Soaring To Her Destiny
Don’t you walk away from me, Amber. You going to stop me, Father Jon? This is your destiny you’re trying to escape. White feathered wings flapped gently against the crystal blue sky, the breeze waving through her blonde ponytail. Freedom flowing through the fabric of her plain, light blue dress. His voice vanishes from her ...The Thinnest Edge
Both of them stand at a precipice. Neither of them dares to speak for fear of saying the wrong thing- or perhaps the right thing. He stands with arms outstretched, magic crackling up and down their tanned skin. At his fingertips, the magic is lightning. She doesn’t move because if she does, he’ll react. Instead, ...Crowdsourced Magic
At home, life is messy and covered in broken amber-colored glass bottles. Here the noise drowns out the screaming in him; there’s a test tomorrow, and he should be in bed. Here, Andrew could ignore how terrible his home life is and move with the crowd. He could bend and twist and shout and clap ...The Justice Of Usa – Part 6
It’s not exactly a clean getaway. Not like it should be. Usa knows as much, but there’s nothing she can do about it. As her feet crash against the forest floor, as her heart beats in her ears, she tries not to think about her messy escape. She tries not to think of the woman ...Who Stole The Artifact
He wasn’t there to do a noble deed. The metal door to the vault unlocks with the sound of two clicks, his amber magic fading into nothing. He strains his ears to listen for trouble, for signs that those two clicks set off something. When nothing came, the figure dressed in rags opens the door ...Royal & Justice
They stand on the edge, breathing in the ocean’s smell beneath them, their arms spread out. They take a deep breath, close their eyes; when they open their eyes, the wind captures their blonde hair, and it blows out behind them. On the palm of their hand, which they face upward, orbs of blue magic ...The Justice Of Usa – Part 5
The library of Tamdenworth is a two-story brick house of knowledge, noisy floorboards, and the musty smell of books. It is one of the newer buildings in Tamdenworth, and it stands tall as if daring the occupants of the town to enter. Usa takes that dare, holding her lantern high; the steps up to the ...The Justice Of Usa – Part 4
She stands now, on that cliff, her back to the cave. While surviving on the outskirts of town, she heard murmurs of the king’s order; she heard of the punishment for denying it. Usa wonders about the king, about the state of her town, her country, but what can she do? There’s a million questions ...The Justice Of Usa – Part 3
For a while, Usa stumbled around the outskirts of town, trying to stay alive in the wilderness. When her days were not spent hunting (using what little she knew), they were spent at the bank of a small stream. There, Usa would stare into her reflection and cringe at what stared back at her. Parts ...
