“No class today, kids! Go home!” said Dr. Welsh, Edward’s eccentric teacher, waving his arms at a crowd that blocked the entrance to St. Michael’s High school.
Yet the students gossiped and partied, drowning out the teacher’s voice.
“Excuse me, excuse me,” uttered Edward as he snuck into the crowd, confused about what happened. He found Macro standing idly amidst the sea of people. “Good morning, Macro,” said the boy, feeling like a stranded sailor who found a port for finding a familiar face.
“Sup.”
“Any idea of what is going on in the school?”
“The pigs closed all the public repartitions for today.”
“The pigs? How?"
“That’s thug life for cops, dude”—Macro rolled his eyes and cleared his throat—“The point is: Mayor Marchesi must be after some Glitcher or something. It is standard procedure.”
Elizabeth Shao, yet again trapped in Edward’s mind, chortled at what she heard. She explained, “It’s the infamous Marchesi Protocol—or ‘Stop and Glitch’, like we used to call it: spot a supposed Glitcher, suddenly close all the repartitions and then interrogate the public officers who already showed up. No one would bother to talk otherwise. It is one of the ways that he found to witch-hunt glitches, look,” she said, guiding Edward’s attention towards a police car that parked on the other side of the school. “They’re already getting in.”

Edward suspired. “Well, I’ll go back to bed,” he told Macro. “Have a nice day.”
“See you, dude.”
The boy left the whereabouts of the school and headed home. “Thinking about that, it’s been a while since I have seen Sophie Marchesi,” Edward remarked to Elizabeth.
“That is good. Her name made the tables.”
“The tables?”
“’People to get Mourgiana’d’. I wonder what punishment I will choose for her...”
“Seriously? You keep tables just for that?”
“I must find something to do. There are way too many names for just a list.”
“Are you serious? Who is on that list already?”
Elizabeth cleared her unexistent throat. She began, “Your sister Hermione, your mother Joy, your father because he married Joy; the landlord Mr. Mouriarty, Macro, that fat kid with a German name who squeaks when he eats; that wannabe French classmate with a bloody obvious Quebec accent; the school principal, Ms. Pershing, Brad, Brad’s jock friends, Macro again…”
“B-But that is everyone! You think all of them should get Mourgiana’d? You hate everyone?”
“Not everyone should get Mourgiana’d,” she faltered. “Dr. Welsh entertained me.”
Edward chuckled. “You are the salt of the Earth, Elizabeth.”
“I’m just British.”
Police sirens colored Edward’s pupils. “Wait, what is going on?” asked the boy, raising his head. Police cars flooded the street. Police officers stood on the sidewalks and interrogated the citizens.
“Isn’t that the landlord?” asked Elizabeth, guiding the boy’s attention to Mr. Moriarty. “Go ask him what is going on.”
Edward approached the landlord, who stared at his phone like a hungry dog faces a warm meal.
“Mr. Moriarty?” asked the boy, glancing at the police officers. “You know what is going on?”

“Hey, son. How is the arm?”
Elizabeth spoke in the boy’s head, “it only hurts when you breathe.”
Edward held his laughter and answered the old man’s question, “it’s great. Thank you, Mr. Moriarty. But can you tell me what is going on”—he glanced at two people in white vests who collected evidence from the sidewalk—“what are they doing?”
“Some people reported strange activity that could be a Glitcher.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Just be happy you’re seeing the cops, son. Only time they show up around here is to give fines and find Glitchers—”
Elizabeth bargained, “Maybe Mr. Moriarty should not get Mourgiana’d…”
“—Oh crap, I lost a match of Sweetslam!” protested the man, furiously pressing his phone’s screen. “I meant to click the purple gummy, damn it!”
“Never mind. Back to the tables he goes.”
Edward rose his head. He heard a familiar voice talking to a police officer on the sidewalk. “Wait, is that mom?” he asked, walking closer to her and listening to their conversation.
The officer wore a nametag signed with the word “Haig”. He blinked at the woman. “Maybe we can grab some coffee later today. You can get a break from the job, right?” he asked, smiling. “A break. Know what I’m talking about?”
“I’d love that—”
Edward interrupted them, “Mom?”
Officer Haig grinned and walked away at the sight of a son.
Joy, Edward’s mother, narrowed her eyes at the boy. She snorted, “What is it, Edward?”
“You’re home?”
“Yes, I am. But they won’t allow us in yet”—she gave him a box—“and that is for you.”
“Is it a gift?” asked Edward, excited.
“I don’t know, it was in the mail.”
Edward unwrapped the box and recoiled at what he saw.
“Judy Park, Hughes Road, 222. Come, Edward. I do not want to hurt her,” said a message that was written on a picture of Adela.
The boy gritted his teeth. He felt his heart pounding like a hammer. The thought of Adela suffering for him was like torture for Edward.
Elizabeth noticed his agitation. “Toothpick, wait,” she pleaded, “don’t just do anything insane—”
Adela’s voice crept in the boy’s ears. She had a phone in her left ear and said goodbyes to a friend, “Bye, I’m gonna go meet Brad right now. He’ll drive me there,” she announced.
Edward’s mind went blank. He dropped the picture and ran at the girl as she climbed down the stairs of her apartment. “Adela, we gotta talk!” he yelled, jolting his arm at her. “Adela, wait—”
Officer Haig walked between him and the girl. “Loving is setting free kid,” he mocked Edward, holding a clipboard between the hands. “Care to answer some questions?”
“I can’t”—the boy sobbed, looking at the girl as she walked around the street corner and disappeared—“I think I love her.”

Dark Lands: The Exile and the Prince
A short time has passed since the siege on Ruined Home has been lifted and as the survivors of the battered encampment slowly begin to rebuild their new home, Aurelius has returned from a failed troll hunt. Yet despite the battered prince’s failures, he has set into motion a series of events that will forever change his life. Meanwhile, Iskra has found herself at the helm of a far more favorable position and begins to forge a path that will lead her towards the first steps of a long road of revenge. Author’s Note: This is the direct sequel to the first Dark Lands story and as time goes on I will update the synopsis to help bring further detail about the story. For now however, I hope you all enjoy what is about to be written. Eight Years Arc: Eight Years have passed since Aurelius and Iskra have first met one another, and a lot has changed since then. The vast majority of Aurelius’ family has been slaughtered by the hands of none other than his oldest brother, a man that the golden haired prince had spent the past several years to hunt down and kill all in the name of vengeance. Upon his return, the kin-slaying prince has found that some things have changed during his absence. Iskra, his first wife and love of his life, has proclaimed that she no longer cares about the events that have been unfolding in her former homeland for the last several years and states that she is solely focused on raising her children. Yet it is through learning that the High Elves have taken a keen interest in the once magically-absent lands of Ranislava that Aurelius decides that action must be taken and thus he journeys south to learn more about what his distant kin are up to in such a backwater region of the world. Who he will meet and what he will do will turn the tides of fate, but in whose favor is something that only the Gods will know. (The Eight Years arc is something that was designed to be written in a way where people don't have to feel the need to go back to the very beginning of the Dark Lands story in order to know what is going on or who the characters are.)

Writing test
So... It has come to my knowledge that I need a proper synopsis to post/save this so here goes a thing: Someone dies, and what comes after seems to be like one of those myths of old where you are brought to the afterlife, except, this particular soul's afterlife doesn't seem like it will be comfortable, will it? WARNING: I am only writing this because I want to see how long I can keep writing from here and I am only posting it in RR because I like the display. I advise you do not start reading it but if you do, know that I PROMISE NOTHING. Pd: I write in the night settings so it may be needed to see.
