《Always There》7. Jem

"I'm going to help Ms. Stanley," Gem said when she returns. Mom was about to yell at her, but, Mom hesitated as Gem spoke.
"How can she reach you?"
"We have walkie talkies. One for her, and the other for me."
Very clever, I thought.
"How long will you be over there," Mom asked. "Besides, school is coming for you two."
"As soon as she's back on her feet."
"Sweetie, many can survive from stroke. Others don't." Mom might want to change those words. The conversation is now a mother-and-daughter fight.
"But, Mom, she'll be better."
"Think about it. Say if she won't, then you'll be there for nothing."
"No! I'll go there because I care."
"But..."
"Do you want Ms. Stanley to be well?"
"Yes, but..."
"Then, she does have a chance."
"Yes, but, look at the facts, Gem."
"The only fact I see is that you're willing to bet on a person's life!" Gem angrily storms off. Mom sighed and went to bed. I just sit back and watch what is next in this life.

The Echo Realms: Through the Stones
Gemma is a happy young woman with a simple life. As a jeweler's daughter, she doesn't want for much, and her sleepy town is well protected, verdant, and a great hub to meet strangers with interesting quests. But growing rumors of what's going on in the Tennison Manor just at the edge of town soon prove to be more than that, and in an instant, the peaceful world explodes. The mundane, including any hint of the human world, has vanished. Gemma's family and friends find themselves twisted into elves, dwarves, warforged, tieflings, orcs, and other creatures and beings previously thought to only populate fairy tales and children's stories. With sudden access to magic and new threats once restricted to imagination, Gemma is forced to confront her family's dangerous past to make sense of this new world. The Echo Realms is also a homebrew D&D 5th edition podcast set in the same world, but a different time. This is a submission for the Royal Road Magazine Contest.

Sands of Elstirr (Dropped)
"Bodies are built from dust, and as the sand and wind strip the flesh from our bones, to dust we shall return." - Grand Sage Ghod The poets claim that the sands of Elstirr are red from the blood of the countless innocents slain upon them. The mages say that the is a by product of the reaction of excess elements. And the Orks, the ancient and warlike people, the natives of Elstirr claim that the sands are red from the tears of blood wept by their god Gulgirra. But one truth is known, the sands are an eternal and unforgiving place. The true edge of civilisation, they ebb and flow like the tides of the great salt seas to the south.
