Gabriel smiled softly. “Take a step closer to the tree before you throw again, it should properly rotate and lodge in the tree that way,” He took the hatchet and lodged it perfectly in the tree. He retrieved it for Lucy before speaking again. “I’ve seen such games at festivals. I never participated, though I have been…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I’ve never done it lol. I looked up a YouTube tutorial.

Gabriel patted her shoulder lightly as if to say it was alright, though his own ears didn’t appreciate the sound.

“Nice try.” Gabriel picked up the hatchet, and gave it back to her. “Throw it straight. Take your time if you have to, and don’t put so much force in.…[Read more]

“I can teach you that as well, but I want to teach you how to throw an axe first. It could come in handy in this labyrinth.” Gabriel removed the cover and checked the hatchet over, then took a few steps closer to the tree, until about 12 feet away. “I think it’ll throw good from this distance. Any farther and it might…[Read more]

Thank you. The performance went okay. I remembered all the choreography, but I didn’t perform as well as I could have, which is about as good as I could have hoped for feeling like this. I feel a little better now and I’m hoping the cold will be gone soon. The dizziness usually lingers annoyingly long.

I wish I’d thought of that when my grandma was in the hospital, but it was summer, so we were all barefoot anyway. My siblings and I were riding the elevators up and down. They were the fun kind where you could see out of the window.

@ellette-giselle

XD This is what I get for trying to post when sick… @rae the message several above was for you.

@ESTHER-C

YESSS!!!!! This is PERFECT right down to thanksgiving in the hospital hehehehe I am actually so happy you wrote that!

When I saw it in my email, I literally screamed and my dad was like “are you okay?” it was really funny, he was very concerned 😂😂

@esther-c

Lol! Easton… no… don’t promise all that! 😢 You don’t know what’s going to happen!

Willow and Ruby are so cute. 🤣

@theducktator

Aw, I’m sorry! How are you feeling now?

@esther-c I’ll be praying! 🤗

@theducktator

lol, thanks….. but I think that message was for @rae , unless you’re talking about something I wrote…. (which you very well might be with my track record…… XD)

@theducktator

Oh poor girl! I’ll be praying!

So I feel absolutely awful, it’s 4am over here, I can’t sleep in because of church, and I have a performance right after church. So if anyone sees this, prayers for the performance would be appreciated, especially as this cold has settled in my ears, which really messes up my balance.

“Because this place is dangerous, and no place for a child. You should be at home, eating cookies or something by a fire. Children should be protected above others, because they’re the future, and the most vulnerable. That’s why.”

They rounded a corner of the maze, opening up into a circular area, about thirty feet in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lol, yes.

The foggy labyrinth stretched on before them. Gabriel’s hearing had returned, and now be could hear footsteps somewhere along one of the many passages. They were too far away for Gabriel to be able to distinguish man from beast. He kept his hand on the hilt of his knife, eyes scanning the walls of the maze.…[Read more]

@rae

I liked the civil disobedience debate…

“Lucy! You should have used the key to go home!” Gabriel dug his fingertips into his hair, before sighing, composing himself, and putting his mask back on. “Let’s go.”

@ellette-giselle

It’s hard for me to answer this because it kind of was a slap, but it also feels like the right way to end it. It made sense and concluded his arc. Like Whaley said, we were never promised he would live nor did his arc hinge on it. I’d file this under “books whose endings I will complain angrily about to my siblings but still…[Read more]

Gabriel looked down at her. “You really shouldn’t breath in mysterious mists that are down low like that. Many poisonous mists are heavier than air.” She appeared fine, so Gabriel decided not to freak out. “What is it you want me to look at?”
