Well, Jericho is pretty far on the wary side given her previous experiences (her student betrayed her, which led to the deaths of everyone she loved) and she’s learned the dangers of serving someone and how she can be used.  Brendin has also been rather horribly abused, and the fact that Malvat a) looks resemblant of a wyvern and…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien

I probably should’ve mentioned but the story is written with a deliberately slow beginning because the style I’m writing in is akin to Tolkien’s and the story isn’t completely packed with action and adventure.  But I probably should work some setting in there yeah…

(Also it’s IronSTORM, not IronSTONE.  Slight dif…[Read more]

She knows… the words whispered through his brain like toule curtains on a night breeze.

Malvat felt his friendliness begin to dissipate, but he kept his smile on his face and his wing lowered. “Even if I could reduce my size, lady (*cough cough* he doesn’t say this mockingly like it’s normally used today. Think about how Aragorn addresses…[Read more]

I like it! I think it will give me a little practice for Gwendolyn’s personality. She is supposed to be cocky, a bit of a smart Alec, and fiery, but I don’t think  I’m doing that good of a job at it.

I actually think it’s pretty good! I really like her!

 is it ok if I drop Gwendolyn as pet in? I didn’t think about it at first but I see o…

Brendin could see that the boy was panicking.  Small flames began to form along his arms, dancing and flickering around Brendin’s hands.  He quelled them, drawing the fire away from Alessio and funneling it away into his Syne.  Slowly the boy calmed and returned to reality, anxiously glancing around.  Trying to see if he’d set something on fire…[Read more]

WHOOPS dropped your braincell!!! 😀

Lol like “in light of *existing* I…should probably blow something up…”

*decides to look like an innocent angel (because of course I totally am)*

Lol yes, she’s my big sister <3.

Lol, yea. I can’t decide between Meira and Connel cos Meira’s a (really cuuute) fairly important character who does need…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien,

Okay, critiquing here we come!

So, what I got from this is it’s kind of a bit of a fairy tale (Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, something about a Beast, which I’m not quite sure if that’s the Wolf or Beauty & the Beast beast), but taken to a more… mature level. Red Riding Hood is kneeling by her grandmother’s grave…[Read more]

@joelle-stone @this-is-not-an-alien

Please critique if you could.  Also you may notice something if you reread the character castle before reading this…

Doing this literally right before work but since when has time management been a skill of mine…

Also hi

Beginning of my main Haven world story

@joelle-stone @this-is-not-an-alien (the one Brendin’s in)

Ada Warin was beautiful in a wild, hunted way.  Her narrow face, framed with the waist-length knotted brown curls that adorned her head, had…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien,

No, that was EXCELLENT critiquing!! I wrote this story… yeesh, like two years ago or something, and I thought it was so good until I went back and reread it for this. Then I was like, “Oh dear. This is not what I thought it was.” XD So we’re fixing it up!

Yurp, Nayandi’s the POV for the entire story if I remember right.…[Read more]

Haltingly the maiden came out of the passage and met Malvat’s eyes. “My dear Malvat,” she said, her voice soft but strong enough to reach all ears. “Do you not yet know it is rude to call humans ‘mankind’? It will not do.”

She doesn’t wish to make me angry, Malvat thought, studying her. Yet she wants to make it clear that she is able to take car…[Read more]

Wow, we all have older characters. Malvat somewhere between *thinks* 500 and 700 years old, I think. So not old compared to Nithel, Brendin, and Jericho. 🙂

@this-is-not-an-alien,

 I didn’t know a church could die if it didn’t get a new pastor, the church always assigns new priests to a parish in the Catholic church…I’m so sorry I couldn’t…

“Get. Out. Of my head.”

Nithel slowly side walked toward Alessio, still in a crouch. Closer, but not too close, giving Brendin and the youth space. Yes, the dragon could kill them all easier this way, but… Nithel’s brows somehow lowered more. You have a use for us. A revulsion and sickness grabbed his chest. Noy. His mind raced a bit more on…[Read more]

@erynne @this-is-not-an-alien @hannahrenner

So…are more villains gonna show up, or will Karayan and Þorunn gonna continue to awkwardly stare at each other?

“Get. Out. Of my head.”

Brendin squeezed Alessio’s shoulder gently to try and bring back the lad’s focus.  “Alessio, lower your bow,” he repeated.  He recognized his expression, the panic and fear and anger.  The nausea from another mind invading your own.

Memories flashed through Brendin’s mind, filled with screams once more, but this time t…[Read more]

I cannot answer you.

The thought came from the older Bearer. Odd.

Memories sashayed through the mankind’s mind, ones of villages burning, of people screaming – Malvat was taken aback. Had someone else used this Bearer for ill?

I was made into a warrior, a murderer. But I was someone else before. And now I do not know who I…[Read more]

His eyes swept the small group. “Who are you?”

Brendin met the reptile’s gaze but did not speak. I cannot answer you. His thoughts drifted to memories of his time as a Maere and faint screams echoed in his minds, images of bright, blazing fires as villages burned to the ground. I was made into a warrior, a murderer. But I was someone else bef…[Read more]
