AN: I've been messing around with this for a while. After finishing my perscribed writing for ROTLG, though. What can I say, I just really like fantasy, and I've kinda always wanted to try a WoT fanfic. It's nice to have an original story so I can flex my creative muscles, but plain-ol' fanfics are nice too, being just easier t...

“So.” Kate repeated after her.
The two were standing at the fork where the road branched away from the estate. One wound in the direction of the forest to the east, while the other went down toward the grassy lowlands, disappearing beyond the rolling hills where hazy, white clouds drifted endlessly.

I've been trying to find pictures I'm satisfied with for the characters. I started with Morrigan, who was actually damn hard to get one for, but I finally did. I'm super super stoked with it, though I got no clue who the artist is. Here it is for those curious.

Kate stared at her childhood home from a distance. She still wore her panoply, her remaining supplies slung over one shoulder. She was tired and filthy and hungry, but she didn’t take a single step closer. That white-paved road, that short bridge, crossing the waterfa...
2024-08-19 15:13:58 +0000 UTC View PostIt's more of an edit, really. I had this thing planned where the protagonist from my latest story was essentially yanked out of a christian-esque hell and dumped into warhammer, but I'm having second thoughts. No big spoilers here really, the scripture excerpts should've given it away. It's not that I think it's uninteresting. But I feel it migh...
2024-08-15 18:37:25 +0000 UTC View PostI decided to change Beatrice's name to Cathlyn. No particular reason other than me not liking the original. Thalion's too. It's now Eltarion, one that's perhaps too similar to the high elf from the fantasy setting, but I like it. I doubt he'll show up anyway. And Alastor is now just Alastair.

But some men will say, how are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?

He blinked slowly. Once. Twice. Then his pale cheeks gained a pink tint. “Bad.” He rasped.
There was a hint of a smile on Morgaine’s face. Her hands lingered on him before she ...

“Don’t come anymore.” He said after a while. “I’ll… be fine on my own.”
Her caress halted briefly, but then she trailed her talons along his temples, to his jaw and down his neck. She di...

Thalion insisted, perhaps out of duty or a sense of guilt that they be treated like true highborn children. It made some sense for Beatrice given she was his blood, but for her siblings, it was extremely unusual. Changelings were...

“Stop scowling.” Morgaine said, glancing at Beatrice. They were seated across from each other in the carriage, drawn by two kelpies—shape-shifting creatures that could take the form of horses. Though they appeared docile and beautiful, they were extremely dangerous. The children were forbidden from nearing them...
2024-07-25 18:00:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhen their class ended, Eli trailed behind Belle and Licia. Their expressions were carefully blank in the manner of not having understood anything, but not wanting to make it known. He felt sorry for them. If he had the mind of a child, there was no way he’d have kept up.
“I doubt we’re expected to remember everything.” He said con...
2024-07-23 18:34:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a silent walk, Eli found himself standing in front of a door. It was open, exposing a spacious bedroom with a huge double-bed at the end. The smooth covers were disturbed on one side, but not by much. The occupant would’ve been a child—a four-year-old boy, perhaps.
‘I woke up here.’ Eli thought, the memories slowly r...

A boy awoke with a start, trembling and breathing raggedly. His hand curled at his chest, grasping at his shirt like a claw. Memories of the nightmare quickly faded from his mind, but it was a while before his thundering heartbeat returned to normal.
