《The Dragon’s Kin》Light in the Darkness
Advertisement
All I saw was darkness. I was in black room, without a single light. How did I get here? I couldn't recall. But where is 'here' anyway!?
I couldn't even tell how long I've been here anymore. All my plans failed.
In this darkness I was alone.
After a long time I was thinking if this is some kind or purgatory and if I am in one, why won't they hurry up!
'But seriously, if this continues, I will seriously go crazy... ' When I thought that, a heavy feeling enveloped me.
For the first time since coming here, I felt really tired. My eyes became so heavy, that I couldn't even open them.
Suddenly, a warm sensation could be felt all around my body. All I could think of was how nice and pleasant it was. There was only one problem...
'I still can't move...'
It was maybe few days since then, but I couldn't even stretch.
I tried to wiggle or turn myself around but all my efforts failed. Yes, I couldn't even wiggle myself like a worm. Just where in the hell am I!?
Asking myself the same question like hundred times, something changed.
'Wait, I can move my finger'
Fufufu, finally. It was the first time I was able to control part of my body since falling asleep.
'Aaaah...how long it has been since I felt this kind of accomplishment.'
I finally can move! Yay! I was seriously happy.
Ah, my small little fingers, they're starting to move. My beautiful little fingers, how I missed sense of touch.
'The sensation of touch after all this time' I almost cried.
Oh my sweet little fingers with claws...
Wait a minute?
'Claws?' My mind screamed. I don't remember having those! I started to panic.
But then, I heard something.

*crack*
'Just what was that now?'
The same noise was heard.
*crack* *crack*
Right when I heard it for the second time, something started shining on me. It was probably sunlight. Even though I couldn't open my eyes, I could feel it. When I was trying to wiggle my way out, it was then: It felt like something breaking under me, that whas the time when I fell out.
'Haaah!' I screamed as I hit something hard. But all that could be heard was sound of some kind of toy.
"Gyaa~!"
Yup, that toy sound was made by me...
After hitting something, the fresh air could be felt on my body. I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw almost gave me a heart attack!
Dark silver lizard was standing in front of me! No, it wasn't a simple lizard... Only one word came to my mind, Dragon!
At first I got startled, but when it gazed at me, I felt warm sensation inside my body. It felt just like when mother was watching her child.
My memory was still fuzzy, I could recall some of my memories of my old 'self' just like huge buildings growing into clouds, but no names, faces of people or where I lived. If I l couldn't recall them, then just who am I?
As I was wondering about these kind of things, the dragon moved closer to me. And then, it spoke!
"My child! My beloved daughter!"
From the atmosphere, I could tell 'it' was my parent. I could feel its positive energy surging from it towards me. She cried in happiness with some unknown language I didn't even heard before, yet I could understand it.
"Gya gya!" I tried to say something, but all that escaped my mouth were adorable toy noises.

"Don't try too hard to speak my daughter Tamariesha, you were just born."
Tamariesha? Is that my name? I could feel that the dragon thinks of me as its daughter... But wait, no no no, that can't be!
I tried to rub my eyes so I could better see but as I tried, small hands covered in darkish silver scales were in my view... A-am I a monster!?
Seeing me panic, the dragon tought I was trying to walk towards her so it started bending its neck towards me to help me. But I didn't wanted to stand, I wanted to run away!
"You were born just an hour ago and now you want to move? As expected of Silverscaled child!"
From its voice, you could feel gentle aura of parent trying to encourage its child.
Well, I still wanted to run away...

8 626The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence
8 115Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
