Meeting the Millers Chapter 2
Advertisement
••
You never realise how crazy life can get unless you sit and think. I tend to avoid my thoughts because I like to think of them as drugs, doing too much of it can leave a negative affect but then again there are some positives to it. They help you decide on what you want to feel or what you wanna do, they alert you of the dangers around you and all that shit. But back to the negatives, if your an over thinker like me then you know how thoughts can keep you up all night and that they can lead to anxiety
The only reason I mention this is because I've had a lot of time to think lately. Think about things such as my best friend -or should I say ex- June and how she stopped talking to me. And it's not the kind of thing where she became the queen bee of the school and started hating me or shit like that, she just slowly faded away. I'd ask why but I think it's better to pretend that you don't give a shit at all, it works better that way. Anyway that was months ago, I still have my other two closest friends Sienna and Zoe, I won't lie and say that I tell them everything that I would tell June but the bond is still there.
Defining my school life is pretty much simple, I pass all my classes, earn A's and B's, I stay out of trouble.... Unless I cause it. It's pretty hard for me to get myself involved in all that shit, especially with the family that I have. My older brothers like to take it upon themselves to make sure that no one comes after me personally, but hey I'm not complaining. I do the exact same with our younger siblings, there's seven of us in total for those interested. And everyone knows that when you've got a big family, shit can get chaotic real quick. In terms of relationships with my parents, I'm closer with dad.... I'll be honest, my mom annoys the shit out of me. Nothing much to add, those that get it get it.

Our school gave everybody two weeks off due to the fact that they were going under construction and if you can't tell already, I'm not excited to go back at all.
But life goes on
The front door slams shut and I keep my eyes on the tv, "Hey"
My oldest brother sits on the couch beside me before drinking from his bottle of beer, "Hey"
"Where've you been, it's almost midnight?" I frown
"Well Mom if you must know, I was getting pussy" Daniel replies
I hit him on the arm with disgust, "Demasiada information"
"You asked" He says amused
And I regret doing that
"If your staying over then you have to sleep in Enzo's room"
"Where's mom and dad?" He questions
"Working late shifts"
We hear footsteps run down the stairs, "Who is it? Daniel!" Matteo says excitedly before jumping onto our brother
Daniel looks at him with amusement, "Hey Matty"
"Why are you awake? School tomorrow, get into your pyjamas"
"You're awake" He replies to me
"And you need more hours of sleep"
"But I wanna talk to Daniel" He complains
"It's ok buddy, I'll talk to you tomorrow" Daniel promises
Matteo gets up, "Night" He mumbles before trudging up the stairs
"Are you actually going to be here tomorrow?"
Daniel lies back, "It depends, I might leave a little early for college"
"Lucky you" I mumble
"Why, what's going on with you?"
Ha, I think that questions like that are pointless. People are crazy if they think that they'd actually get an honest answer after asking that
"Nothing"
"I haven't seen June in awhile"
Why do we need to bring up that month, "You've missed ten episodes Dan, we don't speak"
He frowns, "What? Why?"
I shrug as I get up, "You'd have to ask her"
He narrows his eyes, "I'm going to bed, incase your not here in the morning. Love you"
"Buenas noches"
I take my phone with me before heading up the stairs

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)

Forsaken Soul
Morgan is just an average teen or at least he was. He is now in a foreign world where magic is real, mythical beasts roam, and monsters hunt. Labeled as a heretic he was hunted down by the Holy Church and left to die. On his last breath he is reborn as a lich. An undead mage who can summon powerful minions of darkness. Fueled by revenge, bloodlust and the internal darkness of his soul, watch as morgan struggles in a world where he is now the monster and grows in power by consuming the souls of his victims. Will he become a evil creature of massacre? Is there any shred of his humanity left? Will he ever make it back home? ONLY TIME CAN TELL... Note from author: This story will develop slowly. He isn't some chosen person or special in any ways. Not even very lucky, powerful or smart. Just a regular guy in a world he doesn't understand. The novel will cover his journey, even some of the boring and adventureless parts. I want him to seem real. I will however used time skips for long-winded and stagnant periods followed by summaries of what occurred.
