The hot summer days of Ziironie do not nearly compare to the winters of Yance. I think I might have died the second I stepped of aircraft, but if Zufu could cope with this for her entire childhood I think I could cope with the cold for a week. A week. It wasn’t that long was it? I just had to get The Last Phoenix and bring it back to Ziironie. Then all would be well. Easy.

I took a deep breath, r...

The sky had never looked so blue,

Grass had never looked so green.

The sun had never looked so bright,

The world had never felt so keen.

I walked down the street I had always knew,

The same suburb houses and motorway roar.

yet the sky had never looked so blue,

And my heart swelled with dread no more.

I heard the same cars that buzz down roads,

I smelt the same petrol that has me sick.

I saw the ...

“Dilara” the angel called, her voice a soft whisper. “Where are you going Dilara, what are you doing,”

Dilara froze,her eyes lay on her blood-stained hands and her white dresses pattern with deep, red splatters. Who had she become? She looked up, auburn hair tumbling done her face a glint of emerald marbles peeping through stray strains. The wind howled, a torrent of darkness flooded the night an...

I heard it did you?

Oh is it true?

I would so love it to be true.

Wouldn’t you?

I heard in at the shop last week,

I saw old Edward looking weak.

What was I to do!

Watch him bend there, tying his shoe.

So I help him,

He thank me so achkess in the lim.

Ripe enough to swim,

Was him.

In return he told me what he heard,

At the library that day,

It left me stirred,

Yes it left me stirred.

What I hear...

It was the worst day to get lost on a mountain.

I’m not entirely sure there is a good day to get lost on a mountain. If I was to choose a day, then it would be a day that I had my rain coat, some food and something to drink. It would not be a day were I had a three hour time limit to get over mount shrababa.

Well…I guess you can’t have everything I thought as I strode over a rocky ledge, the win...

Snap! Michel peered into his camera expectingly. This was the twentieth time he had tried to take the picture. His smile flickered, then vanished from his face, replaced by disgust. It still was not right. All around him was the hustle and bustle of the city, yet he didn’t even notice it’s frantic beauty. His eyes only lay on his craft, photography, and the cathedral that lay before him.

Stains P...

Tap. I woke up with a jolt. Tap. There it was again. A gentle tapping sound coming from inside my wardrobe. My body filled with fear. I had moved out of my parents house three months ago; no one else was in the house. Yes, that’s right, no one else is in the house. I locked all my doors and windows and… the basement. Oh no the basement. My basement can be opened from the outside. Tap. Tap. Heart p...

I looked through the shard of glass that lay in my hand only to find the person who had been holding me back all of these years, stoping me from doing what I truly wanted to do, making me believe I was worthless staring back at me. I was looking into a broken mirror and I was seeing me.

This was the “Cordillera”. What sort of person names a Mirror, I know. But my mother did and she named it after...

Bees offer more honey than they sting,

But the honey can be sour if you touch the wrong wing.

And sometimes people hide the honey they have made,

In fear they will give it to the wrong person,

And their love for them will fade....

Looking out of my first-class carriage window I saw luscious green fields where wild foliage crawled out from in between the fields like weeds and pavement slabs, nature taking ahold of the ground. I heard the loud huffs and p uffs of the train, so near and yet so distant. There is not a feeling quite like being on a mission and I for one should know, I have encountered many.

I turned the Rebecca...
