*Knock*
*Door Open*
Alyson: “Come in.”
I follow Alyson to her room and to the bed. Despite my hesitation, Alyson pulled me to sit with her. A few minutes passed with no words flowing. Only an awkward silence filled the air. Only Alyson would have the strength to break that silence.
Alyson: “Your less…animated than usual. Did you have a bad day too?”
Nao: “…You can say that.”
Alyson: “Do want to talk about it?”
Nao: “I came here for you so lets start there.”
Alyson: “…Fine, I’ll go first.”
Alyson: *Sigh*
Alyson: “My brother got into a fight today, a really bad one. It’s partly my fault but I wish he wouldn’t put himself in these situations.”
Nao: “You’re fault?”
Alyson: “I shouldn’t have put him on the black list at the time. I was mad and…scared of Nao’s aggressive sudden improvement.”
Nao: “That’s a…bad thing?”
Alyson: “Not entirely but doing that is only going to hurt in the long run. What he’s trying is just not possible.”
Why does she keep saying that!
Nao: “Why do you say that? How do you know he’s not capable? Maybe you’ve underestimated him.”
Alyson: “I…”
She cups her and closes her eyes tightly for a moment before answering. It was at this moment that I mentally slap myself. How could I forget to swap in mind reading? Whatever, this is going well anyway.
Alyson: “I just know. That’s how he’s always been and it doesn’t make sense for him to get so good all of sudden.”
Alyson: “It just can’t be possible…”
Nao: “Do you even like your brother? Sound like him succeeding makes you mad, not a good look.”
Alyson: “…I do.”
Yeah right.
Nao: “Doesn’t sound like it.”
Alyson: “It would come off like that huh? My feelings for Nao are… complicated.”
Nao: “We got all day, I’m willing to listen if you’re willing to talk.”
Alyson: “Thanks, I…always wanted to get my feelings off my chest, to sort them, but I had no one to turn to. I’m glad you’re here.”
Me too, so I can finally get some answers.
Alyson: “Before I was adopted by Nell, I was in an orphanage that taught me how to survive. One of the biggest lessons was there will always be losers and winners.”
Alyson: “The losers inspire winners to win and if they try to win themselves…then only disaster follows.”
Nao: “Who told that bul…idea?”
Alyson: “…Someone important and I say it happen first hand. Unaware losers would only make situations worse and disappoint everyone.”
So that’s how you see me…
Nao: “I assume Nao falls under losers for you?”
Alyson: “Yeah, I figured out his place a few years after Nell adopted me.”
Alyson: “On one hand I’m proud of him for trying. Finally, he’s not a lazy waste of space. But on the other hand, I know that he’ll face disappointment if he attempts the impossible. If only he can find a balance, then we’d be okay.”
Nao: “I get that but why don’t you trust me, I mean Nao more.”
Alyson: “Because I used to know someone like Nao. Someone who wasn’t talented but tried hard anyway.”
Nao: “W-What happened to them?”
Alyson: “…They…died. No matter what happens to Nao, it can’t be worse than that.”
Nao: “…”
Alyson: “So you can see why Nao’s actions make me both proud and irritated. Then there’s the possible murder charge and…other annoyances from the past. Today is just…a headache.”
Nao: “…I…don’t know what to say.”
Alyson: “You don’t have to say anything just…help me forget about it all. Just for one night.”
Nao: “Huh?”
Before I could react, Alyson grabs my face and kisses me. She passionately makes love to my mouth while placing herself on my lap. She cups my head and increases the intensity of the kiss. Eventually though, we have to come up for air.
Nao: “Alys-”
Alyson: “Shhh, let me have this. I’ll go back to being who I’m supposed to be but for tonight, I just want to let it all go for once.”
She sticks her tongue back in my mouth and pushes me down onto the bed. Is this really about to happen? Am I about to make love to my sister? No, it’s Alphon…not me.
