《GemZ: Chronicles of Le'Tayah》1.1.2 - Falling
Advertisement
Hi Megimi stood at the aft deck of the Clock Ship, leaning on the railing as she looked down at the landscape speeding past well below them. It was making her feel a little queasy, so she looked at the horizon again, clearly able to see where the natural light made way for the artificial light.
She yawned and turned to go back into her luxurious room. A breeze ruffled her skirt and lifted it slightly. She giggled though, no one was here to see her, not even her father. He would not have approved of the short skirt, tight top, and open jacket she was currently sporting. If he had his way all she would be wearing are long flowing gowns with her hair done in tight buns on top of her head. It was so old fashioned, so… traditional.
She hated traditional. Mind you, wearing them every now and again still felt wonderful, and they were awfully expensive. And wearing them made getting out of them and into other clothes so much better.
She ran a hand through her hair, knocking the two loose strands down in front of her eyes again. She blew them back on top of her head.
I don’t really know why father insists on it so much, she contemplated, surely my hair looks better like this?
She had also enjoyed the way the others on the ship had looked at her. The older men, mostly men of station, blushed and looked away, or tutted to themselves. The younger ones could barely take their eyes from her. A few her age had even tried to talk to her. But she wasn’t interested.
She moved over to the lounge that was sitting between to the two large doors that led back into her room and flopped down onto it. Looking above she could see the sails strung taught by the flow of the Clock Line through them. The power for the ship was generated through the Clock Line, and that was what kept it sailing through the sky.

Suddenly the Clock Line flickered and went out. She stood and looked about. The Clock Line had simply vanished. The sails started to lose energy, and what was holding the ship in the sky was gone. Slowly it began to arc towards the ground, the momentum carrying it forward.
Megimi stumbled on the deck. She tried to push herself back up but she could suddenly feel herself being lifted from the deck. Or maybe it was the deck dropping away below her. The ship jerked as weight inside began to shift and suddenly she was thrown against the back railing.
Hi Megimi blacked out as the ship brought her plummeting to the ground.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
