The first thrill of excitement is always the most potent when the victory is unique; no matter how unsteady or hard the steps were.

Every tavern in the city hummed with energy: drinks and food flowed freely, musicians of every skill played at street corners or in the central square, even the prostitutes were out in their colorful red and green gowns.

-#WIP Excerpt

Autumn. Golden leaves fall to the courtyard below. Crisp air, cool from the morning rain, fills your lungs deeply. Refreshed, you turn to continue with your tasks.

“That’s not permitted,” said Rayne.
“To shadows with what’s permitted! You only won our bout because of that dirty trick you played.”
“Giving a compliment is hardly a dirty trick, you got flustered on your own accord.”
-Excerpt from dark fantasy #WIP

[Valerie Lillis @LillisWrites]

Summer. The air is hot and dry as the sun mercilessly beats upon the earth. Leaves, once green and lush, now dull and shriveled. When water will come next, none is certain.
