It had been years since he'd seen her. After the two Stetrin siblings had had their quarrel, they'd gone their separate ways, vowing never to meet again. But now Adam was ready to find his sister.

Kallie had been furious, and had vanished into thin air. Adam knew this was not going to be easy, her magic had always been stronger than his. If she didn't want him to find her, it was going to be ne...

River Bound

I never noticed it till now. How the water flowed so perfectly through my fingers or how they made gentle dams of water over my hands as I traced the beauty of it. The rivers were my safe place, right on the edge of my village where the broken bridge began. The other side of the river was called Valencia. It was beautiful, the birds singing and the water flowed just the same. It was peaceful, unti...

Not Yet!

I woke up to a large crack of lightning and jumped up, my adrenaline rushing. Blinking, I look around at the dark room until another crack had me tripping over the slippers I keep by my bed. Clumsily falling to the window, I check outside for the storm.

Nothing. The sky was peaceful and the sun would be up soon. I frowned but flipped around as another crack sounded. A few smaller ones followed an...

The land was bone dry and decaying. It I had been many years since Ryder had walked through the same land back then it was filled with lush vegetation, animals and a beautiful lake that glimmered in the summertime. He smiled as he thought back to the last time he was here.

The wind was warm. His long golden blond hair was in tied back. Back then, he had not even been annoited as a prince yet, he...

I Wander

1 min read

I wander throughout this barren land.

Walking by foot, not by hand.

Walking along the desert sand.

Searching for the lost relic of Aksiland.

"What's the relic of Aksiland?" you might ask.

It is something that deals with my past.

See my loved one died one fateful night.

When evils came looking for strife.

They pulled a gun to their head.

And there, they bled, bled, bled.

So I mus...

I am a prisoner. I may be a prisoner of war, or a prisoner of crime. But I can’t remember. The only thing I can remember is this prison, this enslavement. There are others, but have they all died? I don’t know. That’s what I tell myself. I guess I finally learned what freedom is. It’s wherever you can find it.

I pace my room waiting for Yako to come back. “What kind of name is Yako?” The voice in...

The “Mad” Man

Everybody wants to judge, but no one wants to listen. In my family, being the oldest brother of five, I was supposed to lead by example—never do anything wrong.

But they won’t listen to my reasons. They don’t know why I killed my wife. To them, I am just a mad man. But they don’t know the whole story.

We live in a world where everything is free to those willing to risk anything to take it; thi...

An Escape From Reality

I long to be in a place where time nearly freezes, where you can ride above the heavens without a care in the world.

I want to be in a place where all your wildest dreams come true; and the seemingly impossible is always possible.

Where the sky is always painted like a sunset with swirls of violet and Cotten-candy pink.

Where there is nothing to be scared or worried about and you are free to ...
