1, 2, 3, 4 for the ask game!!!

yeees thank you for asking!!

1 the last sentence you wrote

What’s killing the murderer parading around as a priest? The flowers of a rare sickness born of unrequited love slowly suffocating him or the effects of fucked up experimentation finally taking its toll, everyone take their bet!

2 a character whose POV you’re currently exploring

Wolfwood! he is the only pove in the story i have ready for vashwood week already and he's also the pov for well *points up* the hanahaki one. and also the newest few chapters of observations but we'll see if i post those or change some things

3 how you feel about your current WIP

tha hanahaki i only recently started, so we'll see about that. though i know all parts i want to write already. without spoiling it, i hope i can stick to the ending i have in mind. but its something i thought hanahaki in general and with the whole geranium thing going on in trigun i feel there are not enough fics exploring that so im excited

observations is currently on hiatus because while i like it, there is a lot of stuff i would like the gang around knives, meryl, vash, milly and wolfwood to do, i had to realize i can't put it all in one story so i am still figuring out what to put in and which darlings to kill, so to speak. i'm a little frustrated. cant do all i want. i have some chapters already ready but i am unsure what to do with them. it's mostly vash not having a good time and it shows how knives general attitude and unpleassantness is getting to him more than he wants to show. but if i open that can of worms, i don't feel like its something i can close in a few chapters either. so complicated i guess haha.

4 a story idea you haven’t written yet

hah! you know about the millyknives mermaid au! that i thought would be a fun one shot but i dont think it will be anymore lol. i really love mermaid aus and they fit trigung great with all combinations of human and merfolk and who is saving who but for some reason that one made me imediately think of millynai. the idea is that milly saves a injured knives (who i wanted to be a giant squid kind of mer but he'll be a sea serpent or oarfish because he'll be hard enough to deal with if he has three appendages rather than like, ten) and tends to him in her... bathtube. of course knives wont be very pleasant about it at first but that's not going to stop milly. i want to keep it on the fun and cute side, hopefully, despite knives being such a complainer. meryl and wolfwood are sure to make cameos, maybe even vash. still stuff to be figured out but i will definitely start that one after vashwood week

#thanks for asking and giving me an excuse to ramble haha #i swear the mermaid one haunts my dreams already #and i will need something sweet after the hanahaki one #vashwood week is close so i'll get to it soon #observations will probebly stay on hiatus until i have summerbrak in july and dokomi is over #i still dont know what to do about that ahhh #trigun #ask game #my asks #eomma-jpeg

Hi!! :D For the emoji asks! ^_^

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?

👀

Let's see if I have any wips veil doesn't already know about lol heres what I have in my brain

So currently I'm working on and off on a vashmeryl and millywood college au but im... I'm still a bit burnt and while I wanted to get the first chapter done by vashmeryl week (and my birthday) I don't know that I will which sucks

But this au is journalist Meryl and Xenobiology major/Cross country star Vash and he's already dating someone when they meet but she sucks so Meryl enters her "You Belong With Me" phase lol

This au also contains past tragic millynai and successful millywood bc i love to torture myself

I am also working on a mermaid/fantasy au inspired 100% by @noaafishfieldguide

Sea foam and another secret project have inspired me to write an alternate au of her secret project lolol where Milly and Vash are from 2 kingdoms and have an arranged marriage but uhh Nai falls for Milly in the process and it gets crazy

Featuring undine Nai and Vash and half elf Milly bc I Said So

🎉

Honestly comments really make me feel like a fic is a success. If I can get anyone to come out of their internet shell and weird circle of social norms to keysmash or type a comment about my silly lil fic, then that is a success to me. And it makes me kick my lil legs in excitement

🤯

I haven't really experimented too much but the two styles I want to get better at are writing more poetically and writing adventure

"The End" which is a post trimax fic is suuuuch a good adventure fic and I have yet to really get into that?

