Benjamin and Alexander continued talking for a while as they drank the Whiskey for a few hours until the first guests seemed to leave, so Benjamin, of course, made an effort to say goodbye to them. Soon, it was also time for Alexander and his family to leave, and around the same time, Samuel also decided it would be the right moment to head off. "Well, I’ll see you tomorrow at 11 then," Samuel said with a smile before he made his way over to the Uber that would bring him to the train station, and…-

Everything around Benjamin was as if it was disappearing as he entered a daze caused by the immense pain in his arm. As he grasped it and spasmed up, the feeling of his fingernails boring into his skin was actually something that relieved his pain. But he had to ignore it for now as he stood back up and looked at Michael who already managed to regain his consciousness after being hit by Benjamin. "You... have to leave..." Benjamin muttered out and kneeled in front of Michael on the ground, staring deep…

"Samuel, nice to see that you made it!" Benjamin exclaimed before the young man smiled and greeted Benjamin as well. "I wouldn’t miss it. How are you?" "I’m pretty good, thanks for asking." The old man answered before Samuel nodded. "I was told you have a few apprentices in the game now?" Surprised, Benjamin nodded in response. "Oh? Yes, I do, but how do you find things like this out?" "I have the best source there is, don’t I?" Samuel said with a laugh, referencing a certain almighty…

After the initial guests arrived, more and more people started showing up, and Benjamin spent some time socializing with them while at the same time taking care of the food. For the ribs, he only needed to check on them every half hour and cover them in some of the barbecue sauce, and since everything else was finished, he just needed to grill everything else, distributing everything left and right regularly. And while he wasn’t doing that, he talked to some of his old friends and people from all…

"Whoa, Grandpa, I had no idea you had so much booze here!" Benji exclaimed in surprise as he looked around at the bottles and barrels filled with beer, wine, or whiskey before Benjamin sighed loudly. "It’s not ’Booze,’ some of this is expensive stuff. I made a lot of this myself, but alcohol like this is one of my favorite things to collect." He explained, crossing his arms proudly. "Huh, gotcha... That’s why you didn’t want Dad and Uncle Nats down here? Afraid they were gonna get drunk?"…

After hearing these two stories from Xenia and Brody, the group moved on to other topics, although Eisen quickly remembered something when Xenia told her story, looking over at Bree who seemed to think the same. "You’ve got it with you so that it can’t be stolen, right?" Eisen asked, and Bree swiftly nodded, rushing over to the backpack while the others looked at the both of them confused, before Bree took out a soccerball-sized crystal sphere with different carvings all over it, while you could see…

There once was a young child that utterly despised fighting. Whenever his father, a Chinese martial arts instructor, brought him along to teach him, he instead ran back toward his mother, an African-American housewife, although he was always forced to train anyway. His father was not a kind person in any sense of the word. He was rude to the people around him, and he was violent towards the boy and his mother if they didn’t do what he wanted, although he luckily never laid a hand on the boy’s…

There once was a young child who found the wonders of the world to be indeed true wonders. Despite many people telling her that these ’wonders’ could be explained with scientific logic, she didn’t want to hear it. She preferred them to stay the impossibilities come possible since that was simply so much more fun. That was a quality she inherited from her parents. Her father is an incredibly successful author that created worlds that one wished to see with his words while her mother was a beautiful…

Slowly, Aylrentyrth the ancient gold dragon nodded in response to Eisen’s question about what the lord of this town they were currently in was like, and began telling him what he could remember. "That child was one that was quite fit for my gift. While he wanted to look deep into the existence of others, he wanted to hide his own. I could tell that he grew up in an environment opposing his inherently kind personality. So you do not have to worry about trusting him. What you should worry about is if he…

Confused, the group looked at Eisen after he revealed this fact before the old man quickly began to explain. "You see, he leaned in toward me for a second. Everyone else probably thought he threatened me somehow, but he actually didn’t. Instead, he said "We’re being watched," took a step backward, and showed me his ’Truth-Seeing Eyes’ for a split second. Surprisingly, he’s a champion to Aylrentyrth as well or at least another Gold Dragon with a similar gift." He told them before they continued…
