Nithel felt the tension rising like a flame. Rising beneath the surface compressing, compressing. He straightened a bit more, mind racing. A simple conversation. Alessio.

Nithel’s chest burns but he makes himself stay calm. He doesn’t want to be standing behind Jericho, it meant he blessed her; that he believed and agreed with everything she…[Read more]

Sorry for the delay everyone, I’ve been preparing for my brother’s wedding and battling tonsillitis the past week or so.

Jericho and Brendin merely listened to the various other conversations taking place around them.  Brendin winced at some of Nithel’s words; noticing, Jericho placed a hand on her friend’s shoulder.  She tensed when M…[Read more]

Guys.
I’m on the Internet twice a day and I come back to this!?!
I love you guys

The ripping sound caught Alessio’s attention and his eyes darted to the noise. Nithel was…oh ok…Actually he was way too used to that sound, never enough bandages and…
“A change that will rattle Saorsa to its core.” Lupa said with a curling smile. Alessio consc…[Read more]

As she laughed, Nithel didn’t smile at all. His eyes so serious.

Born yesterday. A common thing said to him. He looked at her face, his brows crunching, feeling old again. For just a moment thinking. *thoughts* *is still waiting for the dragon to jump in and silence this*

His gaze didn’t waver, pain in his chest, but resolve and love in his…[Read more]

Haha that’s okay XD its actually the Bloody Mink, its her street name.

———–

The dragon made total sense to Mayra. She recognised the darkness in his tone, his words. She understood him.

Then Nithel spoke up softly. “He loves you. He has given you life.” … “And though it can seem like a curse, and with it we may curse o…[Read more]

The dragon growled, gaze fixed on Nithel’s. Nithel held it, not looking away and strong.

“Nothing that means anything to you, human,” the dragon’s tone was without emotion, trying to end the subject. But could easily have been bitter. With a bit of imagination.

Nithel’s eyes softened, though still guarded, chest hurting. But it does mean som…[Read more]

After Nithel had the patch, about the size of an adult’s hand, torn, he moved toward her on his knees, about to dip it in the water and hand it to her. But as his eyes touched her, she looked like she was going to burst. Questions spilling and jumping inside her more than the water.

She leaned forward, hoping, yet timid. Excited, but wary and…[Read more]

Mayra followed Nithel to the stream and cupped her hands in it, feeling the coolness of it. She drank thirstily, the dryness of her throat slowly recovering.

She heard a ripping sound and turned to see Nithel ripping his shirt. Her mouth fell open as he tore a large piece of it away. What was he-?

She felt the blood drip down her nose and her…[Read more]

After Nithel spoke, he could see questions roiling in her mind. It was fine. Some of the seriousness left him, and his shoulders relaxed. Intrigue of his own coming as he watched her finger a pendent. A charm about the neck, like Alessio had before he gave the leather strap to Nithel. Perhaps they were from the same world? Both with strange…[Read more]

I am Nithel, son of Father. Those words bounced back and forth in Mayra’s head, over and over again. She shook her head, confused. What was he on about? Who was this father of his? And why did he not refer to him by his proper name?

Unless – unless that was his name.

The gears in her brain pushed themselves into motion as she stared at this…[Read more]

“You – should not – care,” Mayra’s voice was tight, her body tensing to where her hands fisted. “Who – are you? Why – do this?”

He breathed in and out, thinking. He didn’t look from her face, face serious, but still not unkind.

I was created for the protection of mankind. I love you; how could I go against my purpose? He straightens, tu…[Read more]

When she paled and took a step back, Nithel straightened, eyes concerned.

“Are you – not afraid? This – makes others – afraid. I hurt – with this.” As the heat flicked over her palms, his chest skipped beats. In all honesty, he was terrified. He had no doubt that it made others afraid, or that she had the ability to hurt with those hands.

But…[Read more]

Nithel glanced up as the girl touches his hands, her touch gentle, hesitant. She shook her head, as if afraid. Not wanting to impose. “You – eat,” She let go of him, and pointed at herself. “Me – fine.”

His brows lifted the smallest bit. He hadn’t expected her to refuse food. He breathed in and out, eyes looking at her face, the blood. His…[Read more]

*wishes I could cackle* *is not in Evil Writer Mode* Saaaammmeee. Except my whole book is kind of my characters struggling to get out of their lowpoint. XD (Let’s just say someone died and I hate it in books when people have a cry-at-the-graveside scene and then forget it happened.)

LOL! My characters have something very similar! T…[Read more]

@joelle-stone

WELL DONE!! It’s so hard to get that many words out when you feel like the best thing you can come up with is a dramatic “the”. XD

Exactly XD After that last bit, I actually got thoroughly carried away and accidentally wrote like 1500 words more XD

*is intrigued by that last sentence* *suddenly gets alarmed* OH NO!! IS LIORAH GIVIN…

@joelle-stone

Aww, thanks so much!!! I totally didn’t deserve that and it made my day.

(Also… very excited for this new piece you’ve posted… :))

*Gives you a big hug* Of course you deserve it! It was lovely!

I can’t wait to see what you think of Faye, my precious smol cinnamon roll. XD She’s the sweetest character. (Quite a contrast with Liorah XD)

@this-is-not-an-alien

That is hilarious!! It’s one of the funniest things ever, I totally want to frame that and hang it above my computer for when I’m drafting XD It’s awesome and I love how much emotion you got into that drawing! LOL, it’s too funny XD Smack the inner critic! XD
