Introduction

It's been a while so I figured I should update this.

You can call me Em, writeblr who is absolutely terrible at writing about herself. I love getting lost in fantasy worlds, and when I write them, they’re usually in a modern fantasy setting, full of too many characters, and way too many comma splices that I’m not getting rid of.

Awakening: Knights Of Eternity

Four immortal warriors, created to protect the world from dangers both magical and human, awaken in a world beyond anything they ever imagined.

Magic is dead, and technology has risen in its place, so was it random chance that roused them from their slumber, or is there a purpose for them in this strange world after all?

Part I now complete.

Reckoning: Knights Of Eternity

After an impossible loss leaves the Knights shattered, and while they may approach gods in their power, they are still very much human in their desire for vengeance.

They spent thousands of years eradicating magic, but now someone threatens to revive what they have banished. The world is on the brink of a change they should be guiding it through, if only the three remaining Knights can reconcile their grief with their new existence.

Last

My Tumblr-exclusive story about a young woman’s survival during the last days of humanity on Earth.

In the distant future, Amaia is the last of her people, desperately trying to live in a world ravaged by alien monsters when the planet has been stripped of technology (find links under the cut).

LAST: Chapter 29

Amaia wanted to scream, to cry, to explode, to die. Every day was spent agonizing over what tomorrow would bring, because it was always more anguish to weigh her down. The moments of respite were nothing but lies, false promises that she was strong enough to live in a world made only to inflict torment.

She wished she could shut out the fear swallowing her heart and leaving her chest cold and empty. If the future were to somehow reveal itself to her, she’d be able to plan, to prepare for the misery coming with its claws out to get her. But even in a just world such a thing wasn’t possible, so what choice did she have?

No choice. Worse than no choice. She couldn’t survive in the world on its terms, so all that was left was mere existence, until she finally surrendered to its eternal indifference. Life was a game she did not know how to play, and there were no winners.

Chapter 28

To the west was scrubland, empty except for rocks and a few bushes valiantly giving their best effort in the dry and barren soil. South was better, the bushes green with a few trees in the distance. Amaia’s stomach lowed like an animal, demanding she get her ass moving. When she swallowed, she tasted blood.

She eyed the flyer. It hovered through the air in widening circles, and if it came around again, it would be close enough for the Absconders inside to spot the small figure moving along the ground. The chasm looming beside her, she hurried along as fast as she dared. It was likely—it was probable—other entrances lurked underneath the grass, waiting until she got close to leap under her and swallow her whole.

Get it together!

Chapter 27

Amaia inhaled sharply to scream and promptly bit down on her tongue before it came out, not because it would attract monsters, but because if she started, she’d never be able to stop. Her chances of coming out of this alive had vanished to almost nothing. She could not afford to erase the last sliver of a chance she had left.

She backed into the wall and gritty flakes showered down on her. The stone wasn’t cool to the touch or damp, and put her in mind of the dead bee’s nest Yan found years ago. The purpose she didn’t know, but perhaps it was where the monsters kept their hatchlings.

The faint rush of air hadn’t changed since she’d been down here, and the fact that her guts were still on the inside meant this place had been abandoned. Their nesting behavior was speculated in stories, some saying they were more akin to snakes that buried their clutch and left, their job done. If that were true, there would be stories about someone, somewhere spotting an unguarded nest. No, the monsters were like birds who hovered over their nests, perhaps alongside other parents.

Then why was this place empty?

LAST: Chapter 26

There wasn’t enough time to suck in a breath to scream before Amaia slammed into the ground and the wind was knocked out of her. Rocks jabbed into her chin, left forearm, and both knees, and heat rushed to the area to bleed out. Pain sang up and she laid with one arm thrown over her head, trying not to move and send more thunderbolts shooting through. She lifted her head and white sparks shot across infinite black.

Am I dreaming again?

Then: No, hurts too much.

LAST: Chapter 25

The land had been getting steadily greener, but outside of the occasional puddle that hadn’t evaporated, water only appeared during the morning rains. Amaia held up her water skins to catch as much as she could, but they were always empty by midday and she found herself chewing on grass to draw whatever moisture she could.

At the next rise, water glinted through the brush and she rubbed her eyes to make sure it was real, and when she looked again, she thought she’d lost it. Then the white sparks blinded her and she couldn’t help it, she broke out into a run. Fresh water, fish, lots of reeds and tubers she’d be able to roast over a fire. The bushes parted, and she dropped her bag, preparing to jump in. Maybe she should check to see how rocky the ground was, but to be able to wash off the cloud of stink sticking to her…

As the water sparkled tantalizingly close, her foot came down on something slimy that splattered under her weight. She skidded and flailed her arms to keep from taking a header on the rocky shore.
