This thread may be dying, but I discovered the word chary today. It means the same thing as wary, apparently.
“He walked with a chary air, suspicious of everything and hesitant to trust.”
It is also apparently a homophone of ‘cherry’.

“Maybe there’s a book about your world here…”
Jericho’s deep blue eyes flicked upwards in alarm. If such a book were indeed here, it was likely to contain a more accurate version of the story she told. After all, it was part of the founding legend of the Kithnarya. Jericho had rarely shared her role in the story with anyone; she had told the l…[Read more]

Alessio nodded with a slightly crooked smile, saying like he didn’t mean it, “I’m very responsible.”
Nithel believed it. His eyes touched a small bit of seriousness before Alessio grabbed his hand, and a smile stole the man’s eyes. His friend dragged him about and Nithel was close to laughter, eyes dancing at the abandon of the boy as Nithe…[Read more]

Hey guys! I just had a few questions I’d like to ask about your opinions on Dominic.
(If any of y’all are wanting to ask some questions about your own villain, feel free!)
So Dominic has been a very interesting character to deal with. I really did no development on him and just kinda went with whatever my fingers decided to type. Obviously,

I’M BACK EVERYBODY, DID YA MISS ME? *ignores groans from all sides*
Hey, hey! Welcome back! Of course I missed you 😛 . I hoped you enjoyed your vacation! Meira’s reaction to Dominic’s rudeness literally made me laugh out loud XD BTW, where’s your sister? I haven’t seen her around in a while

Thanks! I’m actually considering sharing the entire story sometime if you’d like to read it.
I think that you’re revision is great! I am able to get into the mind of your POV character and I can visualize what’s happening quite well. Out of curiosity, what time era is this story set in? Why was Sahar c…[Read more]

Thank you so much! You’re brilliant!! That’s fabulous! (You know Liorah so well XD)
Okay, here’s the next rewrite of that piece. I did end up changing their clothing, because of historical accuracy. (Or at least, historical feasibility XD)
Sahar was bouncing with excitement, so much so that her skirt rippled around her…

“Perhaps,” he murmured to the man with the grey eyes. “Perhaps we should proceed with caution.”
Brendin glanced at the dragon warily, but ignored his warning for the moment. …[Read more]

“..Nithel?” Alessio whispered.
Nithel’s eyes lifted to him. Pained, but the man attempted a small smile for his friend, that slowly dwindled as he saw fear in Alessio’s eyes. He was sorry. About something. Is it- He cares about my tears. Yet unshed. Nithel’s lips twitched a small bit, teasing a grateful smile. Then Alessio touched Nithel’s arm,…[Read more]

Malvat stared over the heads of the mankind into the circular room. Through one door four beds took up a wall, through another he could see a spacious library-type room, and through a third there was a comfortable rug in a large globe-shaped room. His nostrils flared as he picked up the scent of a crackling fire. Great. The Bearers had fuel.

(Sorry for the delay, my brother got engaged and life became very chaotic all of a sudden)
After what may have been hours or minutes – or possibly days, it was tremendously difficult to discern in this castle – and a great deal of winding downwards, the corridor deposited them into a spacious circular room with a few other chambers leading off it…[Read more]

Hi Erynne! Thanks for joining!
Also, don’t laugh too hard. I wrote it back when I was still new to writing XD
No worries! You can probably do better now, but it actually isn’t that bad!

“She doesn’t like strangers.”
Karayan rolled his eyes slightly as the little dragon-like creature crawled onto her master’s shoulders. “Well yes, that was rather obvious,” he said in exasperation. “Most people do not greet strangers by trying to breathe fire down their necks.

Nithel had tensed the smallest bit when Jericho touched Alessio. Then he felt relief as Alessio didn’t pull away.
She was being kind to him. Nithel smiled a bit, sadness touching underneath it.
But the way Alessio stared at his hand when Jericho released… Nithel blinked several times and swallowed hard, smile evaporating. Nithel ached so much…[Read more]
