It’s getting harder and harder to breathe the further I go. With every step my legs feel heavier, and the blood pulses in my eardrums and my eyes. I have to make it there; it’s not enough that I’ve gotten this far; if I don’t reach the Aerie it was all for nothing.

If I can get there, I can beg Excellus to return to us. I can implore him to return and show mercy, reunite the letters and restore o...

I had done a lot of crazy things as an assassin. Rescuing someone from as palace prison wasn’t the on that list.

Alas, I had fallen for a clumsy soldier and we had gone in the run. We had managed to escape the king for 7 months before Jacob had been kidnapped.

And now, here I was, the one place I never thought I would be, doing something I never thought I would do.

Nevertheless, I started the asce...

I stand on the rocky cliff face, my black boots brushing the ground. My shoes are all I have left; everything else was taken from me. Ever since the Virus came. The knives at my waist are tied to my belt. They thump my hips as I walk, and the feel and sound of the weapons hitting me is sickening. Before the Virus, no one had any reason to own a weapon- and now I own five. My two silver daggers, a ...

Cease your slumber.

End your delay.

You are to move, to grow.

To evolve, to expand.

You are no mere inanimate object,

destined to remain where you are,

eternally.

You are alive.

You breathe.

You suffer.

You triumph.

You bleed.

You heal.

You forget.

You learn.

Continue your journey.

Continue to ascend.

Continue,

to arise....

As Renalore arrived at the edge of the cliff, he scanned the sight that lay before him. A massive hill that led to a structure whose size was unknown to man. It was the building where the archmage made the talismans that gave people like himself powers. It was a white tower that was intricately crafted with many designs that man only dreamt of doing.

Renalore had received his talisman at thi...

“Ughhhhh why is it so far upppp,” Katherine whines.

”Do you want to get Zane out of this mess of not,” Aaron asks, looking up at the high heirs judgment temple.

”I mean.. Do we have to?”

”Eh, wanna leave him there,” Aaron says smiling.

”LAST ONE DOWNS A ROTTEN EGG,” Katherine says before jumping off the cliff.

“NOT FAIR,” Aaron yells as he runs down the path.

A ramp stood in front of me reaching high up towards the white tower which was sat tall on the mountain. It seemed so threatening but I had made it this far so I can’t give now. I take a step, and another until I’m right in front of the tower.

It was polished so white it shone in the early morning sun. It was so tall it reached high above the clouds.

I take a deep breath and pull the heavy kno...

I can’t go on.

The sight of hope

Not far ahead

But I can’t make it.

I can’t go on....

I come to plead with you.

Give them the life I’ll never have.

They will fight for it

Only 5 years old,

They will fight for it.

Wounded and bloody,

They will fight for it.

Abandoned and weak,

They will fight for it.

I come to plead with you.

Give them the life I never had.

They will climb over mountains

Bottle the clouds

Cause rain to flow through their veins

For a chance.

A chance at life.

The li...

Apparently I wrote this like poetry in paragraphs?? I don’t know so I don’t expect you to :)

If I can get us to the top, they’ll be safe. If I can get us to the top, they’ll be okay. If I can get us to the top, they’ll survive. If I can get us to the top, they won’t suffer. I can’t get us to the top.

Way up above, the mighty structure shimmers in the afternoon light. Angels of peace float...
