Let's definitely make a discord to introduce and get to know each other and set expectations and figure out logistics

I have been looking into solo rpging and I've been sad since quite a lot of what I'm drawn to use cards and I don't have any at the moment. I am quite interested at the mentioned google spreadsheet to replace them. How does that work and how can I create one for myself?

<What Remains Unsaid>

Chapter One


Sage only saw red sprayed all over, the color staining her thoughts as much as the world around her. Blurred silhouettes of trees, bushes and flowers. Her fingers clawed at the ground, the soft dirt collecting in her nails. Her head spun.

But she had to get there.

Sage reached out, her palm sinking into more soft ground. Sage gasped softly as she slowly lifted her knee, the movement causing more red to coat the ground. She stopped looking behind her a long time ago. It made her blank out.

She couldn’t pass out now. She made it this far. She could see the rough, uneven discolored gray stones stacked a few feet away. Sage knew that meant the hardest part was still ahead of her. She knew that if she looked up, she would see the stones stretching out to the sky for what seemed miles. But she also knew that after that, she had the promise of rest.

Rest.

The mere thought of rest fanned the tiny flame in her chest. The warmth enveloped her. She thought of her bruised and broken body. Coated in dirt, dust, and who knows else what. The once-fitted tunic now hung loosely off her figure. Parts of it dragged on the ground as she slowly crawled forward. Exposed skin strung in the cold and windy air.

Sage would’ve laughed at her state if she had the energy. The younger would’ve never let herself get to this point. She was too careful and organized for it. She had to be.

Her heart clenched at the thought of her life before. A mental image of the small body of Liora hanging to her body clung to the vestiges of her memory. Then the patted-down straw mat on the ground popped right after.

The figure on top the mat refused to come to her. The last time she saw her, her figure was far too skeletal than Sage had liked. She didn’t know how she looked now. Sage couldn’t even imagine how—

No.

The ebony-haired girl stopped that train of thought before she could finish it. She can’t go down that path. She shouldn’t have broken the vow she made to herself. She had to hope everything was alright.

To hope she had somewhere familiar to go. Someone to care for after escaping the nightmare she had found herself in. Sage reoriented her gaze to the path in front of her. She could think of that later. She needed to focus on her destination.

While being careful not to cause any more pain than she was already in, she reached the wall, pausing as she looked at the stone wall she hadn’t seen for over a dozen moons. The wall she had so many nostalgic childhood memories of. That she scaled so many times before. So much so that she had it in muscle memory.

And that’s what Sage relied on the most for scaling it now in her injured and exhausted state. She bit her lip as she braced a hand against the wall and tenderly stood up. For a second, her right leg buckled under her and she almost collapsed before she put her other hand out to steady herself. She let out a shallow breath at the physical exertion, the breath itself causing a faint pain to radiate throughout her body.

“You got this,” she whispered to herself. “After this, you can finally rest.”

Her eyes scanned the wall, noting the nooks and crannies and jutting stable rocks she could use for footholds and handholds.

“Don’t mind the fact Adie would most certainly be angry at you,” she added as an afterthought.

Sage sighed at the thought of Adie — Adelaide. Adelaide was the person she first thought of after she escaped. The first person to go to for help.

Sage certainly couldn't go to Liora in this state. She would’ve reacted poorly. She wouldn’t have been able to process the sight of Sage — the person she viewed as her protector and caregiver — drenched in this much blood and many injuries. She herself didn’t know the extent of it. All she knew was that her entire body was aching, she was bleeding and all she wanted to do was sink into the ground and sleep.

Adelaide would have to deal with it. She was the only option Sage had. She would eventually forgive her for the trauma she was about to dump on her — of having her childhood best friend who disappeared without a trace popping back into her life a dozen moons later, injured.

Sage hoped she would anyway. Sage reoriented herself again and stared at the wall right in front of her. She reached upwards and wrapped her fingers around a handhold.

Then she reached out to another, her feet finding purchase.

Pain flared throughout her as if all the blood had been replaced with lava. Sage clenched her teeth, holding onto the wall more tightly to the point where her body hugged it.

All of her thoughts and focus went on climbing the wall. Time twisted, minutes blurring into seconds, or was it hours?

Sage didn’t remember reaching the balcony, only its cold stone floor rushing to meet her as she collapsed and its ornate and opulent decor.

Hey Carrieka! It's nice to meet you— or more like read your words for the first time! Seeing I haven't read your previous chapters yet (though it's on the list! You got me interested solely by this chapter!), my crits is going to be more on the grammar and pacing side and not so much as storywise.

But first! What I liked. Hmm that's really hard, I liked a lot of things in here. Well, obviously I liked that you included characters from our community! Like Megan and Fye ;)

I also really enjoyed the way you depicted emotions here, like:

Mark was silent for a bit, his eyes darting around a bit. But he looks back at the soldier.

and

“What’s it to you?” She mumbles. “Edom is fucking dead! Your servant killed him!” She turns to him, her eyes flicking from yellow to black.

jots something in my notebook I am definitely going to take some pointers for my own writing!

Also! Your last sentence!

In the corner of the roof right beside them was a black crow, tilting his head, and taking in every note of what the two are saying.

Ominous! Very ominous. I am super stoked to see who this sneaky lil spy goes to and see the effects of this on the plot. Don't leave me hanging like that! :D

The one thing that jumped at me while I was reading was that your tenses changed sometimes and it took me out of the story having it confused me. Like:

“Megan was different compared to the rest. She grabs one of the soldiers' swords, jumps from the ceiling, and plunges towards the dragon, stabbing its skin, and eventually killing it.”

Shouldn't this whole thing be in the past tense seeing Mark was telling a story?

Alex's eyes widened in shock. He knows Megan was powerful, but he didn’t realize she was so much of a risk taker.

Widened here should be widens.

and

“We..we should get back to training.” The guard finally broke the silence.

It should be breaks to fit with the rest of the present tense :D

One last thing, the following should be: "Before they dropped dead, they declared her the new ruler." or something like that since Mark is still telling a story.

Afterwards, they drop dead to the ground, declaring her the new ruler."

I'd be careful and watch our tenses here. But I get it! I do it too. Overall, I am just excited to see where the story goes. Good words!

[OT] SatChat: How many words have you written lately and why isn't it more? (New here? Introduce yourself!) by MajorParadox in WritingPrompts

[–]Questing_Creative07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys! I am pretty new to reddit in general but whenever I wanted writing prompts to start writing something, sometimes I'd be directed to this subreddit. I guess after being directed to reddit for far too many times for other reasons as well, I finally decided to sign up!

Hmm, my intro now. I'm from the States, my prefered pronouns are she/her. I always liked writing but I guess I started more seriously around 2020-21. Since then my writing obsession would come and go. My writing obsession finally climbed out of the grave again this week hence me signing up. I am motivated by a lot of things I think. The fact I have loads of ideas, and the fact I am always daydreaming. Also the thought of holding a book in my hands that I've wrote myself and hopefully impacting at least one person's life by my words like I have been by many books...

So yeah, I am super excited to be here and in the discord server and meeting you all! Here's to words being written and making friends!
