《Word Wise》Chapter 2 Prospecting

The island was covered by a mixed forest. There were squirrels and deer along the numerous cliffs. A white dirt road cut straight to the shore. So the tall trees did nothing to block Harold sight of the bay. There were problems with his plans. Mainly, that it relied so heavily on kids. It seemed inappropriate, and made him worry. It'd been many years since he had been worried.
Outside was cold, and severe. Especially since the tower he stood in was almost a hundred and fifty feet up. Harold should've been the only soul awake on the island, but someone came into to his chamber. The person started awkwardly.
"I got some references for you sir. Grade scores for the candidates, character referrals for those that were available, and the GPA's for all participants. Hopefully, that'll get our plans moving smoothly." He'd held the papers down, and talked loudly, because of the wind blowing both.
"Yes, hopefully." Robert Petterson was Harold's nephew and his most trusted confidant. He had turned thirty-one this month. Harold turned to him. His chambers weren't brightly lit, but he could see as well he could broad daylight. He could see the slight wrinkles on his nephew's face. They were much shallower than those on Harold continence. It had only made him worry just a little bit more. Time seemed to be at his feet.
He after a sigh, he spoke.
"We're doing this for our country ."

Froyd had been on the boat for a day now. The ride had been rough enough that he felt slightly sick. Even then he'd still force down some food, which to their credit was amazing. Stewed fish, yellow tea and fresh bread and butter was their breakfast.
Froyd and the other's spoke quietly in the presence of the Arch Mage. The old man sat stalwart at the head of the table. He'd eaten with them the past few days and remembered most of their names. He'd even gotten John to laugh during this time. The joke had gotten most of them to choke on whatever food they were eating.

The Mage stood. The lights in the serving room were orange and soft, like candlelight light and made him seem mysterious. The people present found it appropriate, and the room became even quieter.
"You will be leaving the safety of your youth behind you. That is whether you choose to stay or not, it is simply that time in your lives. But with the decision, some of you, many that I've grown to like, will die young." The room became quieter, almost devoid of breathing people.
"You've all chosen a very hard path. With the gifts God has given you, this does not have to be the case. Go home, have kids, and pay your bills." He said to the quiet room. "This is your last chance."

8 138Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
