writers think they’re in control until a side character kicks the door down like “guess what bitch i’m emotionally compelling”

THE LIGHTLESS PATH | NYICK & EUNA

Song yet in reverse you are all my symmetry a parallel I would lay my life on so if your wings won't find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone

Daughter of Shadow and Sun | Rourke & Ava

“You belong to me,” he hissed. “I created you from the Darkness, Ava, as my own. You belong to the Fallen, here in the shadows, destined to destroy Arylide and rule all. That was your purpose – that is why I brought you back!”

“Evening, council of apprentices.” Rory strolled up at the same time and held the tavern door open for them. “You three have any idea what this dinner’s about?” “The magic that fuels the core of the earth is dying,” Zuri said. Rory froze. “…Really?” Zuri walked inside. “No.”

don't tell the others, but Zuri is my favorite

"Don't tell me that I didn't try. I asked you not to leave me; I begged you to come back to me. For months. Us being apart for as long as we have was your decision, not mine. The only decision I got to make was to respect yours. And, even then, I didn't have a choice."

The Lightsworn Saga

"Where there is Darkness, there is always Light. You, my dear, are made of both." - Daughter of Shadow and Sun "You are not a Lightsworn, Aira - you are the Lightsworn. Power courses through your veins, it's in your very blood." - The Lightless Path

The dialogue is kind of spoilers, but I don't mind sharing. I haven't really written anything for TLS in a while and I can feel myself gearing up to starting again.

So I guess these are just some things I wanted to make to keep my brain in a creative mood! Characters are Ava and Aira, and I promise I will finish their story someday.

It's been a while since I've written anything new for TLP but I've been working on edits of what I have, so here's a little something.

“I didn’t think it was possible to sneak up on you,” he said. If he was still angry with her, he was doing well to hide it. And if there was one thing she had quickly learned about him, it was that his eyes could never conceal his annoyance. With one last glance up the staircase, Aira decided to step away and stalk back into the middle of the room. “Well, maybe you’re stealthier than I gave you credit for. Are you following me?” But Nyick snorted. “The others can believe what they want about you, but I know you, thief. I’m not about to let you roam around this place unsupervised.” She rolled her eyes. “Lucky me.”

Open tag as always!

OC Vibes

Tagged by @mrbexwrites, thank you! Passing the tag on to @space-writes and @missvalerietanner, and open tag to everyone else.

The rules: Post a picture of your OC and then 4 random (or whatever number you'd like) photos with no explanation that conveys their vibe.

Art of my main girl, Aira, from The Lightless Path was done by the talented @pocket-size-super-villain.

first and last lines tag

tagged by @space-writes, thank you! I'm late to a lot of these but here is the first line of my book, followed by the last line I've written so far.

From The Lightless Path:

First line

Her fingers burned with warm embers where the fire had been conjured only moments ago, the flames dancing, spiralling as they hurtled towards their target - and missed.

Last line

"Everything she gave you is a gift.” There was an edge of conviction in his voice now. “You are not burdened by her memory, Nyick. You have the privilege of carrying it with you for the rest of your life. Grieving is difficult. But you do not find a way to move on from it. The key is to find a way to move with it.”

All my life, I gladly burned for all the things I believed in. I would set myself on fire, and I would die on this hill. I used to think I was immovable. But not anymore. There’s no beauty in the breakdown. Strength does not rise from the ashes. There’s no hope to be found in a one-sided fight. The flames no longer aid me. I do not wish to melt  inside a fire that’s gone cold. My bones do not find refuge from a battle never won. And not because I wanted to win. But because I should never have fought to begin with. There’s no romance in burning. There’s no sacrifice to be made out of my skin. I’m tired of dying.
