Dear Mom and Dad,
I know your far away and I'm not even sure if you're still there. I found this parchment paper in a chest in the ruins. I hope you enjoy it. I found some gold doubloons so I also but them in the envelope. I've been exploring like you told me too, I miss you guys, can you come back? I'll show you all I've discovered. Did you know I found a tiny wooden wolf statue relating to the story. Are you guys scared of me? I promise I've controlled my magic now. I swear I won't hurt you guys again. I've been alone for so long, it's scary please come back. I can't talk to anyone because I'm caught up in the quest. Did you make this quest just to get rid of me? Is it all fake? Please, I'm loosing my mind, if it's only me and my magic, the house if going to get destroyed. It's not my fault I have magic, It was so pretty. Hliib . You don't understand, I'm loosing myself in the magic, it's all just me. I can't find the next clue. I think it might be inside the dog but it's so pretty. I can't just break it. Tell me what you think if you ever write back. Do you think I should go to school? I met someone of the street today and he goes to school, he's so nice, perhaps you can come back and meet him? I don't want to stuck in this adventure anymore. I won't lie I love it, but I'm craving social interaction. I won't hurt anyone, I swear. The boy on the street seems interested, I can teach him about the story, he'll love it. I hate being alone so come back please. I don't even know if it's you anymore. Maybe if you can decode this but it's very simple. Uif dspx tjut po uif gmpxfs. J'n tdbsfe. Ha ha. It's not like you reply anyways. I don't get why I'm writing this, I'm tired of your control even if you're not here, your influence still remains. Let me talk to Milo, he's so nice and perhaps I could learn something from school. Of course I know everything about history and treasure hunting but I want to learn more. Perhaps art, the carvings in the wolf are so intricate and beautiful, I want to know how to do it. Or perhaps writing so I can tell wonderful stories. I hate being stuck here, the house is covered in flowers and weeds but I'm afraid to use my magic to replace them. Milo knows about my magic, I've told him and he doesn't seem worried. He doesn't know what I can do. I want to talk to him, he's very supportive. He trusts me but I don't trust myself. Come back. Even if you won't come home, just tell me I can hang out with Milo. Even walks to the store feel lonely. Can I at least get one friend, I won't hurt them like I hurt you. I was… scared. It's not my fault, I swear, the magic is scary and I'm scared. I feel like I'm just repeating myself but I want to get my point across. I think it's the magic, it's trying to claw it's way through me. I hate it. Why didn't you cure me when it first occurred? How it's just impossible to do now. Believe me I've tried. I know the magic doesn't want to harm me, it told me that. It wants too harm you guys for trapping it in a dumb elf. Once it gets out it's headed straight for you, I need to calm it down so I need to calm down. The magic isn't scared like me, it wants to escape. I feel it getting stronger every day I'm just merely a vessel. Is this what you wanted? Your own son to be the living embodiment of the worst evil? I know you're scared of the magic but don't trap me here. I've lived so much of my life with the magic flowing through my veins and you just used me as your test subject and someone to collect treasure for you. I've sent you so much treasure and you don't even appreciate it. I'm shocked at how rude you could be to your own son. Once I send this letter everything will be off my back, I'll hang out with Milo without the guilt of disobeying you. That is why I'm writing this letter. So I don't have to listen to you anymore. Not at all. Just me. I WILL DESTROY YOU!! Sorry about that, my magic kinda went out of hand. I can't erase that. I should calm down. After I send this letter I won't listen to anything you say, it will just be all me. The magic won't burst out like that again. So goodbye. I'm destroying everything except the wooden wolf. I might need it later. So I won't ever talk to you again. Never again. I'll tell you I'm in good hands though, better than yours anyway. Milo's family is so nice just like Milo. They said I could stay at their house and they food smells sublime. Funny word, Milo taught me it. There's some proof on how smart he is. He reads books all the time. Well I Guess I'm done. I'm not coming back,
Aster

This should be in the forum board Things I'm Reading I'm Playing. Great story though

I wake up every morning in my dorm. The night before I probably would have stayed up with coffee doing my homework. I slowly open my eyes and get out of bed. I head to the fridge to see if there's anything there. I'll usually have cereal or a microwave cinnamon bun. I sit down at the table with my laptop and check if anyone liked my art post. I finish up eating and go to shower. I shower and then get changed into new clothes. I brush my hair and part my bangs, trying not to make it curl. Brushing my teeth is the hardest thing ever since I have snaggleteeth. I brush them first then attempt to fit my toothbrush into my mouth to brush the remaining teeth. I then put on my earrings and go get a drink of water. I then use my laptop to finish more homework and look at my class schedule. I watch some TV on the streaming services on my computer and then do some quick art. Then I water the flowers and the succulents and take another drink of water myself. Time to leave the dorm for class soon, I grab my backpack which is decorated with pins and put all of my books in it. It is very heavy by then but I also put it my laptop. I leave the dorm and go to my on-campus coffee shop to get an iced coffee and meet up with my friends. We drink all our drinks and chat and I tell jokes which no one thinks are funny. My iced coffee is usually halfway done and I put it in the drink holder of my backpack. I exit the coffee shop and go to my first class. And that is my morning routine - Allen

Milo and Aster are siblings. Aster isn't technically a sibling because he was adopted. Milo is very smart and loves to read but Aster needs tutoring from him. Milo is fine with this and loves to teach Aster new words who then uses them in sentences. Aster loves to brag that Milo taught him these new words whenever he uses them. They love to chat about the books they just read. Aster prefers adventure books and Milo loves books talking about history and mythology. They both love gummies and have a bunk bed so they sometimes hand gummies to each other while laying in bed.

Aster and Rain love to talk about plants with each other because they are both plant nerds. Rain is a minor character in the story and a cameo but Aster is still their friend and they founded the “I LOVE PLANTS CLUB”. Later in the story, Rain is not very important but will help with any plant related troubles. Rain's expertise is in distributive algebra and sometimes helps Milo and Aster with their math homework. Once Rain figures out Aster has magic, they don't panic like the other students and try to help contain the magic to help Aster. After that they become close friends with Aster and Milo.

Milo and Rain share a love/hate relationship. Milo didn't like that Rain would barge in to help with math homework when he could figure it out himself just fine. He also didn't like that Aster started to hang out with Rain and started nerding out about plants because Milo also had researched a bunch of plants. Rain doesn't exactly like Milo either because they think that he's being too pushy about hanging out with Aster. Even thought Milo doesn't exactly appreciate Rain, he is impressed with their math skills but doesn't say anything. When Aster's magic is released both Milo and Rain help out, and they learn that they have a lot in common. 115 words
