    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXVI By X The sun’s light could have dimmed, and it would have been less heart-wrenching than witnessing the brilliance of Q’s feather fade. What did it all mean? The Great Mother said he was “alive” in her cryptic ways, but with his light gone, did that mean… I couldn’t bring myself to finish the thought. The unknown was a terrifying abyss I couldn’t bear to explore. “Jacob…” Clutching the feather tightly, I

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXV By X It would be an understatement to say there was a whirlwind of craziness following Zac’s miraculous resurrection. And if I’m being honest, I needed the crazy to keep my mind from delving too deep into the worst-case scenarios concerning Q. I barely got a chance to ask Iythaeryn about Q because he and Ms. Cynthia were called away soon after sharing a warm embrace with the boy of the hour. They promised to check in on

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXIV By X There was a stillness in the air that, for a moment, masked the depths of our despair. But then, the explosive news of the tragedy tore through us like shrapnel, plunging us into a state of profound sorrow. No one felt it more acutely than Ms. Cynthia. Sunny and I were devastated, especially Sunny, but Ms. Cynthia had been tasked with delivering the tragic news and watching as her words tore us apart. I've known f

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXIII By X Every moment was an eternity, as if time had all but stopped. Not five minutes ago, I had been lecturing my would-be robbers about proportions, and now I was on my knees, my mind a whirlwind, watching what remained of him slip through my fingers. The fine, crystalline sand felt coarse, like sandpaper against my skin. I couldn’t take my eyes off the white, granular specks as I pressed them between my fingers, relivin

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXII By X “Wait…you’re gay?” Aaron exclaimed. I spent nearly an hour detailing my background, telling Aaron the unvarnished truth about myself, and that's what he decided to focus on—the least interesting thing about me. “Seriously?” I was tempted to slap Aaron to knock some sense into him. “All that shit I just told you, and that’s your first question?” “I mean, yeah…” He was astonished, but for all the wrong reason

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXI By X “Peas.” I vaguely remember moving to the table, but I don’t remember sitting down. There was a plate full of food in front of me, but I had no idea how it got there. From the moment Aulus and Kaylec appeared, I slipped into a thick fog of hazy thoughts and semi-panic. I was physically present, but mentally, I was having an out-of-body experience. Smiles flashed around me, and words were spoken, but it was as i

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXX By X It was foolish of me to believe that if I didn’t acknowledge them, I could pack in peace. The bickering intensified as Sunny strolled in, flopped down on the spare bed, and flipped through a comic book. Zac continued his passionate plea, but I couldn't tell if he was directing it at Sunny or me. Regardless, I kept darting back to my dresser for more clothes, trying to tune out the escalating tension. It took a f

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXIX By X Dawn snuck up on me before I knew it. The first rays of morning light pierced through the cloudy sky and splashed across my eyes. It was like I was being watched from on high – perhaps being judged for my nocturnal activities. Was my judge, juror, and executioner out there somewhere waiting to balance the scales of justice once again? I suppose that could pose a real problem - if I believed in any of that nonsense. U

    The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXVIII By X "Arsen? Sunny repeated, looking at me sideways. "Your friend Arsen? Seriously? You called him too?" “I didn’t!” I insisted while rubbing Arsen’s back. “And all over my shoes, too!” Sunny complained as he pointed at his not-so-shiny shoes. “Oh, stop your whining!” I blasted back. Raising my hand, I released a stream of Askyli toward his shoes and pants, changing them to a better-than-new state. “Happy?”

    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

    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

    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?
