Irene the Sly: Chapter 7"So we just going to ignore what happened at the hot springs?" Samhal whispered to Myre while they climbed the long spiraling stairs."I don't know, I just got more important things to worry about right now," Myre said keeping her focus ahead of her."Like what?""Like that freckled red-haired whore who is trying to move in on my Caleb.""Oh my god not this again," Samhal said exasperated. "Look guys a...
Prince Rugal: Chapter 2Beholden to their sights, Rugal and Iris found the next floor was a city taken from the pages of time. The buildings and streets were all cleaner than gems. Tall white spires stood out in the distance with large blank holes spinning around them as part of the design. Everything looked like it was made for people nearly twice the size of normal humans, (more around Curth's size in fact.)Rugal was fro...
Volga the Apprentice: Chapter 6"Look we don't know who tipped them off," Edmin said. "But Mavis warned us before the guards came busting down our door, we can't stay in Dorgal anymore; the council fears we will cause an insurrection."Kyra sighed deeply then asked, "And would that little news about the king’s bloodline still being alive, would that have anything to do with the city folk and their sudden animosity?""Maybe w...
On-line is so much different than real life People put on a mask and be who they like Spatting their words can hurt you like a knife You never know when the nastiness will strike Some people are quite egotistical And love to hear themselves preach They love to be very critical Dictating and giving you a speech I’m just looking for friends Who want to laugh and have fun Friendships that will not end Selecting the special o...
Prince Rugal: Chapter 1Rugal woke up hearing the distant sounds of familiar voices. He opened his eyes slowly and saw two blurry faces in front of him, blinking slowly a few times, his eyes came into focus and he saw Veera and Iris starring down at him. "Rugal can you hear me?" Iris asked. "Are you alright?"Rugal managed a small smile and said, "A little water logged, but I'll live." He then sat up slowly as the girls hel...
The shackles chafed her wrists as they moved against the cold, wet metal. Her bare back is pressed to the frigid, damp, and lichen-eaten stone wall. The only light she could see was through the small barred window on the door. She leaned against wall starving, thirsting, and worst of all freezing from the cold northern air drafting in through the cracks at her back. Why is this happening to me? She thought. What do they w...
Irene the Sly: Chapter 6As they walked, Theo and Nethlen strode up between Irene and said, "So new girl, got any special talents?""None that may be useful in here. No," she answered."Oh, well our parents were fire dancers," Theo said."Yea so we inherited some cool tricks," Nethlen continued for his brother."Watch this.""Watch this." They both said at the same time.The twins then snapped their fingers and a sparkling fire...
"Now, what's a pretty girl like you doing in a dump like this?"The question was so corny that I had no choice but to laugh. I looked up from the book I had been reading while eating my dinner to see Ryan gazing down at me. Seeing my amusement, he gave me a smug look."Well, had I known that cheesy pickup lines were the key to you not being hostile, I'd have used it a long time ago," he said. "I've built up quite the collec...
Volga the Apprentice: Chapter 5During the long trip to Freymere Volga slowly figured out how to ride a horse decently enough. Half the time he couldn't even get the horse to move forward. The other times he would either veer it way off course and bump into Kyra's horse, or he would fall off. She would smirk or giggle every time he messed up but she would always stop to help him out again.The trip still took them weeks on...
Thrain and company: Chapter 9Thrain woke shivering with cold and with the sensation of tiny needles jabbing into his face. He got up slowly and found himself in a dark and damp little cavern area, with the jagged little crystals forming small bedrocks above the pool of water around. "Good you're awake." A voice said from behind him.He turned and saw it was Garren who said that, and next to him were two bodies, one was Ade...
Irene the Sly: Chapter 5The next floor was just like the previous one but with more trees in it. Soon as they got up there they broke a hard right and hugged the wall going on until they were all out of breath. They stayed grouped together this time as Adelea said, "Alright everyone stay low and keep quiet, very quiet."They did as she said, but Samhal argued quietly, "Yeah for all the good that did us last time.""The last...
“I’m sorry, what?” A frustrated sigh met my question and I fought the urge to take my annoyance out on the owner of the said sigh. “For the third time,” Ryan grumbled, “Do you want to see one of the movies that are on the syllabus? Or do you want to do a book report first?” I stared at him blankly, having no idea what he was talking about. The entire concept of studying for my classes seemed inconsequential these days. Ev...
Thrain and company: Chapter 8Arriving on the next floor, Rugal and Garren gently set down Iris and Veera and used their bags for makeshift pillows. Then, alongside everyone else, they sat down exhausted; ready to sleep right there. Thrain remained seated but looked around the floor they were on.It was dimly lit, but he could see that ahead lay some sort of dark chasm, almost like an abyss. Over it was a narrow set of rock...
The Frigid Prince: Chapter 4"You there stop," Enaguille called out to the knight. No response he kept on going with his whistling. "Borris of Jaer."Borris stopped after that and turned around slowly to face Enaguille and the others. After sizing them up, he grinned and said, "Heh, I have not used that name in some time.""So you're really him?"Borris smirked, "Aye I'm him. I certainly had quite the reputation if someone yo...
DECISIVE MOMENTS – CHAPTER 7 “Hey, man! Can I borrow your shaving cream? I’m out.” I turned to see Connor standing at the bottom of the stairs. He was glancing into the kitchen where Teagan was cooking. I had offered to help but was turned down with an emphatic no! I still hadn’t gotten any better with my dismal culinary skills. I found it rather offensive that the two of them continued to remind me of this, however. “Yea...