I've mentioned poetry before too but @tomboyyyaoi and @re-l are both so good at poetic styles and I just have yet to truly dedicate myself to trying it. I did a little bit with an in the meadow one shot I have hidden away but it was still pretty prose/narrative heavy

One writing genre i don't ever really intend to do is uh mystery. My brain doesn't really work that way ? I could certainly learn but I'm good.

loveless. ― a writeblr reintroduction. 

i. about. 

hi! i’m anjali, pronouns they/them and a desi minor. you can find me at my main blog @ahiranya where i post mostly literature and other miscellaneous content. some of my favorite books are the jasmine throne by tasha suri, these violent delights by chloe gong, champion by marie lu and radio silence by alice oseman. i highly enjoy anything with themes of morality and humanity in general. when i’m not procrastinating or ignoring my wips, i also write poetry. 

ii. wips. 

i honestly have more wips than i can count, but these are the main ones i’m planning to hopefully spend more time on.

searisen.  ― a little mermaid retelling. 

after a catastrophic accident in which the blame is pinned on aarti, the only way to fix what has been done is to travel above the waters of the sea they call home to make a deal that inevitably will cost more than they can pay. magic is rarely worth its heavy price, and aarti is left to make a deadly choice. 

introduction (to come). tag. page (work in progress). 

more of my wips, which are sidelined for now.

bend the stars.  ― a high fantasy. 

treachery of gold.  ― a high fantasy. 

chasing extraordinary.  ― a contemporary novel. 

iii. links. 

about. twitter. works. 

iv. taglist.

A Grey Night

An unfinished writing WIP I had for a somewhat personal Irish Lads Noir! AU. I don’t plan on finishing it (it’s been like, almost a whole year now I think). If anyone’s interested, I can find some of my other AU fics.

Premise: A night of interrogating a possible suspect in Sean McLoughlin’s disappearance goes wrong, and the promising detective Daniel finds a possible new ally.

Daniel's boots skidded on the wet concrete, rain drenching the slender man as he chased Kevin into a crowd, his tall silhouette towering over most of them. Pushing people aside, the young detective cussed under his breath, wondering why he thought that going into a shady bar with gang connections in all but name and playing along with a possibly criminally insane man's mind games would help him find McLoughlin. And would anyone be surprised that he's now chasing someone who might be an accomplice to what might be murder? Fuck no, he spent the night drinking crappy alcohol and this is the price he's gotta pay.

Now his heart is pounding in his chest, he can feel his blood rushing through his veins while he chases after Kevin, now barely visible in the vast sea of people. His lungs are burning, his knees trembling but he has to go on. He can't just give up, could he? He's worked so hard for this, throwing all of this away would just be irresponsible. 

And they say I'm the brightest one out there, the only one able to solve the case... God, I should've just said no when Ms. Smolders told me that the police had given up, should've taken that as a sign.

He could feel the tiredness seeping into his bones again, wishing he was back in his flat with George, a hot mug of coffee in a hand and a book in another, snug in his armchair, enjoying the rainy weather inside. And yet, here he is on the sidewalk, his coat and hat soaked in rain as the sign above him flickers, advertising a cheap night's stay. Oh, if his old colleagues saw him now, how would they react? But it's not the time to think about that, Dan told himself while he hailed a cab to go home, not now at least.

---

Well, this wasn't what he was expecting when he was told that he's got a guest. But he supposes any help at all is appreciated, really. At first he expected poor Miss Smolders ready to tell him that his services were no longer needed, but he didn’t consider meeting a man even taller than Kevin.

"So kid, how did your evening at Millie's go? Wonderful place, ain't it?"

His voice is comparable to what a rosebush given the power of speech would sound like, he thought. Daniel kept the thought to himself- Wait, how’d he know that he was there? The realization didn’t make him speak up either; he resigned himself to the almost constantly broken coffee maker.

"Not much of a talker, are you? Well, let's just get to the point then."

"What the fuck do you think you're doing, snooping 'round those bastards? Are you fucking insane?!" The bearded man swore, slamming down his hands onto the wooden table. The coffee almost spilled out.

"Months of research, surveillance, and secrets only to almost be ruined by some fucking random kid! Just..." he sighed, "seriously, what the absolute fuck were you thinking?” 

Dan could only stutter out a "W-what?"

The stranger stood up from his chair, towering over almost everything in the cramped kitchen. "Listen, lad. I've been studying that place, learning every single bit about Millie's to get back on him when you decide to just waltz in and," he spreads his arm out, frustration etched into his face, "do all that. And on top of that, you probably pissed off O'Reilly as well."

"O'Reilly? Wait- Kevin?"

