Growing up in the forest I had always dreamed of earning my wings like the others. It seemed like an unrealistic dream for a girl from the southern edge to chose there wings over there magic.

My family told me that to become a warrior for the kingdom of the great tree in the northern edge was to dream of something impossible. They compared it to a fish wishing to walk or a bird dreaming of the o...

One stab and it’s over.

She licks off the blood from the piece of glass she’s holding, rubbing off tiny drops of the liquid from her mouth with the tip of her fingers.

She wasn’t prepared today.

She lost her only knife somewhere far, deep in the woods, leaving her with nothing else but broken glass.

“Jump.”

I look at her like she’s crazy. “What?!!”

“Jump.”

I blink & turn to see if my bf heard what she said. “Did she seriously say-?”

“Jump?” He finishes, look...

“They make a huge fuss about it.”

Snail yawned and rolled his eyeballs.

“It’s supposed to be their coming of age trial. Each one is given a unique task. If it’s done properly, they get wings. But you would think they had survived a plague and slayed a dragon to hear them talk. As if the little tasks were such valiant affairs.”

“Of course, because none of them ever has to do anything actually h...
