Every day was the same for Sybil. She would wake up, walk to the lake, and spend at least an hour or two mourning. Then, she would spend the rest of her day wandering through the Grove aimlessly, before finally returning back to the lake at the end of the day, and longingly staring out at the crater, wishing she could bring back the woman she killed. Finally she went home, and to bed, only for the cycle to start all over again.
When she lost her wings, she felt like she also lost who she was. Everything she used to do, all the people she used to know, were all out of her reach, now. For the longest time, she thought what she wanted more than anything else was change; for something, anything, exciting to happen. But she never realized just how hard change could be. Now, all she wanted more than anything else was just for things to go back to the way they used to be..
In the days before the fall.
[spoiler]So, since this part was a little shorter, let's talk about the story really quick!
This is, obviously, not an entire novel, but rather, just the first chapter. I'm not planning on posting the other chapters, but if I do it'll probably be under a different name--as I'm thinking "The Days Before the Fall" is probably only the name of the first chapter, rather than the whole story! However, that doesn't mean I'm done here! Next week, I'm planning on posting a sort of deleted scenes/fun facts type thing.
Some time after that I'm hoping to start posting another story of mine called "Amateur Heroes", though hopefully I'll have a better title by the time I finish the first chapter of.. Of course, that's assuming I wind up with a decent first chapter at all, as I'm not really liking how it's turning out so far.
In any case, I really hope y'all have enjoyed The Days Before the Fall! I had a lot of fun sharing it! I do wish we had a few more critics around, though..
But that's all for now, folks! Jambuhbye![/spoiler]

7 RepliesReally liked this story It doesn’t need to be a chapter, can be a short tale on its own, thou this last part feels a bit rushed like you didn’t give as much work to it as to all the others, idk 🤷♀️ Good anyway, all the pieces together. Keep writing 🧚♂️
