The Writer X

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXVII By X The light poured into the room, shapeless and fluid; its brilliance enveloped every inch of the expansive living room. I basked in its warmth as if sunbathing on a beach. Sunny reacted differently. "Nave..." he hissed angrily. With little regard for his safety, Sunny leaped in front of me, daggers in hand, ready to serve as my protector. "Stay behind me, Jacob." He was too cute. Like a black hole sucki

Cher, perhaps?!?

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXVI By X Things got awkward, at least for me. Eolaeis, on the other hand, continued to lather his body like he hadn’t just dropped a bomb at my feet. I wanted to know more, but I didn’t dare ask. We stood in the shower, silent and naked. Thinking the conversation had ended, I reached to turn off the faucet just as Eolaeis spoke up at last. “Do you know the chances of an El’odian conceiving twins, Jacob?” My heart dr

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXV By X My silent assailant appeared mighty pleased with himself. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to rage or jump his bones and have my way with him. His bare torso, pale and glimmering as his muscles flexed under the moonlight, made my decision easier. I wanted him. “You nearly took my head off!” I protested, pushing his blade away from my face. “You should be more careful,” Q asserted, returning the sword

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXIV By X I fought the urge to look behind me. Who’s he talking about? His eyes, a ghostly pale mint shade, stood in stark contrast to his cascading jet-black hair. They seemed to penetrate the depths of my soul, searching for something hidden. I didn’t know what else to do but allow him to continue his expedition. I wasn’t afraid, not anymore. His gaze conveyed a sense of warmth and understanding, akin to how The Gr

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXIII By X As it turns out, the unknown was not so unknown after all. I stumbled out of the portal and smashed into an unaware Sunny. We took an awkward tumble and landed on our asses. “So not Mars,” I whispered, staring at the ceiling of the gate room. “Mars?” Sunny shouted, exasperated. “What are you talking about? What just happened?” After standing up, I offered him a hand and pulled him to his feet. “My ba

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXII By X What does one say to a God? It didn’t help that he sat with his eyes fixed on me, burrowing deeper and deeper into me like a knife cutting into flesh despite the warmth of his smile. I wasn’t buying it. It was a façade. It had to be. I felt it in my gut. Maybe that was unfair of me. Perhaps he deserved the benefit of the doubt. Still, I couldn’t silence the tiny voice in my head screaming – Red Alert! Nothing go

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXI By X We all stood there, stunned. Obviously, this wasn’t who we were expecting. Whether it was a good or bad omen remained to be seen. If I were to hazard a guess, this wouldn’t end well for any of us. Especially if it was her day off. Despite being out of the office, Ms. Cynthia maintained an air of professionalism in her black, knee-length skirt, paired with a single-button black blazer and a deep burgundy blouse.

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XX By X The four shadowy spheres brimmed with dark Skylarian energy. There could be no doubt these were my people. I did not fear them, but I confess, I was apprehensive. Not for myself, of course. My concern was solely for Q and Soullen. What if they had detected my little outburst and perceived it as a call for help? Perhaps they saw themselves as the calvary coming to the rescue. That would be the best-case scenario. I cou

😆 I'll see what I can do.

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XIX By X Despite appearances, Q can be an absolute sweetheart. The boys had returned to awkward silence. I was looking out the window, observing Zac from the sideview mirror, and thinking of ways to get them talking again when I realized the mall exit was coming up. Q blew right past it. I don’t know why, but he deliberately missed our exit. I looked at him and gestured out the window as if to say, “What gives?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😁

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XVIII By X The endless spiraling ceased when my feet touched “ground,” although there was nothing visibly solid beneath me. There was nothing visible at all. The space around me was consumed by a black haze, making it impossible to see my hand in front of my face. I knew this place. That’s to say, I knew who dwelled there. I had no doubt my shadowy host would make an appearance before long. “Hello?” I shouted. That w

I replied to your email. Well, I'm hoping you're the same Tom, lol.

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XVII By X It was a perfect night. That thought echoed in my mind as I soared back to The Club through the night sky. Using the gate would have been faster, but I wanted to savor the moment. I darted in and out of the clouds, frolicking in their mist like a child splashing in the waves on a beach. It was silly, really. Q was miles away, yet I felt him all around me. I felt the tickle of his feathers on my skin as if I were st