"Yeah, he's not exactly the best person to piss off. Used to work there, performed songs with him every week. Then we had... a falling out. When you cross one of them, you're dead. Well, you’re supposed to, anyways."

Writeblr Intro and all that jazz

Yooo. I’m Hannah and I’m a 15 year old writer. My current interest is Literary Fiction or any story with a strong atmosphere and interesting character dynamics. But I’ll read and write absolutely anything if the inspiration hits, there’s no criteria.

Current WIPs:

Love, the Gospel - Not 100% sure I’ll continue this one, but I plan on it being a collection of short stories based off of my interpretation of angels and their relationships with humanity.

Excerpt:

Like clay, they were made of dirt and dust, moulded by the restless hands of simple men and their many desires of the divine. Yet what they did not know was that these creatures didn’t belong to foreign realms or unadorned human nature; they belonged to reckless freedom and its sinful grace.

Millie Planet - A contemporary love-hate relationship between Millie and Amara, two teen girls who sacrifice their moral identity for the other’s attention.

Excerpts:

1. Maybe she was a bird in her past life. Maybe she was an alien, fallen from the sky. Surely, she wasn’t human. Surely, no human laughed like a crow, stomped like an elephant, and saw reality like a ship unsailed, waiting to be known, to be rocked above the sea.

2. She stood, grabbed the remaining flowers that still held its healthy shape and stepped close to me. Her hair shone like water falls of gold. It was almost frightening, like a trick of the light. Perhaps if I touched it, the buds of my fingers would melt away.

3. “I’m sorry, Amara.

“I wanted us to be friends, that’s all.

“I’d hug you if you let me.

“I’d braid your hair into the most fabulous princess.

“You look like one, when you let yourself.

“Sometimes I imagine you as ruler of the winter forests.

“And I as your Mother Nature.”

Anyways, feel free to message me or share a few words. I’m just here for a good time.

Character Introduction Drabble: Callisto

Here we go! This is a drabble that started with @yourocsbackstory ‘s Backstory Weeks (go check them out, they’re really cool!) I won’t be able to keep up with the weekly prompts, but it’s still a very interesting exercise, so I’ll be posting what I write here!

Week 0 is about character introductions, so here’s the first one: Callisto! She’s one of my MCs in my post-apocalyptic/fantasy/adventure WIP. Enjoy!

The last rays of sun caressed the stone walls of the shed, and Callisto let herself be lulled by the distant flow of the waves as she finished dressing the wound. Her mind, detached from the slow and familiar movements of her hands, was wandering miles away from the port city.

“Mommy?”

A little face had appeared in the doorway, two wide green eyes shining in a sea of sun-darkened freckles. Callisto straightened, smiled at her, and started to put away her equipment as the woman lying on the makeshift matress sat up and called her daughter to her.

-“I’m all right, honey. Don’t make that face! In two weeks I will be back on the ship and back to work. Instead, you should say thanks to Maryam’s nice apprentice, who came to take care of my leg because Aymeric is busy elsewhere!” she told the girl as she hugged her, giving the young healer a grateful look. The wide green eyes, inquisitive, appeared from the embrace of the fisherwoman:

-“You’re a real healer? But you’ve only been here for a short time!

- Millie, that’s not a question you can just ask! her mother scolded gently. Callisto knows her job very well, Maryam would never let her tend to her patients alone if she didn’t!” She turned to the young woman. “You can stay for the evening, if you don’t have anymore work to do. The meal I have to offer is not the fanciest, but Vance and Isiah and his family are coming to join us, and I’d like to thank you with at least that!”

Callisto smiled, her dark eyes roaming on the scenery beyond the window.

- “ There’s no need for that. I have to get back to clean my equipment. And I shouldn’t keep Maryam waiting, or I might have to sleep outside! she said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

In truth, her teacher would probably be glad that she was building ties with the people of the city at last.  But she just couldn’t get herself interested in the prospect of that evening, as welcoming as the little family was.

The little girl pouted, looking disappointed and a little embarassed:

-“Is it because of what said earlier?

- Of course not!” Callisto crouched down in front of her and looked her in the eyes. “Don’t worry, I know it’s obvious I’m not from around here. I know you didn’t mean anything bad.” She placed her hand on her cheek, brown skin against freckles, and gave her an apologetic smile. "It’s better if you enjoy your time with your mother, and take good care of her. It’s important to have someone by your side while you recover!“ The kid nodded with conviction, a glint of resolve in her eyes. From the bed, her mother let out a fond laugh.

