“Luria Solis Aestas ” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #92

I do not think I am allergic to the natural light; I know I am... which is quite ironic considering that I am the...albeit, reluctant heir to the Summer throne. It is a peculiar situation to be in I know, which is why I figured that I needed to write it down. I figure that if I physically write down my thoughts, then they would begin to make sense to me...and perhaps if I can start to properly explain my situation, then my parents will not be so hasty in their medical treatments. The truth is, there is a wayward...illogical genetic abnorm...

“More than meets the eye” by Sara Blanch

Call me whatever you want...selfish, childish..naive. Trust me, whatever creative combination of words you can come up with, my Mother has already called me then...probably in the last several months alone. Out of my three brothers and one older sister...I was apparently the 'chosen heir' of my father's power.  As Water elementals, specifically one of the major royal families of the water elementals...my family had been in charge of the health of the Pacific Ocean for millenia. In fact, ancient Sumerican tablets dating back over 8000 ye...

“Double Booked” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #83

Why my parents had insisted on my attendence at my sister's wedding I didn't know. Both my parents, my only sibling...and my sister's husbands family had made it perfectly clear that I was a disgrace to the 'Witch' name. I had barely any control over my elemental powers back when I had last spoken to them years ago, and I hated spell casting and potion studying...I had pretty much failed chemistry at school, which was unheard of for a 'witch'. Apparently, choosing not to embrace my abilities was a 'insult' to my heritage and therefore I...

“Contacts” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #82

I know I should have been excited about this opportunity...but all I feel is this nauesous mix of anguish and trepidation with the slightest flicker of guilt. Although I have been told numerous times by my parents, siblings, colleagues...and even the head of the Elvish court that I deserve this and that I am a hero to our nation, I cannot help but feel undeserving. So what that I was injured in combat? So what that the unnatural and barbaric weapons of the mortal world had injured another Elf? Hundreds of elves are injured everyday on t...

“Observe” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #82

Before I get into this my story, I want to make one thing clear...especially to the humans I worked with to develop their computer technologies. I may not be human but I am not Fae...as shocking as it may seem not all supernatural creatures are Fae. Those tree hugging, nature loving hippies wouldn't know what a computer was even if it fell into their laps.  I am from the Elxen race, a type of humanoid beings, yet we much more technologically advanced. Basically we are humans in a few hundred years, we even have a planet similar to ...

“Flower Girl” by Sara Blanch

Petra Freshly cleaned linen napkins along with a perfectly ironed tablecloth...check. Jasmine and Eucalyptus scented candles...check. Crystal chalices and freshly polished cutery...check. Althought it was cliche I know to have a first date at my family's restaurant, I couldn't get more than a couple of hours off work...and besides, there was a reason why my parents restaurant was the most famous vegetarian restaurant in all of Fae. Thankfully, this blind date that had been set up through mutual friends...seemed to understand crazy work sched...

“Alaria” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #81

I couldn't blame Alaria for the tension in our relationship as of late...she hadn't been born into the scandulous, overly dramatic world that was the Elvish Royal Courts. Whether it was land, political intrigue, petty arguements or meddling in the love lives of their unfortunate offspring...the ruling families certainly weren't the most easy to get along with. I had met her, the love of my life when we both had just barely reached adulthood. As was customary for the royal heirs, as soon as I reached maturity I was whisked away from the heavi...

“Mer Socks” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #80

As I sit here nervously awaiting my cue, I know I should be going over my palm cards...yet all I can do is ponder over the particular events of my life so far that had led me to this moment. I had only been in the Mer Kingdom for less than a month...a month that had done wonders for my physical health thanks to my true nature yet had been bordlerine disastrous for me emotionally and mentally.  Growing up on NSW's central coast, I had always had a passion for the water and the environment. In fact, I had spent most of my childhood in the...

“Shutting the portal” by Sara Blanch

I know I was only 80 in Fae years, which was the physical equivalent of an 8 year old in the human world...yet mentally and emotionally I was just as mature as any human adult. I knew the true weight of the event unfolding before me...I was fully aware of the true impact of the closing of the dimensional portal between the Human and Fae worlds...between the mortal plane and my homeland. I was sad to see it happen, yet I also wasn't surprised. The Fae had been in perfect harmony with their environment and with one another for millenia. A few ...

“Im not coming home” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #79

2000 years, 6 months and 2 days ago...that's the last time I had seen my parents, well my true mother at least. I had never asked to be a changeling, of course...that was the nature of changelings. 4000 years ago a light angel baby had been situated in the mortal world as a scientific experiment done by the Royal Scientific Insitute of the Light Angels...that light angel had grown up and realised her true origins through years of painstaking research, a fact that annoyed both my true mother and my adopted mother to no end.  I was the fi...

“Come Home” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #79

To say I was nervous was an understatement...a understatement so massive it was almost comical. When the elemental council had decided to divide the borders and seperate the regions based upon elemental ability...it was the most heartbreaking and devestating event that had affected the land of Elemenania in recorded history. To deal with the myriad of ego driven wars breaking out between the 4 elemental sectors, the government had done what they had thought was necessary at the time...like some sort of last ditch, desperate effort to bring p...

“Turbulent Twinning” by Sara Blanch

Submitted to Contest #79

I knew it was time to actually block myself off him Rael...yet this fact didn't actually make the act itself any easier. You see, angels always were born in pairs... it was widely believed that this was the universe's way of balancing our higher frequency energy, but I wasn't so sure about this. Sure...Rael and I had our differences, but we also had mutual affinities...like any other siblings. To be a perfect balance angelic twins would have to have been the polar opposites of one another on every level...yet this often wasn't the case, Rael...
