[nopast]

I think marrying him was a mistake.

How many times do I have to regret this?


[ Very real Sheifa thoughts sometime within her first year on Elicoor. She’s tired of the politics and the faking, and wonders if it’s worth it. Oh, and at this point she’s not formally married yet - happens when you’re a random girl from out of nowhere and your husband is the second most powerful man in the kingdom. ]

[aviances]

Need an ear to vent?

[nopast]

Hell yeah. Can I come over? I’ll bring the wine. Although that stuff you made back in Econtra was five-star, too.

[halvedheart]

I tried. With the Scourge, no less. I’d dug in the tip deep enough to draw blood, but then I heard Marc cry, and I couldn’t bring myself to plunge it all the way through.

I know, I can’t die. But for him, I must somehow find the will to survive.


[ In the months that followed Airyglyph’s destruction and Arzei’s death, having an infant son was really all that kept Nausy going. But, yes, she literally can’t die; she has a rune that keeps her from aging normally and helps her regenerate when she gets injured. ]

[cajuzinho]

It got that bad, huh?

[ He's not judging, but it is a bit of a surprise. ]

[halvedheart]

Everyone has a breaking point. That was mine.

I stood in the middle of the ruins of what had once been my home, destroyed by the army I knew was coming but was powerless to stand up to. I'd sent my family away, but there was one I couldn't save, and he lay dead at my feet, while I somehow still breathed and lived.

The plague that nearly killed my sister, the attack on my father that left him incapacitated, my mother's breakdown, my husband going crazy, all the lies and deceit and political intrigue that turned my twin brother into my enemy... and then that.

People think I'm strong. After all, I’m the general’s daughter, and the only queen who ever commanded a dragon.

But I'm not. Not always.


[ It's not something she's proud of. ]

[halvedheart]

Gods, I want to kiss you. Among other things.

and she said you’re not together like that

[audiofox]

Then what is the problem?

[halvedheart]

Isn’t it too... well, forward?

[ Yeah, like that has ever stopped you before, Nausy. ]

And he’s the Cajuzinho.

[ That hasn’t stopped you before, either. ]

[bondedroyalty]

It’s not my fault that I’m special!

I just want a brother. Why can’t he act like one? Kahlua’s special too, but Marc isn’t mean to her!

[bisectioned]

i always wanted a brother too
then i got one he's very nice

[ Cielo may be missing the point of the letter. ]

[bondedroyalty]

[ She is ADORABLE but spoiled little Macie just makes a face as she replies. ]

You’re lucky, Aunt Cielo.

Ramis isn’t nice. I think he hates me.

[sonofdawn]

I can summon fire.
I can make things explode.
I can make water out of nothing.
I can create a storm.
I can make things fly.
I can light up a dark room.
I can make plants grow.
I can start an earthquake.
I can conjure a shield.
And more.

BUT I CAN’T FRICKIN’ TELL ANYONE!

[covetouscat]

Why do you need to tell someone?

[sonofdawn]

I... dunno. Maybe because I’m not supposed to tell, so now I want to tell someone! Or maybe find out if there are others like me.

Are you also special, Aunt Shiraz?

[powerofchange]

All this power, yet nothing that can heal you.

[wateroflife]

Don't give up.

[powerofchange]

Can you save him? He means everything to me.

[khristalized]

Is it so wrong to want to save the world?

[unorthofox]

The logical answer would seem to be 'no'...

[dysconnected]

Some days I wish people were as easy to read as machines.

I’d rather deal with a glitchy code than a girly tantrum.

[namelessprince]

It must be hard to be in love with someone who loves someone else.

Love is complicated.

[estrangedheir]

My answer is no.

Kingdoms rise and fall; if yours must, then so be it. I will not throw away my men’s lives for a lost cause.


[ Have a Cade sometime during the first half of the novel. He’s back in Galenaea and assumed his father’s position in the army. ]

[ilda]

I’m sorry. But this is something I must do.

Whatever happens tomorrow... if I die, please don’t cry for me.


[ Novel!Ilda here as well, from the night she makes her life-changing decision to cheat her way into the Emergence. Sure, it’s just a beauty pageant. But it’s so rooted in religion that any imfraction against its holyness is punishable by death. ]

[cavalero]

It’s so easy to lose control.
