《In the Afternoon》The Pleasure of Spontaneity
Advertisement
You stood at the top of the empty ballroom's staircase.
Silent.
Motionless.
Then all of the sudden, you lifted up the hem of your skirt,
pulling off your heels and leaving them on top of the steps.
You charged down the stairs,
entering the large empty room,
and pulling back the curtains covering the window,
letting the sun shine into the room and fill the room with warmth.
Next, you cracked open a window,
letting the cool air replace the stale dusty air amidst the ballroom.
Now, you began to twirl barefoot,
your bare feet pounding into the marble floor,
creating a rhythm.
There was no band playing music for you to dance to.
Nothing but the sound of the wind whistling through the crack in the window,
and your feet pounding into the ground.
The skirts of your dress rippled around you in a river of sparkling silk,
and your hair gradually became undone.
It fell down in relaxed ringlets to your waist,
and the rays of sunlight lit up the blond highlights of your hazel hair
as the wind picked it up and tousled it.
I find myself captivated by your presence,
and how you light up the room,
and I step forward, peering into the ballroom for a closer look.
When you catch my eye,
you stop mid step,
stumbling forward with the sudden change of movement.
You look into my eyes as if searching for my reaction,
and I answer it by stepping onto the top stair,
taking off my shoes and running down the steps.
You laugh as I grab your hands and spin around with you,
a noise that lives on forever in my subconscious.
It was soft.
Sweet.
Angelic.
A welcome noise,
that I promised myself I would try to hear more often.

13th Soul- Book 1 The God Slayer
13th Soul In the beginning, there was nothing but darkness. Through someone's hands that all changed and the universe began. Fate was going as planned and the first twelve souls of the universe were given their paths to be followed and set free into the universe. Before the other normal souls could be set free as well something or someone interfered. A soul different from all the rest was set free. It was a soul free from fate and free from anyone's plans. This little soul was The Thirteenth Soul. Book 1 The God Slayer In a young world in the young universe, there was the Lemuria kingdom. On one day the first princess was born but had lifeless eyes and was not breathing. Her parents were about to give up when she started to breathe again. This is the story of a little soul that took its first journey as Eva Lemuria The God Slayer. Hi everyone I am an amateur writer who's been reading multiple stories on RoyalRoad for awhile now. My story is something I've thought of for awhile now so I've finally decided to actually put my ideas down. I'm fully open to constructive criticism. Grammar is not my best point so go easy on me there.
8 120Warrior's Oath
What did the past forget and what had history remembered? Witness the memorable stories of three ancient warriors from distant lands: Norway, Japan and France. Connected by fate spinning webs that tie to many other kingdoms, controlled by a god lurking in the shadows. An 11th-century tale of truths and lies, the misdeeds of humans. A viking from the north guilty of sins swore an oath to live. A samurai from the east hungry for revenge swore an oath to kill. A knight from the west desiring strength swore an oath to protect. Answer me this, not as a feeble mortal but a disciple of war whose fame is immortal. Are you brave enough to swear the warrior’s oath? Edit: I do not own the cover, weekly updates on Tuesday and Saturday

8 163Heroes: Book III
Without any warning we were there, staring at the dark and pain of the world. I could sense it all. All the black matter consuming humanity. But for some odd reason I wasn't afraid. He just laced his fingers with mine and looked at me in a way that made it all okay. And then we ran into the shadows. ...because I guess that's just what heroes do.
