For a moment, she thought she would miss this place, the only place she had ever really known. The grey walls provided no real shelter but it was still home. #WhoNeedsAHero

Ailas looked towards the stormy, snow-capped mountains sloped on the horizon and smiled grimly. As each new year passed, he saw how unforgiving the land had become, colder, testing their will to survive, and taking those too weak to live.#sunscribbles

She remembered standing on a tall cliff, debating whether they should jump in the river below, worrying about its icy waters. Standing at the door, she wondered if crossing its threshold would feel worse than that plunge.#SunScribbles

“Many if our people died here, you know. Their spirits linger here, caught between this place and the next. It’s as ancient as it looks and filled with more secrets than we will ever know.”#lesficfri

Whispering seemed to be coming from the forest around them, becoming stronger and louder with each passing step. They began drawing their steel. And then, from the trees, the wolves came. #scififri

The young warrior finally turned to look at her, a hint of curiosity dancing in his eyes. He smiled again and she smiled back before looking away. He watched her for a few seconds more and turned back to the road again. #FeelLines

Ailas expected fear to grip the city, a fear of what would happen, of what awaited them over the mountains. Over time, he saw a change carry over his people. Instead of breaking them, their tribulations strengthened and fueled their resolve.#140Line

They were being slowly surrounded.Her heart leapt as she saw him fighting off three mendorians alone.Myleana knew he would not stop. As long as she was alive,he would not fighting. She had seen Kheleck fight often, but this was different. Now, she saw his ruse,his fear.#FeelLines

At the rear, two figures stood, patiently watching the road ahead. They knew in their bones that war was just beginning. The old warrior’s passive face told of an uncertain future. And, fear that this battle could be his last lined the creases of his weathered face.#FeelLines

“I need to know why you decided to stay,” she asked, her heart hammering in her chest. “You could have stayed behind yet you followed me here. Why?”
“We already know the answer,”he replied, keeping her gaze. “If you don’t, it’s an answer I can’t give you.”#140Line

The horses’ hooves echoed through the air as they hit the stone street. What was once a noisy courtyard was now silent, voice stilled by cruel violence. Soldiers looked around uncomfortably. It was as if they were expecting enemies to appear around them.#1linewed #1linewed

The first rider turned to speak but never had the chance as an arrow pierced his throat. He slumped off his horse, trying to gurgle out some words, chocking on his blood. The others spun around, looking for their attackers. Another rider fell to the forest floor.#Thurds

The quiet was disturbed by two crossbow bolts plunging into Mahel’s chest. Donal ran,brush and twigs lashing at his face. Behind him, two figures were emerging from the woods. He stumbled through the snow and fell hard, never seeing the stroke that severed his head.#Thurds

He looked at her for a moment and looked away when he noticed that behind her smile,a growing melancholy was forming, eyes watering slowly. He knew that her mother caused the grief but didn’t know why. He walked ahead to give her space. “Thanks,” she whispered. #FeelLines

[Sylvain @namessyl76]

He watched as the young soldier confidently stalked towards him, bloodied sword relaxed by his side.A smile formed and he quickly swung as the boy approached.A look of surprise marked his face as the boy deftly avoided the strike and embedded his own into his chest. #Twisted2sday

The snow whipped at his face as he stood stoically at the wall, his gloved hands resting on the glistening ramparts, exiled, yet home. He watched as a patrol emerged from the forest, having taken care of whoever had disturbed its sanctity. Soon, a retribution would come.#Monsense

“We gave them shelter in times of need,” Myleana said, looking down from the hill.The tall warrior next to her nodded, watching soldiers charging at each other.”Now we will take back what they took from us,” he said. She raised her arm and her riders surged forward.#SlapDashSat

Black smoke twisted its way up into the sky, bring dead souls along with it. He stood up on the rise, watching the plain below, his lips curling into a smile. For so long he had wanted revenge and now that he saw the horror of it, he strangely wanted more.#Twisted2sday
