Original sci-fi and fantasy stories for Teens and Adults
It has been 6 long months. 6 long months of violence. We have fought. Fought for our rights, fought for our ideals, fight for Vision itself. We have had to fight soldiers from the Eastern Empire as well as reactionary bent on preserving the tyrannical rule of the Aristocrats, rallied by the old leaders.
Fallen Kings is a sonnet that is loosely based on our struggles during the pandemic. This lament is to should let us step back and let us process it all.
I’ve decided to start giving updates on the weeks when I don’t publish an installment in my serial. These updates will all pertain to either writing or my life as a writer. I hope...
The citizens of the capital have finally done what they have threatened to do for a long while. They have begun to formally incite revolution. Encouraged by the Letters of Utopia and the formal stepping down from the office of Modern Genette, they have begun to desecrate the houses of public officials. Though there was one riot previously, it was not widespread enough, nor did it gather enough support to be considered the beginning of the revolution.
The presents have started to revolt. Many of the capital’s peasants have been angered over the government’s new decisions. Members of the military have also joined them. This means that they are armed and dangerous. After the revolution, the peasants who fought were allowed to keep their guns. This appears to have been an oversight.
Mordon Genette told us that “the council unanimously decided to rejoin the Eastern Empire. What they said was that famine was too great a threat to the people. However, what they meant was that it was too great a threat to their power. Lady Lila, who has been a part of the government was the one who said this. When she said it anyone there could see the cruel power flash in her eyes. Everything that she has done has been to further her own power. Her malicious intent was confirmed when she continued afterward saying ‘At least, that is what we must tell them. What is truly the danger is the fire of liberalism’ Everything lady Lila does is to increase her own power. ”
Important developments took place within the inner hall, our leaders and aristocrats meeting place. Mordon Genette, in an unprecedented act, left the council. At the steps of the inner hall, Mordon Genette stepped down from the council and said “I could not, in good conscience, be part of a government that actively defies its people. Our government, not our people, turned its back on Vision. So I have turned my back on them, the government. I only hope that I have not done it too late to be redeemed.”
Rushi was forced to flee her home at a young age. Though many years have passed she still longs for the home that she lost. She will go to any lengths to go back to what she percives to be the happiest time in her life, even confront the all powerful wizard king.
We have revived many short submissions from people who want to share their thoughts about, and their experiences with, the current revolution. Because of the influx, we have decided to reserve this post solely for those submissions. Also, most people wish to remain anonymous because of the charged political climate, and the questionable legality of the revolution. So far we have complied these submissions.
