AMSL Ch: 13
To most kids—to most ten-year-olds—five weeks felt like an eternity. Five weeks was enough time to meet somebody and become best friends with them.
It was also possible for the opposite to happen, but children weren’t known for holding onto grudges…. Right?
“Hey, Harry, is it just me, or does your cousin look extra murderous today?" Luke casually leaned over and asked his friend in a whisper. Said boy looked up from his nearly completed worksheet in front of him, took on...

Dwarfs were real—I meant Stone Kin. Shoot, that sounded bad even in my head; I was going to need to change how I referred to them fast.
It sucked because I was conditioned to call them that, thanks to all the fiction from my previous life, but at least my Tolkien fantasies were alive again, even if I could never use the term dwarf again— Probably for the best, really.
Regardless, I could hardly believe I'd been reborn in a fantasy world and forgot to ask if other races than hu...

Darrius' Point of View:
Silvia and I lie silently next to one another, neither of us being able to fall asleep. We were both waiting for the other to bring up what happened during dinner, but there was only silence between us.
Leaning over, I wrap my arm around my wife and pull her in close. I feel her warm breath against my bare chest, and for a brief second, everything is right with the world.
But my warm embrace doesn't stop her from staring silently at t...

Sorry for the silence; I've been struggling to write the next chapter and started to spiral a bit. However, instead of falling into that trap again, I'm reaching out to you, my readers, for help.
First, I'm going to do my best to explain my problem, and I'd very much appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Now that the story is transitioning back to Spotted Creek Village and the wider world, I'm finding that I have no recollection of several things. Understandably, it's been year...

Please read Ch: 122.1 and the notes at the bottom first before voting. But basically, for those of you caught up with Magis-Smithing, what do you think of my writing style?
Which do you think feels better to read? Should I return primarily to Aaliyah's point of view, or should I stay in the third person, like during the winged serpent fight and AMSL?

Luke Walker wasn’t one to brag.
Sure, he liked to lord certain things over his little sister.
And maybe he preened every time his parents said something good about him in front of their friends.
Then there was how he enjoyed being the smartest kid among his peers—
Okay, so Luke had his quirks; nobody was perfect. But that didn't take away from his pride in his plan's success.

“No!”
“That’s horrible!”
“What a bunch of butt-heads!”
Luke momentarily lost his cool and smiled. It was uncalled for in their situation, but he couldn't help it. Hailee's last exclamation was just too cute. Luke’s little sister only used the term butt-head when she was describing somebody she absolutely couldn’t get along with, and it was the closest thing she knew to swearing.

The rest of Luke’s first day of school was utterly boring compared to the first half.
Though, it was probably a good thing nothing else had popped up because Luke wasn’t sure if he could handle another Earth-shattering revelation or cosmic backhand to the face. He had learned the energy inside him was magic and that he was living in some sort of Harry Potter universe. That would be a big enough revelation by itself, but it didn’t end there.

No plan was perfect, and Luke didn’t even have that much.
He was supposed to watch Harry from a distance, not interact with him directly. But, however cheesy it may sound, something in Luke refused to sit by and watch what was about to happen, and with it, all his hastily formed plans over the last few hours, were thrown out the window.
But in that moment, none of that mattered; all Luke could think about was helping Harry.

AMSL Ch: 7
Because of his plethora of memories, many things no longer excited Luke. Visiting new places and experimenting with his powers excited him, but both came in second to spending time with his family.
School wasn't exciting, even in his past life; that went doubly so since he regained his memories—not until now.
Luke felt a bubbling sensation in his chest as he stood in front of his bathroom mirror. He spun in place, taking in his entir...

I knew it was dangerous, but I was starting to get my hopes up.
After a few hours of searching and prepping what little I had and a lot of cutting on Tabitha’s part, my stack of roots had quadrupled in size, and everything was essentially ready. I had fuel, a forge, a crucible, a workstation, and metal to work. All my tools might as well be on another planet back in the village, but I wasn't focusing on that now.
It was all well and good planning...

“Luke…. Luke…. Luke,” A hauntingly cheerful voice grew louder the longer he ignored it. “Mom says it’s time to get up.”
Cracking a single eye open, Luke peeked at his smiling sister standing over him before grunting and turning over to hide his face.
Not one to be ignored, Hailee ran around his new bed, only pausing a second to glance at the framed picture of Luke holding her as a baby, sitting on his nightstand next to a...