Wait a minute, aren’t I suppose to break her heart? Is this not a great time? But does she deserve that? Yeah, how does this even help our cause? Is Alyson really the enemy after everything I know now?
What about me? Should I really do this with my own step-sister? Do I like her like that? And if so, I should tell her the truth. I should be the one to kiss her not Alphon. But what if she rejects me like mom…
These ideas violently clash in my mind and along with the building pleasure I’ve only dreamed of…I’m blanking.
Alyson guides my hands further down her smooth body. All the way down to the place I shouldn’t touch. I…I…can’t do it!
I regretfully break our kiss and gently push her away. Despite my lower body begging me to continue, I just can’t. There’s too much surrounding this moment, corrupting it, for me to continue.
Alyson: “W-What’s wrong?”
Nao: “I-I…don’t think I’m ready for this yet.”
Alyson: “After all that flirting, what do you mean you’re not ready?”
Nao: “It’s…complicated.”
Alyson: “If you’re going through even half of what my family is going through, it’s even more of a reason. Just sleep it all away with me, just for tonight.”
Alyson straddles me again and stares down at me with moist eyes. Her clothes are disheveled and her hair is wild. Her lips are begging to hold something and it whispers for me to give it to her. This is a look that I never thought she could ever have and it’s…driving me mad.
I grab her waist and the thought of abandoning reasoning flashes in my mind. But it’s only for a moment. I lift her up and move her aside on the bed.
She’s too shocked to try to stop me. I don’t blame her, I lead her on, and when it’s time to deliver…I choked. In the end…I guess it’s a mission success…
Nao: “…I’m sorry. I don’t think this…will work. Goodbye, Alyson.”
I leave the room before she could try to convince me again. I don’t know if I can resist a second time.
I go to the front door, open and close it before going to my room. I transform back to who I am before collapsing on the bed.
Nao: “You did Nao, you just broke your first girlfriend’s heart. Can today get any worse…”
Better go to sleep before the word answers my questions. As I drift, I promise one thing to myself.
I’ll prove to Alyson that losers can win and then maybe we can go back to how we used to be. Before queens, magic and the harshness of pre-adult life.
I look at my stats and points.
Points: 6
Strength: 17.5
Endurance: 11.5
Intelligence: 15.5
Charisma: 18
Agility: 12.5
Magic: 18
…I have to take that risk. This is the first step. Add 4 to endurance and 2 to agility.
Points: 0
Strength: 17.5
Endurance: 15.5
Intelligence: 15.5
Charisma: 18
Agility: 14.5
Magic: 18
I close my eyes and rest with that promise in mind. Hopefully, I have no nightmares like last time.

Rise From The Ashes
[Perspective Shift: Nao]I wake up.But little has changed. I’m still numb from the news from yesterday. No, I’m not numb. I’m just suppressing the urge to do what must be done. I force myself up and-Alphon: “Not so fast kid, I still need to help Trevor. One more treatment should do.”Nao: “…Alright.”I give up my body and try to recollect my emotions again.[Perspective Shift: Alyson]Alyson: “Mmmmm, Nao?”Prisha: “Think again sweetheart.”…Oh yeah, we slept in the same bed. But I don’t remember being in…this position.Alyson: “Did you do this on purpose?”Prisha: “No, maybe you just needed someone to really hold. I for one have no issues.”Alyson: “Of course you don’t.”Before Prisha can get any ideas, I untangle our bodies and get ready for the day. The…very stressful day. Before freshening up and savoring the last moments of peace I’ll have, I take a look at Deanna. She does look a bit better. Hopefully, she’ll wake up soon. After enjoying my time getting ready for the day with
Emergency Notice
Notice:I know we just started but due to severe problems at home, I will no longer be able to write for the foreseeable future. I'm sorry, but I'm putting this on hiatus until further notice.

Burn and...
