26.2 SON OF A GOD 2
This must be what Jester meant when he said that I should think about what I was getting into by dating him.
I suppose, for most people, learning that your boyfriend’s father was some evil overlord who was responsible for the universe-altering disaster that had caused so much carnage that six hundred-odd years into the future, everyone is still suffering from the consequences, would be sensible grounds for breaking up with him. And Jester is expecting—or hoping?—I would choose to do that. Probably for some reason like it being safer for me or some similar shit.
Yeah, fat chance.
I became his girlfriend barely three hours ago. I’m not letting go so easily.
I told him as much.
“Alisa,” he said, giving me one of his signature scowls. It’s been getting easier for me to decipher what those minute changes in his scowling face mean—to the usual observer, they would all look the same, but for someone who&rsqu

I Make My Own Happy Ending 27.1 THE MORNING AFTER
I woke up at the crack of dawn despite going to bed past midnight. Usually, lack of sleep would make me grumpy, but not today. No, to me, this morning seemed incredibly beautiful. Of course, nothing could compare to the beauty of seeing Jester at my door, waiting for me as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He was already dressed in his uniform like I was, and though I’m sure he must have slept less than I did, he looked sharp and fresh. Like a polished knife, glinting in the sunlight.I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his lips. “Good morning,” I said brightly.“Good morning,” he replied, a lot less brightly, though he returned my kiss. He pried my arms from around him, and Jester gave me the first scowl of the day—it just made him all the more adorable in my eyes. He really can’t look ugly, no matter how much he scowls or glares at people. “You are incredibly cheerful this morning.”&

“You are moody,” Jester observed as they walked towards the Commander’s office after being called for. The little ball of sunshine that had given him a kiss this morning now looked like a storm cloud ready to strike. “It’s only been twenty minutes since I left you alone, and you’re already scowling. Careful now, or the others will think I taught you that.”Alisa sighed. “It’s not your fault. It’s because my brother is such a jackass.” And she proceeded to tell him why.Apparently, Spencer (Jester vaguely recalled the young man with an easy smile he had met when they captured Hogar) had been in Hong Kong for the past week. Instead of staying in the family residence, or crashing with his sister (which he usually does, according to Alisa), he had booked a hotel suite on the other side of the city, and hasn’t called or messaged Alisa since Gillespie un-Lar. She could understand if he wanted to stay wit

“Killed?” Alisa repeated. She could feel he was telling the truth through her Gift, and she could also feel the regret and guilt that came with it. It was probably why she wasn’t as horrified as Jester expected her to be. Alisa could sense there was more to the story.I knew she wasn’t faint-hearted, thought Jester, or maybe she just knows too well that things are never as they seem. Her father on the other hand…He glanced at Gregory Vega. The man’s stern blue gaze felt like the cold blade of a knife pressing at his throat. Jester had a feeling Gregory’s dislike of him had less to do with the fact that he had just confessed to a murder (one of several, really, but his other sins can wait), and more because his daughter seemed to actually be sympathizing with him instead. He probably also hasn’t forgotten how Jester had whisked away said daughter from their fight yesterday and became her emotional support while he remain

“There’s only one way to find out for sure,” said Jester.I watched as his fingers pinched at the cover of the diary and pulled. I thought he was going to actually rip off the cover. There was a dull flash of light, and he continued to pull on something only he could see, as if he was peeling off clingwrap. There was a small popping noise, and the diary suddenly snapped open. “April 5, 368 AI,” a cool, female voice murmured and I nearly jumped out of my skin. The diary was floating in front of Jester, the pages turning along with the voice as if there was actually someone who was reading the entries aloud. Now, I am not someone who spooks easy, but I got shivers imagining that the ghost of the previous owner—instead of a spell, as Jester soon explained—was doing that.“…told Aurelius not to wander around that area. I told him so many times! And yet what does he do? He went to the caves again, and this

Jester dropped us off at the terminal. Freya got out first, saying something about clearing the way with security as she eyed the gathered reporters outside with disgust. I was used to being swarmed by the media so I wasn’t too concerned, but I did appreciate her giving Jester and me a few minutes of privacy.“I’ll be with you as soon as I can,” he told me, brushing my cheek lightly with his fingers. “Until then, don’t go anywhere without Freya.”“Of course,” I said, smiling reassuringly. “I’m more worried about you. What you’re going to do—”“—is necessary,” Jester finished, and there was that determined look in his eyes again, and I knew that nothing I say will change his mind. “And you’re risking wrinkles by worrying about me. I will be fine, no matter what happens.”I wanted to argue, but what could I say? My boyfriend is a bad-ass g

M’lonia is known as one of the most beautiful cities in all three worlds. It’s to be expected from the capital city of Ellenis, the Elf world, since elven culture is heavy on the aesthetics. Ellenis, as a whole, has this guided elegance, you know? But even so, M’lonia is unique. Like a forest that’s been tamed, where every tree and every shrub and every flower is placed in exactly the right spot to maximize its presence. The city sits at the bottom of a canyon, a sprawling wonder of green and gold and silver, running along the length of one of their planet’s deepest fissures like a jeweled bracelet peeking from in between the floorboards. I said it’s like jewelry hidden underground because it is a place that embodies the saying ‘more than meets the eye’. A significant portion of the canyon walls are actually hollowed out, and what seems like a roof of earth is actually ground glass, enchanted to look like dirt. From above, it would look no different from the earth surroundin

Freya knew that if she hung around with Alisa, it was possible that she would come face to face with Prince Colin sooner or later. Everyone knew that they were close. There were even those who speculated that they were more than friends. Admittedly, Freya had been one of those who initially believed those rumors. Maybe that was partly why she hadn’t been too keen on the idea of Alisa joining the Fourth. To her, Alisa Vega was both a reminder of and a connection to the elf prince and the glitzy dreamworld of the upper-class—a place out of her reach, and somewhere Freya would not belong. But then she saw with her own two eyes how madly in love Alisa and Jester were (even though he doesn’t show it much, Freya was certain the Vice-Commander felt the same way). After witnessing how Alisa broke through Jester’s defenses through sheer effort and persistence, Freya had a newfound respect for the actress. And whether she admitted it or not, she felt more comfortable around he
I Make My Own Happy Ending 30. 1 TRUE COLORS 1
Dr. Jamy Hansel sat on a bench under a small oak tree in the little cloistered garden below the hospital room where his student-assistant lay unconscious. He sat there, staring at the scuffed toes of his sneakers as if it held all the secrets of the universe and he was trying to tease them out with just his gaze. He looked so focused on whatever it was about his shoes that captivated him, that when the young man came to sit beside him, his head snapped around so fast, the newcomer flinched visibly.“You are not welcome here,” said Dr. Hansel, recognizing who it was. In a plain sweater and jeans, wearing a disguise that turned his streaked blond hair a despondent black color, the young man who interrupted his reverie sat down beside him. He frowned, perhaps unhappy that he had been taken by surprise. Otherwise, the young man looked completely unconcerned at the doctor’s evident hostility.A soft breeze lifted stray locks of silver from Dr. Hansel&rsquo
