If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended.

The Forest

I was on a road trip today and we past by a group of trees that looked like they had been scorched. The whole section of that forest, on both sides of the road was black. Except the ground.

Even when it looks hopeless, you’ll find that after awhile, things will start growing again, it may not be like it was, it may not ever be that good, or it could be better. 

Just remember, even though things look destroyed, hold on and you may find it growing back.

Ch 7- Goblins

If Daisy denied feeling fear at that moment, she would have been lying. While trolls were more brutish, goblins knew the arts of torture, and would use it to get an answer. She desperately hoped one of her companions would say something, anything that would placate the goblins.

As they pulled her away from the dwarves, she felt hysteria build in her chest. She looked around wildly at her friends, and around at the goblins, trying to find any kind of way to fight back.
