@kimlikesart,

Happy Valentine’s Day!! And I loved your last post. 🙂

@kimlikesart

Your poem felt powerful. Also, tragic, important, and well-written. I especially found the repetition of the word silent to be strong and impactful.

“Yes,” Brendin pulled up his sleeve to show Alessio a black mark like a diamond-pyramid shape held in by wisps of flame almost similar to hands. “Synes are pretty common.”
The mark shimmered red and a fire gasped from one of the torches into his hand. Alessio stared at the orb in amazement, almost connected to it. He could do that, he’d never met…[Read more]

Before Alessio could finish purging the book Brendin snatched it away from him.
“What are you–” He halted staring anxiously at the page Brendin opened. Alessio wasn’t completely sure he’d ripped his own page out yet and he wanted the book back before anyone could read it. Someone called ‘Avatus Coryphaeus’ and he had wings…? Maybe that wasn’t all…[Read more]

“It’s nobody’s business,” he said staring at each one of them individually. “Whoever you are we’re all stuck together now and if we start prying into the other’s secrets we’ll tear each other apart. Then we’ll all die, understand?”

Brendin snatched the book from the boy, flipping quickly back to the page with his name across it.  He thought he’…[Read more]

“It’s a record. Dharin and Lytt were here until an hour ago.” The man with the long coat tapped the page, then turned back to Lytt’s entry and handed the book over.

“Just an hour?” Virtus asked, shaking his head. He quickly noted that the man carried many strange apparatuses that looked like they could be used as weapons. (?) Best be caref…[Read more]

Virtus took the book from the lad, noticing the insecurity in his eyes. This one had a past that troubled him. Just like everyone else on the planet, Virtus thought.

“I was looking for any maps or clues about this place. The most effectual means of finding a way out would be to accumulate resources and systemize a strategy based off that.” The l…[Read more]

“Virtus, Virtue; son of Fidus, Trustworthy,” Why are you translating everyone’s names? Alessio tilted his head at Nithel quizzically. “I am Nithel, son of Father.”
This was ok, this wasn’t so bad as long Virtus was talking to Nithel he could just listen, that wouldn’t be too stressful or anything..
“Nice to meet you. Sorry, but I don’t know the…[Read more]

The man’s hand was raised just above shoulder level, palm outward. Virtus took it as a greeting. “Virtus, Virtue; son of Fidus, Trustworthy,” the man said, and Virtus furrowed his eyebrows as he sorted through the string of words. “I am Nithel, son of Father.”

Aren’t most people sons of their father? Does his father not have a name? Or is he like…[Read more]

Ack, I have sinned, neither Alessio or Nithel would know what a train is! I’ve used a modern colloquialism in a medieval fantasy 😛

“None did.” he said softly “My thoughts were not warped.”
Alessio guiltily dodged his gaze for second before looking back at him. It still seemed too new to him, he need to step back and analyze.…[Read more]

Ant eaziz,” Alessio glanced at him, not sure whether he was more perplexed by the odd language Nithel spoke in or his reaction. At the very least he’d probably anticipated a harsh lecture. “I am sorry. I do not like cold or wet places.”
Really? Alessio quirked an eyebrow, not sure he’d met anybody who’d admit as much. Nithel certainly w…[Read more]

@sylvain-alistair
Ooh Avatus’ll be interesting!

@kimlikesart
Heh, I love how in all the other posts Alessio’s been ‘his friend’ but now he’s ‘his charge’ like “you are an impulsive kid and I need to mom-friend you now.”

“Tis good love is not an emotion then.” Nithel’s voice was somber and kind. Alessio smiled back at him in response.
“No, it’s a way of life. And a rather sadistic one at that if you don’t count for eternity.” Still consciously trying not to hide, Alessio stayed as close to Nithel as feasible. The whole place was so enclosed and, while Al…[Read more]

Jaylin watched as the boy in the corner and the new man argued. He really didn’t care anymore. He just wanted to go home. Dharin was gone and everyone was being replaced by strangers. He remembered what Dharin had said about fading. It didn’t hurt. He wanted to fade. To go back to Brarlock to his brother and Marrill. He knew where he…[Read more]

@kimlikesart,

OY!! WE’RE LOSING TO WATER!! MUST WRITE LIKE CRAZY LET’S FILL UP THE CHRONICLE!

(If you aren’t Kim or on CWW, then this most likely makes absolutely no sense. :P)

@kimlikesart I’m good! About to be really busy with classes, starting Friday, but I’m looking forward to it. I always feel better mentally and physically when I have a schedule to work off of. I like having breaks, but the break is getting too long for me lol.

@skylarynn Glad to have you join us! Like Kimmi said, just plop Brendin down in the…[Read more]
