《Free Your Mind》Chapter Nine: An Old Notebook Page
Advertisement
Riding on the last of my sanity, as each crashing storm just creates another leak. I fear that I'm on a collision course, one that strays so far away, much further from life than ever before. Soon the biggest storm finally sets in around me, and the clouds only look down upon me with all their seething judgment. I brace myself for the impact of all their hurtful remarks, little did I know that this time they'd be able to break my mind.
I scream and shout, I let all my emotions free. For once I finally do, they'll forever leave me be. That's why I hide away here now, in this decrepit house. Writing all the remaining pain away on an old notebook page. I cry and plead, I let my sadness flee from me. Because once I finally finish my sentence, their grip will weaken around me. That's why all I can do now, is hide away in this broken home. Writing all my inner demons away, on this old notebook page.
Trying to remain afloat in the rough seas of this storm, when suddenly the largest hit comes without any warning. It lifts me above and knocks me off the single clinging hope of my clasp on reality. Panic sets in as I frantically look for any sign of humanity. Begging, for anyone, someone please just help me. For if I stay in my mind for even a second longer, I fear I'll finally fall into the valley.
I don't mean to cry or seem that I'm weak. But all I can really do, is try not to let go of me. I pry my way through the pits of despair, hoping I'll finally see the light. My desperation comes from the desire to find a sliver of my sanity, wondering and wishing, if it could be the key.

I scream and shout, I let all my emotions free. When I manage to do this, they can finally leave me be. That's why I'm hidden here now, in this decrepit house. Writing all the pain away on an old notebook page. I cry and plead, pushing my sorrow away from me. Because once I finally complete my writing, they'll have no control of me. That's why I do what I do now, hiding away in a shattered home. Writing all my scars down, on this old notebook page.

Grave of the Goddess
The Labyrinth was a test crafted by the Goddess, an unending and deadly place filled with worlds inside of worlds which threatend to devour any who entered. Many of the people who had tried to pass through to the final floor never even came close, a large amount failing on the earliest floors. One soul fought his way through and managed to reach the final realm, facing off against the final trial and barely succeeding. In the end his life was the cost for that, and with a final breath he accepted the end of his life with dignity and grace. Then he woke up.
8 198The Flower of Manataklos
Lyrua Kirkegaard, High Queen of Nythyemere, contemplates abandoning it all, but an assassination attempt forces her to action without time for preparations. With her loyal ravenfolk handmaid and her steel bodyguard, she aims to cross the sea to raise her family in the safety of a land that does not recognise her, but she can feel the Archangels' judgement upon her as she travels. Things only get worse when demons appear, and prove to be a match for their power.
8 143The Chronicles of The Green wizard
Garion Greensleeves always was an oddity. The first son of High-Wizard Garius Greensleeves and Adricor, a Noble woman of well renown, he would of stood to inherit much. However, on the night of his first full moon, as a baby he disappeared from his cot. His parents, after much frantic searching, found the babe crying in a small clearing of trees, a large feline creature pacing defensively around him, the bloodied corpse of a fox resting at its feet. As the parents approached, the beast transformed into a small owl and flew around the clearing before perching on a low branch of a tree nearby. From this moment on Garion's fate had been decided. Only those with magical blood could be capable of calling out to such a being as this. As Garion grew older, the transforming creature remained by his side. Wizards from all the continents visited the glade to see the child who had bound a familiar to his will as a babe. At age seven, Garion left his home glade and travelled the world studying to become a recognised guilded wizard. After many years he was granted the title of Wizard and was sent forth to advise, learn and ponder on behalf of the guild. After a while, Garion was assigned to a small nation within the vast continent mainly populated by man-folk known as The Patchwork kingdoms.

I won’t say this is a fiction, In fact it’s just things I suppose I need to put out there! Some things might be synonymous to a story, mainly my story. Interesting tidbits I’ve wrote down while high, sad or otherwise distracted in life. Hopefully it’s received well! This is for those who believe they are alone, you aren’t.

8 223Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
