What remained of the journey the next morning was mostly silent. Lex hadn't returned, much to my surprise. Eon had shrugged, assuming he'd gone on ahead. Dima trailed behind Talon like a much smaller shadow and more than once I watched him look down at her with frustration. He'd finally pulled her onto the horse behind him when it almost stepped on her. At least I didn't cling to him like a small child. I had taken Lex's horse and rode alongside him, but our conversation was almost non-existant.

Eon rode in the carriage for the rest of the two day journey. None of us trusted him on a horse by himself. The open wounds on his head and Talon's shoulder look a little better. Luckily, Talon had come prepared. He had various vials and powders in a small bag, neatly tucked into separate sleeves and labeled with letters that didn't mean much to me. I had cleaned both thoroughly and Talon had provided a jar of blue black liquid that had glowed for a few seconds after I dripped it over both injur

We left much later than two days. Almost a month later it was time. The morning was gorgeous. Fall had descended and the grounds were starting to reflect it. Being in a warm climate by the ocean we normally didn't see snow but the temperature still dropped and the trees at the edges of our property had begun to change with the season. They'd shifted slowly in vibrant reds, bright yellows, and warm oranges. Winter along the ocean was right around the corner. The breeze and air had chilled and I f

@Buz I have an angst checklist I abide by 🤣

Only the first time I entered The Shift had filled me with this much fear. It wasn't the shadows or the dark this time, however. The gnawing feeling that Talon wouldn't even open the door for me kept forcing itself to the forefront of my mind. I pulled at my sleeve as I walked. I hardly noticed as the lights started appearing on the walls. Nothing was giving me comfort tonight, apparently. I had waited until sunset for a number of reasons, including trying to avoid anyone who might give me troub

@KellyONE I’m sorry! I’m glad it was worth it!

@Ang3lI will try! This was kind of a random story that just popped into my mind so it’s not pre-written! Thank you for reading!❤️

I sat in the small clearing we'd come to the day before. It wasn't long after sunrise and the cool morning breeze whipped through my body. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself. Sunlight was filtering through the trees but it wasn't strong enough to completely pierce the dense forest around me. For some reason this was part of the estate that I didn't visit regularly. It was on the far end, farthest away from the ocean. Always so dark, it was an area I wasn't naturally drawn to. I lifted

“Where do we start then?” “All fours.” “Excuse me?” Talon rolled his eyes and pointed down toward the ground. I slowly lowered to my knees and those eyes rolled again. He moved behind me and pushed me forward onto my hands. “Push ups little lord. I'm not propositioning you.” I felt myself flush, heat spreading over my face and up my neck to my ears. I'd never been a very active person and my parents had given up on that front as soon as they'd decided I was powerless. I extended m

“Mama I'm sorry. Just let me try one more time. I'll do better I promise!” “You're not capable of doing any better Kalian! You simply can't!” Her voice was a harsh scream and her voice broke at the end as she sobbed into her hand. She composed herself only seconds later and glared at her youngest child. His lackluster hair hung in tangled pieces around his face. His predominately blue eyes were filled with tears as he scrambled to pick up the bowl of water he'd spilled all over. His eyes pl

Noah watched the surprise on Seth's face slowly fade and tried to suppress his own shock. His brain obviously wasn't in charge of him right now. Was he ready for that? He was suddenly worried that it was the lust talking and he wasn't ready for this at all. It was a big step for him. He knew that and so did Seth, but he wasn't sure where this was going. Obviously he knew what he had just said and they way Seth's pupils had dilated had sent a shudder through Noah. He bit his lip as Seth's hands r

Noah walked slowly down the hallway, pulling nervously at the ends of his hair and chewing his lip. He didn't understand why he was so nervous? Things at work since the night they'd gone to the club and the impromptu dinner had been awkward. Mostly on Noah's part. He didn't know how to approach Seth now that things had become more intimate. He didn't want things to go back to the way they had been before, rude remarks and dirty looks, but his nerves being set on edge every time he saw the other

I was surprised that this time I wasn't as scared of the dark alleyways that led to Talon's home. As I made my way back through them, I sighed. How was I going to explain this to my family? I had escaped in the middle of the night, stayed out until dawn, and now I was coming back with power. A power that'd never appeared in my family. A power I didn't know if I'd ever heard of. How had Talon's strange concoction forced this out of me? I'd been trying everything I could for years. On top of the t

Sunlight spilled through the almost too large windows and Seth slowly opened his eyes. Turning his face back into the pillow, he groaned. The beginnings of a massive headache were forming at his temples and the light had not helped. Alcohol was the devil. That much he knew. He hadn't even had much or had it very fast but it didn't matter. Apparently, he was old now and hangovers set in fast and hit him hard. Lifting his head slowly he looked over to the other side of the bed and frowned when he

“Come here darling. Sit with me and look at the stars.” “Mama, I don't like the dark.” “Silly boy. The dark is beautiful and peaceful. If that's not enough for you, it serves a purpose. You can't have light without the dark.” The small boy looked up through the window, following his mother's gaze. Crawling up onto her lap the boy tried to see what his mother saw. He tried his hardest, small face scrunching in effort. Her fingers ran through his copper hair, brushing it away from his fa

My palms sought out the walls as I tried following Talon through the dark. That low whistle started again and in between whistles he hummed a song that seemed familiar but I couldn't place. After what seemed like forever we reached the end of the path and the stone walls that came into view looked blessedly like what I was used to. The path had widened as we progressed and Talon stopped at the edge of the light. I moved past him into it and basked in the sunlight. Talon's alley was dark and diso

Dimian is a large country on the continent of Amres. Bordered by Dleth and Serran, it's a safe haven for those in the world gifted with Magik. The east side of the country lays on the Mariede Sea. To the west is the snow capped Aine mountains. Magik is passed down through bloodlines and the oldest families normally create the strongest users. It's very rare for a person to be born to these families without the gift. Any element, object, or force can be the focus of someone's power. Magik users c

In a society where manifesting a strong gift is everything, how does one navigate without any power? Especially when you come from a family celebrated for theirs. Kalian Alauis, discouraged and frustrated stumbles into a strange alley one day and the entire trajectory of his life changes dramatically. Kalian is suddenly dealing with a king, a queen, an obsession, an unwanted marriage, and the fight for his very life. On top of this, he finds himself enamored with a man who seems to always be out of reach. Maybe being invisible was easier?

Noah was freaking out. It was about a half hour drive to the club they were going to and he was stuck sitting next to gorgeous personified. Seth's hair had even more curls than usual. They weren't as tight as Lia's, but they still framed his face and the ends curled toward his eyes. He was dressed simply enough in jeans and a black shirt but that shirt was pulled over a broad chest and shoulders. Noah could see every muscle tense and relax when his passenger moved. He wasn't sure if it was actua

Following Noah through the hotel, Seth was surprised at how nice it was. The lobby floor might have been real marble and the people behind the front desk were wearing business formal. He glanced down at his worn jeans and almost threadbare shirt and tried to avoid looking at anyone. How did Noah afford this? It had to be expensive, especially on such short notice. He felt his eyes narrowing more and more as he continued to look around. The whole place was art deco with accents of gold, black, an
