Before And After
Simon
Life is different now. Now that there is no humdrum, no insidious dark things chasing after me anymore. As soon as the humdrum was destroyed things went back to their normalcy. The old families are still fighting for power as always but we are more unified now then ever before because our common enemy was defeated. With the humdrum gone, attention could now be focused on all the monsters and since then they've laid low. Since, they don't have a potential ally in the humdrum to come into power, they've retreated back into their own. Probably scheming for some bigger and greater plans.
Things have turned into a normalcy that isn't anything quite like I'm used to, even if normal meant being attacked constantly by monster or Baz. Even then, I had a purpose, defeat the humdrum, fight the monsters, save mage society. Before, I always imagined what my life would be like once I defeated the humdrum, what I would do then. Those hopes of the future had more of a quality of what I thought I wanted. Like Agatha. The nice house, a mundane job, maybe something that her father had found me. Maybe even kids. That was in the before, when I needed these hopes for the future to keep me going on. Agatha was my end game, my goal, my prize if I won. What I was supposed to have. Now, in the after, everything is different. I didn't really think I'd have a life but now the I do, I've come across a whole new problem. What I am supposed to do now?
