Mayra stared at him silently, her jaw tight. Her eyes were stinging as if she was holding back a wave of tears. This boy was either brave or stupid, to treat her with such courtesy. He wanted her to eat with them, even after everything that had happened. Her chest tightened at the sight of his soft eyes.

“You – should not – care,” Mayra ans…[Read more]

Hi there 🙂 sorry my life has become very hectic literally overnight, so I haven’t had a lot of time for Story Embers. But this looks like good fun! I will upload a recording as soon as I can.

The boy was offering her fruit. He looked at her hesitantly, then looked away. She wondered what he made of her. She had hurt his friend after all. Yet he was still offering her food. What was left of it anyway.

She stared at him carefully, then pushed his hands away, shaking her head. “You – eat,” she answered. Then she pointed at herself. “Me -…[Read more]

Of course I happened to fall into Liorah. It seemed the forces of the universe wanted to have a good old laugh. Insulted, she also decided the best course of action was to aim a kick at me. That very move sent my blood boiling, but I just stared at het coldly and said, “Gosh aren’t you very mature now?”

She just glared at me and tossed her head.…[Read more]

Ah okay sorry about that😬 No big deal, I’ll rewrite it so 🙂

Mayra was being carried. She could feel the sensation of someone holding her with a strong grip.

She opened her eyes to see a man holding her. His face was blurring in her vision. She groaned and weakly shoved at him. She didn’t need help. She needed no one’s assis…[Read more]

Thank you Brendin for saving Mayra you lifesaver XD I was getting worried that she would be crushed! Looks like she will be getting a dragon ride after all lol. This is actualy great, its hinting at whats to come for her in my WIP 🙂

Mayra was being juggled about as if she was in a car going over a very bumpy road with potholes…[Read more]

Mayra had only meant to protect herself. And yet her power had stretched over the others too. That wasn’t like her at all. How on earth had that-

A wave of pain came over her head and she staggered. Her muscles were on fire and her vision was turning all blurry. The fiery boy was saying something to her. She could barely hear him over the roaring…[Read more]

A woman was speaking to Mayra. She just stared at a point above  her head, hearing her words but not responding to them.

“Hello, my dear,” the strange woman signed to her. It was more difficult to decipher her hands, perhaps because it was a different dialect. “I am sorry you are here, because here is a rather wretched place. But if you need a…[Read more]

Of course they couldn’t understand her. Mayra rolled her eyes. Communication difficulties was always going to be a given. And it seemed her calculations were wrong too. But her senses were always accurate. What on earth was this place?

And of course the dragon could talk. Because why not?

She felt embarrassed and angry. Why was she wrong? Why w…[Read more]

“Stop fighting back. She’s enjoying this more than you know and she won’t stop until you do,” Ferran spoke to me.

I studied him, anger still pulsing through me at Liorah’s insults. He raised an eyebrow.

“Of course, I know my place. A lowly human wouldn’t dare command you, but that’s my advice, take it or leave it,” he added with a hint of bi…[Read more]

I had scanned most of the perimeter of the room, reaching out with my senses for any weaknesses, when the boy with the dark eyes went on fire. Literally.

My eyes landed on him as he comforted his friend. Fire danced all over his body, licking at his dark hair.

The boy turned and caught my stare. He walked over and nodded at me quickly. “Pick a w…[Read more]
