《Unpredictable | Wilbur Soot Angst》Hope
Advertisement
It had been about a week since Wilbur's mental breakdown, and the guitar had arrived a couple minutes ago. The boy that the instrument was intended for was currently asleep, so Phil didn't have to worry too much about sneaking it into the house. Slipping into his room, Phil carefully wrapped the box and slipped a note onto it.
Smiling softly, he delicately laid it on the foot of Will's bed, careful not to wake him. Walking downstairs, Phil prepped some breakfast for the both of them, and settled down to wait.
Wilbur sat up slowly, wincing slightly as he stretched. That's when he noticed the box laying by his feet. Glancing around, he reached for it, bringing it into his lap. Spotting the note, he opened it cautiously.
To Wilbur,
I don't know what happened to your original guitar, and it's up to you if you want to tell me. Either way, I always enjoyed your songs, and I know you enjoyed making them. You are amazing, and I really enjoy spending time with you. I hope that you can forgive me for all the times I messed up.
-Love, Phil
Tears pricked at his eyes as his gaze landed on the box. He wouldn't buy one, right? Grabbing the box, he gingerly moved the wrapping aside. Grasping it softly, his hands traced the polished wood, lingering on the tuners. He considered playing it right then and there, but stopped. He doesn't like noise. Shaking off the thought (though he still didn't play it), he made his way downstairs.
Phil was sitting at the table, sipping a drink and scrolling through something on his phone. He looked up as Wilbur came in, smiling softly.
"Hey Will."
"Hi. Um, th-thank you, for the- for the guitar."
"No problem, mate." They fell into an awkward silence, "Are you hungry?" Phil asked, gesturing at the pancakes on the table.

"Um, yeah." Wilbur responded as he made his way towards the table. He was looking much better. He was now a healthy(er) weight, and was a bit less jumpy. They ate in silence, the only sound was the clatter of silverware on plates.
Then, of course (because the author is so creative), Phil's phone started ringing. Glancing at the caller ID, he scoffed.
"Tommy." He stated, glancing at Wilbur." He nodded, and Phil clicked the accept button. "What's up, mate?"
"Are you available for a video in like two days?"
"Maybe, we'll see."
"OK, Big Man."
"Oh, and Tommy?" Tommy hummed in response, "I'll call you, not the other way around OK mate? No. Spamming. Me." Tommy just laughed and hung up. "That kid is going to be the death of me." Phil said fondly. Wilbur cracked a smile. It's gonna be OK.

What if you can build a town that moves faster than the speed of light? Silas Creedy, a retired Olympic Fencer in his late twenties, has befallen hard times in a crashing economy caused by dwindling rare minerals on Earth and Helium-3 on the lunar surface. He works as a manual laborer for the Space Force, accepting a measly pay while maintaining a strong physique. On Monday morning, Silas receives a notice of termination, but General Grant Freeman makes a dangerous offer: explore a distant star system in a top-secret electrogravitic spaceship while wearing a prototype exosuit that augments reality into a role-playing game.

With his new AI companion, Tracey, Silas decides to go on the run to keep Earth’s location secret.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
