“The Order of the Olive Branch: The Man at the Festive” by Onyx Stone

Ruby runs through the crowd thinking what went wrong. Ten minutes ago: she said bye to the rest of the group and walked into the nearby alley, checking the time: Thirty minutes early. It takes a lot to unnerve her, you do not because a veasty without guts, but in the last 24 hours she had nothing but a growing feeling of fear in the pit of her stomach. A last-minute job during one of the biggest events of the year to get a monster skull for a rare arcane stone. It was weird enough that the job was requested in person with no warning beforeha...

“Against All Odds: The Worst Birthday Ever” by Onyx Stone

Jade had woken up in her bed on her birthday nineteenth birthday to the smell of breakfast. She started her day like every other day before it: She fixed her hair, put on her clothes, and matched another day on her tally wall. Jade lived away from the world with the Grand Tree’s mages, priests, and scholars. The worst part is she never knew why; her parents avoided the question while the mages refused to tell her anything. She was here, in this temple in the middle of nowhere, every hour of every day; Jade felt like a prisoner. She left for ...

“The Path to Dreams: Chaos Storm” by Onyx Stone

On a bright sunny day on the Vicious Rosebay, the Moon Swallow Pirates plus Princess Willow of Diancam (and her pets Pip and Ssssssssal) are on their way to Diancam to stop a coup. Dark storm clouds begin to cover the sun blocking out any light. “Storms coming,” Cray shouts from the crow’s nest. “That can’t be right. It has been bright and sunny all day,” Ash looks at her barometer and then back at the clouds. “That makes no sense! Where did these clouds come from?” Willow steps out onto the deck. Her eyes go wide. “Oh no.” “What’s oh no...

“Roommates” by Onyx Stone

“Yo I’m home everyone,” I call out into my apartment as I walk in and turn on the lights. I drop my keys into the tray by the door, readjusting the file box in my hands so I can lock it. I walk forward and nearly trip on something on the floor catching myself before face-planting. I sigh, “Abby we talked about this.” “Sorry Kira,” answers Abby in a soft voice. “I just wanted to read.” I pick up the books and put them back on the shelf, “It is okay Abbs, but you know you can’t put them back up when you knock them down. If you want to read w...

“The Path to Dreams: No Going Back” by Onyx Stone

As Louisa watched the waves and ships below, she thought of the previous day: she had never felt freer than ever before. Why? She felt like her body was splitting apart because she was going against everything she stood and fought for. She had shot at a commander, defied a direct order, and helped enemies of the government. So why did she enjoy it? Why does she want to stay with them?“This seat is taken?” a metallic voice asked behind her. Louisa turned to see the one-handed robot mercenary, Jesse.She didn’t know why, but she answered, “No.”...

“The Devil Went Down to…” by Onyx Stone

Now Johnny was down on his luck, he had just lost his job, his wife was sick and expecting baby number four and five, the bank was trying to foreclose on his house, he could barely get food on the table let alone pay the hospital bills, and everything was falling apart. He had left on a walk alongside the dirt road leading out of town and straight to the old church on the outskirts, just to clear his mind, sing to himself, and come up with a pl...

“There is Always a Reason” by Onyx Stone

Dear Miss Rhiannon Estrada, It might be odd receiving a letter form a complete stranger, but I ended up with a copy of Tower and the Gate: the Sallow Rose by Lloyd F.P. Lamb that once belonged to you. Your notes were very instighful and done right funny if I do say. It had you address on the inside cover, so I contacted you wanting to ask about book recommendations. I always have trouble finding books I enjoy, it seem like a ten precent chance of me find a book will like and the rest of the time I pick out a book I can’t send. I enjoyed the...
