The End Of Chapter 17…
Hi there everyone, author here to apologies cause this is the shortest chapter of thunder knight... the thing is this chapter was supposed to have 1500 words but it is only 680 something, I cut down so many things is cause I felt like it was written in too much detail so I did that (also when I'm writing thunder knight I imagine it as a web series when I am writing it, thinking how would each chapter look in a live action scene)
Poem: A group of friends with hearts so light,
Gathered under the stars one night.
The sizzle of pans, the scent of spice,
Stories and jokes made the evening nice.
A perfect moment, pure and true,
Under the stars with the closest crew.
But as the fire crackled and danced,
A shadow moved, and the mood was chanced.
