sing, your life depends on it.A soft, melodious voice drifted through the background of a small restaurant. The place was warmly lit in the blackness of the night. Snow fluttered down to earth silently and gathered in the panes of the window, creating small lacing patterns as it stuck. A quiet hum of conversation continued without end, as the varied patrons dined quietly.

The voice belonged to a slip of a girl, aging not more than 18. She had large, almond-shaped eyes lined in a smoky black, giving her gray eyes a stark appearance. Perched atop her wooden stool, softly stroking a guitar, she observed the audience with an unknown emotion hidden in her p sing, your life depends on it.

PowerEverything Nothing So nonconsequential I have to laugh
To be lifted so far From my common ground I have to wonder Is your power too great?
I see the sun And in the sun I see you Your spirit As firey, vibrant, and strong
The full moon In its cool reflection I see your wisdom Peaceful, soothing, and clear
I touch the earth And in her I see you Your character Wondrous, steady, and supportive
And yet I do not fear That you may use your power against me I am drawn to it & Power

Chapter Two - ConferenceShortly after his loyal teller-of-fortunes disappeared into the thick of the forest, the great beast snorted his satisfaction, great nostrils ushering moist summer air. The grass grew long and lush, curling and stroking his dinner-plate hooves in the fragrant wind. The meadows were in full bloom, breezes from the near seas blowing slow and cool through the manes of the spear-browed horses.
Still uneased by the trifling news from Collin, his dreamer, the ivory monarch shifted restlessly from hoof to hoof. A handsome black stallion with a swinging gait moved among the milling bodies, brow furrowed a Chapter Two - Conference

^{.Appriciation.

After only a short time here at dA, I've come to learn that the folks here are so kind and generous. Your comments are always so uplifting and inspire me to write more. I hope that I'll come to know you guys well, and through the story, you'll come to know me and my characters. I look forward to the journey ahead.

.Update.

I have now released the Prologue and the first chapter of my story. As of yet, it remains unnamed, but I hope to remedy that soon. The second chapter (shame on me) isn't done yet, but it is in the works and should be done soon.

However, there are some questions I have for you guys.

1. Does the chapter summary help? Does it clarify what happened?
2. Should I define complex words and phrases used in the chapter in the description?

.Clarification.

Just to be absoloutely clear, this story is NOT based on the firebringer trilogies or the like. I've only read one of the series (shame on me), and I hope the ideas of this story do not blend with it. From what I've read, the Firebringer books center around far-seeing, which this story does not. The first chapter does indeed involve a young, naive, skinny fortune teller, but that is a single character, which has special talents.

I hope you do not liken the story to Merideth Ann Pierce's wonderful books of Jan the unicorn, however like in species they are.

.To-do.

Now
Soon
Later
Eventually

No comments have been added yet? Well, I'll just have to fix that. Welcome to the DA! I suspect many people are very happy you've chosen to share your wonderful story with them, including me.
