Brief Author Bio: I'm a 22-year-old with a Forensic Science degree! Doesn't mean I have a job yet, but it's looking promising. Other than that, my passions are perfume and reading (and writing). This year, I may combine all three with a perfume-based-character-creation-process. Other than that, I write all the time either in my LJ community, different WriMos, or NaNo, which I've done and won thrice. Feel free to drop a line. |

Synopsis: Obscura
The land of Majosia strives to survive after the Mist consumed the castle of elves, A'hileol. Raithea Rhuieme, a guard who witnessed the destruction as a child, was sent away to a remote holding after her vow to never return to the Barren City. But when a mysterious stranger asking to be taken to the heart of A'hileol proves the expansion of the Mist, she accepts the position as his guide out of obligation to those she cares for. However, when her charge gets her falsely arrested and tied up with Zac Ndin, the subhead of Timber Clan from the south, she begins to regret her trip - even more so when the source of the Mist is revealed and its venomous tendrils slither further from its source. Now her journey has shifted from a simple delivery to a quest to stop Majosia from eroding away.
Excerpt: Obscura
He pulled the hood up over her head. “I know you don’t know me, but I am giving my word to you about one thing. I will change the world. The Mist won’t be the threat it is today in the future. Please, if you can trust me, and pledge your loyalty, I can do great things.”
Lightning struck, echoing in the space between them. The same blue as the eyes stared at her from the clouds above. She stepped back and knelt before him, one knee in the mud. “I give you my word that I will see you through this insanity.” Touching the center of her forehead, she brought her fingers down to her lips, and then to her heart. “I swear to let no harm come to you that I can prevent. I swear to follow you through your journey and the hardships that may arise. If I must give my life for yours, it shall be done.”
She titled her head back, letting the rain hit her bare skin before he stepped forward, blocking her from the rain. “Then you shall have my confidence. Make haste and pack. We must leave before nightfall.”
