《The book of forever》Chapter 5.4: Splitting paths
Advertisement
In the dead of night after the sunset, when the stars are above and ground bellow, I look at the path behind me, lonely. I come to realize how far I've wandered. Alone on my path feeling just at home, I can't help but wish for another here; each path behind me a diverged old tale, each fork before me a splintering tale. To what do I wander for, to what end? I ask myself this question without end. And so I wander again, sometimes lone. And so I wander again, sometimes not.
Each path to our destination, our goal, I meet and separate from them again. Those of my past, and those of my future, I wonder if they're all bound to depart? I hope, I wish, I seek, another's heart. And so, again, alone, I stand and start.
Perhaps this is the beauty of this life, to wander a lonely road so lonely, and to wander a lonely road so free. Perhaps this is the beauty of this life, to depart and split, to then find again. To make new bonds where one's have disappeared, a heartless meaning so ever unclear.
Those who will stay, and then those who will go, how can I tell what is for forever? Does that mean anything? Anything so? Perhaps not, and so I seek but a night, to make memories and to make more friends. Knowing clearly that this could quickly end, knowing clearly that it doesn't matter.
Because of that though I'll cherish them more, knowing that this all could sooner than end; my heart, and my laughter, I give to my friends.
As if the moment is but a snapshot, a picture captured in time, (so ver' still,) I make it sparkle with laughter, so filled; that even myself, my cynical heart, can't help but open again; a new start. As if I was trying to blow away, miseries and regrets of the lost past, I make sure I'll look fondly back at now.

Those memories missed so much won't return, yet that doesn't mean the future we burn. There will be new memories, and some old; reunions and new stories will unfold. The past hasn't ended, future not start, this adventure of ours continues, hark!
And lo into the dark night our feet walk, and lo onto our adventure we'll start!
To laugh and smile, the beauty of life, to not live in regret we must now fight! Perhaps nothing last forever, who cares! These smiles we have won't fade into air! This is what it means to live wholehearted, this is what it means to truly still live. To learn, to live, to smile, and forgive! Those are things we need to know; we will glow... no matter what the world will throw at us. That I truly believe, seize the present! Yet at the same time don't forget the past,
Now is the time to make memories last!

I, The Lightning
In the world of Foronea, power rules, and for the 80% of those who don't have any power--The Mundane--life is hard. Really hard. Emmanuel Burroughs has had enough. Enough of being pushed around, and spat on. Enough of having his friends and family harassed just because some asshole decides he can. Enough of the nobles using The Mundane as little more than cattle. And he knows just what to do about it. Godking Samuel Lionheart, ruler of Terralane and most powerful of the four god-rulers of Foronea, allows every citizen one attempt at the 'Trial of Blessing', a grueling test of wit, strength, and overall competency. If the challenger wins, they receive a Blessing, a power that manifests a unique form based on the user's personality. The better they do, the stronger the Blessing. Emmanuel's plan is simple; get an S rank on the Trial, and get a Blessing strong enough to overthrow those at the top, fixing the problem with his own hands. But when Godking Samuel makes Emmanuel his Chosen, with a Blessing miles beyond his expectations, Emmanuel finds that being the capital h Hero isn't all he thought it would be. And before he saves anyone, he'll need to figure out how to stop his own power from ripping himself apart. ----------------------------------------------- Hello! Author here! Updates Every Friday!
