《The Secretary》Justice Jay
Advertisement
The little girl took a seat in the back corner, away from Danneel and Jensen. Danneel stayed standing, not even bothering to look at you.
"Jensen, we need to talk." Danneel said. She looked at the little girl, who was staring at the floor, fiddling with her fingers.
"Jensen, this is your daughter, Justice Jay." Danneel said. "Jj, come here." Danneel said, holding out her hand to the girl.
Jj stood up, her hair hiding her face. She slowly walked to Danneel, grabbed her hand and hiding behind her mother.
"I have a daughter?" Jensen asked, I could tell he was skeptical.
"Yes, you do. I brought a DNA test to prove it if you don't believe me." Danneel said, reaching into her purse and pulling out a DNA test.
Danneel took out some scissors and cut one single strand of hair off of Jj's head, and stuck it into the test, then handed the scissors to Jensen.
He cut his hair and stuck it into the test. We waited for a few minutes with a very awkward silence filling the air. The test beeped.
Positive.
Jensen has a daughter, and her name is Justice Jay.
"Y/n, can you and Justice excuse us please?" Jensen asked quietly, business like almost.
"Yes sir." I said, looking at Jj. She looked at me, reaching for my hand. I grabbed her little hand, and lead her to my office, pulling up a chair for her behind my desk.
She was quiet, and sat in the chair almost silently. I turned to my computer.
"Do you like to play video games?" I asked her.
She nodded her head.
"What kind of games?" I asked.
"Um, my mom said not to talk to strangers." She said quietly.

"Oh, well then. I'm y/n l/n. Who are you?" I said.
"My name is Justice Jay. But my mom calls me Jj for short." She said.
"Nice to meet you Justice." I said.
"You can call me Jj. You seem like a nice person." She said.
"Thank you. I'm sure your very nice." I said, giving her a warm smile.
"I guess were not strangers anymore." She said.
"Nope." I said, popping the p.
"I really like to paint." She said.
"Me too. I have a game in my phone that you could play on and color things. Do you wanna do that?" I asked her.
"Sure." She said. I pulled out my phone and opened the app, handing it to her.
She became intrigued in the game, and started coloring a flower.
I turned back to my computer and started going through the emails and listening to voicemails from the phone on the desk top.
"Y/n?" Jj's voice said.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"Do you have any animals? Like a pet?" She asked me.
"Yeah I do. I have two dogs, and a red macaw." I said.
Her eyes grew wide. "Can I see?" She asked.
"Sure." I said, grabbing my phone from her hands to pull up the pictures of my dogs.
(Shep^)
(Andrea^)
"These are my dogs, Shep, and Andrea." I said, showing her the pictures.
"What about your macaw?" She asked.
I smiled, knowing she had no idea about the bird behind her.
"Would you like to hold him?" I asked her.
"Yeah, but I don't think my mom wants me to leave." She said.
"Don't worry, we won't be leaving." I said, getting up and walking to the cage in my office. Jj followed close at my heels.

I removed the sheet off the cage to reveal a beautiful, big, red, blue, and yellow bird.
"This is Joker." I said, opening the cage and letting Joker fly onto my shoulder.
Jj's eyes were wide, and filled with excitement.
"Do you want to hold him?" I asked her.
She nodded her head quickly. I held my arm in front of Joker's talons, and let him walk onto my arm, and gently set him on Jj's shoulder.
"You can pet him, he won't bite. He is a very good boy." I said to her.
She lifted her hand up, letting her fingers graze over his soft feathers. She giggled when he spoke.
"Can Joker have a cracker?" He asked. Jj looked at me. I grabbed a cracker and gave it to her, letting her feed it to the bird.
Joker took bites of the cracker, careful of Jj's little fingers. Jj giggled and the smile on her face never left, that is until Jensen's door opened.
"Whatever Jensen. I just can't deal with her anymore, I need you to take her so I don't have to see her. If you don't then she is going to an orphanage. I don't care. I can't with her, I have to much to do already. I already have enough with my business, and she just gets in the way." Danneel said as she stood in Jensen's doorway.
"Mom?" Jj whispered, her little voice breaking at her mother's words.
Danneel turned and looked at her daughter in disgust. "What the hell is that thing on your shoulder? Get it off."
"His name is Joker, and he is a red macaw. And no, I'm not taking him off, he's my friend." Jj said, crossing her arms.
"Whatever. You live with your father now anyways." She said, pulling a few bucks out of her purse and throwing it on my desk.
"There's your payment for not doing your job you pest." Danneel said, and stormed out the door.
Jj started to cry. She doesn't realize what just happened. I realized.
I got down on my knees, and pulled her into a tight hug, Joker moving on top of her head, using his wings to try and wipe away her tears.
Jensen came out of his office, looking tired and exhausted. He rubbed his hand down the side of his face, and then curled it around the back of his neck.
A few tears slipped down his face as his eyes met mine, and we both knew what each other was thinking.
Danneel just abandoned her daughter.

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.

A ragtag assemblage of adventurers, scraped together by seeming circumstance, investigate the theft of an ecologically essential artifact.

Based on a homebrew Pathfinder campaign begun several years ago, and still running. Faeos is one part combat, one part character building, and one part entirely justified silliness. Blame any lead character weirdnesses on my players, whom I love. Blame everything else on me. Oh, and yes, this should also be tagged "Unreliable Narrator."
