11 - How To Break Into A Hero Party

The station at Arcadia stood in stark contrast with the one at Hovelton.

For one thing, it was much larger with storeys and multiple lanes on the stretched platform. It also seemed leagues more advanced, from hoverboard racks to moving walkways that morphed and shifted, blending seamlessly on the futuristic sleek floors.

Also, the station had far, far more people.

10 - Luther Firebringer And The Party From Hell (Luther's Interlude)

Luther Firebringer was constantly assailed by incessant tufts of plume.

He was getting really sick of it.

He should have expected it coming into this party. The Azures were known for nothing if not throwing very flamboyant events and outfitting them with whatever fashion pundits decided the fabric of the season was.

Last year, it was Peluda fur and so all their parties had fea...

9 - The Party Planner's Deck

Xena didn't talk much while they were on the train.

Her eyes were fixed resolutely on the video playing on her black metal pad and Lexie didn’t mind because it gave her time to survey the environment freely without being worried she looked like a complete idiot. The train was very similar to the New York subway, except for the incorporation of glass panels intersecting the metal body of...

8 - Enemies and Allies

Xena and Lexie shot to their feet as Evan snarled, remaining in a crouch on the floor. His eyes were veined and red, saliva dripping out of his mouth. His head moved erratically from side to side, tendons snapping with each oscillation.

“Oh no.” Rose’s horrified whisper echoed in the air. She attempted to run to her son, but Aiden snagged her elbow quickly, holding her back. His eye...

7 - Plots And Plans

Lexie decided to accompany Aiden to the Healing House.

She was bored of staying home all day, and this was a chance to see if she could maybe get cell service from somewhere else. Besides, despite his [Villain] status, she wasn’t scared of Aiden. Not yet anyway. Plus he was the only one who could tell her about this world.

So she went out testing her phone to see if she could get ...

6 - Bound Vs Unbound Magic

Lexie woke up the next morning to the scent of freshly baked bread.

Who’s baking? Neither of her parents cooked. Her father attempted sometimes, but her mother had a famous hatred for cooking ever since she worked as a fry cook at a fastfood restaurant to put herself through college.

Maybe it was Logan experimenting in the kitchen again but usually her brother’s food ex...

5 - The Pre-Awakened Hero

A while later, after Lexie confirmed that her health bar was full and there was no lasting damage, she got off the couch and peeked into the kitchen, where Aiden seemed to be brewing the most complicated tea imaginable.

He had about six different mortars of ground herbs and he kept scooping a pinch here and a pinch there into the two different mugs of steaming water, swirling and then tas...

4 - Lexie Vs The Ghoul

Lexie instantly flung one of the kitchen knives at the intruder without wasting any time even looking at what it was.

And then as the knife whizzed through the doorway without the sound of impact, she shifted to the side to take a peek.

Nothing was there.

Through the open doorway, she only saw a manicured lawn with trimmed hedges and her neighbor's cottage in the distance.

3 - The Unstable Dungeon

Aiden Sparrowfoot watched as the dark swirling mass continued to grow in the air, whistling louder with each passing moment. The portal, like most dungeon portals, was dark and crackling with chaotic energy that thundered through the air. Unlike most other dungeon portals though, there wasn’t a surrounding insignia that represented a seal.

Aiden released a heavy sigh.

The squattin...

1 - Everything Was Fine

The universe sent Lexie signals all day. Subtle hints of the danger to come.

Unfortunately, she would only realize what they were after it was too late.

Right now, she tried unsuccessfully to clear the dots in her vision as she blinked at her laptop screen, interrupted by panicked conversation surrounding her.

“Oh shit, oh shit!” The quivering voice of her classmate seated...
