I stormed into the map room, interrupting a meeting called by my little brother. Only 16 and he thinks he’s in charge of the entire royal guard.
“Maliah what’s so urgent you’ve interrupted this meeting?” He scoffed, the entire room had their eyes on me. My hair tied into a tight knot on the back of my head, satchel overflowing with papers, and my dress barely covering my bare feet. I straight...
I rev up my hover bike, managing to get it in the air right as the blue and red lights round the corner. Peeking glances behind me as I sped across the sky, dodging other vehicles, swerving around buildings to loose my tail. I park my vehicle in the parking lot of a donut shop, and make the rest of the trip by foot, careful to keep from being followed. I slide into an abandoned building, greeted b...
Do you ever just wake up from a dream or finish a book and remember you’re not royalty, and your not a wizard, and your not anybody. Do you ever just wake up and realize that you live with your grandma in a town called Eskerist. A small town, the type of place where everyone knows everyone, and yet you still manage to be no one. Because for twenty two years I’ve woken up to the same realization e...
I make my way down the staircase slowly so everyone in the throne room has time to admire my gown. A large black satin dress, with red rubies strategically placed in a way that each time I take a step one of the gems catches the sunlight. And to top it all off my newest crown, made of pure black gold with the most lovely rubies set into it to match my dress. I finally reach my throne and wave to m...
They say sunshine like a happy thing. Like it’s not a ball of fire in the sky. Like it doesn’t dry up beautiful things. Like it’s better than anything in this universe. I used to adore it, admire it, the brightest star out there. But when the moon disappeared, when the sun stopped setting, I grew a hatred for it. It made everyone crazy. Not crazy like “oh my gosh where did nighttime go?” but crazy...
They sent out a warning two weeks ago, they asked that we send out the royal family or our kingdom would go up in flames, but the citizens of Avleok are loyal. But as the flames began to rise people seemed to wish they’d changed their minds sooner, including myself. Now I’ve fought many battles but fire does not cower at a blade, so here I am, armed in the armor of an Avleokan warrior, not only tr...
“Adria you don’t have to do this!” Ethan calls out, keeping his hand up above his head as he walks closer. “Just, just put the gun down, Adria. Just put it down.” Derek’s sobbing beneath me, some hero. Then again given his family’s history that was already inevitable.
“Adria your father wouldn’t want this!” Derek try’s to argue.
“You don’t get to talk about my father! You don’t get to tell ...
Every morning she comes. A beautiful woman with hair as gold straw, a kind lady too, she brings light into everyone’s life, when she comes around though I tend to hide behind my mother, Earth, like a foolish child. We’re polar opposites, when I first saw her I figured she could never love me. My black jeans, with large holes in the knees-some times when they’re particularly large my mother calls t...
Mack is the name, fixings the game. I’ve fixed a lot of things. Cars, phones, furniture, give me an item and I’ll give you a price, but today, today is…different.
“Can you fix it?” A young man, maybe twenty asks. He’s normal, blue eyes, fiery red hair, pale, and lean. But for some reason he was different.
“Not if I don’t know what it is, red.” I raise an eyebrow at the odd contraption, it ha...
“My whole existence I’ve been nothing but nice, sure I’ve unalived a few unworthy humans, you can thank me later! And I mean who hasn’t destroyed a few city’s? Yet for some reason these pesky humans have branded me as ‘bad’! Me, the greatest spirit in the world, no, universe, ‘bad’? I think not! And-” Ugh cut of by humans AGAIN!
“Surrender now spirit!” A large - idiotic- man yells, in my face,...
