The red… it’s beautiful.

How it burns in the fires, gleams in the blood. The shadows gleam and writhe with newly departed souls. Everything is perfect.

I trace my fingers along their face, pale and wet. I wonder how this one left—not that it matters anymore.

I walk silently through this raging peace, cries and screams dulling gradually; they will all find solace in my arms.

I find a poor c...

The king was gone and his allies seemingly non existent. However, she made a flicking mistake. The king is the king for a reason. The throne, the land, the honor all belong to him. She has signed her certificate of defeat. The king, in a land far far away.. has begun winning…...

Chaos and tragedy were running wild through the realm. Just how she had planned.

A few hours earlier

Marissa gazed out the slit of a window she was given in her stone-cold prison.

She could see the rooftops below her, the flood of towers spanning out as far as one could see.

The land that was once hers. That could be hers yet again.

If only she could be free.

She moved towards the window...

No mattter where in the world we are,

Every city has such little time,

See, how it fell to the ground?

Every living is nothing when now,

Walls, they held us, but they’ve fallen down,

Rooms filled up with life, pieces from lives…

Houses had a bit of you, families held together

All cause you’ve been there,

Years coming apart, but you can’t put these walls between hearts.

Fill up the space,

Don’t ...

The smell of smoke burns my lungs. It is my favorite smell, that and gasoline. I sit atop the roof of the only stable building, staring out. It’s wonderful. The power. The control. It’s all mine. But now what?

The reason I had done all this is simple really. I was accused of being a witch, so I showed them the mercy of one.

I had ran away the night they planned to burn me and stowed away on a sh...

She stalked through the crowded streets. Nobles and servants fled quickly as flames rose from the buildings. A sly smirk rose from her lips.

Everyone would die tonight. All whom had did her wrong. She slid the smooth iron dagger from the hilt strapped to her thigh.

Her black heels clicked on the stone stairs of the palace. Shoving aside servants; motioning them to leave the castle. Through...

“This isn’t how it is supposed to end…” Is all I could muster as I watch my family home fade into the background. I do not know the men surrounding me or this bear of a man holding me like a bag of rice: sometimes over the shoulder. Gently held with two hands at times. But most definitely thrown on the ground when the bear man decided he wasn’t bear enough.

I am terrified. What person wouldn’t b...

Chaos and tragedy were running wild through the realm. Just how she had planned…

The high seat of the Trinial Accord, the Sepulchral Crown, was on fire. Oaths sealed in water bubbles unraveled and spilled over the edges of the floating isle. Celestial memories, once protected, now bled and screamed back into the ashy skies. Colorful illusions went up in flames. 

And Asra watched it all burn, in he...

He came to my head again, my best friend who died of Asthma .

I was 11 at the time and he was 9, I’ve always had a thing for young ones ..he was the cutest little black dude with an accent I cherish so well.

We grew up the right way and there was no age boundary!

He was almost the same age with my brother but we had a deeper connection with each other.

He’d come to our house and I’d go to his,...

“Today, we burn.”

It is the chant of the women of this town who have been born into this hypocritical, religious sect only for their bodies ability to reproduce. If a woman is unable to conceive, she must remain in repentance as a nurse to the women who are pregnant. For no other reason than the Haven’s desire to remind women of how little they mean. I am the nurse. But I am a person who did not ...