-"Thank you again, Callisto. I really thought I’d never get back to the sea. For my daughter and I, you will always be welcome, if you change your mind about the invitation.

-Oh, it’s nothing!” The young woman, caught off guard, was gathering the black curls that had escaped from the scarf that held them back. “I merely did my job. And in the end, it’s the city which pays the healers, so you don’t really owe me anything. All that I ask is that you be careful not to reopen the wound! I’ll pass my remarks on to Aymeric, so that he may return to his work as soon as he gets back.” Having gathered all of her things, she headed to the door. “I know you’ll be in good hands. Take care of yourself!”

Millie watched her as she disappeared in the steep streets leading to the upper city, wrapped in her wide orange overcoat.

-“Mommy, don’t you think the new healer is a little weird?”

Her mother drew her into her arms and stroked her hair.

-“She has skills worthy of the old world, and she clams up like an oyster. But eventually she’ll get used to life here, like everyone does.” She gave her daughter a wide smile and pinched her cheek. “All that she needs is to find people she’d accept to spend her evenings with.”

***

And that’s it! Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a comment, I love feedback and I want to get better!

Hopefully I’ll publish the next one soon! It should be the introduction of Asbel, the sunshine but whirlwind blond boy!

#my writing #original writing #my ocs #land of hope #hope you'll like it! #i'm still very self conscious #i just got back to writing after several years #so i intend to get better! #but you gotta start where you can! #pleaaase give me feedback #i want y'all to like my kids as much as i do

[cheshirequeenwithoutaheart]

the magic jewellery box (well, anklet, but details)

Twin Wave City.

An odd name, but then this city is odd.

Not visibly, not on the surface, but if you live here long enough, you’ll start to understand what I mean. 

According to old tales told by those who still believe in the old legends - like that old fisherman who sits by the docks with an orange cat at his side - the name came about shortly after the first settlers arrived here. The land was fertile, crops growing in abundance alongside all of the fauna that used to be here, and the ocean was an endless source of fish for them, so they decided to stay.

Things were good for them, for a time.

One day, according to the tale, the ocean stilled as if frozen in time. The waves ceased to lap at the sands of the beach, the waters ceased to pound against rocks that dotted the shore line. The ocean just…stood still. The ocean became like a mirror, smooth and perfect, with no fish or animals to break it; they say that not even the stones thrown by children did anything, they just disappeared into the darkness that lay beneath the sea.

The settlers were afraid and, one by one, families started to leave. They believed that the area was cursed, that they would soon be ripped apart by vengeful spirits. That part came mostly from the mouths of those who'd taken to drinking as a way to steady their nerves, but their assumptions were fair for that time. As I’ve discovered, they probably weren’t wrong.

One family however, the family that would one day be credited as the sole founders of Twin Wave, thought differently. 

The patriarch, a man known as Augustus Pendle, said that his wife had reported seeing a strange glow emitting across the ocean like early morning fog. It came, she said, from an island.

The father set off with his oldest son on a boat bound for the island that lay not far off from where the settlement was.

When they arrived, they found a cave. In the cave was a cavern and, in that cavern, was a pool of crystalline blue water, the likes of which they had never seen before. In the centre of the pool was a stone platform with stepping stones leading to it. On the platform, was a statue of a woman.

They say that she was put there by the people that originally lived in that land, but I believe that she was always there. Dominic (that's my step-father, by the way) says that you can find old carvings up in the hills that stretch from the edge of Twin Wave to the centre of Cront, and that they refer to an old ceremony in which a teenager would travel to an island to become an adult. There are, he says, a load of carvings that refer to several beings, goddesses and gods according to some, that would protect the land from supernatural entities that dwell beyond the seams of our world.

Anyway, as the story goes, the father and the son, not really knowing what else to do, made an offering of food to the woman and left, not wanting to disturb the place where silence invaded every nook and cranny.

To begin with, it looked like nothing had happened, though no one expected anything to. The sea was still frozen in time.

But as soon as the pair set their foot back on the sand of the beach, something amazing happened.

From out of the water surrounding the island, there arose two enormous waves. The remaining settlers feared that they would be flooded by the waves, so high did those two waves rise, but as suddenly as the waves had arisen, they collapsed. This caused a ripple effect that managed to get the ocean moving once again.

