Lionheart Ch. 6

A gentle shake roused Allura from the netherworld of sleep. Her eyes cracked open, bright reality replacing hazy images from already fading dreams. She squinted up at Nanny, then at the wooden serving tray she held. A shot of adrenaline kicked her pulse up a gear as she realized what they signified. “What time is it?” she asked, springing to a sitting position. The other woman set the tray on the nightstand and wiped her plump hands on her apron. “Mid-morning, but think nothing of it. You are hardly the only one who missed breakfast—even Captain Kogane was late. The battle took its toll on all of you.” That,

Lionheart Ch. 5

“Oh, Allura! Are you well, child? Were you injured?” She froze in the doorway to Castle Control, muscles tensed for violence as a large figure rushed her the moment the metal doors slid open. Her bared teeth brought the threat up short. A strangled sound squeaked from its throat. In the tense pause that followed, she blinked. Bit by bit, the lingering effects of the battle receded, and the round, ashen features of her would-be opponent took on familiarity. “Nanny,” Allura said, a chill sluicing down her spine. Altarus preserve them, she’d nearly attacked the woman who had been like a mother to her. She swallow

Lionheart Ch. 4

One of the most frequent questions Allura got from people was how it felt to fly Blue Lion. Every time, without fail, her tongue tripped over itself while trying to answer. How could she begin to describe the almost religious experience? The adrenaline that flooded her system when she leapt down the boarding chute in the castle’s control room dimmed in comparison to actually sitting in the pilot seat. She hadn’t the faintest idea what material it was made from, but her body sank into it like gel, fostering a sense of weightlessness. Her fingers trembled as she set the medallion-style key in its proper recess and then slipped her h

Lionheart Ch. 3

The morning sunlight streaming in through the windows did nothing to chase away the thoughts smothering Allura’s mind like storm clouds. Head down, lips pressed tight, and a worried furrow sharing her brow with her customary circlet, she might have been headed to her own execution instead of breakfast. An entire night of tossing and turning and she still couldn’t say whether she’d made the worst mistake of her life. Lotor had been sincere. That much her instincts confirmed. But sincerity was like a smile: a pretty gesture that could mask a variety of meanings. Stronger forces than just a change of heart had moved Lotor to v

The farther he got from her, the harder Lotor had to fight the urge to run right back. Pushing past his initial hesitation, he sprang onto the balustrade, twisted around, and leapt up to grab the rope that dangled above Allura’s balcony. Boots planted against the gleaming wall, he began to scale the side of the castle. After about twenty feet, he allowed himself to pause and glance down. Allura stood below, her hair shining like a patch of sunlight that had refused to depart with the arrival of night. Lotor felt his resolve start to corrode. A short drop and he could have her in his arms. Inhale the clean, sweet scent of her hair and s

Lionheart Ch. 1

“Dulath nakar. Farewell.” She paused, gazing sadly at her swiftly fading patient. “Dulath nakar,” she intoned. Taking a deep breath, she raised her scalpel, positioned it over her charge’s midsection, and made the first incision. “Baylarn. I am sorry, forgive me.” Tiny droplets of sweat started to bead her forehead. Not too deeply, she reminded herself. Cut to cure, not to kill. Her hand held steady as it guided the scalpel around a curve. Just a little more… “Baylarn. I am sorry, forgive me.” The soft female voice was a faint echo outside the realm of her concentration.

My Bio

Hey there, curious person. I'm Carly and I'm a [insert flattering adjective] person, although sometimes I can be [insert realistic-sounding flaw].

Although I doodle or make things here and there, I spend most of my creative energy on writing. The majority of my writing is fantasy with other influences blended in, usually with the theme of the universe as we know it coming to an end, and you'll find all sorts of creatures inhabiting my scribblings, including but not limited to vampires, merfolk, dragons, angels, mind worms, God and Its Shadow, Arcana, drug-dealing saints, and giant psychic squids.

Until I finally get something polished up enough to send to an editor, and then somehow trick said editor into giving me a publishing deal, I work at a shipyard installing fiberglass insulation. Long story.

I have two cats, one lover, and way too many stuffed animals.
