The greatest library in the world is also the deadliest - a reality that could tip the scales of my fate.

I’m trying hard not to dwell on that fact as I venture through the dark cavern halls of the infamous place leading me to the center that houses infinite knowledge.

It’s a place of legend most don’t believe.

But my ancestors built it so I know it’s real.

Too bad they didn’t leave me instruc...

_"ZAKE?" _

He knew he was in trouble the moment he heard the voice. The game was up.

In a flash, he leaped off the couch. The TV remote clattered onto the ground, blowing out his cover.

_Shoot…_

With a swift motion, he transfo...

“And I saw the crossiant sanitizer.” I tell my friends.

I walk into the French restaurant, the scent of delicious, formal foods filling the air. I take a seat at a near table and the waiter comes along in no time.

“I’ll be your waiter tonight. What may I get for you, madame?” Says the fancy waiter.

“I’d like ratatouille, please.” The stewed vegetab...

_Okay. _

It’s my favorite word, especially during a fight or competition. I can feel the adrenaline pumping through my veins as it sends a fire through my body. But it’s okay. Everything’s always okay.

As a ball of fire flies past my head, the thought consumes me that I’m okay. I send a blade across the room flying into my new enemy’s chest. It’s okay.

Okay’s important. It always has been. I...

I normally agree that texting lacks tone, but I could feel the devastation in Amanda’s message when she asked me if it was true about Logan being dead.

I swallowed hard, started clacking the keyboard on my phone with my thumbs, paused, deleted what I had just typed. I was grateful Amanda couldn’t see my reactions in real time.

I sighed heavily and dropped my hands to my sides, my phone clutched ...

It was the most important question in the world.

What the question was exactly, I hadn’t a clue.

But according to the Black Knight— whom had sent me on his best horse to deliver the message directly to the king— it was important.

So I rode through wind, rain, storms, and snow upon a horse while I held the message tightly in my hand as to defend it with all my life.I felt as though I needed to do...

“I’M FAMOUS!” Juniper barged into my kitchen, declaring her fame loudly. She quieted down a tad bit as she continued, “I’m famous among the elves!”

“Oh, wow, erm, cool?” I said, unimpressed because it’s not hard to be famous among the elves. They’re simple creatures, tall and purple, and not hard to please. “What did you do?”

“I saved a unicorn!”

She should’ve started with that; unicorns are in...

_Dear Thora,_

_I’ll be coming home soon! The Elden Clan has retreated, and with it the Yersl and Gwadum Clans. Soon, the War will be over and I’ll be home to you!_

_The Cheif is just letting us get a quick letter home, so I’m afraid this is all I’ll be writing. I love you, my dear Thora. I’ll see you soon._

I was really just trying to write something. Thought I’d make it depressing by le...

Join me where the fairies sing

Over the rocks resembling giants’ limbs,

Memories of their bodies set in stone

As if they’re still there; as if you can hear

The music of their breath

Rise

And fall.

Join me where the children play

Among the gnomes and toadstools

We can get there by a dragon’s wing

Or by riding the waves of the ocean,

Almost becoming the water itself,

Rising

And falling.

Join ...

Dad, I guess you never know what the last thing you say to someone is going to be. You know how people are always shocked when they realize they will never be able to see someone again or apologize for what they said or tell someone they love them? I now get it. So many things in life are hypothetical until you experience them. I wish I could tell Charlie that I love her. I wish I could apologize ...
