《The Blunderbuss Chronicles: Jon The Farmer》Book 2: Chapter 2
Advertisement
When Jon woke up, he realized that he wasn’t used to looking at the bottom of his top bunk. The ceiling was the first thing he had seen when he woke up always.
Now, it wasn't.
He sat up and looked out from the bed. Mercy was leaning out of the window.
“Now that there isn’t a whole bunch of caiman chewing on everything in sight,” Mercy said, “I can see how beautiful everything is. In fact..."
She turned to Jon with a sorry smile.
"It was even beautiful then too. I just…”
She sighed as she cast her gaze back out of the window.
Jon suddenly felt hungry.
“...I think I’m hungry,” Jon said. This was weird. He wasn’t used to having anyone to tell."
“We all ate breakfast already,” she said. “You slept in late."
Oh… Jon was mystified. He hadn't woken up late in a while.
"It was a little alarming," Mercy explained, "but your mother said to let you sleep in, so we did.”
“Hmmm…” Jon would have preferred to be at breakfast in the morning. Still, he needed to eat something now.
Suddenly, Hector burst into the room.
“Jon!” He said. “You need to get ready! The council is meeting soon!”
“Maaaannn…” Mallory walked into the room calmly. “Don't you know that farmers take forever to get ready?"
“I’m just trying to make sure Jon’s ready for the consulate,” Hector explained. He pointed to Mercy. “It’s not like she’s doing it any better.”
“Oh, I was doing so much better before you decided to show your ugly face around here,” she said, turning sharply from the window.
“You should have made sure he was awake earlier!" Hector gestured wildly as he talked. "You shared the same room as him!”

“He needed to rest,” Mercy said.
“He needed to be ready!”
Jon didn’t know why they were arguing so much, but he needed to get some food.
He made his way past Mallory and Hector and walked downstairs.
His mother already had a plate of food ready for him.
“I heard all the rambling up there, so I assumed that you would be awake,” she said.
Before Jon knew it, he had sat down and begun eating everything on his plate.
He ate for a few minutes before he realized that he hadn’t had really tasted any of the food in his mouth.
He looked up at his mother with a sad face.
She laughed.
“It’s alright, Jon!” she said. “It’s fine! Mallory warned me this would happen. I’m just glad that it’s my cooking you're scarfing down!”
Jon grimaced.
“Do you want another plate?” she asked.
Jon nodded.
Jon had nearly finished his second plate when there was knocking on the door.
“It’s open!” Vel called.
Genevieve opened the door.
“We’re leaving, and we just wanted to say bye,” she said softly
Everyone had made their way outside to send Hestatham and Genevieve off.
“Thank you for the excess supply,” Hestatham said to Vel. “And the extra recipes. I’ll be glad to pay you for them.”
“Don’t worry, just promise you’ll come back and tell me how you like it,” she responded. “Especially the yellow.”
“Indeed.” he nodded.
Genevieve was giving her the last round of hugs.
Mallory embraced her wholeheartedly.
“See you when we get back,” he said.
“Don’t take too long,’ she responded.
She moved to Mercy, who turned away, embarrassed.
“Well, don’t be shy, hun,” she said. “We dun won a battle together. I don’t care who you are, we’re teammates.”

“...Yeah…” Mercy finally opened up and gave her a hug.
“Don’t let Hector get to you,” she said. “He just worries about everyone.”
“We’ll see,” Mercy responded.
Now, it was Jon’s turn.
He wasn't’ used to getting hugs from anyone who wasn’t his mother, but it felt nice.
“You were so brave, Jon,” Genevieve said. “You did a good job. Maybe we’ll see each other on the fields again, as equals.”
Jon nodded.
Finally, Genevieve approached Hector.
“Will you be okay?” she asked.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine,” he grunted.
He had his arms crossed, but Genevieve hugged him anyway.
She also kissed Hector on the cheek, causing him to hold his cheek in shock.
“Keep leading like that, and you’ll be in charge in no time!” she said.
She ran over to Hestatham’s side. They both saluted, they shot up into the air, a red trail following behind.
“Did we miss the send off?” Jon turned around and saw Dan and Jassiter in Dan's large wagon.
“I think we did, Jassiter,” Dan said. “It’ll be alright. They were in a rush.”
“It’s time, Jon,” Jassiter said, looking to his son.
Jon grimaced. It was time.

Parallel universes exist. Ten years ago, a terrorist organization called Liroli waged an all-out war against the World Order, bent on obtaining the means to travel between these parallel universes. Although the war ended with the government's victory, it was not without consequences. A poisonous element known as Lorine began leaking from the other worlds, bringing a plague that wiped out a third of humanity — the infamous May Death. Those infected gained strange abilities, in exchange for their certain death in a year. To counter the great plague that threatened humanity's survival, the government launched the World Restoration Project: gathering those infected and sending them into Lorine-polluted parallel worlds to seal the leaks between them. But it isn't that easy a task, as many dangers lurk behind these worlds, while those infected must deal with their own looming deaths. This is the story of Jack Waterfelt, the only human in the world immune to the May Death, and the 43rd Sealing Squad.

The Everyday Life of A Pathfinder
Pathfinders are people who are respected and revered, not because of power or might, but because of knowledge of the world. They are the peacekeepers between humans and nature. Guiding humans through the most dangerous areas known to man and killing any species which attempts to throw off the balance of the natural world. This is their job - and their passion. *** Note: This story is going to have a few generic elements in it, like fantasy setting, guilds, cursing and stuff like that. A few (a lot) of things it won’t have is: Overly bloody descriptions, I don’t need to have enough buckets of gore to fill a ballroom for people to get that guy is defiantly dead; Rape, I don’t like it and it’s honestly painful writing that stuff; Harems, fuck harems; Overpowered MC, EVER; Game elements/ transported to another world, overused as shit; “I’m out for revenge”, no one cares; “My village was burned down and everyone died ;-;”, yeah you and the other 60% of the population; A lot of overly dramatic events, Drama has its time and place to be impactful, so you need to use it sparingly so when you do it’s special; “I’m going to stab you because I’m CrAZy, I believe that everyone has a reason for what they do, sometimes the reason is because they’re fucking insane, but I’m still not going to write things like that; Generic fantasy creatures, I’m tired of hearing about the fucking mystical dragons or the god damn slimes, so I’m going to create my own monster. Also feel free to roast. I don't get offended easily and it's honestly one of the best ways to increase writing abilites.
