The First Trio- How Marrena joined the Mythicals (Part 1)

"Woah... the wildlife here is amazing, Saryn!" Zinah picked a flower off the mountain. "These plants had to adapt to the cold in order to get the rich nutrients under the snow. Amazing!"
Saryn smiled. "Yes, it is. Now, remember, we’re exploring, yes, but keep an eye out for distress. It can be anywhere."
"Okidoki!" Zinah picked up a little ferret. "But isn’t this cute?"
"I guess." Saryn hiked up the cliff. Noticing a shadow in the distance, she focused on it with binoculars.
A red flag.
"Zinah!" Saryn yelled over her shoulder. "A red flag! Distress signal! Come on!"
Zinah shot up. "Got it!"
She air-bent herself while Saryn flew her bird-like mount to the flag. Once they landed, they both let out a gasp.
"My gods..." Saryn covered her mouth.
Crumpled on the ground were hundreds of hunters. Blood stained the snow a dark red. One man was leaning against the flag, blood dripping out of his wounds.
"That man." Saryn pointed in his direction. "He’s still bleeding. He’s still alive. Get your first aid, Zinah."
"Got it," Zinah pulled it out of her bag and rushed over to him.
Saryn inspected the rest of the hunters. She checked all their pulses. They were all dead. Bowing her head and kneeling in respect, Saryn thought to herself, By the great gods, who could’ve done this? These hunters were heavily armed, and they had the training badges of Elites. Barely anyone can beat one, let alone hundreds of them!
She walked over to Zinah and the one survivor. Zinah was calming him as she bandaged his wounds. "It’s ok, sir. I’m the Elemental, and Saryn here is my bodyguard. You’ll be ok."
"We’ll avenge your comrades." Saryn nodded in respect. "Who attacked you?"
"I don’t know, ma'am." He stuttered weakly. "It was just a blur. But I did catch sight of claws, fangs, a tail and raging mad eyes. I don’t know what its intentions were. But it wiped out me and my mates."
Zinah looked at Saryn.
"Where did it go?" Saryn asked.
The hunter pointed to a thin trail of blood leading away. "Right before it could kill me, I shot it. Follow the trail, find it."
"Shouldn’t we stay with you until you’re a little more healed?" Zinah asked.
"No need," he smiled. "I’ve taken worse. Go ahead and fight it. Good luck. You’ll need it."
Saryn started following the trail. "Come on, Zinah."
Zinah followed, leaving the man a thermos of hot water and a mug.

Lady in the Mirror chapter 2

“Humour.” Ella tilts her head. She found and brought a chair the second time we meet, and I’m using the swivel  chair from Typical Dad Base 7. “Explain.” “It’s a concept.” I lean back and grin. “It’s like… Gods, I can’t explain it. It’s taking something and making it funny. Play on words. Those are called puns.” “Define ‘funny’.” “Humorous.” I lean forward, pushing my elbows on my knees. She gives me an innocent look that looks like 'And?’ “Humourous means ‘with humour.’.” “So its all going full circle?” “You could say that, yeah.” I shrug. She clapped her hands together. “Tell me a joke.” “Ok.” I lean back again. “Past, present and future walk into a bar. It was tense.” She blinks a few times like she did during my first joke. Then her eyes sparkle. She smiles. And laughs. I smile. I’ve always been a joker, but that was one of my lesser jokes. Ella really is special. Then it hits me. Carah. I’m still in a relationship with Carah. My face goes slack. ...

A.N. (Author's Note) n2

Ok. I know my latest one was recent, but hear me out. So first things first- I just got a laptop, so I'll definitely be more active. Personally, I think I write better curled up in bed and on a keyboard than on my desktop or my tablet. Secondly, I'm thinking of starting an RP blog. Not a great idea, but I'm working on it. Maybe it'd be just straight fantasy centred. Ok... story updates! The Mental Link Part 4 is just out ! Really excited. Now to wait 5 months before writing the next part! 😝 Interrogation See first A.N. (scroll down for the link) The First Trio See above The Lady in the Mirror Ok, so part 3 is still... in the works. I've been having big problems lately with author's block, sadly. Don't expect much. SNEAK PEEK- Stories coming out soon? The Guild Series Forget it. Inter-Dimensional Heroes I'm still trying to wrangle the co-creators. Fifteen No, not a story about teen angst. I'll see if I have the courage to post i...

The First Trio- How Marrena joined the Mythicals (Part 2)

After a long two kilometres of walking, Zinah started to complain. "Why can’t I just air- or earth-bend myself there?" "The wind would send the trail flying," Saryn said simply. "And the earth thing would mess it up too." "But how far can this thing walk while shot and after a fight?" Zinah asked again, only to be shushed by Saryn. The trail entered a cave. Firelight came out of it, casting deep, scary shadows out in the snow. "Are you sure we should go in?" Zinah asked, scared. "We’ll be fine." Saryn pulled out an arrow and nocked it into her bow. Zinah gulped but slunk forward with her bodyguard. Saryn fired the arrow. A scream filled the cavern. "That was... not that monstrous," Saryn said, tilting her head. "Maybe..." She was cut off by a tan blur jumping on her and knocking her down. Zinah let out a scream, but Saryn stayed calm, pulling out her sword and slicing her enemy. The thing slowed, ...
