#AwesomeCharacters "Not plot pivotal" being the keyword 😅

Ashrah would write a scene where she can bathe in a lake without worrying about curses or monsters. She misses it, and even more so after she connects with her Mystic Arts.

Nitara... the poor thing đŸ§”

#WIPSnips 30. "Guard"

Ashrah doesn't approve of the Monkey Style.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

“I sense doubt in you.” It is just that not all Nether-Touched succumb to the temptations of the Abyss. “Oh, this one has, trust me. I can feel it irradiating in every metallic fibre of my being.” The Nether-Touched wrapped the chains of her sickle around a tree and swung across the clearing, kicking a marrkal in the face before falling onto her back and rolling away from another’s sting. Rather than retaliate while the demon had its guard open, the Nether-Touched sat on her haunches, knuckles against the ground, and hooted like marrkals themselves did. Losing what wits it had left to outrage, the marrkal flailed claws and tail at the Nether-Touched, who laughed as she dodged one impalement after another. Whether with illusions or with that outlandish way of moving, she never faced them head-on. Cowardice, too, was a sign of corruption.

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah can be patient, to an extent, when it's part of a strategy she designed. Otherwise, patience isn't among one of her many virtues, and we see this a lot through EF. We'll also this in HoF, as it's one of the reasons she struggles with đŸ§”

#WIPSnips 29. "Well"

Lots of "well" in the story, but only one true "Well."

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

She fell, but that didn’t stop her either: ignoring the pain of scraped knees and elbows, she scrambled to her feet, the tentacle squiggling in her grip, and kept running. As the Well of Lamentation came into view, relief gave her another push when A’zeena, Gvorran, and two other Nether-Touched she didn’t know came out of hiding, tools in hand, and though they hesitated upon seeing the pursuing wraiths and ksa’rra, A’zeena urged them forward to form a protective barrier. Unable to slow down, Sareena crashed against the Well, the tentacle flying from her hand and into the water. If she thought the River Isa’anr was dark, the
 substance inside the Well was the purest black. The tentacle didn’t sink so much as was swallowed with an audible glub that made her shiver and swear she’d never bathe in those waters again.

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah clearly sees herself as the incredible, talented, gorgeous, powerful, and wonderful warrior that she is, and if you disagree, it is obviously your perception of reality that is misguided!

#WIPSnips 28. "Prime"

Another day, another fightÂČ

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #NetherTouchedSareena #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Ashrah jumped to her feet and thrust. Lizkhy beat her wings, evading Datusha and slamming Sareena against a mass of solid ice. Disencumbered of the Nether-Touched, the balor sliced and flailed. Sareena avoided the dagger, but her low, misleading stance did not deceive the whip that etched a crimson, ragged gash on her cheek. Breathing a wall of fire between her and Sareena, Lizkhy whipped around to face her prime opponent, dagger flashing. Ashrah ducked under the short weapon, jabbed. Lizkhy drew aside and was forced to remain on the defensive as Datusha chased her in a series of slashes that hewed sparks out of the smaller blade until the balor stepped to the side and shouldered Ashrah. A blur from above. Ashrah eluded claws that set the freezing air on fire, then whirled as the wind cracked, flying above the whip, and as she came back down, she slid on the ice, avoiding the thorny ribbon again and slashing at Lizkhy’s unarmoured calf. “Aaaah, how I missed the taste of a balor’s alarun!” Datusha enthused.

Alhamad is kiiind of like this, even though it doesn't look like it from his rough exterior. Until he makes some very not-kind choices 😬

So... I'll give this to Johnny Cage. Why? Well... that I can't tell you, but trust me 🙂

#WIPSnips 27. “Delay”

Another day, another fight.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

She dug Datusha into the ground to steady herself, her mind racing with strategies to slay the casters before they could conjure another volley. But a series of barks echoed throughout the institute, and the pack of hellhounds did not delay in turning the corner, bolting towards her. “Fire!” Ashrah broke into a sprint towards the hellhounds, magic exploding behind her. Drool gushed out of the fiends’ mouths as they raced ever faster, black eyes dilated with hunger. The one running ahead of the group pounced, jaws wide open. With a whirl, Ashrah dodged the fiend and ripped the hound’s stomach open before swerving left into another street. “Don’t let it out of your sight!” The remaining hellhounds raised bloodied dust as they skidded and crashed into each other in their hurry to give chase.

