《MAGE CHRONICLES: THE BEGINNING.》BAD DECISIONS.
Advertisement
Mind still running about the mystery man, I follow Damon and Aarya as we stagger out of the colosseum where the party is still going strong.
Az never turned up again. Not that I was expecting him to.
They stop at a blue building that also looked like quartz, though in the dark it appeared black. Apparently, the blue building housed mated couples across all species, the ones who didn't mind groups. Apparently, living outside the school compound was not allowed.
“Sidestep right left to my beat, high like the moon rock with me baby… whoa shit!” I right myself before I fall on my face.
“that’s what you get for trying to pull off a BTS choreography in this state,” I mumble to myself.
I head to my building a few feet away, singing absentmindedly in my head after giving up on getting my feet to collaborate when something moves from between the buildings.
I stare curiously not in the least bit spooked, guess I really was drunk, a dark silhouette emerges from the shadows, and he twists his head to the side surveying me like I was prey which I so wasn’t.
“Are you sure this is the one, she doesn’t look that much, her mind is unguarded. She’s practically projecting her thoughts out loud.”
I turn behind me, realizing that while I was fascinated with Mr Shadow, he had a friend creep behind me.
“what was in that drink, she doesn’t look okay.”
“she is not supposed to be, idiot, as a matter of fact, she’s supposed to be out cold by now.”
I huff a laugh, pointing at the two almost equal looking silhouettes, where are their bodies? There was plenty of light where they were standing, “you can’t knock me out that easy.”

"you sure about that?" Shadow A murmurs moving closer.
“very sure, see I can make a perfect hop… step and… jump.”
“little one you just made 3 not very normal steps in all directions.”
“huh, where did you go?”
“behind you,” I turn to find the Shadows with equal looking gestures of frustration; hands on their hips.
“maybe we should hit her, that would surely knock her out.”
“hey! Mean, *hic* don’t hit me *hic*, that’s going to *hic* hurt so bad when *hic* I wake up.”
Later I would question how the hell I wasn’t panicking at that moment because the shadows were clearly there to kidnap me or even kill me.
“be still! I huff in frustration. You keep moving and blinking in and out, oh God is your power running out? We could plug you in. I have plenty of outlets in my room.”
“I know I’m going to regret asking, but how would you plug as in?”
“Simple, the outlet has holes and you have… things that can go into those holes, though I don’t think you would fit, we would have to use your fingers, that is an awesome idea let's go.”
“oh, for fate's sake, knock her out damn it, the boys will be back any minute.”
“Your medicine isn’t working. I still feel perfectly fi…”
A sharp pain explodes in my head, someone yells “what the fuck dude”, as I fall and the last thing I remember is thinking of how funny it would be getting into heaven yelling that because I mean, wtf!
“I can’t believe that bastard really whacked me in the head, mama mia! Does he hit hard!”
“Oh! I’m gonna fuck them up so bad when I get my hands on them,” I mutter, cursing in a manner that would make my mama wash out my mouth with her special dish soap.

“Wow, you were right. She has quite a mouth on her.” A voice says nearby, I can tell it's neither of the shadows.
“don’t speak like I’m not even here, she has a name and you are damn right she’s got a mouth on her.”
I turn in the voice's direction to make sure my words have the required impact, but I can’t see anything.
“oh my God, you hit me so hard my eyes fell out, why the fuck can’t I see, you bastards!”
I was trying to act brave but inside my heart was breaking, why can’t I see, I’m going to miss all the beautiful things in life, Blue… no… no… no… Bangtan!!!!
The last thoughts have my anger returning full force, “ya’ll better give me back my eyes or I’m going to let you have it, you do not know the power a pissed off mother holds.”
“ok, you were right this is entertaining.”
“I knew I picked right, she’s quite a handful.”
Those two were different voices which has me stilling, just how many people were there?
“We are going to have to work on her mental shield…”
At that I slam them up so fast, berating myself for not thinking about it earlier, Nona Ellie would have had my ass.
“well, well, well, guess our little thing has got secrets.”
Little! I will show you a little thing, the force of my ire forces my lids apart and I blink rapidly, trying to adjust, “oh!”
“Yeah, oh... maybe I did hit her a little hard, she couldn’t even tell her eyes weren’t open.”
Now that’s a voice a recognize, I turn towards shadow A’s voice.
“You!” I growl or attempted to, I’m pretty sure it came off like I was trying to get phlegm out.
“Hi,” he answers with a smirk.
“let me apologize on behalf of my idiot half,” I turn to shadow B’s voice and my jaw hangs.
“you, you… you are… holy hotness… there are two of you… how?…”
“actually, there’s three of us.”
That’s when my eyes latch onto the guy standing next to SB and I’m surprised I didn’t see him sooner.
“you know what, I’m too hungover for this shit,” I mumble, lying back in some sort of bed, I’ll deal with that and everything else later.
Laying my head back, I close my eyes and promptly pass out; I know, it’s a talent.

Hazelsong: A LitRPG Novel
Release Schedule: I will be moving to a set release schedule as of 1/1/2022. A new chapter will be released every Saturday at Noon EST. If I have time that week for a second chapter, I will leave a note on the Saturday chapter and post the second chapter on Sunday at Noon EST. An up to date character sheet for the MC Erik will also be posted on Sundays at 12:15 PM. If life happens and I am for some reason unable to write that week, I will post a blank chapter giving you an update on where I am with my writing. Saturday Noon EST: First weekly chapter Sunday Noon EST: Second weekly chapter (if I have the time) Sunday 12:15 EST: Updated character sheet Synopsis: Years after surviving a deadly accident, Erik struggles to come to terms with his painful disability. When offered the chance to playtest the world's first full immersion VRMMO, he wants nothing more than to retreat back into his secluded life, until he learns what Hazelsong really offers. An escape from the pain. Hazelsong is a world of magic and adventure, a place where friendships are formed, loot is won, and glory and fame are there for the taking. While the threats feel real and the stakes are always high, there is only one thing Erik is really in danger of. Forgetting which world is actually real. Story Themes: Hazelsong is a LitRPG novel that not only explores the fictional world of a realistic online fantasy realm but the life of a man suffering in silence from chronic pain and PTSD due to a significant physical injury and disability. Mental health is an important subject and we all know at least one person in our lives who has or is dealing with some form of mental illness. I plan on putting my best effort forward to represent these illnesses in a fair and accurate manner. Not as a cheap plot device to help make the protagonist more unique, but to help paint an accurate picture for those of us who have been lucky enough to not have to suffer in silence. About the Author: I am Ash Durra, general video game nerd and a connoisseur of fantasy and sci-fi of all shapes and sizes. Needless to say, I am not a professional author (B.S. and M.S. in Education, 8 years teaching). After really getting into LitRPG novels over the past several years, I found my way to Royal Road, which has inspired me to use my spare time to begin writing a story of my own creation. As this is a hobby, I am not writing and posting chapters on any kind of specific schedule at the moment, though my goal is to post on average 1-2 chapters a week. I am incredibly excited to share this story with others as I write it, and I look forward to any constructive feedback about how I can improve in my writing.
