《What Are You Waiting For》What Now?
Advertisement
I pull into Emily's apartment complex's driveway and shut off my car. I take a shaky breath and wipe at the tears that threaten to fall. I finally decide to get out and walk into the foyer. I keep my head low so people don't see the makeup smeared all over my face.
I think to myself.
'Hey you here?' Thank god it was Emily. I don't think I can stand seeing Spencer's name and picture ever again.
'Yeah in elevator' I text back.
I click the back arrow to check my other conversations when I 'accidentally' tap on his name. I look at the picture and smile a sad, hopeless smile as I look at his silly photo. His adorable face with his tongue sticking out and fingers pulling at the sides of his eyes. I wipe away the single tear that fell onto the screen. Why did he have to cheat on me? Our relationship was going so good, and then that slut ruined it! He's probably banging her right- no he wouldn't do that to Henry. He loves him too much. Poor Henry he loved us being together so much and I did too. But fates fate.
Iwalk out into the hall and knock on Emily's door.
"Hey." She says and wraps me in a tight, warm hug.
I start crying before I can even get one word out.
"Where's mommy?" Henry asks me. Only if I had pulled away from that chick sooner then, he wouldn't be in this mess.
"Dad?" Did he just call me dad? He probably only said it cause he's lost. No mom, no real dad, no grandparents, no real blood aunts or uncles. The only person he's got is JJ. Now he doesn't even have her now.
I read the message one more time.

'Goodbye'.
"I don't know bud. I don't know." I respond sadly looking down at the poor blonde boy looking back at me with pain in his eyes.
It's all my fault. Damn you Reid! Fuck! Why is it always me that screws things up?! Always fucking me! I pound my fist on the wall in frustration. Henry backs away from me and looks at me with once sadness and now fright.
"I'm sorry buddy. I'm just scared and worried about mommy."
He runs up to me and hugs me tighter then ever before.
"What now?" He asks through sobs.
"I don't know buddy."

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.
