《My Short Stories》Chapter 22
Advertisement
I came to visit my grandparents in the countryside for this summer holidays. My parents are visiting their friends in London so I came alone.
My grandparents have a farm with lots of animals so it's fun here. There is a little lake here too. My grandparents were very happy to see me.
I settled in and rested the whole day. The next day, I decided to go look around the farm. I looked at the cows and sheeps for some time. But they weren't that interesting. So I went to look at the horses.
As I was playing with the horses, I saw a horseshoe on one side. I picked it up. It looks old. I will take it as a souvenir.
Later at dinner, I asked my grandpa about it. "Why did you pick it up? Go and put it back." He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's a haunted horseshoe. Wherever it goes bad luck follows it. That's why, we never moved it from it's original place." Grandma explained.
I don't believe in this stuff. So I decided to just keep it with myself. It's been two days since I have that. And I have to say that I am starting to believe it.
Teribble things have been happening to me. I decided to go put it back. At night as I was going to sleep I noticed something on my bedside. It's the horseshoe but I put it back. It went like this for a couple of days.
Everytime I put it back it comes back to me. After a month, I left for home. I guess I am left alone by it now. But when I reached home it was on my bedside waiting for me.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?

8 180Ether mage
Everyone is born with mana. Some people are born with more. Some are born with less. If they practice enough, they can improve those numbers, but if you don't even have enough to practice with, there isn't much you can do. Everyone is also born with ether. It is useful, but can't power any spells by itself. It only gives them shape. You don't normally need much ether. It is nice to be able to summon swords out of thin air, but not really that useful ability in a peaceful country, where enchanted items are so cheap. For people born with bigger ether pool, there isn't much to do except double their efforts to get more mana. Or reach out for a forbidden power...
