"That was actually really good." Claudia said.
"What? Did you not expect us to have a good taste in 'film'" Ben asked.
She hesitated, "Yeah. She admitted. I thought boys just watched funny movies. Well, dumb funny movies."
"Madame, we are connoisseurs of the arts." Clint said in a bad French accent.
Claudia rolled her eyes.
"Well, I should probably be heading home." Lina said.
"Yeah me too, it's getting dark." Claudia said.
"You're house is pretty close, right?" Clint asked Lina.
"Yeah. I'm on the other street. Less than 3 minutes walking." She said.
"Huh, I hadn't realized we lived so close." Ben pondered.
"Yeah. Can I borrow some sugar?" Lina asked.
"No. We're out. What about you Claudia." Ben asked.
"I'm not far either. Maybe ten minutes." Claudia said.
"You're going her way Clint. You can walk her home." Lina suggested.
"Okay. But if we get mugged, or a bear shows up, im running. It's on you to keep up."
Claudia rolled her eyes.
"Fine. You can just walk me to Higgots Rd. I'm not far from there." Claudia said.
"Can I borrow your skateboard?" Clint asked ben.
"Yeah. It's in my room. Let me go get it"
He took a few steps towards the house then turned around.
Lina was picking up the discarded popcorn bags.
"Thats finde, dude. I'll get to them later." Ben said.
"You sure? I'm really not far from here." Lina said.
"Well, I guess you can help then." Ben said.
"Let's go?" Clint asked Claudia.
"Yeah." Claudia said.
Ben walked in to the house and quickly ran up the stairs. Ben's parents, and sister, were occupying the living room.
"Hi. Sorry for interrupting you guys." Claudia said.

Mr. Brooks had been in the middle of reading a bible verse.
"It's alright. We're almost done anyways. How was the movie?" Mr. Brooks asked.
"Really good actually. I expected these boys to like... more immature movies." Claudia said.
"Ben likes looking silly, for some reason. But it's not who he is." Mrs. Brooks said.
"Ben is silly." Ben's sister butted in.
"You're silly." Ben said as he came down the stairs.
He handed Clint the skateboard.
"Alright dude, see you later." Ben said.
They did a handshake. Which, included them making finger guns and shooting them at each other.
"Have a good night Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Brooks, and?" Claudia asked.
"Stacy." Ben's sister said.
"Well, bye Stacy." She said.
Stacy giggled.
"See ya." Clint said.
The pair exited the house and started walking down the street.
"So formal." Clint said.
"They were nice." Claudia said.
"Weren't you there for the whole 'projector' conversation." Clint said.
"Did she buy it?" Claudia asked.
"Yeah." Clint said, "Still..."
The words got carried off by the subtle breeze. They walked in silence till they reached the main road.
"I can walk myself from here." Claudia said.
"Alright. See you."

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.
