Emberynus The Dragonslayer

WOW! Things are moving fast! I was going to write something yesterday, but then another page of writing appeared!

So…. before the large break in the castle, I had Ku’Aya (nicknamed Ku) and Abirami. Ku calls him Ami, but Abirami hates that nickname. Ku is a 14yr. old Aelacrin girl, and Abirami is an 18 year old Aygiff boy. Aelacrin’s are green…[Read more]

Rosemary turned toward the sound of Miss Painted Face and Alaric’s conversation. Jade reluctantly turned with her.

”I’ve never seen so many strangers in my life,” said Rosemary.

”We’ve never seen any, you mean, until now.” Jade braced herself for another conversation with the princeling brat, now with the added benefit of — another dancer! O…[Read more]

🙂 And I also want to thank you for your review of my dystopian plot idea. It was very helpful. 🙂 (One can never use too many smiley face emojis XD)

ENYDD

A man (How old is Avin? I’m guessing mid- thirties to early forties) moved towards me as one would towards a frightened animal. My lips quirked upward. I must look terrified.…[Read more]

“Failure to accept your fatal flaws shall end in death. Touch the mirrors and begin your trials.”

Uhhhhhh … what made the mirror’s special?

How are mirrors related to fatal flaws?

What trials?

“So, who wants to go first?” comes a strange voice I hadn’t heard yet – yet being defined as ‘since I fell through the first hole in reality.’

Pu…[Read more]

Avin

He relaxed. They were all talking to someone else now. He glanced around the room. There wasn’t much to see; just a cave, with a chandelier in it. He frowned. That didn’t make sense, but nothing here did.

He caught sight of a movement along the wall: there was a girl there, barely old enough to be called a woman. She clung to the shadows,…[Read more]

*waves shyly* Hi everybody!

Nithel was just… so done. He put two fingers on his forehead and stared at the three mirrors.

Accept your unforgiveness and vengefulness.

Accept your anger and wrath.

Accept your greed and selfishness.

The first and last caused no fear in him. None at all. The second did… as he thought of times in battle where uncontrollable rage had…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf  😂 If Rosemary sees Alaric’s hands, she’s going to demand medical supplies.

Alaric

“And just who do you think you are?” Jade said, hands on her hips. “Maybe you could learn to hold your own tongue, but I think your position is irrecoverable. Get yourself out of the glass if you can, princeling. I think you’ll find that your authority is nothing in this place.”

She spun on her heel and stalked off, leaving Alaric standin…[Read more]

Enydd is being ridiculously stubborn with me, revealing she has a different side to her but refusing to show it to me. Because of her refusal to cooperate, her narrative may seem out of character at times.

ENYDD:

There were voices coming from further down the room. New voices. I groaned. Wonderful. This meant that there were probably more…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf  Yep. Permanently damaged. 😂 You did good at writing Jade, too.

Jade glared at the well-dressed brat. The price of his clothes would support an entire tenement of Culled for a month. “And just who do you think you are?” she said, hands on her hips. “Maybe you could learn to hold your own tongue, but I think your position is irr…[Read more]

If you’re still interested in the theme (which I certainly find interesting!) I see no reason to let it go.

It doesn’t strike me as derivative of 80s movies. At least from the part posted, I get more of an Andy Weir vibe, the near-future perspective, pulling from all those extant schools and organizations. Also, even amid words like “quarantine,”…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Lorcan knew from the moment he laid eyes on her brightly coloured hair and scowl that she was going to be a problem.

asdfghjkl that made me think of that one audio XD that perfectly applies to Cal LOLL!!!

(“A girl doesn’t dye her hair that color unless she has psychological problems.” “My hair color has nothing to do…[Read more]

Alaric

Back and forth, back and forth, over the same stones he always paced over. “…in the third year of his reign, the Southern Duchies produced a total of $17,000 quids, the largest recorded gross income to date.”

The light was getting bad. He squinted at the page. The servants would be in soon to light the chandeliers.

“In the same year,…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Oh she is RUTHLESS. I’m looking forward to this XD

Lorcan

Someone cleared their throat behind Lorcan. He turned to see yet another girl , her hair dyed a bright indigo glaring up at him. Lorcan knew from the moment he laid eyes on her brightly coloured hair and scowl that she was going to be a problem. “I’m Cal. I don…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

LOL, here we go XD I’m going to introduce Cal and let her escalate the situation as she always does XD

Calliope

This was definitely not where I was supposed to be. I glared around the dim clearing, judging everyone.

A man skulking in the shadows, one standing confidently in the middle of the clearing, arms crossed,…[Read more]

Avin

The man looked away, and Avin relaxed. Rosemary and Jade were talking at him, and Avin was left to himself. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a sudden movement, and heard a sound a moment later. A sound like someone was humming a long distance away. Sight and sound met as a young woman ran against Lorcan and fell backwards, surprise…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy the fact that Kit has already reached boi status is legitimately concerning to me

I’ll try to write their introduction today!  In the meantime, here is a sketch of a smug Kit
