'Karma?' Cerlius thought. 'Rules? Those ideas make the world sound like a fair place. What a bunch of bullshit. Fucking Human.' A black thread appeared and disappeared, and a crack rang out. The little strength he had left quickly decreased, and he felt something snap inside of him.
It wasn't painful but something was gone. He felt numb to it, all the stress and worry. He stepped outside of himself and looked at all these adults, these children pulling him into their stupid game, and only shook his head. "Head Mage, I have told you what happened. Would you prefer if there was a truth orb present?"
Lance pulled the artifact in question out of his spatial ring but the Head Mage waved for him to put it away. "There was no arrow in your room, only a crack in the stone window frame. Your story implies that an arrow fell out of solid stone. Or will you insist that you passed out immediately?"
I AM SORRY ABOUT THE CLIFFHANGERS!!!!! It is almost impossible to avoid them because of the style of this format. I have one main scene from one storyline, split up among four chapters (although it looks like I'll have five chapters for this scene. it's an exception), then one main scene from the other also split up. I cannot have a complete scene within 1000 chapters and I cannot write longer chapters or I'd have to change my upload schedule to once every four days. Would you guys perfer the later schedule or the current? Just to be clear, I am seriously asking. It's all up to you since you're the consumer.
