The #WIPSnips word is "soup" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt #amquerying #TheShadowsClaim
We found a small eatery not far from the clothing store. We stopped because the sign above the door had made Sadie giggle. The place was called The Cozy Kraken, and the sign showed a comical Kraken lounging in a hot bath that looked suspiciously like a soup bowl.  

“Can we go there?” Sadie had asked, pointing at the sign with a grin. 

I couldn’t deny that smile. After everything she’d endured, after everything we’d endured, a silly kraken in a soup bath felt like exactly the kind of magic she deserved.

The #WIPSnips word is "handle" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
I was pulled from my thoughts by a warm hand covering mine. Opening my eyes, I found Araceli awake, watching me. Her hand holding mine. She looked worried which was the last thing I wanted. She already had too much to handle without dealing with my issues.  

“Go to sleep.” My voice was strained. She frowned and I wanted to kick myself.  

“I’ll sleep when you do,” she whispered just loud enough for me to hear.

Oops! I missed a day. 😜 The #WIPSnips word was "frontier" but I had to go with "woods" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
Moving through the dense forest, I kept my hand on the hilt of my sword, prepared for whatever warped game Zyler had planned. After the storm last night and the near-constant breeze over the last few days, the air here felt still and heavy, unnaturally calm. Ominously so.  

Aside from the calm, it was quiet. No animal sounds. No birds. No gentle rustle of leaves. The woods felt abandoned, as though every living creature had sensed the danger and fled long before I arrived. It felt like being in a void with only the sound of my breathing to keep me company.

The #WIPSnips word is “carrier” but I had to go with "messenger". #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt #WritingPrompts
“I have a letter for you.” Without waiting for me to respond, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope, holding it out to me. I recognized the handwriting immediately. It was the most beautiful calligraphy, elegant and practiced, a talent I’d commented on many times before. And today it said my name. The clearly expensive envelope was embossed with gold flowers around the edges, while my name was written boldly and with great care. By the way the messenger held it, I could tell the wax seal was in place and I could only assume the seal held the same insignia as the one on this man’s chest. 

A brave, confident woman would have taken the letter immediately and been on her way but I wavered for the briefest of moments. It felt like the envelope was a serpent ready to strike the moment I got closer. Yet, I also knew that by refusing the letter, I would be making a bad situation worse, and for the sake of my future, I knew I had to end it now before it was too late.

The #WIPSnips word is "box" I haven't finished editing this section so the text is clunky but you'll get the idea. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
K’oro touched her shoulder, drawing her eyes again. “And if anyone ever tries to hurt you, they will answer to me.”

For a moment Sadie stared at K’oro and finally she nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

When her eyes turned back to me, she looked so small, so vulnerable. I wished I could box her up somewhere safe where I could protect her from the world forever, the way no one ever protected me, but I also know that wasn’t reality. All I could do was offer her the truth and protect her to the best of my ability while still allowing her to breathe.

The #WIPSnips word is "thrill" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
The trek to the shore was short, and by the time I reached the water’s edge my fingers were already moving. Gods, it had been ages since I’d done this. Fishing had always been my quiet escape; the one place the world couldn’t touch me. 

But this time I got to share it and that thought sent a little thrill through me.

The #WIPSnips word is "thorn" but I really had to play the synonym game for this one and went with "annoyance" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
I laughed, probably too loud, but it was genuine. “You say that like you don’t spoil her every day.” 

He grinned without an ounce of shame. Damn him. I couldn’t argue when he looked so absolutely… breathtakingly handsome. “In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t like many people. I take care of those I do. It’s that simple.” 

Butterflies fluttered wildly in my stomach as I stared at him. Finally, I managed to nod instead of doing something crazy like kiss him. “Fine. You win,” I muttered with mock annoyance that he saw right through.  

His answering full smile sent the butterflies in my stomach swarming.

The #WIPSnips word is "coherent" Happy August!! 🌞 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #writingprompt
She grimaced and the pouty frown that crossed her face was so cute that it was hard to take seriously. “I hate medicine.”

I heard K’oro chuckle which made it extremely hard to keep a straight face. “I know, Baby, but being sick is worse, right?”

Her eyes met mine, Sadie looking thoroughly unconvinced. “… I guess.”

Oh my gods… I have no idea how I managed to hold back my laughter, but I did.

By the time she took her medicine with only a couple of complaints and one gag, Sadie’s eyes were already too heavy to keep open, so I pulled the covers around her, kissed her cheek and allowed her to nod off, despite how much I wanted to keep her awake and talking. The full day of being nearly incoherent had left me paranoid and overprotective.

The #WIPSnips word is "twist" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
By the time I got back to what had become our home these last few days, I wavered. I couldn’t go inside. I was afraid. Not of Araceli’s anger. Not even of her grief.  

I was afraid of losing her love.  

Because even if Araceli hadn’t said it out loud, I knew it was true. She loved me as much as I loved her. She was just too scared to admit it. Gods, I hated this so much. It was a cruel twist of fate, finally accepting the truth just in time to potentially lose it all.

I missed the #WIPSnips word for yesterday, so here is "relax" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WritingPrompt
After I said my goodnights, I found my room and finally allowed myself to get lost inside the long-awaited sea of blankets and furs covering my bed. I could bathe in the morning before setting out on the long journey to Stoneharrow. Just for tonight, I wanted to relax and let the fun of the evening, with Greta, the tavern, and the song, wash over me. Every worry in my head — real and imagined — danced in the corners of my mind, begging for attention. But just like the song, those worries could be put off until tomorrow. Tonight belonged only to me, and I tried to convince myself I was allowed to enjoy it.

