One by one. Me, Lerac, Wynn, even Mitis. And then? Our families. Cjehu, Sykel, Jaera, Tiernan, Tors, Lerac’s family. If you die, he gets what he wants. If you die, TAAron, Malum wins. Don’t let that happen. Don’t let him win, because if he wins now, he will just keep winning. Until there’s nothing left but him.” She paused. “Don’t let me down like that.” "We'll all die anyway." TAAron's eyes locked on her. "And right now it feels like the benefit of my death outweighs the things I have to live for."

There’s nothing wrong, it’s fine, I’m fine. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Bye,” she choked. “If that’s how you feel.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see where this post goes. “I love you,” she choked. “You made my life so much better, so thanks for that. I thought… I was foolish. I thought you loved me too.” She took a shuddering breath. “Thanks. For… pretending.” Two tears escaped her eyes and ran down her cheeks. Quote Nope, guess she just missed it.

Ranryu she/her Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Wynn swirled her finger in the air, watching as Shadow materialized around it. It no longer felt like she was fighting to keep the Shadows under control. They were a part of her now, and she was a part of them. Blue and black glyphs were now emblazoned on her arms, a sign of her deal with the goddess. She mused, absently twirling the Shadow. She still had miles to go to get out of the labyrinth. Suddenly, an idea came to her. "Hmm... I wonder..." Wynn reached out through the Shadow, through the Shadow Realm and into another dimension. Yes! A pathway. This will do nicely. She sighed and let the Shadow carry her where she wanted to go. Quote She can arrive whenever everyone is online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was even in my school's book club, but I dropped out because stuff was going haywire and I didn't finish the book on time.
