Livia

She watched in awe as Chase mounted. Although he claimed to not have ridden in years, Liv couldn’t have known. He was a natural on a horse. She smiled to herself. She was glad that there was another horse-lover at this school. Maybe she wouldn’t be as out of place as she had originally thought.

@jonas @thearcaneaxiom @highscribeofaetherium (I think I forgot to tag you for the first few chapters, sorry!)

Okay, here’s chapter 5.

Chapter 5: Names

The next seven months flew by in a blur.

Sef eagerly helped Neveah with whatever she asked of her, sweeping, washing the dishes, mopping the floor, and all with such vigor that surprised even…[Read more]

@rae @grcr @anyone-else

Since you guys liked the other Lilitu+Sef (AKA “LEFSE!”) scene I posted, I thought you might like this one as well!

As Sef walked with Lilitu, her side tingled.

He was so close to her.

Her heart beat wildly and her stomach turned inside out. She was happy, more than happy, because she was with Lilitu, and Lilitu made…

@rae oh sorry I forgot to tag you XD

Livia

“Well, Xandro’s a good teacher, aren’t you?” she over enunciated each syllable, making sure Xandro got the point and wasn’t going to try any tricks. Xandro curled his lip and seemed to glare at Liv, and then turned his warm eyes back to Chase.

@rae

Livia

She was glad to see that Chase liked Xandro. And Xandro seemed to like him as well. It wasn’t often that Xandro was able to bond with another person.

“Would you like to ride him?” she asked Chase. “I’m sure Xandro wouldn’t mind,” she eyed Xandro, warning him not to even try and object.

Ottoline

“I’m not sure how I can learn,” she bit her lip. “It will be really hard for me…and I’m not sure if you picked the right person to train, I’m pretty slow.”

Ottoline

She took a deep breath. “I want to learn, it’s just, I’m not sure how.”

Livia

“Where did you learn to do that?” Callista gasped.

“I kind of taught myself,” Liv smiled shyly, now feeling awkward. She shouldn’t have been such a show off, she knew, but she couldn’t resist. “With Xandro, it’s easier, because he won’t let me fall off.” She noticed the boy petting Xandro. “If you scratch under his mane, like this,” she…[Read more]

@rae

I’m not sure. Maybe?

Ottoline

“I’m sorry,” she said. “That must be awful.” she paused. “I had to leave my little brother behind in that awful place, when I escaped. I let him down,” she sniffed the tears away. “I just don’t want to let anyone down again.” she turned to face Ellis. “And if I die, who will save him? If I live, if I can’t protect the people I care…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Yeah, me too.

@rae

Oh…I kind of always knew XD When I talk to someone on KP I always check their profile bc I’m curious if we’re the same age or not.

@rae

Is it just me, or do you guys get nervous when you realize you’ve been talking to and imagining someone as about your age, and discover they’re soooo much older?

Um…YES! I do that all the time!

Ottoline

“I…” Ellis paused.

“I’m sorry,” Ottoline said, “I shouldn’t have-I didn’t mean to bring it down…”

@jonas

Ottoline

“Scared of learning to defend yourself?” Ellis asked. Ottoline almost laughed. Instead, a silent tear fell down her cheek as she watched the birds flit about outside.

“No,” she said softly. “What if I can’t protect the people I care about? I’m scared that-that they were right, that I am nothing, that I deserved everything the…[Read more]

@esther-c

Fynn and Lukas are hilarious!

Liv

She twisted the bronze knob and the door swung open. “Whoa,” she said, taking in the sight. The room was beautiful. Xandro snorted and stopped walking. “Not you, buddy,” Liv gently smacked him with the back of her hand.

She found an open bunk and plopped her stuff down. The beds were made neatly, and…[Read more]

@jonas @rae @everyone

I have to go now, I’ll continue the conversation later.

Ottoline

“I know but-” she stopped. She turned away to the window so he wouldn’t see the tears welling up in her eyes. “I’m scared,” she whispered.

@jonas

Ottoline

“Does it have to be a sword?” she asked. “I could use a gun, or my bow. I’d like to see how the dragons would react to a gun.” she rattled off, trying to seem defiant, but inside, Ottoline was panicking.

Ellis could never understand, she knew. And what scared her is that she knew he was right, it would be useful if they had o…[Read more]
