Inkhorn

Klein flinched as several of the men left for the back of the cave. One was missing. Instinctively, he wanted to help but this could be a trap. Someone had to be rearguard. And the temperature was dropping. Slipping up to the entrance of the cave, Klein looked out. Clouds had gathered and covered the sky. A flash of lighting burst in the cloud but…[Read more]

Nithel pants, leaning back against a large tree. Dust cakes his sweating body, and he looks around. Much of his long hair had slipped from its tie, and was pasted to his face and neck with dried sweat. He waited, listening to the darkness, but most is silent now except for small wind through the leaves. Hope dying… taking its last breath.

He…[Read more]

Also, nice!!  He sounds like a fun character. AND HE’S 19?! that’s Quin’s age exactly!

Yay! He and Quin are going to get along so well! I bet they’ll like each other!

@ashley-tegart

Yay! Someone who’s read The Space Trilogy! 😀 I love the series, but it seems to be one of Lewis’s more often overlooked works.

Ooh, you should definitely finish The Wingfeather Saga! The third and fourth books are a lot stronger than the first two, so if you liked the first two (or at least got through them), you’ll definitely…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy

Thanks for the input.

Also, nice!!  He sounds like a fun character. AND HE’S 19?! that’s Quin’s age exactly!

Thank you for the recommendations, everyone! 🙂

@r-m-archer

I love The Space Trilogy! I also read the first two books of the Wingfeather Saga, but not the other two, so thanks for the reminder to finish the series! 🙂

@taylorclogston

I’m actually reading the old Thrawn trilogy now! I’m partway through the final book and have really enjoyed…[Read more]

And.. I have a bit of time so I can write another bit for Acyn and Sahar.

Acyn

Niarok, Lorcan, Quin and the other man with the long dark hair had disappeared into a far tunnel and it was getting colder fast.

I didn’t even think about following the advice to get close and wait to freeze to death.

I shivered and hurried along the walls, looking…[Read more]

@denali-christianson

I’M ALL FOR THE BETA-READS BRING THEM ON!!!!!!!!!!!

Yayy!!! *Puts you on the list for a future draft*

@calidris

What’s the current character limit in here?  I have a couple of characters I want to develop more, but I’m not ready to pull Misu out quite yet…

It’s cool! I don’t know how many characters we’re at but I don’t ca…[Read more]

“…traumatically horrific-existential-crisis-in-a-box with a side of a malevolent menagerie?”

Peace settled over Jericho.  Peace she’d not had in a long time.  With a faint smile she began to fade away, gently laying a hand on Alessio’s shoulder to assuage as much of his anxiety as she could before she vanished.  And then she was gone.…[Read more]

Alessio was so. Done. With this.
And now the new girl had decided to be threatening and rude. Buuut. She was still on the other side of the cage.
“Get your weapon, Dom,” She snapped at–apparently–Dom, and they drew swords, naturally. So Alessio kinda sardonically backed a reasonable distance from the cage with the keys still in hand. Nithel would’v…[Read more]

@skylarynn

Ack! My bad *facepalms on desk which is conveniently in front of my face enough I can tell it’s a desk 😂😂*

Exhibit A of Bren’s light hair and eyes:

@this-is-not-an-alien

Brendin has a kinda rugged appearance and dark hair and brown eyes that turn gold when his power is activated and Jericho dresses kinda like a female Obi-Wan and has brown hair and dark eyes,

Where are you getting all the dark hair and dark eyes from!?  Brendin has very pale strawberry-blonde/red hair and pale grey-blue eyes…[Read more]

Evie stared in horror at the dude who was literally about to let the wolf out.

Why? Why would he do this???

Evie snapped her knives back into their sheaths and drew her sword, wishing for perhaps the first time in her life that she could actually shoot a bow – and that she had one with her.

No matter.

She’d take the wolf out on her steel…[Read more]

You did great Denali!!

Oh, and now I have to remember what Malvat looks like. Whelp, in dragon form he’s HUGE (like Smaug size), with ebony scales, silver horns like a crown on his head, and silver eyes. His wings are both black, but his talons are silver. In human form, he kinda looks like Thranduil from the hobbit with his same dragon horns,…[Read more]

Oh thank you!! 😂❤️At the end of it I was kinda like “dang all our characters actually did all that here, huh…”

Oh that’ll be fun!! (*assuming Alessio ever works up the nerve to actually say more than two words to Bren…*) Bren’s been a really interesting character to read about!!!
Oooh bring him in!!!!!

Ahhh see all our characters…[Read more]

Lupa shrugged her front biceps not at all reassuringly, but she then seemed to get some sort of confirmation from the wolf before she nodded to him and motioned insistently at the keys. Alessio let out a low measured breath. Normally he’d be able to tell whether someone was lying or not, but reading the emotional subtext of animal’s bod…[Read more]

@denali-christiansen

YES! I think I know what you’re talking about! Which was your favorite level? I got all choked up coming onto the Ark, too. It was so unreal, and so amazing and awesome! I think it should make it into a 7 Wonders of the Modern world list.

@rose-colored-fancy

That sounds like a good idea for Acyn. 🙂 Thanks for the info on…[Read more]

Lupa shrugged at Alessio as much as a wolf could and glanced at the giant wolf who huffed, reluctantly agreeing not to eat anyone.

Turning back to Alessio, Lupa nodded and pointed her muzzle back to the keys.

@this-is-not-an-alien

@emily-waldorf lol Misu’s had too deal with all sorts of people so I think he’ll be fine!  I’m really looking forward to these interactions too, but fair warning – I don’t know how much longer he’s going to be in here 🙁  I have some other characters that I’m wanting to develop, but I don’t plan on pulling him out anytime soon, so we’re good for n…[Read more]