[Perspective Shift: Nao] Nao: “Don’t worry guys, you’re doing well.”Mat: “Says…*Pant*…you.”Velo: “Gathering mana…is…hard.”Nao: “Baby steps.”You’re sure this is the correct way to teach them?Arc: “Yes, they’re not you. They’ll need to start with meditation and feeling mana before anything else.”I didn’t think that would tire them out this much.Arc: “I hope this puts in perspective how lucky you are to have me.”Right, lucky. Nao: “I think we should stop here, it’s getting late.”Mat: “Thank you.”Velo: “Are you sure?”Nao: “Yeah, we all need to rest after all.”Velo: “…Alright, I’ll do better next time.”Mat: “Yeah m-me too.”Nao: “Great, I’m looking forward to it.”*Ding*Points: 30 Continue Teaching (+5) [Daily]Nice, that’s a nice bang of daily points. I go lay down on my bed and watch my students leave the room. Heh, students. Who would’ve seen that coming? Mat is the first to leave and Velo gave one last look before motioning for the door. Velo: “Nao?”Nao: “Yeah?”Vel
Rescue Mission Part 3
We stare each other down. Despite having the field advantage, I’m sure Vale will find a way to surprise me. I take a mental check over the magic items I have.Magic Missile Gun [9 Shots]Invisibility Cap (Tallow) [1 Charge, for 1 minute]Magic Shield Gloves (Tallow) [1 Charge]Not terrible, I can do this. Vale: “Let’s test this out.”Vale creates 2 dozen across the entire room and commands them to attack me. But due to the environment, they’re not fast enough. I raise my hand and flash-freeze them while imprisoning the main one.Vale: “Yeah, I thought so. Plan B it is.”Eira: “Watch out!”!I see a bright light burst to life behind the ice prison. Instantly, I know what he’s doing. But the target…I move in front of the wall where Victor is slumped against outside. I create several ice walls in front and activate my magic item. Tallow: “Magic Shield!” A bright blue translucent shield appears right in time for the world to turn white.Vale: “Mini-Magic Cannon.”I can’t see anything,
Rescue Mission Part 2
Victor: “We’re in, nothing weird so far.”I take a step through the door and scan the area. The inside of the building is old, dirty, and damaged. Plates, glass, and dust litter the cracked floor. Moonlight weakly slips through the windows to my sides. Chairs and tables are flipped over and scattered across the area.Victor: “Watch your step.”Tallow: *Nod*We creep along the scarce few smooth sections of the floor. My eyes dart to every dark shadow of the room. My frozen arms tremble, ready to freeze whatever may jump out to get us.Victor takes out his magic missile gun while leading me deeper into the building. Through the hallways and corridors, much of it was the same. Empty rooms, destroyed materials, and an awful smell. Probably to deter the few people snooping around.I know this is a temporary safe house but I can’t believe this place has the materials necessary to keep Trevor alive. That was until Victor brought us to a seemingly normal door. He looked back at me and nodded
Rescue Mission Part 1
*Knock* *Knock*Nao: “…Huh?”I look at the clock, I notice that it’s 7:30 PM. Not an awful time to wake up. I hope this is worth it.I look at Alyson’s cute sleeping face.Nao: “I’m glad you still have that same look while sleeping.”I kiss her cheek before getting out of bed and opening the door. At the doorway is Mat who tries to say something before seeing Alyson’s sleeping figure.Mat: “Bro, did you-”Nao: “No.”Not yet.Nao: “What’s up?”Mat: “I wanted to tell Alyson that Victor is back with the info we need. I was going to tell you afterward but since you’re both here…”Nao: “Okay, I’ll tell her. Is…Tallow still insisting on being the only one going with Victor?”Mat: “Yep, it’s times like this where I feel the most useless.”Nao: “I’m…sorry. I wish I had more artifacts for you.”Mat: “It’s fine, I’ll just continue spreading the message online. It’s all me and Velo can do after all.”Before I could say anymore Mat closed the door. *Sigh*I look back at Alyson’s sleeping figure
