"And you left," He began, clearly exasperated despite the worry on his face, "Why?" "Because I had no other choice" "You always have a choice. That's the nature of being human, isn't it? The ability to decide?" He paused "You chose to run away. You disappeared and for 11 goddamn years and the way you left it we thought that this was your choice; to die in August." You'd assume in any universe where powers were the basis of life that adventure would be inevitable. That the trials and challenges would sort the weak from the strong and let the heroes shine through. However, oftentimes it's the lack thereof that makes for the strongest men. Wilbur has all the time in the world in his hands- literally. But the choices he makes can cause him to lose more time than he ever imagined, right when he needed it the most. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This book contains a lot of fluff, a lot of angst, zero smut. There is no shipping of minors or those who have not stated they like it. MILD TRIGGER WARNINGS THROUGHOUT THE BOOK, THEY WILL BE LISTED AT THE START OF EACH CHAPTER! Another disclaimer, I dislike using creator's real names, however, the beginning of this book does use them. I tried to make the nicknames they go by make sense in terms of plot material and I sincerely apologize if that makes anybody uncomfortable.