After that day, the settlement was known as Twin Wave and once a year, the settlers would go to that island and make an offering to the statue of the woman, followed by a celebration.

The platform collapsed years ago, sending the statue of the woman down to the depths of the pool, but the city still holds that celebration.

No one knows what happened that day. Some are content to leave it a mystery, others search for a scientific explanation, and a few believe that the mystery of the statue on the island and the carvings on the hills and the twin waves all link together, all the result of supernatural and fantastical interference.

Before the events that prompted me to start writing down this log of sorts occured, I was content to leave it all as a mystery, to put the events of the past behind me and leave them in the fairy tales my mother told me whilst growing up...

But now, after what I’ve seen and all I’ve done, I know that there isn't a scientific explanation to be found, I know that the mystery that lurks behind Twin Wave city will not be left alone. It will be discovered, by chance or by the workings of the universe, and the end won't be pretty.

I guess I have to find it out first, before it reveals itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eh heh, hi. This is the beginning of a story I began somewhen last year, or the year before, but forgot about because of computer problems. It was, originally, set in our world, but I moved it into a world that is like ours, but more fantasy land like. That means the countries aren't like ours and the cities aren't like ours. It also smashes modern day elements (cars, phones, tvs) with a few elements from medieval fantasy (or any fantasy that isn't modern) that I still need to work out.

There’s kind of a magical girl thing going on, but with boys tossed in as well. The other themes, aside from magical girl (which I don’t think is really a theme), are fantasy (cause I’m predictable like that), mystery and supernatural/ anything that wasn't covered by fantasy but is sorta related to it. It is VERY self indulgent if I’m being honest with you, combining several of my guilty pleasures into one, but I wanted to have fun with it. We’ll see how far it goes as a wip.

Heads Up Seven Up!

thank you for the tag @zonnemaagd <3

game: share a line or snippet from your recent wip, then tag 7 people

WIP: Milly of the Sea (the start of chapter seven, this is super new and pretty rough)

    I feel warmth again. I’m wrapped in something scratchy, but in a soft and comforting way. Someone’s stroking my hair and humming. The song isn’t something familiar, but I really like it.

     I readjust my legs, which causes the humming to stop.

    “Aurymn?”

    “Mhm?” I reply.

    I’m slowly lifted up and I realise where I am, and who I’m with.

    “You’re awake…” Milly says, like it’s simultaneously the most unbelievable news ever, and also the greatest.

    “Yeah… I’m awake…” I try to remember when I went to bed, but I can’t seem to recall. “Did we drink last night?”

    She chuckles, but her eyes look sad. “No, no… We didn’t drink last night. You really don’t remember what happened? There was a storm…”

    Right… “Yes. I remember a storm. I remember a storm… and feeling sick.” I pause. Why is this so difficult to remember? “And so I went to your room. I don’t remember getting there, though.”

    “You didn’t. Get to our room, I mean.”

    “I didn’t?”

    She shakes her head no, then offers me a glass of water I didn’t notice was sitting beside her.

    I drink it slowly as I think.

    Storm, sick, going to Milly’s room… I remember talking to Milly, but we must’ve not been in her room. On the deck? Yeah. That seems right. On the deck, in the storm. The boat was rocking back and forth, back and forth…

    “I went overboard.” I meant it as a question, but it came out as a statement.

    “You did, yes.”

    “How did I get back?” I remember glowing eyes. A kingdom made of pearl. “I thought I was dead,” I say to myself, the words barely a breath.

Kelvin: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

Adrian : Suspicious.

Kelvin: No, it's not!

Jo: If it matters, probably not, but Holly was the last one to use it.

Holly: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

Jo: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Holly: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Jo!

Kenny : Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, Willa .

Willa : No! Who broke it!? <br everyone:="" <br=""> Jo: Willa ... Adrian 's been awfully quiet.

Adrian : rEALLY?!

*Everyone starts arguing*

Willa , being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.

Willa : I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

Willa :

Willa : Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

—————

Kenny : If you got arrested what would be the charges?

Kelvin: Theft.

Willa : Disturbing the peace.

Holly: Aggravated assault.

Adrian : Arson.

Jo: All of the above. In that order, probably.

—————

Kelvin: Good morning.

