《Bound in the Dark》Rearing Itself - Chapter 6
Advertisement
Shadows POV:
I find myself staring at this lifeless corpse, staring into its lifeless eyes...
While I feel devoid of all emotion, the only thing that I feel is sadness and anger. I cry while looking at what I see before me...
Blight....
Dead Blight.
I know that it's an accident but I feel so much hatred right now and at the person who took her away from me.
"WHY? Why were you here Blight? Why'd you come here? This town isn't safe for you. Wait. Is this my fault? I shouldn't have talked about taking you to town with me. Maybe you knew what I was talking about. DAMN IT! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE EVERYHING FROM ME, YOU FUCKING STUPID WORLD, I HATE EVERYTHING! EVERYONE! I HATE IT ALL. I just... fucking hate it all. This isn't fair. Life isn't fair. What did I do to deserve this. I have nothing left anymore. No one. Nothing."
I clutch Blight so close to me, feeling like I'd never let go but even I know what must be done now, as I cry and cry I take her to some place where I can bury her. I take her back to where we met... and start digging her grave. I dig and continue digging until the pit where the last bit of happiness I had will go. I get out and pick Blights corpse up then slowly place her down into her resting place. As I do this the tears have never stopped flowing. I just can't stop crying.
Once I'm done burying her... I'm doing the same with my emotions. I'm burying them... I'm done... feeling.
"Wherever you are voice. You can take control of me for whatever reason, you can do as you please."
I say this but nothing happens, no one shows up and no one says anything, it's just me and the silence between.

I sit there next to Blights resting place. As I look at the grave. I begin to feel devoid of EVERTHING. This is where I give up. No more pain, no more suffering. No more, anything.
I sit even longer staring at the night sky while silence continues to befall me. I sit still in this quiet and desolate place while I wait, for what I don't know. The stars fade, the moon disappears and I then begin to see the night sky turn to day. As the sun rises I get up and start walking. Walking to the empty place I call home. Once I get there I lay in bed and start thinking about Blight:" What did Blight even mean to me? Why'd that even happen, why'd I have to get so attached. I know that everything doesn't last, so why'd I think the happiness would stay. I want to know WHO TOOK AWAY MY HAPPINESS."
I can hear it now, it's finally back, like I've been wanting. It's saying...
"I know the answer to that, boy."

Blaze
The story of a fire elemental's life in a world dominated by mages. He will have to learn how to manage betrayals, treachery, and maybe even love as he goes on adventures to find a meaning to it all. From dark, humble beginnings he will rise... or fall, devastating amounts in his journey across the world. Hello, Author here! I am, unfortunately, rather terrible at coming up with descriptions that seem to have the right amount of decorum and yet actually serve their function of adequately describing the story, so here's the coursenotes. - The story follows a fire elemental. (As you can tell from that, it is heavily besed on fantasy with mages and the like. Technology will not feature prominently) -As mentioned in the tags, this will have game-like aspects. (E.G. levels, stats. I will be trying to put my own twist on this notion however, so bear with me if the premise intrests you but you despise LitRpg) -It'll get rather dark, but not devastatingly so. (I'm trying to write a more complex story so it will have its dark moments, the prologue being one of them. Rest assured the whole story will not be this dark, though I'll make sure that no-one is a saint either) -The protagonist/protagonists will not be a Mary-Sue. (The plural will be understood when I'm further into the story. They also won't be impossiby unlikeable such as those in many Light novels.) -There is no prophecy (Anyone who says there is, is lying, trust me.)

Single Creation
“You created me, a being of far greater capacity than you could have imagined at a price beyond your nightmares. Now you are lost, wandering through a desolate land, searching blindly. Seeking something you yourself are not aware of, a place where a lifetime of memories should be, but instead an empty abyss resides.-” After I disconnected my finger from the drive it shifted back into its original form and a single thought roared through my mind. ‘What did I do?'

Prey No More
Imagine being given a second chance at life. Not only that but with a life you chose (sort of). This is exactly the situation that our character is in. He was once a Biology Graduate Student involved in a special program in Alaska studying Polar Bears. In an ironic twist of fate his life is ended by exactly that which he was trying to study. Now, in a new world, he refuses to be anything but the top of the food chain. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a story I began writing a year and a half ago and decided to shelf, I'm coming back to it now because I miss writing; however, I have not carved out any time specifically for this and, as of now, it will be something I do on the side for fun. Currently I have 9 chapters plus a prologue written; I'm going to be going through and editting it to be in a present tense (from past), as well as changing some of the story and grammar. Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.
