Malvat studied the woman.

This is why they call me the Blood Mink.

Her thoughts flitted across her brain, her mind barely registering the words.

“No one – come near,” she hissed, the words slow and forced as she took up a guarded position, powers swirling around her body. “Or – I – hurt.”

People were drawing weapons. The air quickly escalated…[Read more]

Nithel grabbed the bag with one hand, clutching underneath one of Alessio’s arms with the other. Dragging him toward where everyone else was going. More dust. It was like the castle was coughing, or growling at them in rage…

Nithel shoved Alessio through the hole, and barreled out behind him. The light was so bright Nithel was almost blinded.…[Read more]

As Liorah greeted the newcomer, the floor gave way. Klein didn’t struggle this time. Who ever this was, they didn’t seem like the type to just up and kill someone. They acted on reason. Break the rules, you die. Cease to entertain, well guess what.

It wasn’t much of a fall, barely a story to the next floor. Light flashed on as they hit the…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy,

Well done!! I’m gonna sprint now if you want to join. 😉 (Also gonna tag @rebekah12 @crazywriter @this-is-not-an-alien @jasmine @kylie-wingfeather @irishcelticredflowercrown and @kimlikesart

@this-is-not-an-alien,

Heheh *grins sheepishly, turns red and nearly falls over*

*grins and catches you, pushing you upright* *pats your shoulder* There there, darling Cathy, no need to be bashful over winning a contest… XD

You style definitely made a woman fit in so naturally you never even had to state it and that’s very skillful! <3

Oh g…[Read more]

Malvat rumbled. He was being ordered about by a human yet again. No matter if this one was empowered, he would let the ceiling crumble before he obeyed again. Was humiliated again. Of course, he’d save her life – it wouldn’t do to appear heartless – but it would be clear he chose to do it.

Unfortunately, before he could execute his plan, Jericho…[Read more]

Brendin barely caught the mute girl as she collapsed from the strain of holding up the ceiling, blood streaming down her face.  Already the crisscrossing network of red energy was receding and the ceiling beginning to cave again.  Alessio was shouting something, but the rumbling drowned out his voice.

Jericho quickly strode to the center of the c…[Read more]

Nithel came beside Alessio, and began to work at the wall. Then he watched Alessio, struggling… “Alessio,” He whispered, rather loudly, because the ceiling’s noise was loud. “It is not about the power, but your feelings. Do you want the flame to come? Why. Is it because you love us, and want to be saved? Is it because you are angry at this…[Read more]

There was a ritual to being given the privilege to wear one’s hair like a warrior, and the leather strap was always marked. If honor were to be returned to someone who lost it, they had to return the exact same strap because it symbolized the soul of a warrior.

Oh wow… <3 <3 <3

And Alessio gave it… <3 <3 <3

Tagging a few more peeps to help out: @rose-colored-fancy @mischievous-thwapling @crazywriter @obrian-of-the-surface-world @this-is-not-an-alien @rebekah12 @rusted-knight

@obrian-of-the-surface-world That sounds really interesting! I’m thoroughly impressed with how developed it is. How long have you been working on it?

@joy-caroline Of course, haha. It’d be interesting to see just how you can change it so people will stop thinking of Star Wars. I really enjoyed Treasure Planet‘s take on space…[Read more]

Thanks @this-is-not-an-alien!

Could someone strike up a conversation with Lupa (I decided to change her name XD. It still means she-wolf but I prefer it over Asena XD XD)? I’m not getting a lot of development done atm.

@this-is-not-an-alien,

Yay, I’m glad you write it! *realizes that I never did specify the wind’s gender* *had her envisioned as a woman anyway and is glad that was your first thought*

Hi Cathy,

To answer your question,…

…I am extracting a section from the Mythology and Symbolism section I have on my blog site:

There is no specific “magic” system in the story, but there are supernatural elements that have a correlation in the biblical account of history.

For instance, the biblical idea of “qu…

@this-is-not-an-alien

Yeah, Connel is a lot like that except he’s secretly a coward and won’t sacrifice himself for anything (except maybe his dragon). At least at this point in the story.
Shady almost relatable villains are the best! And Chantara has so much fascinating character that lol is running away from your plot?

Ooh, cool! Yep, she has…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

Your WIP sounds so cool Cathy! I love symbolism, puzzles, and of course sarcasm is the best.
