OW: ASA - CH 123 - To Claim A Name

A/N: I know I'll still not put up Friday's ABH chapter, but I've been consumed with editing A Shade of Dawn (which I'm only up to CH 115 on so RIP me, I needed it done like a week ago but alas life is never so easy). I'll aim to get it up Wednesday with the next OW chapter.

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Three

Fall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 7

Fall of Autumn, Week 5, Day 7

“Lady Eunora Dawn, of the Ancestral County of Dawn, the Fourth Light of Dawn.”

The announcement was delivered drolly, with a dry tone. Madame Griselda hardly seemed interested in the events at all—though I knew the truth. This, much like my cordiality, was a test. A test of matching her attitude. I wanted to sigh, to do as I wanted. To be free. Inste...

After breakfast, we headed into town—the lot of us. Juniper, Sylvie, Sir Neil, Dame Arella, Klein, and Arlen. Gristle had claimed he wanted to join, but he had other duties, and Sir Limrick had frowned and said, ‘I wish. I’m still settling in and have to lead the Dusk services in the barracks.’ 

Does that mean that there is a church on t...

“She didn’t even greet me!” Edwin Horus, the young Lord of Viscount Horus’ house, hissed to Leanna Rosea, the young Lady of Count Rosea’s house. 

Beside him, she nodded seriously. “Or me.”

Juliette Mithra and Paul Starling, of a Baron and Baronet’s house, respectively, clung to ...

There were boards of all different shapes and sizes and angles, scissors of varying metal qualities —from steel to gold to pink to blue to black. There were even purple sets. There were several other tools meant for marking, and cutting, and arranging. From the different metal pins, to the different qua...

ABH - CH 44 - For A Star To Fall

A/N: I actually don't know if I'll keep this chapter as is. I'm happy with it, but also feel like it could be drawn out some more. Let me know. When I edit it at the end of book 2 I may change it.

She didn’t stalk forward; she didn’t dive in headfirst. No, Freddie watched from the edge of the torch glow, looking for what gave the Starlight Goblin its name.

Blonde curls fell around a woman’s face as she glared her violet eyes toward her subject.

The world shifted, and I was in an empty, eternal sunrise. Pinks, oranges, and purples streaked a clouded sky, and the world was reflected across the water at my feet. 

Before me was a table and a golden System notice levitating about it.

Between what had once been two barrels of water, there was a crack-like opening in the stone wall. The passage the opening created was narrow, so small it was as if it wasn’t meant to be found. Freddie’s shoulders touched the edges of the opening, and he...

Leaving the sitting room, I headed down to dinner. Madame Griselda had given me quite a bit to think about in general. It reminded me of what I’d thought of just a week ago. 

Am I selfish?

The answer was, of course, yes. I wanted what I wanted, and I wanted it on my terms. I hardly considered others in my decisions outside of worrying about th...

There was no chime. That was the first thing Freddie noticed. The dungeon was odd—not every room had chimed, after all. And, at the moment, she was too confused to really care.
