“The Dragon's Covenant” by Ajene Amenti

Submitted to Contest #256

Kite’s speckled dragon snorted and scratched at the ground. He patted the beast's head and traced a finger along a deep scar on its forehead. His own scar began to sting, and he pulled on his reins instinctively. He noticed the other dragon riders eyeing him and nodded in response. They ignored his gesture and continued their conversation.Kite cleared his throat. “Where do your dragons come from, Night-Baron?”Coral burst into laughter. “Yeah, Night-Baron. Tell us!”“It's Night-Heron!” He said. “Petulant child riding a dragon ten times her siz...

“The Devil You Know” by Ajene Amenti

“Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.” A girl's nasal voice spoke through the small portal in the confession booth. The priest was familiar with the voice because he had heard it moments prior when asked about confession times. He waited for the small voice to continue. When he heard no sound, he gave a slight cough. “Umm… Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was two weeks ago. My mom asked if I was nice to my sister’s boyfriend today and I said yes but lied. I can’t stand Ryan because he cheated on her at the homecoming dan...

“Chronos Ex Machina” by Ajene Amenti

Submitted to Contest #236

"You don't do this unless you have the strength of spirit, boy!" The captain slurred his words and stank of rum, but that wasn't enough for me to turn back. Truthfully, I had tried to leave but the thought of seeing my father again held me in a vice-grip. If I left now the entire journey would be all for nothing. This was his last request, after all. I look around and see the surrounding men staring into the crevasse, waiting anxiously and eager to start. "I've paid you the deposit." I replied. "The rest of the blueprints will be paid on...

Author bio

I live an intentional and magical life and am blessed to have spent time with amazing people who inspire me. As a writer, I distill the wisdom learned throughout experiencing life into stories. Every character is a reflection of the experience itself and everyone who was involved enough to make it happen. Fantasy and sci-fi fiction are my favorites to read and write, but it's also good to read and write more fantasy and sci-fi... All jokes aside, I love a good fantasy and sci-fi. I'm big on surrendering to the process of life and being a student of it. I never learn well when I decide to make an enemy out of something I don't understand. Or even if I do understand it, for that matter. Recently I've noticed that people enjoy hearing the things I write. I used to think people were just being nice, but imposter syndrome had me denying my ability as a writer. I'm learning to write more engaging and complex stories, but also keeping the simplicity of wisdom throughout it. I write to move the reader. That's why I am a writer. I hope to inspire anyone who comes across my writings and one day I plan to spread these stories to a wider audience. It's my hope and my dream to know and experience life as an author. Peace and many blessings to you!
