Aydin

I had to stop. Crying wasn’t going to get me anywhere, it never had. I took a shuddering breath and tried to pull the sounds into focus.

I felt marginally better, it was a little easier to breathe at least.

Someone was arguing. I recognized the heated tones and hard back-and-forth. Who were those idiots who thought now was a good time to…[Read more]

@calidris

so, I believe the Shrike has finally discovered Liorah, and he may or may not be rather smitten…

So, @everyone, yes, Liorah does have a love-interest in-story, but I decided to temporarily erase that from existence so I can figure out how Liorah reacts to having a crush, like Yila and Lorcan are doing.

It’s going to be chaos, she’s so o…[Read more]

@calidris

Lorcan has a long coat, right?  And if I remember correctly, he’s not wearing his mask anymore.

Yes he does 🙂 and he did indeed lose it, its so very tragic that his handsome features are now on full display, unfortunately for everyone they must now endure this, especially Yila…🤣

This took an incredibly long time because I’m trying out a new style with Saskia!  It took a while to get into her mindset, plus she’s not very well developed yet

Also, I wrote random portions of this kind of late, so some of it is definitely not going to be written as well lol

Saskia:

“What’s he doing here?” Sasha stabs a finger over my head,…[Read more]

I have a great-uncle who served in Vietnam; I don’t see him anymore because he lives on the East Coast. But I remember meeting him once when I was a kid. He seemed quiet, maybe depressed, and smelled of tobacco. My mom said he was once a very happy, out-going and fun uncle; but the war changed him drastically and never really spoke…[Read more]

Hey there! Thanks for your thoughts! And Merry Christmas! I hope you all are having a great holiday.

Yeah, our family used to have a fake tree for years until we lost it during a move to a new house. Then we started using a live tree. I never knew how soft a fresh cut pine could be!

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I haven’t done an in-depth study of the Vietnam War, nor of what happened to our soldiers when they returned. I do think, though, that the war was a tragedy and it’s sad that we had to see something similar happen in the middle east.

Kallun gathered small rocks together and used it as glue. He stuck some pieces of armor together. He molded the metal and stone together as one big plate.

Julian stripped off his armor and piled it in the middle of the floor. “Here. Do what you want with it.”

Ellie bent down and started messing with it like she knew what she was doing. “Clueless….” She mumbled

Alessio had decided to leave out the part where “immune” was loosely defined as “won’t kill me” but it was a moot point now. He only caught Nithel the moment he popped some sort of nuts in his mouth. For two seconds Alessio completely panicked. But his friend grabbed another fruit and he didn’t drop dead or anything…
But Nithel’s action made Ale…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown

Hehe it seems there has! It would have been so funny to see her try to hack him to bits while he dodges out of the way smiling and saying ‘Oops you missed me’ and ‘try to work on ypur footwork darling’

LOL, that would be hilarious XD She totally would have done that last time XD

I really like Liorah! I’d love to know h…

@rose-colored-fancy

It also struck me as very funny that Liorah would have absolutely murdered Lorcan for like half the things he’s said to her and now she just laughs it off?? There has been✨character development!!✨

@irishcelticredflowercrown

I am flattered that Liorah thinks so

I really wasn’t expecting her to say that XD She’s kind of surprising me by how much grace she can give people. I mean, yeah, that was her entire character arc for the second book but I’m still surprised she learned her lesson XD

It also struck me as very funny that Liorah would have…[Read more]

He probably wasn’t a bad person at heart, but I was going to snap if I talked to him much longer, and I really didn’t want to do that.

@rose-colored-fancy I am flattered that Liorah thinks so🤣

Liorah

Lorcan scowled at me, then started to laugh, the first time I’d ever seen him do so.

The mixture of startlement and warmth was the same as the first time I’d heard Aydin laugh. My memory flitted back to that time and I smiled, slightly. I didn’t wish those days back, it had been filled with bitter heartbreak and heavy days, but that was…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Haha happy to hear it😂😂

Lorcan

Lorcan felt the irritation towards Liorah’s words grow – then it suddenly evaporated. And he burst out laughing.

Lorcan wasn’t sure what to make of this sudden outburst, this breaking down of his icy wall – then again, nothing was normal anymore.

Liorah looked at him like he had gone cra…[Read more]

For Sci-Fi, check out the Ender Saga and Asimov’s original Foundation trilogy (the prequels are also good, though not as good as the trilogy. I don’t recommend the sequels.)

N.D.Wilson’s Ashtown Burials series is phenomenal. Christian author and super creative. Intense, original, and timeless.

Kallun nodded, waving his fire hand around, playing with the flame as he did with the rocks. Eventually he blew the flame out.

“Im not sure what else we can do” Ellie stated
