End of Book One

Whew!
World of Itad: Book One is now finished!

I hope you enjoyed it. I know I switched things up quite a bit during the writing. I enjoyed it though! I am now working on the second book. Soon I will begin posting chapters and information on that. I'm also working on a character database that should help to keep track of everyone I introduce in book two. Hope you guys stick with me and that I will be able to update more than I was able with book one.


~Thanks for reading and book two - chapter 1 will be posted soon as I can~

Book 1 - Chapter 19 - Awake or Asleep?

November 7th 1,000




Night lay heavy on the land. Tink sighed, her arms already aching. She clung to Mila's shoulders, trying to keep her from hitting the stone floor. Aza held her legs.
"There's no way this is going to work,"
Dill whispered. He peeked around the sharp corner of the long hall.
"There are three guards ahead of us and who knows how many more to come. We only have two weapons between us all."
 Mari glared at him. In her open palm was a small puddle of water.
"Four."
Wisp crouched beside Tink. The stones felt cold to his unshod feet.
"What are we going to do now? There could be hundreds of soldiers once we get outside, if we get that far."
 She glanced at him. Her eyes full. Lashes wet.
"We have to try,"
 she murmured.

Book 1 - Chapter 18 - The Plan

November 7th 1,000

 Night had fallen over the prison cell an hour earlier. At the same time Mila had been returned from her tenth round of  'questions' as the soldiers called it. Orange sat beside her. In the dim light of the few candles his face  betrayed the feelings. His eyes were turned down, lips pressed together.
"She's real bad off,"
 he said. The others looked down on the them both. Wisp winced. It felt so final, now that it was said aloud. Somehow worse than he thinking it to himself.
