《This Is Everything I Didn't Say》The Muse

How can I not
fall for those eyes
that can see colors
through my monochromatic soul?
I wish I could
look through your eyes
one day
and figure out why
you love to
put me
in your canvass.
How can I not
long to touch the hands
that paints every part of me?
I wish I could
paint portraits
as good as you do
so that you can see
how colorful
you look
to me.
If someday, you'll start painting
some other girl's face,
then I shall always go back to the halls,
to those halls bounded by tall walls,
those tall walls that keep your paintings of me,
because in those forgotten paintings,
You onced loved me so.
"My dear, you forgot to put my scars in the picture."
"I didn't. I erased them away with my lips."

8 231Ehror, The Ascent
It’s the year 1647AR. The World of Ereath has survived dozens of millennia ever since the sudden arrival of the extradimensional energy known as Ehror. The ever present godlike beings known as Royals have be silent for the past fifty years causing panic within people in the know. Of course all of this is unknown to Sevyn and her companions who have recently escaped a facility created by The Red Sun. They have been experimented on turning them into Novas, being granted with a level of Ehror beyond that of an average user. They would explore this world to expose its secrets and to keep their freedom from being snatched away by their former makers. However there is something about Sevyn that draws her companions to her, a side of her that could lead to the destruction of this world. Posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hello everyone, Unfortunately this is discontinued as I writing a few things irl got in the way, and upon tryign to come back I realized that the story was nto quite going how I wanted to do anyway, so I went back to the drawing board and have started another story instead which I feel firs my original idea a lot better than this one does. It would be called Myriad Worlds Above.
8 203Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

This time, as the earth warmed around them, the Elves remained secluded from the world in their hidden Vales. They observed from afar life returning to the lands and took stock of man becoming the dominant ones as their numbers grew and spread.As the Elves watched they felt safe and secure in their Vale strongholds.