The #WIPSnips word is "assist" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #writingprompt
Finally, the door creaked open, obnoxiously slow as if purposefully testing my patience. Even K’oro beside me, shifted his weight uncomfortably. Irritation radiating from him, his hand planted to his hip, six inches from his hilt, just like when we’d gone to the tavern.

“Be blessed by the goddess,” the incredibly young attendant offered as a welcome, stepping back to allow us in. “Please come in and tell me how we can assist you.”

The #WIPSnips is "defuse" but I don't have it so I went with "Calm" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I must have been staring for far too long because she finally squirmed slightly under my gaze and quickly said, “I-If this makes you uncomfortable, I can go put on something else if you’d like.” 

What?! No. That was absolutely not what I wanted at all! But my throat worked uselessly for a moment before I managed to force sound out. When I finally did, it might have been the most awkward moment of my life. 

“No!” The word burst from my mouth without reservation, making her jump. Shit! That wasn’t my intention. Calm down, K’oro. Get your shit together and then take a nap and get your head back on straight! 

“No,” I tried again, hoping I sounded calmer, but I wasn’t sure. My thoughts were all over the place and I hated it. Finally, I managed to spit out the most important thing. “Don’t change. You look… lovely.”

The #WIPSnips word is "lobby" which is not in my #WIP so I went with "entrance" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #writingprompt #amediting
I forced myself to stand. Each wave of energy washing over me with renewed fury, but 
then my magic was there too, answering it. I saw the aura of light surround my flesh, protecting 
me from the worst of the onslaught. 

My steps were slow but deliberate as I put one foot in front of the other, making my way 
to the shop entrance, towards the overwhelming energy, despite how every cell in my body 
begged for me to turn the other direction and run.

The #WIPSnips is "double" but since that word is not in my #WIP, I went with "twice" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #amwriting #writingprompt
When we finally made our way out of Breakwater Cove and into the woods, I felt like I could take a deep breath again. We weren’t in the clear. This wasn’t safety, but it was familiar and comfortable. I didn’t always understand towns and the people in them, but I knew the woods and the dangers that resided here. Creatures were a lot easier to understand than people.
I kept my head on a swivel, watching each path, looking between trees, stretching out all of my senses for anything that might be a danger to us. I was determined to not make the same mistake twice.

THE SHADOWS (WIP in 3rd Draft) #W #F #A #QuestPit A middle-aged shopkeeper & retired magical con artist takes one last job to save store & family. She could end the corrupt power of the Skyborn mages. She could end up losing herself, her magic & all she holds dear. Talk about a midlife crisis.
Moodboard for The Shadows WIP. Upper left: Illustration of a crowded, cramped city alley. Upper mid: Four black-clad people with face masks in a warehouse. Upper right: Shadowed cobblestone alley with someone at the mouth sweeping. Mid left. Two memes. "A niche character trope I like is the person who is nice, a good person and acts well-adjusted, then they do something where it's like oh you're secretly a little bit insane actually. Middle: A shadowed portrait of a woman with sparks coming out of her hands. Mid right: A meme: Original poster: "80% exhaustion 10% sarcasm %20 don't care" Reply poster: "that's 110 percent". OP: "20% of me doesn't care." RP: "should've seen that coming." Bottom left: Warmly lit storefront doorway on a cobblestone street. Bottom mid: Painting of fancy buildings on islands floating well above the ground. Bottom right: Cramped thrift store with shopkeeper.The Shadows: The Pitch

The worst day of Ania’s life was when her beloved cousin Piren was dragged off to the floating towers of the Above to serve as a source to the Skyborn mages. The second worst day was when he was returned. Discarded. Drained of his magic and broken in spirit.

Ania left behind her rebellious past to support her cousin as he once 
supported her. In a city where any display of magic makes you a target 
of the Skyborn, keeping your head down and your magic a secret, taking care of your friends, your family and your neighborhood is the only safe way to survive. 

But now, everything she’s built over twenty years of safe, carefully
constructed life is falling apart. To recover what she’s lost, Ania takes on one last dangerous heist that strikes at the heart of the Skyborn’s power. She may end up losing herself. She may just bring the entire system crashing down.The Shadows: Comp Titles
MA Carrick: Mask of Mirrors. Con artist MC out to save her family (and maybe the world).
Shannon Chakraborty: Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi. I'm retired. Really. Okay, fine, one last job.
Robert Jackson Bennett: Foundryside. Magical technology, a corrupt ruling class and problematic heists.
Fonda Lee: Last Contract of Isako. I'm too old for this shit but no one else can do it.“Except you can help me without bringing the bluejackets and their hunters down on my head!” Ania yelled, throwing her arms in the air. “All I’m asking you for is money. You’re asking me to risk my life! My family’s life!” She glared at him, grinding out her words through clenched teeth. “You want me to dust off magic I haven’t used in twenty years! How is that fair?” She spat the last word.
“It’s not fair!” Verasi spat back at her. “None of this is fair!” He flung a hand out. “Our people, our friends and family, our neighbors, are ripped from their homes in the middle of the night. They’re enslaved, ridden so hard they break. Maybe it takes a year. Maybe it takes five. Maybe it only takes a couple of months.” He continued in a harsh whisper. “We live in constant fear that it’ll be one of us. If not one of us, someone we know. Someone we love. Their propaganda machine is turning our own people against us. You know they’re not even testing people to see if they have any magical talent now? They’re just rounding people up at random and carting them off Above. None of them come home, not the same way they left.”
