Swords, Secrets and Trust CH. 8 It was the night of Lana’s birthday ball and Crista and John were getting ready. “We have 5 hours before it even starts, Crista. Why are you getting ready so early?” John asked from the other side of the door. Crista buttoned up the princely blue, black, and silver lined party wear she was given over her bound chest. “Because if I wait to get read when Lana is wandering around looking for me it could cause problems.” Crista responded finally being fully dressed. “You can come in now.” John opened the door and after being given permission to enter the young knight’s quarters a
Swords, Secrets, and Trust Ch. 3 Crista wasted no time leaving the town of Estaia and hiding herself from the eyes of others in the thick leaves of the forest just beyond the town's border. Despite the hardship in front of her, Crista loved being able to drop her guard and relax on her way to Ora. It was not often that the king would send her off on private quests like this and each time she got the opportunity she'd take it just to get some time where she wouldn't have to worry about keeping up her charade. Once she was certain that no one could hear or see her from inside the deep forest, she let her feminine voice o
Swords, Secrets, and Trust Ch. 4 It was long past midnight and it was dark. Crista was still unconscious on the path outside of the cave. Her horse came around the corner of the path and over to his rider's side. It bent its head down and nudged Crista with its noes. Crista groaned and woke from her unconsciousness. As she lifted herself from the ground, she winced in pain from her bruises and her shoulder. She managed to move herself into a seated position leaning against the side of the mountain and looked gratefully to her horse when she used the reins for support as got to her feet. Just then she remembered that she had left her sword inside the cave an
Retrieve Whats Lost Ch. 3 "I can't believe she slapped me. And she acted like she didn't even know me." Jim said holding an icepack to his face. Josh was sitting on his bed in the room they had rented out for the week in red Josh's (that's what we are going to call him) family's inn. Josh was wracking his brain with every possible answer he could come up with, but one kept sticking out. Even though it had been a couple hours since Sarah slapped him, Jim could still feel the sting. "I can tell just by how much this hurts that she's a lot stronger than she used to be." Jim pointed out to Josh as he sat down on his own bed. Josh sighed and said
Retrieve Whats Lost Ch.2 Jim took the locket from Josh as he climbed out of the lake. Jim was filled with anticipation, but was also worried that the memories had been destroyed while sitting in the lake. He tried to force open the locket that held the memories that Sarah had recorded 2 long months ago, but as much as he tried the latch had rusted shut. Despite this, Jim continued to struggle with the lock, but to no avail. Josh said "It won't work. It's so badly rusted that you'd have to take it in to a jeweler to have it fixed. Don't worry; the recordings should still be in tact." Jim quit his struggle and simply held the precious charm
Retrieve Whats Lost CH.1 Joshua, if you recall, came in and told Jim some news about their friend Sarah who was supposedly dead. She had been located beyond the black hole which turned out to be a worm hole. . At this point, Jim is not sure whether his friend is spouting nonsense or if he was dreaming. "What?!" Jim responded not knowing how to feel. "Look! Read the letter!" Joshua said handing it to him. Jim took the letter and began reading. The letter read Mr. Jim Hawkins and Mr. Joshua Cain, We noticed that you have been declining all of our requests to join a ship, but we suspect that you will not decline our following o
Adventures at the Academy Ch12 "What?! Are you serious this time?!" Josh said, having waited to hear this. "Yep, I did promise I'd tell you eventually. So gather your story time goodies, cause it's time to reveal the secret of my first time flying." Sarah said. Jim and Josh grabbed a bowl and sat down across from her. "Okay, it was about 2 years ago I think. My father was a captain and he had brought back a birthday present for me; a solar surfer. It was smaller than the one we have here, but it was just as fast, and like I am now I was just as off balanced." She started. "I was extremely excited to fly for the first time! A
Adventures at the Academy Ch11 The night after Sarah had left to scout the planet, there was a storm. Jim and Joshua had huddled down in their tent and even then they could tell it was bad outside. They hoped that Sarah had found some form of shelter or had made it back without their noticing. The next morning, Jim and Joshua came out and didn't see Sarah or the solar surfer. Josh reassured Jim that she would be back before sun down. During their wait, they set up a fire pit and got some logs set up aroun
Adventures at the Academy Ch10 Jim, Sarah, and Josh were wandering about the ship that was piloted by Captain Amelia, and watched their classmates be let off onto their tiny planets where they would live for a week. They hand a small celebration as they saw Tristan leave the boat, and hoped that somehow he would get eaten by some wild animal during his stay. With his skills, which were almost none, it wasn't impossible. While Sarah was recording more images on her locket, she noticed that they were approaching their planet. "Guys we're here!" she called them to starboard and they rushed over. They admired the small planet that would be their tempora
Adventures at the Academy Ch 9 It was the last 9 days of their time at the academy, (Time flies am I right? We're only in the 9th chapter XD) and it was time for the final test of the year. Don't go and think this is an ordinary pencil & paper test CAUSE IT ISN'T!!! All of the students were gathered in the hall and all of the teachers were in the front of them; ready to give them their final test. "Students, the staff would like to congratulate you all on making it this far. Now it's time to see which of you will be graduating this year and which of you will be staying for another year." said the principal. "It's time for your survival test! You
Adventures at the Academy Ch 8 After Joshua's fight with Tristan, Sarah was able to help with lowering the swelling of his bruises. Sarah also used the old steak trick to make his black eye not look so purple. She was surprised to hear that Tristan would do something like that to Jim and Joshua just because he was threatened by them. But then she took it back considering it was Tristan. During his healing, Joshua, Jim, & Sarah got the chance to talk a little more. Joshua lived on a planet that was almost completely covered in water with only 5 large islands, before moving to the planet Tristan lived on 3 years ago. Jim told them a little bit abou
Adventures at the Academy CH 7 Their classes were finished for today, and Jim and Joshua were planning on getting some sleep before they had detention with Tristan. Josh flopped down on the bed and was close to falling asleep when he heard a sound of surprise come from Jim. He sat up and saw Jim searching around the room frantically for something."Where is it!?" Jim said to himself in panic."What did you lose, Jim?" Joshua said."The picture!""What?!" "I don't know where it is! I normally keep it right under the lamp on the bedside table!" "Calm down, Jim! Look no one else has the key to this room except us. I'm sure you just misplaced it. W
