Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people. He just doesn't get involved. As a writer for the Indiana Daily Student, he's built his life on observation-clean, precise, and carefully neutral. Until one late night, when he answers a simple AI prompt and creates something he doesn't expect: An ideal. Calm. Consistent. Someone who stays. He closes the tab and forgets about it. The next day, he walks into a café and meets him. Owen Maverick Turner isn't loud. He doesn't try to impress. He doesn't interrupt. He just... stays. And somehow, without even realizing it, he becomes everything Ivan wrote down that night. What begins as coincidence becomes pattern. What feels manageable becomes undeniable. Ivan knows how to observe. He knows how to write. But this time, he's no longer outside the story.

"Where are you going little one?" the voice in the Mage's head questions softly. He looks around, wondering if it was his inner speech who asked or someone corporeal. He's still alone, he had been, for a few days now. "North." 453 E.Y. The cloaked figure approaches the town of Bralden steadily. His eyes are aimed at the Keep on its periphery, a structure of stone walls hiding something he had been searching for. A source of more power, most likely. Mayhaps, a conduit for corruption also? Further north, to the distant Grathorn Mountains, the cliffs and crags seem to leer with the arrival of something... something other. They could only shudder in anticipation... for now.

And can Rosalind help Arzhel get over the loss of his wife without hurting him? Soon enough, the romance and tension between the two is so high, they can't help but fall for each other. ★★★ "Arzhel... Stop. It." Rosalind's voice trembles. "And, why should I?" He cocks a brow. "Because I say so, and Aelia might see." "I might love her, but she has to learn that I can love other women other than her dead mother." His eyes linger on her lips. "Oh stop it, she's too young-" Her whisper-shouts are interrupted by his soft kisses followed by a hug to her waist. "Promise me you won't ever let go of me?" "Yes, Rosa, I will not." There's a promise in his voice, something that keeps him tied to her like a string that can never tear or disappear.
