Excerpt from Divided

Here is a excerpt from Divided.
Written from Twilight's POV.

I wove through the maze of stalls and people that crowded the streets of Horizon. It was getting late so I slowly made my way to an inn.
The Flying Pig was noisy and full of people, the smell that reached my nose was far from pleasant. As I headed for the counter, I noticed a man in a uniform watching me.
"Excuse me," I said to the short lady behind the counter, “Do you have a room available?"
She looked up and noticing the man who was watching me replied, "Sorry, we're full. Please leave." She then quickly disappeared through a door.
Puzzled I headed out the front door. Outside a hand suddenly seized my arm, and a gruff voice demanded "Where are your papers?"
I whirled around and came face to face with the uniformed man from inside.
Staring into his face I demanded, "Let me go!" I tried to twist my arm free.
He tightened his grip and snarled, "Papers first."
"What papers? I don’t know what you’re talking about." I replied still trying to get free.
"No paper? Then you're coming with me, Missy." The guard growled. He dragged me toward a cart.
After removing a rope from inside it he tied my arms together "Get in." he commanded.
I had no choice but to listen. He climbed into the front and we drove off.

Guardians of Allura, A Short Story

It's been a while since I posted one of these, if you want to read the others  here and here . Willow was back in the garden again. The red roses and white lilies were arranged exactly as she remembered them. And in the centre of the garden was the huge oak, its leaves always red. Under the oak Alicia sat beside her on the bench. "Willow," Alicia said to the young girl, "Do you think you can keep a secret?" Willow shifted on the bench and looked up at her, "Sure." Alicia drew a necklace from her pack. She held it up for Willow to see. A simple round Obsidian stone hung from the silver chain. "This is a very special stone." Alicia explained as the stone twirled around though the air. "And I want you to look after it. But you must never show it to your Aunt or let her take it." Alicia dropped it into Willow's hand. "I won't." Willow replied staring at the stone. "Alicia!" Ashera's voice echo through th

Well, Hello Again!

Almost a year to the day since I wrote a "Return" post, I emerge from the mushy mud that is my part of Australia currently. I just want to ramble a bit about me, my blog, my art and my writing (not in that order, because - rambling over here) Blog-ness For years I wanted to blog and write, like all the amazing people whose blogs I read. But every time I sit down to write one of these post I can't help but think, Does anyone want to actually read this? I criticise my posts to the point where I just abandon them. But I am trying to learn to embrace the mess and try and see it as something beautiful, hence why a few years ago I wrote this at the top of my blog. Even with that there I never posted much here, I want to try and change that though. No, I won't be regular (I am NOT that kind of person) Yes, it'll still be chaotic and messy. But the point is we're gonna roll with it 😉 Me  Now me. I've changed my 'About' fairly often to try and keep up with
