my office and locked the door behind me, I have to admit, Shaun's words hit me hard, harder than the punches and kick he had given me.
"I can't believe she actually left." Penelope sighed
"Don't act all devastated" Shaun scoffed under his breath but we all heard him thanks to our enhanced hearing.
"Shaun" Charlie gasped
"What" he rolled his eyes, "you know it's true, y'all gave her no choice but to leave, you treated her like shit, you made her feel unwanted!"
"Shaun" I tried
"Oh don't even Shaun me, you are too busy trying to remove the speck in her eye when you haven't removed the plunk in your fucking eye."
"She took my son from me!" I growled
"Yeah, the same kid you raped her to conceive, or did you forget that's what happened, did you forget that you raped her mercilessly, without even hearing her side of the story."
"Dude" Angelo chimed in but we all knew it was a mistake.
"You, she thought of you as a big brother that she never had and you, just like this fucker treated her like she's nothing, completely nothing, you caring now won't make the slightest difference, ever and don't get me started on you two" he pointed at Charlie and Penelope. "Yea Ros made mistakes yes she wasn't the perfect friend but can you blame her, the girl's been through shit that neither of you will ever understand, you were supposed to be there for her but no, you go on and tell her that her son is better off without her in his life, telling her she doesn't deserve to be loved when y'all know we are the only family she has ever had, that's just bitter, and now, whatever the fuck will happen to her will be thanks to your actions." He finished and left my office where all of us had gathered.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble
.. ...Every paths leads to the same destination... Five Saints, five Kings, seven Sins. One entire plane in agony. ..Chaos must reign... In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went. Cruel experimentation, the creation of monstrous creatures, the tearing apart of families and mass genocide...There were few crimes the mad Mage Kings didn't commit. As the Five Saints were summoned in desperation by the races of the world, everything was already at it's darkest hour. When the fighting was over, when the Mage Kings were gone and the Five Saints had returned to their planet of origin, a World Council was erected to keep the the delicate balance from falling apart. Many eras pass. Lyle Greyborne. Current heir to the powerful Greyborne family, the only son of Adarian and Alyssa Greyborne. With the maroon hair of his Greyborne ancestory and the exceedingly rare golden eyes of his mother's Bathory clan, Lyle's talents can only be described as terrifying. These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669

Makemake
"Makemake—a planet that is found in the far edges of the system known as Sol—was once a metropolis, like all of the other planets that populate the system. Now, like all of the others, it lies as a Sleeping City, forever dormant. No one lives there anymore—it has been vacant for years. In one of the massive cities that used to have a population that was in high numbers a sound could be heard. A distant sound. A beep, or a call, a message—whatever it was, it was an electronic noise. It echoed through the dust cloud filled landscape. The sound went on for a long time. It sat in a sea of quiet; no other noise rolled over the hills and bounced off the ground—only that noise. Only that beep."

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.
