Chapter 3.6 Arlyn - Maybe a little too hasty

Image
She knew it was going to happen, but Arlyn still cried as she felt her grandfather pass from this world. She thought she had a few more hours, why had she decided to go fishing today of all days? She wept as she felt Silas's soul pass from this world to the next. Evelyn cried out as she watched her father shake hands with the very being he had loathed his entire life. He was older and grumpier than the last time he looked Death in the face, but he was also wiser, and knew it was his time. He'd be reunited with the woman who had been taken from him far too soon. He missed her. ___________ "You're not going to win, babe, just give up." Loki looked at Arlyn has she thought long and hard about her next move. "It's not over yet, there's still hope!" "Uh...yeah, sure." he chuckled. She was never one to just give up on anything. "Ugh! I have to be at the town hall in like 15 minutes, this sucks!" Arlyn slapped her ...

Ryan shook his head, yeah, of course they're gonna be a little strange. Vague memories came to him, jumbled and made very little sense. He had been born on Cyrene but didn't really have any concrete memories of the place. "I hope they're nice. Mom and dad are. Then again, grandpa is kind of a dick."

It was Spooky Day today,  and Arlyn had invited a bunch of her friends over for a seance. Yes, a seance. She felt a little silly, but everyone else seemed excited about it. Her parents were visiting family back on Cyrene (Arlyn had still not gone to visit, sadly), and her brother was out with on a date, so she and her friends would have the house to themselves. Therefore, Arlyn raided grandpa Silas's nectar stash (he, of course, was at the bar, teaching these 'young idiots' how to make drinks), bought a Ouija board online, a bunch of candles, and set everything up in the living room. Now she was just waiting for everyone to get here. She'd always known that she had a special gift, her visions of the future. She preferred not to look at them, though, wanting to experience everything as it happened. In fact, she hadn't let a vision come through in years, only catching snippets here and there in her dreams. But today, she wanted to find out if she had any other g...
