《Playtime》Part Seven: Savanna Henderson Chapter Twenty-three
Advertisement
It was like some horrible dream. I couldn’t make myself move, nor did I want to. All I wanted was rewind time and tell Yoongi earlier that I loved him. I would’ve sacraficed myself in order to protect him...But I didn’t. Now here I stood, on the edge of town, on halloween night, wishing everything happened again. I wished to be marked. I wished to be treatd horribly and I wished for Angelia to return.
The pounding in my head slowly vanished as I could still feel Yoongi’s fingers tracing my neck. I run my fingers down my neck and sighed. “Yoongi…” I mumbled lowering my head. I sink to the ground and just let the tears fall.
As crazy as I sounded, I wanted my life to be in danger. I wanted the voices again, taunting me. My body had gotten used to the horrid treatements that if felt like a drug. It overtook my body like a parasite and drug me into the darkest abyss.
“Please,” I cried, “make the voices return. I want the voices to return!!” I clutched my head and tried to focus my energy on the voices, but I didn’t get a response.
“You silly,” a voice said behind me. “You can’t force the demon’s voice in your head.” I turn to see a girl smiling at me. Her red curly hair was in her face as she waved. Her bright white eyes scanned me and then the area. She didn’t have wings like a fallen angel, or fangs like a vampire. I doubted that she was a demon, seeing how she didn’t have blood red eyes or didn’t have the demon mark. I sigh.
“I miss them.” I mumble without thinking. She nods.
“I get that.” she answers. “Avery.” I shake her hand and look at the shards of moonstone that yoongi had created. The last remains of his existance. “You love him.” Avery says catching me off guard.

I nod and look at her. Pain was tearing at my soul and it hurt to even think I had to go back to my normal life. The counsel would surly take away my memory of all that happened if I went and saw them, which I made it a goal that I wouldn’t.
Avery scanned my face before putting out a hand. I glance at it before taking it. What would happen? I was in love with a bloody demon, there was nothing else that could harm me. She led me to the house I stayed at with the seven creatures. The memories rang like large bells on christmas morning.
“They aren’t dead,” Avery says. I glance around at the destroyed architecture. It was like history had made it’s mark showing the world what happens when you let a demon influenze what you do.
“I don’t want to believe that they aren’t,” I state not turning to Avery. “After what I saw, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were.” My exterior had grown cold at the thought of the responsibility that I held with the death of my friends.
“But they aren’t!” Avery says shaking me. “They only created a barrier. To protect you.” I push her away as everything flashes red. I grab my head as the voices started up again. Except this time, they weren’t taunting. They were comforting and pleading. It hurt from what I was used to.
“Shut up!” I scream having my voice echo throughout the building. Avery backs up as I pace. “There’s only one thing to do.” I grab a piece of glass and hold it to the moon that was now setting. Avery shakes her head.
“Savanna, don’t.” She says slowly. I shake my head.

“Why!?” I scream, feeling the exhaustion of the previous events hit me. “There’s nothing left for me here! All my friends are dead! Yoongi gave up his life for me and now….” I look at the glass that shined brightly. Avery tried to step forward but I backed up when she tried to get close.
“Savanna-”
“Don’t.” I snap. “You have no idea how much pain is going through my body right now. You have no idea how much my heart is aching at the thought of never seeing the one person that showed me my true pontential.” She shook her head.
“But I do. I get that your body is overwhelmed by all these emotions and that these dark thoughts are running through your head, and that they seem so soothing, but they aren’t!” She explained trying to calm me down. “They aren’t going to help you.” I scoff. “They are going to only cause more sorrow than there already was.” I back up and shake my head, tears streaming down my face.
“No. Yoongi gave up his life for me…” I hold the mirror to my neck.
“And now...it’s my turn.”

A World Worth Protecting
By the year 3029 CE, Earth’s technology has developed rapidly, borders no longer exist, and Earth has been unified, marking the beginning of the era of the Federation. At that time, a huge sword flew from the heavens, piercing the sun and causing a huge sensation on Earth. Perhaps because the scabbard of the sword was already in tatters, countless shards have broken off from it following the collision with the sun and spread across the universe. Many of these shards have landed on various places across Earth. With the arrival of the bronze sword and its shards, a new unlimited energy source has suddenly appeared on Earth. This energy source has since been named Spirit Qi. Spirit Qi is like air, thick in some places and thin in others. As the Federation and other factions gather more shards, they discover more information on cultivation, pill refinement, Spirit Stone refinement, and other techniques. The words on the shards have an ancient feel to them, making it a trend for people to use ancient language. The appearance of Spirit Qi rapidly makes the original energy sources obsolete and has completely changed people’s lives. Not only has the Spirit Internet been formed, Spirit Qi has also changed the course of Human Civilization, causing the world to enter a civilization of cultivation. This would later come to be known as the Spirit Inception Era.

He loved exploring new places so much, that he happened upon a magical tome in a cave he found when he wandered around his neighbourhood. And from this tome, manifested the ghost of a dead sorceress who made a home in his mind. And so began his journey in becoming a legendary mage; and also a royal pain in the ass. NB: Just a side project made purely for fun! HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. NO PLOT! Well, maybe a little plot. Okay, it has more plot than I first intended for it to have. And uh, there's not much, but expect profanity.Check out my edgelord book:https://books2read.com/u/mgg7dD

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g
