the magnum opus: an alchemist's journey to becoming great
amelia was so, so close she could taste it on her tongue. but something was still off, as it
usually was. she felt the frustration roll over her in waves, but before it could throw her off
her game, she reminded herself of how far she had come.
the sun had gone down hours ago, casting her laboratory in a combination of moonlight and
candlelight. the room was lined with shelves stacked with books, various equipment, and jars
that held all sorts of oddities. papers littered the floors (it was an organized chaos, she swore)
beakers of all sizes were scattered across her work desk, filled with liquids as black as ink or
colors so vibrant they glittered like the stars. she was hunched over her leatherbound journal
and three beakers, intently staring at her current task.
amelia thought she had it this time, but her equations were off. she ripped the page from her
journal and crumpled it up, then quickly un-crumpled in and set it to the side. it was simple
in theory, really. all metals came from one. a substance called the philosopher's stone was what
caused metals to become what they are. platinum, silver, iridium, and gold. that was what
amelia was after. she was giddy just thinking of it. the first alchemist to create the most
coveted substance in the world.
she was knocked from her concentration by a voice she new very well. "aren't you tired? it's
going to be morning soon." her brother, arden. her shoulders stiffened with annoyance.
"there's no time to rest, not when i'm this close." she turned to look at her brother, and
couldn't help but offer up a small smile. amelia could never stay mad at him. "besides, can't
be tired when i'm doing something i love."
the corners of arden's mouth quirk up in light-hearted exasperation. "is it truly love or just
an obsession?"
at that, amelia gave him a withering look and tossed a beaker at his head. he caught it and
gently set it back down on her desk. she knew he was teasing her, but she didn't know how
to convey that it wasn't just a silly obsession to her. it was passion, devotion, her life's work.
alchemy was her one true love. and once she mastered the science behind the philosopher's
stone, she would be unstoppable. but for now, maybe arden was right. her bones were aching
and her eyesight was blurred at the edges.
"you're an idiot, but sure, i'll take a break. meet me in the greenhouse for tea?"

the night sparrow: a vigilantes guide to not getting caught
it was a dark night. arden could barely catch a glimpse of the moon behind the clouds. it was
perfect weather for the task he had tonight. he was crouched among the tall ferns that lined
the main road, expertly hidden and deathly still. his black cloak and mask worked further to
conceal his identity. no one could know who he was.
a distant ringing alerted him to his target. and there, coming around the bend, was his target.
the carriage wasn't much to look at, shoddy cracked wood and old, weathered wheels. but
this was no ordinary carriage, this was a royal carriage, masked to look like a commoner's.
disguised, like him. the king was smart to hide the movement of his riches like this, but he
couldn't fool arden. the carriage was approaching quickly now, and he slowly rose in ready
crouch. as soon as it moved before him arden darted out and with a flutter of wings, he landed
on the back of the carriage so delicately his weight barely made it dip. he remained frozen
for a second, but the coachmen did not stop.
grinning a bit smugly, arden slipped a key from his pocket and unlocked the back door. the
king's precautions were no match for him. he entered unnoticed. the interior was dark, but he
could feel the chests stacked high against the walls. moving quickly now, he unlocked the
nearest chest and started carefully shoveling gold coins into his satchel. once he got his fill,
he exited as stealthily as he entered.
arden gave the carriage one last look as it disappeared into the trees. it was a dangerous game
he was playing, but he was good at it. besides, this was only the beginning. taking little things
from the king started months ago. a ornate vase here, a gilded spoon there. but he wanted
more. he wanted to make him hurt. the king was a greedy monster that didn't deserve his
position. the people of the kingdomg suffered outside his windows while he did nothing. arden
had stood by the throne and watched it happen until he had enough. his father's reign would
soon be over. he'd take more and more until he had nothing left. he would be his people's true
king, the king they deserved.
determined, arden slunk back into the shadows, back to the palace. his sister was likely still up,
running equations through her head as she chased the impossible. he sighed, knowing that he
would have to convince her to rest. she had no idea what he did during the night. no idea of
the vigilante he was becoming, and it would have to stay that way.

Sweet Valentine
Love is strange and fickle, but it runs the universe, every action can be tied to love. Greed, can be a form of love, of another or even just of money. Love runs all religions, and relationships. Your level of love for another dictates how you may view them, their level of love for you dictates how you treat them. It all comes back to love.