Holly: Good morning.

Adrian : Good morning.

Kenny : You all sound like robots, try spicing it up a bit.

Willa : MORNING MOTHERFUCKERS!

—————

Holly: So, what's for dinner?

Kenny , staring at the food they burnt: Regret.

Milly Of The Sea

Milly, putting their hands over Aurymn 's eyes: Guess who!

Aurymn : It's either Milly or the cold, clammy hands of death.

Milly, putting their hands away: It's Milly!

Aurymn : Dammit.

—————

Milly: Okay happy campers! If you were a fruit what would you be and why?

Aurymn : I'd be a tomato because no one accepts me as part of the group.

Milly: ...

Aurymn : ...

Milly: OKAY HAPPY CAMPERS-

—————

Aurymn : Do you want to know your gay name?

Milly: My... my gay name?

Aurymn : Yeah, it's your first name-

Milly: Haha. Very funny Aurymn -

Aurymn : *gets down on one knee* And my last name.

Milly: Oh- oh my god.

—————

Milly: Why do you act like we’re three year olds?

Buzz, exasperated: WHY?!?

Buzz points at Ledah: YOU TRIED TO HYJACK A CAR!

Buzz points at Aurymn : YOU NEARLY JUMPED 20 FEET OFF A CARPARK!

Buzz points at Milly: AND YOU ATE MULTIPLE DRIED LEAVES AND ROCKS OFF THE GROUND!

Buzz: AND YOU ASK ME WHY????

—————

Ledah: Words ending in 'ie' just sound so adorable. Like cutie, sweetie, cookie-

Aurymn : Eyy, homie!

Buzz: But then there's cootie...

Milly: Die.

Happy STS! But oh no! One of your characters has been stabbed! What chaos does this bring about? Who's been stabbed, who did the stabbing, who yanks the sword out without thinking, etc.? ♥️

Hi Tori!! Thanks so much, sorry I’ve been so awful at replying (or posting on here in general…)

This is such a fun one though!!

If I were to apply this to Milly Of The Sea, I think Aurymn would get stabbed either accidentally by a crew mate, or by someone in a battle. Either way, Milly would go crazy (protective girlfriend mode) and would definitely punish the person on the crew or duel the person if it was in a battle. And being an absolute sword master, she would definitely win! As for who would yank the sword out… probably Buzz in either situation?

Heads Up Seven Up (tag game)

Thank you for the tag @little-mouse-gardens !!

“Careful of sinking sand. If you find yourself stuck, immediately yell for help,” Somer says. The first words I’ve heard them say; when we were introduced all I got was a handshake and a nod.

Everyone grunts in acknowledgement and it hits me: I’m on a dangerous mission with pirates. Is this a good idea?

“We’re splitting into groups of three. Buzz is with Ledah and Jennie. Somer is taking Barnacle and Dar-Shee. I’m taking Aurymn, Malonne and Kite-”

“Boss! Don’t you think Jennie should come with your group? Logically, it makes sense for our most valuable person and our rookie to have a medic,” Buzz interjects.

Milly thinks it over. Some of the group shift on their feet, visibly nervous. For the mission? Or because of someone disagreeing with their captain?

“Okay. Jennie comes with us, Kite you’re with Buzz. Not because I’m more valuable than the lot of you, but you’re right that Aurymn might need a medic, especially after being out for a few days.”

“Yes captain!”

My words: About, Boy, Super, Glass, Sorrow

WIP: Milly Of The Sea

About

But it’s been a long while; by now she might not even remember me.  “I guess we’ve been travelling for about a month then.”

Boy

Edgar was the second oldest child. He was his parents’ favourite, as well as the village’s. He was deemed the ‘dream boy’ out of the bunch, due to his gorgeous face, athletic hobbies, and because of his kind nature towards the local problems. He seemed too good to be true. And was too good to be true. He, allegedly, killed his sister.

Super

I look down in embarrassment, pretending to be super extra interested in petting delta. Milly’s petting her too, delicately. She seems to know how to treat a dragon.

Glass

Rookden is the most lively place I’ve ever seen, and not just because of how busy it is. Yes, there are people everywhere, but what makes it feel alive is the vibrancy. Colours, everywhere! Banners and murals on walls, designs in the paths made of coloured stones or maybe stained glass, or gems.
