《Silvana: Queen of the Witches》Chapter 12 (A) - Back to the Grind
Advertisement
In The Hour of Jupiter, On The Day of Lucifer, the Moon a Crescent:
I awoke groggily the next morning with a start as Artie began to paw at me. I rose to my feet and inspected the sunlight flooded house with my dagger drawn as I crossed the hall and checked my parent's old bedroom. There was no sign that anybody had been there. The night's suspense must have just been my imagination after Sunday morning's encounter coupled with the chaos of the storm.
The power still hadn't come back on, so I was frustrated to realize I would need to go to work without any refreshing shower to wash off the sweat and restore my hair from yesterday.
I drove to the cafe and started to pick up the noon shift. Rene greeted me from behind the counter at my arrival. "Heeey, so nice to see you come out this weekend!"
"Yeah, it was fun. Thanks for getting me out of the house." I said.
"So what did you think of Tom?" she asked.
"Oh... Tom? He was alright."
"He's single y'know. He thought you were really funny."
"He's just kind of uhh... not my type."
Rene laughed. "Well, Okay Silvana! Then what is your type? Like seriously, why are you so hung up on someone like Grant? You've barely even ever talked to him!"
"I just..." I paused to think of what to say. It was actually a pretty good question. "I want someone in my life who reflects the strength I feel in myself. Someone who shares my ambition, the breadth of my aspirations. I want to be with somebody who impresses me and know that I impress them."
Rene looked at me for a few seconds trying to think of what to say. "Okay, I mean, that makes sense."

"You think it's stupid, don't you?"
"No! No! No! Silvana! Don't put words in my mouth! You wanting that out of a partner is totally valid and I get it!" she said. "It's just not what I look for."
"Well you're the one who can actually keep a relationship. What do you look for?" I asked.
Rene shrugged "I just look for a guy who makes me laugh and who treats me like an equal, you know? Like, Kurt isn't some kind of ineffable supernatural creature, he's my best friend. I always feel good when I'm around him and he makes me laugh constantly. When things get tough we know how to give each other space or to support each other and work together when we need help."
I sighed. "So what you're saying is what I want is stupid and naive."
"Bullshit! No I didn't! Don't put words in my mouth! What I want for you is to get what you want and that's perfectly fine!" She exclaimed. "I just don't get why Grant."
"Well like... I just... I used to see him every day in school and he just had this way about him. Like, he was really smart and passionate about things, and witty, and somehow above all the bullshit around me, and I just wish he had seen that in me too."
"Well like, maybe he isn't actually that smart or passionate or impressive or whatever if he was there for so long and he never noticed you. I mean, I see all those things in you. I think you're great!"
"Maybe." I sighed. "I just can't get him out of my head. It's so rare I meet anyone who makes me feel that way. I can't really explain it."
Rene sighed. "I get it."

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
