《Fallen ✔️》.47 (final chapter)*

natalie looked at the scene from behind the rocks.
her sister was climbing quickly, while zion was almost at the top of the cliff. he paused there, staring at the void below him, when her sister's voice reached him.
surprised, he turned around. his expression was a mixture of confusion and anger. rae's desperate expression didn't make a dent in his stupid decision, and he turned back to the cliff.
rae climbed higher, trying not to fall. with a worried glance at the grey skies, she gulped and stopped a few feet behind zion. he went rigid, fists clenched. natalie tried not to intervene, knowing very well that her presence would disturb zion.
the loud wind did not allow her to listen to what rae started talking about. but she could see. rae's lips were moving quickly, matching the pace of her hands moving about frantically. zion relaxed a little, but still didn't turn around.
natalie's gut clenched. she did love him. she wanted to be the one in her sister's place, fighting for him. but considering how she fought against him in the past, she decided to let it rest.
one look at rae's now crying face made her heart hurt. her sister. her sister, who cared for everyone. her little sister, who put everyone else before her. her sister, saving the boy she loved. at that moment, she vowed to herself that she would mend their broken relationship.
rae was now moving. she went closer to him, encouraged by the fact that he turned around, even though his head was bowed, staring at the ground. rae moved closer, slowly but surely, hand outstretched as if approaching a wounded animal.
a drizzle started, but the two of them didn't notice. rae was full on crying now, holding zion's hands in hers, whispering urgently to him. he finally raised his head, tears of his own streaming in his eyes, and said something. rae whispered something back, and he nodded.

she sighed in relief, and threw her arms around him. he held her close, slightly hesitant. a few moments later, as if everything was okay, he pulled her close. the rain increased in frequency, beating around them, thundering in the rocks. natalie was worried about who close they were to the edge, but didn't want to interrupt their moment.
suddenly, he kissed her. the passion could be seen clearly, and natalie smiled sadly. a part of her was sad for letting him go, and the other part was happy that those two were happy.
so she watched.
she watched as they broke apart.
she watched as the laughed together.
she watched as they started waltzing on the highest rock.
she watched as he twirled her.
she watched as she laughed.
she watched as she lost her footing.
she watched as she slipped.
"rae!" she screamed, running to the cliff.
but she could only watch as her sister disappeared into the abyss, falling with the rain, with the boy they both loved screaming her name, standing beside her kneeling figure.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Gong Lu was the perfect prodigy. Born into the position of Crown Prince, he was able to speak fluently at two, and read the works of great scholars with comprehension at eight. At sixteen, his father died and Gong Lu conquered the three provinces soon after. He could concoct plots that spanned countries, and scheme the scales off a dragon. But below the surface, he was in agony. Gong Lu could not live the life he had to with happiness, and deep down, the genius regretted his intelligence. He detested the fact that he could scheme and trick, abhorred the ruthlessness that came with power. And so, he died with regrets. Despite unifying the world under one flag, despite mitigating discrimination, poverty, and dissent, despite crushing all conspiracies under his unfathomable mind, Gong Lu's last words were: "If I could start again..." And so he did. Gong Lu swore that in this life, that he would not scheme or fool. They said that tricks were useless before absolute power. And this was what he wanted. This was what he would achieve. Release schedule: One chapter every Thursday and Sunday, will likely post chapters late in the day.
