I enjoyed your story, @cool08. Something great happens for Samuel out of a tragic loss. I liked the intense and slightly eerie scene where he speaks to his parents while meditating and then the cold feeling comes over him. Another part of the story I really liked was how in the end Maro lets go of her grudge and decides to support Samuel instead. You could easily have ended the story after the Samuel succeeds, but I'm glad you didn't. That was a really nice addition to the story!
