《Paint Me a Poetry》15: Luminous Affinity
Advertisement
Peaking beneath the draping curtains of heaven,
Are millions of minuscule stars that keep twinkling.
Walking within Earth's surface is string none have seen,
Connecting each and everyone with a strong feeling.
Stars dances in a silent rhythm embraced by darkness,
Giving off small light to slightly vanquish fear.
Bonds and laughter to a pack of people crease,
Strengthening the string that still aren't clear.
To the night the stars dutifully act as guide,
Paving way and giving light for people to go through.
Strong connection group everyone to people they abide,
Calling themselves friend erasing each other's blue.
The extravagant scenery drawn by star,
Calms the mind and soothes heart rage.
Friends shared memories carved beautiful scar,
Imprinting such emotion that decreases age.
Sometimes stars walk towards each other,
Seemingly interacting through blinking.
Friends radiated comfort to one another,
Not letting gloom to each heart start rising.
When the clouds to the sky throw a rally,
The stars are obscured with a faint cry in its back.
When friends connection is stained by sudden fury,
Rationality and comprehension will always crack.
Darkness will surely take the opportunity,
To envelope the world with its black feature.
The strings clutch will waver strongly,
Letting pride reach its highest measure.
The tears of heaven poured down without the stars presence,
It is longing for the small bright light.
With the broken string they will not admit their sins,
Even when a part of their heart does not feel right.
But the stars understand their significance,
So it will try with all its might to shine through the dark.
Eventually, someone must lower its pride and give chance,
For their friendship to bloom and start to spark.
With its bright light the star prevail,
Blinking sweetly in the night,
The string is back in its trail,
Stronger than ever after the fight.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
