《Marauding Gods (First Draft)》Chapter 158

Here we meet again.
Laying inside the altair, he rested, as if he was only soundly sleeping.
I, by reaching onto him and holding him in my arms, brought me back to the day I woke up trapped under that white blanket.
Confusing and far away as was that day, the smell, the feel, I still remember it clearly, as if it happened yesterday.
This left me, for a time, wondering how come, the power I was bestowed upon birth was so intent on keeping me entirely unaware of your existences ?
It took me a while to understand, but now that I stand here before you today, all thanks to your present, I realize why.
Not only was it to cope with this pain in my chest and the thing I was missing which I initially thought were only memories, but was in truth you,
The fear and guilt of being me.
It hurts, yes, yet it was and is still worth living through with and remembering.
Time have passed, I've come a long way, and I know that without the two of you, never would’ve come this far.
From you I was brought upon this world, from that alone I cannot afford myself to forget.
I’ve lived, I’ve learned. I will remember and will no longer forget.
I am not you, I am not him, I am me.
I am neither of you, yet without you, I would never be me.
I am your brother.
I am your brother but from now on, now that I know, I get to choose to be what else I want to be beside that,
Which is why today, I have come, to announce my upcoming departure.
I will go on a journey, a very long one.
Through this short existence, I managed to do many things wrong, things which I’m too ashamed to expose.

But this one, this journey I plan to go through, will be different.
I want to go through it thinking that you, brothers, are somewhere looking at me with not shame but pride.
With my own wings, wings you gave me, I will fly.
Today, I have come to join path with that with at birth I had parted ways with.
What was missing will now be returned to its rightful place.
May you rest as a part of me, my other half, and may again we meet properly somewhere, beyond the atlas of time and space.
Here we meet again.
Laying inside the altair, he rested.
The sight, brought me back to the day I woke up trapped under that white blanket.
Confusing and as far away as was that day, the smell, the feel, I still remember it clearly, as if it happened yesterday.
Reaching onto him, and holding him in my arms, forgotten feelings came mellowing my heart.
What I felt right now, made me remember that for a while, I wondered how come, the power I was so bestowed upon birth was so intent on keeping me entirely unaware of your existences ?
It took me a while to understand, but now that I stand here before you today, I realize why.
Not only was it to deal with this pain in my chest, but aslo fill up that gap that which I, to be whole lacked.
The thing part of me missing which I initially thought were only memories, but was in truth you,
It hurts, yes, yet it was and is still worth living through with and remembering.
Time have passed, I've come a long way, and I know that without the two of you, I never would’ve come this far.

This is the story about Victor who is Technically Abroad and how he is adjusting to this one simple fact. Going to college is a hard time for a lot of people. You just became an adult in society’s eyes, but people still treat you like a kid. A year ago you might have had to ask for permission to use the bathroom, but now you can vote, legally buy most things and work, marry, etc. Even if some people still treat you like a kid. So in the simplest non-spoilery terms, this story is about Victor finding himself in a world that isn’t his, with a lot of rules that weren’t given to him upon arrival.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!
