Chương 559: Marching Towards Danger

Later at night, the elven people were all gathered under shining moonlight. The brightness of the sandy buildings helped those present get a good glimpse at the dark expressions of the unfortunate few.

The unlucky souls selected by Alolvi to take a trip to their death all held this dark expression.

Well, all but one who cracked a macabre joke.

"Hahaha, don't worry about anything honey. I'll be back in two pieces!" A refined and mature elf shouted boisterously to his loving partner in an act that seemed crazy and out of character.

His wife burst into tears the moment her head fully processed the intricacies of the joke.

"Hey hey! It's better than multiple pieces please calm down honey!" Jokes were often used to break the tension and lighten the atmosphere but this elven husband's words only helped to further weighten it.

Alolvi who was obviously present had a frighteningly serious expression as begging eyes began to fall upon his figure.

Guys, the sickness was covid! I won't say much since we all know our good friend covid. Fortunately, the last I showed any symptoms was maybe two days ago with a light cough so I am all better now. Onto another topic...

Honestly, this covid hit me a lot harder than I could have anticipated though it is not entirely to blame for my extended absence. Realistically I just couldn't muster the will to do much of anything. This has been a slow yet foreseeable outcome. I have another novel, it's been months since the last chapter. I like to edit videos occasionally and it's been months since I last did that too. I stream games with friends, I like to make and program games, I like to edit images and draw, and... I like to write. But I haven't done any of that in the past 2 to 3 weeks.

It's been a downwards trend with bouts of random melancholy. I don't want to say it's depression, I think depression is no joke, so it's more likely to just be burnout. But burned out on what exactly? Life? Well, that's a depressing thought so let's not head in that direction. I'll just say that I would usually apologize right about now but I think I'll skip that. I think it's just that I have been putting too much on my plate and that resulted in me doing nothing. I work and go to college so yeah... maybe I should cut back on some activities...

Anyway, I sincerely appreciate anyone that has read this far as this is something that I haven't shared with anyone. The anonymity of the internet helps me be a lot more open about my problems. you are all acting as my unpaid therapists and I appreciate that.

Finally, thanks for reading~!
