It all came to down to this. All the bandits and necromancers, politics and pirates, leviathans and abominations. It led us here. My feathers are quaking. My heart is racing. A field of burning sand stretches out before us and at the end of it is the elemental. The primordial being of fire itself standsContinue reading “The True Ending: Nuray Solana”

Good Enough
I think each and every one of us can recall a point in time where we thought we weren’t good enough. Not good enough to win the game, score that job, defend a cause, write a novel, or any dream out there. We’ve probably all said it or thought it at least once in ourContinue reading “Good Enough”

My Johnny Depp Story
I always found it interesting how one life can make a big impact. It’s like adding or removing a character from a story. You can drastically change the outcome. When it comes to celebrities, they impact a lot of people–millions of people–and they don’t always meet those people. Yes. I’ve been following the Johnny Depp/AmberContinue reading “My Johnny Depp Story”

Wow! What a Word Count!

What a Word Count!”
