I sent texts to the others, and one to Ambrosse, asking about the kids. She said to keep them with us today. It took twenty minutes to convince Ylenia that she needed to watch today so she can learn later. Finally, all of us are gathered and dressed for combat. I ran into … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 110 -Kaitlyn

    <How are you today?> I type slowly, looking for each letter on the keyboard.     <Good. It is cold here. How are you, Himoti?> His response dings as my phone receives it.     <The weather is warm. I am ->  How am I? I don’t feel particularly good, though I suppose I am … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 109 – Hitomi

    Everything is dark. I hear the sound of dripping water, as light starts to stretch out from around me. The floor is freezing under my bare feet and the air isn’t much better. I rub my arms. This must be a dream because I can’t feel the fire. I watch the lit area … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 108 – Kaitlyn

    I heave a heavy sigh as they disappear through the portal, dropping my sword and running to Kat. My arm throbs painfully, but I push it to the back of my mind. I need to make sure they are ok first.     I slide to a stop and fall onto my knees … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 107 – Andrei

    As soon as I heard the words out of his mouth I knew exactly what I had to do. I had to kill it. Or both. I’d be happy either way.     I can’t help but feel broken hearted over the news and I now regret the actions I took all those … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 106 – Samantha

    I have to admit, parents aren't as frightening as I expected. I’m not really sure what I expected. More yelling, maybe? Kaede’s parents are just as welcoming. They listen calmly as he explains, though they don’t seem to understand why he’s been with us if he doesn’t have magic. He tells them we … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 105 – Kaitlyn

    I lay on the bed, hair loose and spread out over the sheets as I stare up at the ceiling. My feet hang over the side of the bed but don’t touch the floor. I twitch my fingers, moving them against Kaedes head. He lays facing the opposite edge of the bed, head … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 104 – Caroline

    “Bon appetit!” I grin broadly as I set a steaming omelet on the table in front of Kat. I made sure to load it with all the good stuff; tomatoes, cheese, spinach, and ham. I even made a happy smiley face in ketchup on the top to make her smile.     I … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 103 – Andrei

    The sound of my racing steps echoes off the marble walls. My chest burns, and my eyes sting. Does he really think so little of me? He thinks I would be so stupid to give my power away to just anyone? I can't forget Mortecai's voice no matter how hard I try. I … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 102 – Kaitlyn

    Morning dawns. The Guardians gather in the crypt; Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Spirit. Time, Life, and the Fire and Time of the past observe from outside the circle. Mortals are forbidden; not only are they an annoying distraction, but I’m uncertain what this magic will entail. Kaede was quite upset. In addition is … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 101 – Selene

    I shut the door to my room with a soft click and spin around, screaming. I tried to hold my calm all the way back to the giant castle-like building that we all live in, but it’s bursting to come out. The power is too much, I just can’t hold it in, so … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 100 – Hitomi

    The cliffs on this side of the island tower high above us, taller than the towers of the Guild itself. Gulls and other birds seem to leap from the cliffs sides out into the ocean breeze, while other much larger looking shapes, obviously the resident dragons, circle high above like vultures. It’s a … Continue reading The Guild – Chapter 99 – Andrei