#Septopolis 26. Ah, yes, this will be a long and not very cheerful one because Order is certainly upheld here... but is it a "civil servant system"? Absolutely not. As you probably guessed by now, law enforcement in Or̉el̉īs is

#WIPSnips 26. "Observe"

To be born without wings, what a tragedy...

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #BattlemageAskaly #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

Discovering the ongoing ritual, she slowed down to observe. As Askaly worked on her sketches, she stood and carefully approached the monk—not so that Sonya wouldn’t notice it, but to give her plenty of time to show her displeasure in case she didn’t want the company. Surprisingly, that didn’t happen. “So
 you didn’t get lost in the woods,” Askaly said. When no answer came, she tried again, “Found any big bad wolves?” Sonya frowned at her. “Are you seriously referencing Little Red Riding Hood?” “It was the first Earthrealm story ỏma told me
” Askaly shrugged. “I didn’t understand it.” “You didn’t understand it?” “It didn’t make sense to me why the girl would walk through the woods, or why her grandma would build a house in the woods in the first place. Then ỏma explained that humans are wingless, and I thought”—she laughed, unable to contain that note of bitterness—“what a strange species, to be born without wings.”

#SongsOfSeptember 25. Maybe not "traditionally uplifting," but this song. This performance. Unforgettable.

Someone commented, "I don't understand French, but I love the part where her pain turned into glory." That's it; the story of many characters in #ChroniclesOfTheRealms.

#WIPSnips 25. "Nation"

Where is this from? Who's the POV? No clue. But I like the idea of a short story or flashback chapter showing the beginning of the Union Council.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

“Let us all give a vigorous welcome to the leaders of the Great Nations!” Cheers, howls, roars, screeches, whistles, and clicks trembled through the Union Hall as the first of the dignitaries stepped through the curtains and into the light: SakhaÌ„rlan Shao and Imarrud zy'rsa Tyrzen, kahn and kahn-rum of the Tokanno̊r Empire of ÅsksĂŒll. The famed dragoneir wore a sleeveless, calf-length robe of a medium-tone, greyish-blue adorned with wavy and circular patterns in yellow brocade that complemented his brown and orange scales and mane. The Nether-Touched was dressed in a nearly identical garment but for the brighter colour and more tempestuous motifs, and on her feet she wore boots just as ornate. Following close behind, Empress Sindel and Emperor Gherǒd of the SuĂȘĂČng Dynasty in Edenia made their entrance. If coming behind her adversary afflicted her, the empress disguised it with the perfection one had come to expect from her, no flaw to be found in her courteous smile or gracious steps, under which lively flowers bloomed even though, far from their land, both rulers wore delicate shoes that continued the leaf-like decorations on their ankle-length split skirts.

#Septopolis 25. Or̉el̉īs is a beautiful, orderly prison. Think life here sucks and want to leave? Bad news, mate. You were born here, you'll live here your entire life unless you manage to escape. Alorvu may be seen as inferior, as not true citizens, yet they can't leave đŸ§”

#AwesomeCharacters Ashrah and Sareena would watch a lot of horror films across all subgenres! Haunted houses is something they'd enjoy exploring too... you know, I should write a short story based on this premise.

#WIPSnips 24. "Meddle"

Angry Ashrah is scary. Angry Ashrah with psychic magic is... something else 🙃

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #SayaAshrah #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

“What are you doing?! He’s—” Ashrah shoved the concubus to the ground and turned to the mortal, left arm raised. Smoke crumpled to his knees, hands reaching for his neck as he tried, in vain, to loosen the invisible rope around it. “You dare tell me what to do? You dare defy my will?” He reached out to her. Ashrah curled her fingers, squeezing tighter, denting the fragile skin around his throat. Choking, his face a deep shade of red, he would have fallen had Ashrah not upheld him with her mind and forced him not to lose sight of her as she delivered the punishment. “Nothing will keep me from my ascension. No Archdevil, no fiend, and least of all a meddling mortal!”
