《Her Choice | ✓EDITING》Hurt.13
Advertisement
For the past few months I've been working at this cute little diner. Levi isn't too very happy because he says he can take care of me. But secretly I don't want that.
I got a job because if I ever do get a divorce, I want enough money for my own place.
I don't know how many times I've greeted people and asked if I can take their orders. It's kind of tiring job. Walking around all day, writing down orders, taking them to the kitchen, then more orders, then you hear the bell call out your order, and then you have to get the food, take it to the customer. Then it all repeats itself.
Carter had to go out of state for work. Something about catching a drug dealer.
Levi has been like a glue. I know he's just trying to make everything better but I need some space. He's been talking a lot about kids.
He says that he's already 30 and that he wants some babies. Then he smiles and makes me swoon. But then I think about Carter and I feel hopeless.
As I park my car in the marriage counseling lot.
We sit in the office waiting for our counselor.
"How was your day?" He says.
"It's good, how about you?" I smile.
"It was okay. I thought about us having again." He chuckles.
"I already told you Levi. I don't know if I want a baby with...you." I look down.
"Look I know that you're not completely over this Aurora but I want you to think about it at least. I've missed you. You don't act the same anymore. We haven't had sex in months. I've been missing your touch." He whispers.
"Levi I want a di-."

I get cut off by a door opening and our counselor coming in.
"Hey guys, how are you two?" He says and sits in front of us.
"We've been doing alright. Aurora has been a little distant though." Levi says.
"How do you that she's being distant Levi?"
"She doesn't kiss me anymore without me kissing her first, she doesn't hug me, she barely even acknowledges I'm with here, we don't even have sex anymore. We're just two strangers who sleep in the same bed." He says sadly.
"How do you feel about what Levi is saying Aurora?"
"He's right. I've been distant. Because I don't know what I feel anymore. I love Levi but I don't understand what's wrong with me." I say.
"Is this about Cassandra?" He looks at me.
"No Levi it's not about her or what you did with her. It's about me and trust. I don't know if I can trust you. But I want to because I still love you. But then there's also someone else in my heart." I say.
"Did you cheat on me back?" He raises his voice a little.
"I-I no I didn't. I just kissed someone bu-."
"You what?!" He yells and jump a little in my seat.
"Levi why don't you calm down?" Our counselor says.
"No! I'm not calming down. I'm doing everything for you Aurora! I want us to be happy together again. But now you're telling me you kissed and you don't know where your heart belongs?! I'm your husband it should belong to me!" He yells at me.
"Levi I understand but when I kissed the guy I was still vulnerable and sad. I'm sorry for doing that to you." I look at him.
"Who was the guy?" He says.
"But Le-."
"No Aurora, tell me who was the guy."
"It was Carter..." I say.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Solstice Anthology
A collection of short stories I've written over the past few years, the centerpiece being "Solstice" itself: On the Winter Solstice, the wind whispered. It roared and blew across the world, and reached even the Heavens above. With it, the great cold of winter flooded across that higher plane, and the gods staggered. They felt the golden dust of their divinity drift away from them, and the message of that wind became clear… This Winter will never end so that the Earth will.
