Ooh, neat! Can I just say, I already love Arvi (and, I mean, a water mage? Ugh, that’s so cool!) 🙂 And yes, I just might! I’ve been scrolling through my documents trying to find some more… 😀
Oh my word XD I’ve read this multiple times and love it
@writerlexi1216 Hehe, thanks 😀 I’m rather fond of the lad myself (he was my main character for a hot second, actually), even if he does little but complain. 😛 Oooh, please post them if you find any!!
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
I found some more lines of dialogue I’d like to share… :3
“You study history? About the war?” Caira said, drumming her fingers on the side of the coffee mug she cradled. “But I thought people weren’t meant to do that.”
Evie slightly shrugged, and resumed smoothing out the wrinkles of her black cloak, keeping her white eyes down. “Then it’s a good thing I’m a ghost and not a person.”
I like this one too:
Caira gulped, her eyes unwavering as she stared at the Wanted poster in her trembling hands. Her eyes shot up to meet Newton and his raven–which only nipped at his worn cloak–and the words suffocated her when she said, “You’re an outlaw?”
Deek had propped his boot up on a stone and began to tighten the strings. “Welcome to the trio. Now that makes three of us running from the law.”
This one is a fave of mine:
“Just close the door,” Caira said, waving her hand vaguely. Her eyes never wavered from the book she had propped up on the table, and the sagging black sleeves of her cloak hung over the chair arm. “Honestly, I can’t think with you just standing there.”
Jestin shut it quietly, lifting an eyebrow when he faced her. “So, can I ask why you’re locked down here by yourself in the middle of the night? And what’s with all the black? You look like you’re going to a funeral.”
Caira groaned, tightening her hands into a fist and letting her book fall flat on the table with a thud. “You broke my concentration.”
“Sorry.”
Caira brushed her tattooed hand through her wavy curls of brownish-blond hair. “No, you’re fine. My mind is just tired.”
Jestin bit his lip. “Are you okay?”
Caira didn’t bother brushing the loose strands of hair out of her eyes, and she sighed.
“No, I’m not okay,” she said. “I was trapped in ice one thousand years, the government wants me killed, I’ve been arrested more times than I bother to count, I met and had coffee with a ghost yesterday, I need to find a magical tree, and now I’m trying to understand why my telekinesis is defective.”
“… Bad question, huh?”

@writerlexi1216 Those are fantastic! I love this story SO much!!!
@gracie-j
Ehehehe, thank you!! Those are more lighthearted ones. I’m normally better at writing serious quotes, but *shrug* still working on them 🙂
*Internally screaming* I LOOOOOOVE THOSE!!! I’m honestly not exaggerating in the least, those are so incredible (seriously, when this is published, I want a signed copy) I mean this is fantastic! It was nearly impossible to choose a favorite, but since I adore your trio so much, I have to choose the second:) I love how they all reacted, Caira shocked, Deek shrugging it off more, or less (how did Newton react?) Was this after the official meeting? Sorry for the questions, it’s just, wow, I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS! 😀
*also internally screaming* THANK YOU!!! Seriously, that means so much to me!! 😀 And yes!! You’ll be one of the first people who gets a free, signed copy!! 😉 Aww, thank you!! I liked that one, too, because that’s right in the middle of Newton’s introduction. Yes, I know! Newton was pretty casual about it. Beforehand, Caira asks him to prove that he isn’t a soldier anymore, so Newton hands her a Wanted poster of himself as proof. This is actually right in the middle of their meeting, too, which is an… interesting scene 😛 No, you’re totally fine!!! I’m honestly SO thrilled that you love my characters!!!! I’m over the moon about it!!!
@writerlexi1216 Oh my goodness, I LOVE these so much!!!!!! I’m so curious about Evie now btw 😛 And the last one made me laugh out loud. Caira is simply wonderful 😀 Thank you for sharing!!!
“Seven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?”
Your welcome:) And thank you, (It’ll definitely be one of my favorite books, tbh there are only a few other published books aside from your future bestseller here that I’d put in my Book Chest. Which is an ancient-looking chest that I only put my most treasured book in:)
And that scene sounds so incredible. I can literally imagine Newton being casual about that XD That is just genius! I’m literally dying to know what happens, (although I remember you mentioning once that a sword was involved? I did an illustration based on that, but I don’t know how accurate it will look, but I can always re-do that one:)Thanks, Elizabeth!!! 😀 I’m glad you like them! Oh, YES, I know. Evie is one of my most mysterious characters… she’s introduced in the seventh chapter, I believe, and is kind of like the mentor to Caira. And yes, I meant it when I said she’s a ghost O.O She’s over nine hundred years old, but she looks like a young, eleven-ish year old girl. She’s great.
Haha, thanks!! I like that scene a lot. It’s one of the rare times Caira gets an attitude XD Of course!! You inspired me to do it 😉
Awww, that’s SO SWEET of you to say!!! I’m honestly over the moon about the fact that you enjoy my book (because I got so nervous it wasn’t any good), so thank you so much!!! Your comments always give me faith that it may be published someday, and they really encourage me 🙂
Thanks! I’ve recently edited that scene quite a lot, so I might post it sometime in the future 😉 Ahaha, I know, Newton is mostly casual when it comes to things, except when he and Caira start arguing (those scenes are adorable/humorous)… And yes, a sword is involved! OH MY GOSH, seriously??? Ahh, I’m just dying to see your illustrations!!! Just, a million thank yous for drawing them!!! I’m sure you did a fabulous job!!! 😀 Eeeek! *tries to be patient but internally screaming*

@writerlexi1216 Girl, every word is a treat to me!! And, yeah, these made me a chuckle!
I’m so glad, (because I just cannot lie about how much I love it!)
AND YES!!! I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, 100% WOULD BE ECSTATIC TO READ IT IF YOU DECIDE TO POST!!! (btw, I’d love to read it, if you can’t tell XD ). I love the vision of them arguing, it’s the funniest, adorablest, awesomest thing ever! 😀
And actually, thank you for letting me draw these awesome characters of yours! (I’ve been taking advantage of my camera-less time to continue drawing them:) Quick question though: would Caira hold a sword one-handed or two? I’m pretty sure she’d do two, but just making sure;) I hope to post them as soon as possible:) They’ve been like old friends the whole time I was illustrating:)@gracie-j
Aw, thanks, girl!!! I’m so glad you like them! 🙂
YAY!!! That makes me SO HAPPY!!! And of course you’ll be the first person I tag! Your feedback means sooo much to me, and I feel so honored that you’re wanting to read it!! I’ll try do make a few more edits 😉 It’s in Chapter Five, by the way, though I don’t think I’ll post Chapter Three since I haven’t finished writing it…
I know, it makes me grin every time I write out a scene with Newton and Caira together… they’re so adorable. And of course! You’re more than welcome to use them for any drawings! Hmm… yeah, she’d probably hold a sword two-handed since she isn’t used to holding a sword. Ooh, great! I’ll try to be patient:) Awwwww, that made me smile!! They’d love to meet you too (if they weren’t fictional, that is…)! 🙂
