Sand Swept Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Malken "I don't see why you think we can protect you," Malken told the orb. He sat on his bed within his master's tower. The orb had gone silent, and had remained that way for the trip across the desert. He sat back with a sigh, leaning his back against the bed frame, "You could at least say thank you," Malken muttered, "We did just save your life, your highness." The midnight coloration the orb had taken on swirled slowly, patiently, within the glossy sphere. They were the same exact color as the apprentices eyes, the boy had taken it as a sign of good faith toward him, but now…the silence was unsettling. "We can't hel

Sand Swept Chapter 1

Gossip filled the air inside the large dining hall. Nobles from all over the Burning Dunes zone sat and spoke over fancy dishes and wine. In the corner, in charge of supplying the entertainment sat a young man about seventeen. His dirty tattered brown clothes and quick glances made him noticeably lower class. If that wasn't enough, a numerical patch on his right sleeve just below the shoulder showed him for what he really was, a servant. He picked at a guitar as he tried to avoid the glances thrown his way. I don't see why I'm here. Nefarion knows I hate nobles. He sung softly to himself in the much noble-hated Dirtspeak, the language

Sand Swept Prologue

"Treasures!" A merchant howled as crowds passed his small stand, "Brought from the mysterious Wild Lands!" This bit of information caught the attention of an elderly man and his apprentice. His dark eyes roved slowly over the merchandise spread across the dusty table top. Old grimy objects did nothing to impress him. He was nearly ready to turn away when the man finished unloading his last object. "Malken!" "Sir?" His apprentice nearly ran into him as he turned away from the pretty young girl waving at him from the florist's stand. He was still a young man, almost five years into his apprenticeship. Long black hair was pulled into a b

Falling Skies Part 11

SAM Sam sat against one of the remaining walls of his decimated home. The burn left on his chest was a hot red color and throbbed painfully, bringing more tears to his already wet eyes. His arms were wrapped around his knees, his face hidden behind them. His thin shoulder's hitched with the low sobs that escaped between his teeth. Felice sat beside her companion. She silently shared his grief, bonded closer to the boy than anyone could possibly imagine. Patiently and sympathetically, she watched over him. He's gone, and I'm all alone. The thought repeated itself in Sam's mind. Burning more painfully than the wound on his chest. Cold

Falling Skies Part 10

MARKUS Markus sat in the back of the second SUV. He stayed silent as he thought of hundreds of ways to make the vehicle wreck and escape. The black sack they had put over his head didn't improve his mood. They had slipped it on and handcuffed him as soon as the soles of his shoes had touched American soil. The sound of doors opening with a pneumatic hiss reached his ears. He focused his mind as his uncle had taught him. He formed a mental picture of the mechanism that swung the doors open and close. His mind hunted the mechanism and began following the small cables and various transmissions from the computers in the system. He found t

Falling Skies Part 9

KITTY He looks just as nervous as everyone feels, Kitty thought as she watched the Pendragon deliver his hesitant speech. The crowd cheered and applauded as the boy stepped down to get away. They converged on him like hungry sharks, slapping his back and repeating various reassurances that were heartier than they felt. He has no clue as to what he is doing. No one does. Kitty sighed as she stood up, dropping her cat form. The Mongrel began to steadily tail the boy through the crowd, keeping at the least two people between them at all times. She followed him through the throng of people, pushing and using a well placed elbow to several s

Falling Skies Part 8

SAM Fifteen year old Samuel Pendragon II stared out across the crowd of shocked, scared survivors. And he had no idea what he was supposed to say to them. The young wizard swallowed nervously as he approached the makeshift podium. He knew it was his duty as Pendragon, and protector, to say something, but what? To convince these people that he had a plan and everything would be okay soon? To lie? He had an idea of what happened, but none of the people were supposed to know about Alistair's cubes, a mixture of magic and machinery, to keep them safe. He also had no plan to tell

Falling Skies Part 7

MARKUS Markus leaned back into the seat. The black SUV rolled almost lazily through the streets of Dublin on its way to the airport. The two men on either side of him were dressed in the same green and black suits, and both held rifles. He thought it was funny that they bothered with guns at all. There was a far more likely chance that they would shoot themselves than him if it came to a fight. He frowned as he stared out of the window. The city was bright and the sidewalks were full of people. He kind of liked Dublin, but preferred Murmansk, where he had spent his childhood. Snowboarding when it wasn't too cold, and staying with fam

KITTY Kitty felt a heavy pressure that came and went on her chest. This was followed by the horrible sensation of being kissed by a really hairy guy. Oh hell no…Her brilliant green eyes snapped open in time to see the dwarf coming closer with lips parted for another round of resuscitation. Through the heavy beard Kitty couldn't tell if it was male or female, and it didn't really matter to her in the first place. A cat-like growl escaped from her lips as she lashed out with a fist. It connected with the dwarf's gut, and the medic let out an ooff in response. Kitty

Falling Skies Part 5

SAM Utopia drifted slowly, very slowly through the water of the Pacific Ocean. The magic coursing through the three cubes had made the water recede and eventually faded. Dimming to a low glow, like a dying candle cast upon a world full of numb, shocked people that milled about on the streets trying to piece together what happened. The Utopian Police Force scrambled about, gathering volunteers to sift through the rubble and find survivors and the dead alike. It was the only sense of law upon the entire continent who were dominated by an anarchy, with so many species, choosing a leader became difficult, and so they led themselves through

Wow, it has been a while.  The last time I wrote anything on here I was 18, now I'm 22 and honestly not quite as good at writing as I once was. However, after my initial small success with Sandswept, I began to come up with a new idea.  Something I've been thinking on for all of those years.  I think now is as good a time as any to try it out.  It is called Project Nightlocke and follows a more superhero-esque approach than the sword and sorcery of Sandswept (Though there is plenty of that to come within it!)   I don't know if anyone still watches this channel, and honestly I can't promise quick updates or even good ones.  It is simply somet

Hello everyone who bothers to read this. I have stopped uploading anything to DeviantART (If you haven't noticed my absence in the past...oh, year?)   I'm sorry about this, things are just really hectic in my personal and school life.  Thank you so much for all the favs, watches, and comments.   I really appreciated it, and I promise if I ever start writing again, seriously, I'll share it with you if you want. Sincerely, Rebecca Shy/Panthershade

Vandrel

0 min read

I've started a new project due to the amount of time I didn't know I'd have. The Vandrellian Chronicles. It will be a series of short stories.  The first I've completely finished and am uploading weekly on here.  It is called Vandrel:The Beast Below.  I will release a part of it every Monday. The main characters are Samuel Pendragon the II (Utopian Wizard, on the run.)  Markus Flynn (Engineer-Technopath, able to control and manipulate technology with his mind.  Cyborg.)  and Harriett Sleever (She's new.  Made her up specifically for this story. Normal girl with a tough exterior that ends up getting caught up in the wake of choas Sam brings
