《Alternate 2020》Bonus chapter: Fragmented memory

Keeping this up every day was hard. The suffering, the pain. I was there. He was there. We were all there.
The day came.
Dressed in full black, we stood there on the cold, wet, grassy ground as rain poured down on to us. The shivering of my friends persisted as I looked up towards the sky.
There was six of us - now there's five. Why did it end like this? Why? We could have been happy, enjoyed ourselves just like before. What did you hide from us, Levi?
The rain blurred my vision as I slowly looked across to my left. Ray was holding an umbrella while being hugged; I heard loud cries from my friends as it echoed slightly in the surround while being muffled by the sound of the rain.
Behind me, grownups - with black suits - lined up and one by one, they stepped forward and placed flowers on the smooth stone surface. After a slight bow and salute, they retreated and the next one walked forward. I watched as it repeated again and again until the last person; he was different.
With a broad figure, he stood out from the rest of them. He was wearing black shades and had a grey beard with gelled back hair; there was an earpiece in one of his ears.
Unlike the others, he wasn't holding any flowers. He stepped up. The rain showered his head as it slowly dropped down his face and he slowly said, "I expected more from you."
"Is he mocking him!?" I thought to myself angrily.
I felt a wave of explosive anger swelling up from the inside of me, deep down in my heart. I let go of my umbrella and was about to punch him but Ray held on to my hand. He hovered the umbrella over my head and said, "Hey, let's not do this on a day like this..."

I looked at him and he was crying. I could tell he was holding his anger back as well.
I slowly put my arm down.
"Your mother will miss you," the man continued to said.
A little girl next to him poked her head looking at me. She was also wearing full black. She held on to the man's trousers.
"She will take over from now," the man said while patting the little kid on the head. "Now let's head out."
The people behind him saluted once again then formed two parallel lines on either side of the man and the little kid.
They walked through the path and the men followed behind them.
The place was empty and only us five remained.
The girls collapsed on the ground while still sobbing.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

In this world there are only two beings, the all-encompassing darkness and a spark of flame that keeps to itself. ________________________________________ Hello there! Now some warnings; I am new to this, I don't have much experience so I'm trying to get some by writing this. So I don't stress myself out this will be a relatively short story but I don't know. Also this is sort of the beginning of my world, if this works out and I decide to write more I would love to keep it in this world. My grammar isn't perfect, if anything it's one of the things i struggle with. I don't have a release schedule, but I usualllt release as soon as i'm done with a chapter. Also I would really appreciate it if you can point out my mistakes, I can't learn if i don't know what i'm doing wrong.
