This post has been in the drafts for quite a while. When I realized that the end of April is TOMORROW! I decided to throw together some snippets for you.
From various works-in-progress:
"As long as this world exists, there will always be a Light to fight the Darkness."
[penned by ME! (I really like this. Sounds like something Valtiramiir would say...)]
Until her father received the phone call. A call from the secure, cellular phone, used only in receiving a new mission and the time during that mission, after which it is disposed of and destroyed. Chess' heart sank, but she was careful to hide her disappointment.

“Mint Chocolate Chip on a cone, two
scoops – no more, no less – and have the scooper squish it all
the way down into the cone.”
[Chess]
“But come on, Chess. What are you
hiding? You have an academic level way above that of this school.
It seems at times you should be teaching. Every single test you're
given you breeze through as if it's nothing, and come up with a
perfect score. Is it even hard for you? I mean, do you even study?”
“Okay, okay, you got me. It turns
out I'm the nerdy girl, not the popular one,” she replied, forcing
a smile.
[Ben, Chess]
“You turned Jack Sparrow into a
parrot?” Chess grinned at him.
“That's not all I can do,” she
replied mysteriously...

They
faced West, where the early afternoon sun was only now beginning its
journey home. To the North lay the majority of the country –
villages, small towns, and the two castles of Charan's Council
elders, belonging to the lords Brépau
and Ponte, of which Safia's uncle Lord Damien made the third member.
If one traveled northwest, from their current position, they would
eventually come to the mountain castle of the Charian king and queen,
Turante and Mishelle, located on the country's largest mountain,
Bravor
Montan,
so called the Mountain of Valor, where the great battles of the Dead
Age were fought. The last 300 years has been known as the Âge
de Paisonie,
or the Age of Peace.
[Safia]
He
continued. “Her father died in her arms from wounds acquired in a
sea battle. Her adopted brother and the whole of her father's crew
were slain as well, making her the sole survivor. All she has known
for many years is now gone.
“But
she is a Rouseau, and she will be treated as one. Welcome her with
open arms.”
[Lord Damien, Safia]
“How do you say, 'Please
pass the ham,' in Norskan?” Aldric asked. The other boys gave him
a look.
“What?” Safia
laughed and replied.
“Bittë
vinma ad porti.”
“Whoa. It has a bold
sound,” remarked Payton. Safia chuckled.
“Yes. As does its
people. You have never known the word 'brave' until you have seen
the Skahmen of the North,” she added, with pride.
[Aldric, Payton, Logan, & Safia - in Safia]
