I'm glad you were able to reconnect with the story 😁

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XLIII By X I couldn’t believe it was happening again—first Naveyk and now Skailer. Why was I drawing this kind of attention from the gods? I was just a kid from a quiet corner of Maine, for crying out loud. Sure, life had taken a sharp turn, and I’d ended up being more than just “a human kid,” but still, the point stands. I wasn’t any more special than the next Skai. Yet there I was, once again staring down the divine gaze of

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XLII By X “Jacob.” My name echoed in my ear like a bell that wouldn’t stop ringing, followed by a stinging sensation on my cheek. For the briefest moment, I felt displaced, as if body and mind were separated, and I was desperately trying to pull myself together. “Jacob!” The ringing in my ear got louder, and then my world began shaking as if I were standing in the middle of an earthquake. I gasped. My eyes

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XLI By X I was crushed. The eyes looking back at me did not belong to Q. Though stunning in how they seemed to pull you in, their dark hue was a sharp contrast to the brilliance of the two silver droplets I was accustomed to. Yet, there was something oddly familiar about them, as if I saw them in a dream I could vaguely recall. The handsome face, though younger, shared many of Q’s sharp features as if Q was used as the model t

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XL By X As I watched my colorful cast of friends pile into the spacious SUV, I quickly realized that, if nothing else, it promised to be an interesting evening. Although I believed keeping Sunny’s invitation to the festivities a secret wasn’t the best idea, I let Arsen have his way and prayed it wouldn’t blow up in our faces. Arsen got behind the wheel, and I rode shotgun just like in the old days. It felt familiar. For a mome

The Brotherhood series will have 3 books.

Honestly, after 56 chapters, I still can't say. I'm just letting the story and the characters take me where they will. Don't get me wrong, I know how it all ends, it's just a matter of connecting all the dots to get there.

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXIX By X “Unless I’m mistaken, this is one of Qua’quelle’s,” The Great Mother said, tracing her finger along the length of the white feather. “It is,” I confirmed softly. A faint smile touched her lips as her eyes flicked my way. “Great Mother, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Arsen asked, rushing over to her. I was still in shock from her sudden appearance—especially with the massive doors remaining closed—so it

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXVIII By X What does he mean? How does Zac know him? Breaking free from the shackles binding me in place, I spun around, grabbed Zac, and forced him to stand behind me. “Whoa!” Zac shouted as I pushed him back. “What are you doing?” “Stay behind me!” I commanded forcefully. “Okay, fine,” Zac acknowledged, his jovial tone replaced with concern. “What is going on?” “You said you know this guy,” I said, my a

The Brotherhood: Awakening Chapter XXXVII By X Being in the presence of this phenomenon felt incredible – it felt like Q. We were sharing the same space for a moment in time. And in that moment, I felt whole. I didn’t want to let go of that feeling, but I had to push it away. This wasn’t Q. It was just a memory, an echo of the man I loved. Zac was the priority; he needed me now more than ever, so I silenced the echo, forcing it to fade into oblivion. Z

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
