The Guild – Chapter 174 – Kaitlyn

    I find myself dragged to the stables after the maids have redressed me. They wait until Andrei has left to meet up with the Lord. Apparently, he requested that the two of them spend the afternoon having tea and talking. Boring stuff, he assured me. He says I will have much more fun …

Birthday Anniversary – Heath

I bolt upright in my bed, energy coursing through my body like I was on fire. At first, I’m a little confused. I don’t expect to see a mobile plane and blimp hanging from the dark night sky-blue ceiling. Neither do I expect to see my brothers bed across from mine, sheets half hanging off, …

The Guild – Chapter 173 – Selene

    The sun set several hours ago now. After a late dinner, I retrieve my computer from the library and say goodnight to Heath. Today held more excitement than I had expected, what with a near accident on the balcony. Thinking about it still raises my blood pressure. I saw an image of his …

The Guild – Chapter 172 – Heath

     Cliff waves as he walks off. Apparently, he has other classes to manage this afternoon so he can’t stay longer. Despite what Selene says about him being a nuisance, I don’t find him to be all that bad. He seemed a bit nosy to my liking, especially with the strange tension between him and …

The Guild – Chapter 171 – Selene

    Between my research and looking after Heath, I have very few reasons to leave the library of late. Sleep evades me, my mind consumed with the fates of the mages out in the world, vulnerable and hunted. The visions gnaw at the back of my mind. So many young lives snuffed out in …

The Guild – Chapter 170 – Heath

    Although it’s already been a day since Selene somehow managed to lock away the magic within me, I still can’t believe how quiet my thoughts are. That, and my hands; I was so accustomed to the blackness, the sign of my magic, that I can’t seem to stop staring at them everywhere I …

The Guild – Chapter 169 – Selene

    I find the quiet of the library to be quite soothing. Not many people come here, and it’s far from the popular areas of the Guild. I find peace here; the thoughts of other people have grown louder in the last few months, though I’m not sure why. It’s become increasingly difficult to …

Birthday Bash – Emrys

Here is my return, with a WIP chapter for a character that hasn't shown up yet in our blog tale. Sorry for the lethargic post. I have been moving countries!! I am now returned to Canada and am settling in. With the newfound time, I can return to editing and posting chapters. Also, update on …

The Guild – Chapter 168 – Andrei

    I glare daggers in the King’s direction as Lord Halsey pulls Kaitlyn away. At least I’m relieved he was there to stop anything from happening, but still, I can’t seem to take my eyes away from her. The finely dressed Lady in front of me tsks her tongue as I spy Kaitlyn waving …

The Guild – Chapter 167 – Kaitlyn

    The carriage rocks and bumps along the dirt path toward the King's palace. The Lord and Lady sit on the padded bench across from us. It's not terribly uncomfortable, but it's not nearly the same as a car or a bus in our time. The journey is relatively pleasant.     There are …

The Guild – Chapter 166 – Andrei

    I set down the napkin after wiping my face, smacking my lips; the breakfast was delicious. Freshly baked bread with jams, pastries of various sorts with creamy butter and cheese, fresh fruits and some venison. The venison had been spiced with a flavour I’m not so familiar with. I hope I can ask …

The Guild – Chapter 165 – Kaitlyn

    The evening flies by as we talk with the Halseys. We’re taken to the dining hall and served a late dinner, talking well past darkness. They finally let us retire for the night with promises of more excitement in the morning. As the servants clear away the meal, we’re led by a maid …

The Guild – Chapter 164 – Andrei

    I feel that familiar, strange sense of excitement that normally comes from first arriving in a new time. It’s been ages since I last jumped and the thrill of learning about a new time period grips me once again. And this time, it’s not just any time period, it’s the Renaissance era, the …

The Guild – Chapter 163 – Heath

    I hear the clack of her shoes as they recede and his grip loosens on my mind. I feel like I’ve been caught in the clutches of a seizure as he releases me. I let out a strangled gasp, feeling drained and heavy.     “Nooo… Please,” I beg her, but she’s long …

The Guild – Chapter 162 – Caroline

    Kaede and I return to the silent dorm wing after dinner with Hitomi and Gwen. It was unusually quiet without Andrei and Kat. I didn’t see Heath either. I wonder if they’ll be having a late dinner tonight.     I reach a hand for the doorknob when something on the floor catches …

The Guild – Chapter 161 – Kaitlyn

    The sky grows dark in what feels like a matter of moments. We fell asleep so quickly and so easily after that intense experience. The growling of our stomachs woke us, even mine. After feeling sick for days, I finally feel hungry again. Maybe it was the stress after all.     Andrei …

The Guild – Chapter 160 – Andrei

*>* Just a warning, this chapter contains mature subject matter. Reader discretion is advised if making love is something you don't want to read 😉 Please skip from this symbol to the second one... Though, you'll miss an important plot point if you skip it, mwahaha.       The torches that line the walls …

The Guild – Chapter 159 – Kaitlyn

    I still can't believe what I saw this morning. Andrei made the whole cave just… disappear. I knew Guardians had incredible power, but I never imagined he could do that. I sit in the cafeteria, staring into a mug of tea in a haze of disbelief. I wonder what Lava will do when …

The Guild – Chapter 158 – Heath

    After Kaitlyn leaves, I begin to shake. I can’t believe what I’ve just done! I stare down at my hands with disgust, feelings like I’m looking at someone else's hands instead of my own. I feel so disconnected.     ‘Don’t take all the credit. It was mostly me,’ the lava jeers.   …

The Guild – Chapter 157 – Andrei

    I find myself on the white sands of a beach. The water laps the shore gently and the cry of gulls high above break the otherwise silent landscape. Behind me is a copse of bushes that runs along the length of the beach, providing cover and protection from the wind.     I …
