Fighting with You

I stare at him, a fire blazing like nothing I’ve ever seen before. We both draw our swords while maintaining eye contact that was so sharp it could cut paper. I take the first strike hoping this battle could end quicker, for a moment I thought that was what I wanted. I wanted to see the pain in those hateful, dark eyes and enjoy it. I needed to. He dodged and takes a step back. I swing again but t...

Ghosts

She saw him first, standing like a sentinel, sword drawn and set, tip-to earth as he leaned on it for support. His armor and crimson surcoat were battered and smeared with dark stains and mud, his hair a tousled shock of black. She could see his hair, matted and filthy with blood, because his helmet, famed for its distinctive golden inlay and hawk-like visor, had been shattered off his face in the...

Chords

The gentle singing of the strings was perhaps the only sound for several hundred yards—well, aside from the cheerful clicks and chirps of countless woodland birds. He would find me here, he always did.

There were a few miles between here and the dark lines of scorched earth where blade met blade and fire to fire. We had been warring for years, perhaps more, though none could name the date it beg...

The War: I

Prologue:

I saw it. I saw him—he did it.. I can’t believe my dad did this… “F-Father…? What’s happened?” I asked—as if I don’t know. “Tsk… tsk… tsk.. little angel.. do you know what happens to traitors? They get killed—now if their my own blood what will happen? Hmm?”




My heart dropped.. I saw my brother screaming in agony—I gasped and started crying. “Lucien!” I screamed dropping to my feet.. b...

Forbidden

The Sun And Her Shadow

The gate separated the two rival kingdoms of light and darkness. While these kingdoms never wanted to interact, they never could because the gate was locked by some kind of magic no one knew how to open.


Both kingdoms had a heir, on one side a prince and the other a princess. One day the princess found the gate and found the prince on the other side of it.


“Who are you?” the princess with...

Embers Between Kingdoms

Long before the stars bore witness to peace, two kingdoms stood divided by blood, steel, and an ancient grudge older than memory. The northern kingdom of Velmara, fierce and unyielding, rose from ice-bound mountains where war was tradition and loyalty, law. To the south, the sun-drenched realm of Seravelle shimmered with gold, song, and cunning—its people no less dangerous, their blades veiled beh...

Forgotten Thrones And Shattered Things

“Why must your love come in rations, Mother?” I purred, sprawled in a ribbon of sunlight, watching her cradle the others. “Am I not just as lovely?”



They call this place a palace, and so it is — golden drapes, silken cushions, and the softest light that ever kissed a cat’s fur. My name is Rosella. I am the finest Persian in this house, and perhaps, the loneliest.—in fact my owner, Ara, is the pr...
