《The Cat's Eve》Interlude- Icarus
Advertisement
The wind blew around the boy's hair.
The air seemed to be vibrating, humming distinctly to the tune of ancient song.
But he was hardly paying attention to the music in the background. No, because he was soaring through the sky.
He leaped from cloud to cloud his movements causing the clouds to disperse as soon as he leaped from one to the next.
The energy was coursing throughout his entire body surging from the beating of his heart down to his legs giving his legs a light blue glow in the shape of wings around his feet.
He knew this was freedom, he was freedom, the wind, the air, and nothing could stop his flight.
With one giant leap, he soared through the sky reaching for the sun.
As he flew higher and higher into the sky, he wished his friends could enjoy this moment with him.
And with that thought, the song in the background stopped. The energy that was just a minute ago surging through his body was suddenly gone as if it never existed at all. The magical wings around his feet disappearing in an instant.
He began to plummet, the wind that seemed to love him a second ago now aggressively whipping him around, stealing the air from his lungs.
As he gasped for air tears formed in his eyes, the thought of his loss of freedom hurting him more than the fact that the water beneath him was getting closer and closer.

A boy sat upon a stump singing. His throat grew tired, so he stopped and decided to enjoy his surroundings before he began to sing again.
As the boy looked to his right, he noticed something falling from the sky.
A beautiful meteor falling through the sky lighting up its surroundings while itself was starting to dim. He watched it impact the open sea below and smiled.
Then he began to sing again.

The Featherlight Transmission
In the ancient desert metropolis of Wellspring City, magic is dead, and technology reigns supreme. Baulric Featherlight, one of thousands of street mages for hire, is summoned by the City Watch to assist with a particularly grisly murder - the deed was done by a rogue mage, and the fanatical Dynamic Brotherhood will have every arcanist in the city pay for it. The killer continues carving a line of death throughout all twenty sectors of the city, and anti-magic sentiment begins to rise. Will Featherlight's singular skills be enough to hunt down this elusive killer? Or will fear and old hatreds finally tear Wellspring City apart? (Cover art by the inestimable UncertaintyCrossing.

The Harrowbird's Crown
(Formerly: Tales of a Harrowed House) Synopsis: This is the tale of an exiled royal family who, after their bloody reunion on the island of Providence, return to a war-torn homeland where once more, powerful forces pit sibling against sibling in a bid for the crown — and once more, the magical streets of Auctor echo their infamous motto: “Fire will Reign as Harrowbirds Soar!” From his humble beginnings as a shoemaker’s son, his year spent as a daringly brazen orphan caught between rivaling Houses and a mad ghost, and his fight for the crown after his return to Auctor, Corbyn faces a coming-of-age story unlike any before him as he discovers magic and birthright are two things he never knew he had. From the intimate narrative of a childhood that was never her own, her year spent struggling to find the person she is rather than the person her family needs her to be, the secrets she hides, and the truths she finds, Halle discovers herself on the fabled island of Providence as her House collapses around her, bids to enter a legendary school of magic in her homeland of Auctor, and fights for a crown she never knew she wanted. A high-action, character-focused story written with a poet’s styling, The Harrowbird’s Crown is a tale that will transport readers into the conflict and conquest of a royal family back on the rise. General Information: This story is more traditionally plotted. While the beginning may seem to start out slowly, when shit hits the fan: the action is constant, the mysteries are satisfying, and the character development is rewarding. Chapters are usually between 2.5-3.5 thousand words (though some, like the first and second chapters, can run up to 5k words). When it’s long it means that the chapter will just have that much content in it. There’s Action, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy, and some Psychological undertakings. Romance hasn’t come up yet, but it may in future chapters. I try to have chapters out every Sunday at 7:00 CST Book One: The Ghost of Providence
