《Matters of the Heart》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Terra skipped down the cobblestone road, feeling light on her feet. She was smiling, practically giddy with joy. She felt as though she could just spread wings and take flight at any second.
"Clear a path!" she shouted shamelessly, diving through a crowd of people. "Beautiful day, isn't it?" she shouted back at them.
"Watch where you're going!" one shouted back.
"Don't worry, I won't!" she replied. She reached the outer gates and greeted the guards overenthusiastically, "Hello, my fine fellows, how are you doing? How's your family? Oh, never mind, I don't care! I'm so happy!"
She continued down the path, seeing as she did so that she wasn't the only one with the same idea in mind. A few courtiers ventured out onto the outer path, stopping every so often to squint into the distance. Terra smiled to herself. She knew exactly what they were looking at. She was looking at it too. The distant carriage making its way closer to the castle with each passing second. But she wasn't going to wait for it to come to her.
Breaking out of her leisurely pace into a sprint, she tore down the cobblestone road at surprising speed, her boots striking the path hard with each bounding stride. Her deep red cloak spread out behind her like a banner in the wind as she streaked toward her oncoming target. As she neared it, she felt a nervous burst of energy, spurring her the last short distance until she reached the carriage. Hardly slowing, she grabbed onto the seat of the unsuspecting driver and swung herself through the open doorframe of the carriage, landing with a muffled thump on the seat next to the passenger. The man jumped visibly.
"What are you doing?" he snapped, "Trying to give me a heart attack?"

His voice was much deeper, the lines of his face more accentuated than Terra remembered. But it was him alright.
Terra propped her feet up against the seat opposite her, grinning, "What kind of a greeting is that? No 'hello, nice to see you again'?"
The man sitting next to her smiled, "That's funny. I seem to remember you being the shy, quiet one." The smile spread, showing his pointed teeth. "Terra," he said.
Finally, after a century of waiting, he had returned.
"Jareth."

Rolling Stone [Monster Evolution LitRPG]
War rages across the mountainside, glittering phalanxes of mail-clad dwarves fight back unending waves of goblin warriors while dark forces creep through the shadows, taking advantage of the chaos. None of that matters to Stone. He's a simple pebble, newly awakened and curious about the strange world he finds himself in. He doesn't know the first thing about the unending conflict that engulfs him or the grand machinations of fate that have left their imprint on his very soul. Why would a rock care about any of that? It isn't nearly as much fun as leveling up. After all, he might be a pebble, but that won't stop him from rolling toward his destiny, alongside his unfortunately stuck partner.

8 203Trench
/ Somwhere in the world of gesia where magic spells and the fire of guns are a daily commodity on the frontlines/ ZoOm..BoOm ZoOm..BoOm ZoOm..BoOM Fuck that one was close, I turn left looking for my squad mate in the trench, and immediately I turn away tears in my eyes, dead, definitely dead there is no way he survived that, one of the shrapnel shards of the artillery shell got him dead in the eye, I hear the sound of blood gushing, out like a water fountain but much more disturbing. I try to vomit but after we got separated from the supply line for more than 6 days after the attack of a squadron of dragons there wasn’t much left for me to eat, so the only thing that was coming out of my mouth was the sound of emptiness I want to go home...I want to see my family..I..I... ZoOm…BoOm I flinch, I could swear the Artillery shells are getting more precise after every second, I try to grab my gun without looking at the corpse of my squad mate, the moment my fingertips grace the cold steel of my weapon I feel something wet, I shudder knowing what it was. I close my eyes and stand up my hand around my gun, planning to never let it go. I try to rub the blood of my hands on my already dirty pants and after that i climb out and run faster than i ever did before... ...Ziiiiiip...splash.... / the Cover art belongs to the kikstarter campaign of Interbellum RPG /

A collection of my Reddit's Writing Prompts replies. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Others will get expanded. Some are simple, especially my early ones. Many of the later submissions are a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story, but I will carry over the existing ideas if the prompt inspires something. Though I hope that some will become more than a simple prompt submission. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Moved over to Royal Roads as the UI is superior for naviation and enjoyment.
