The Girl with Amethyst Eyes
There once was a young girl who had dreams farther than the eye can see. She had beautiful curly hair as big as the tree tops and a smile that could outshine the sun. She had skin so beautiful it glistened like honey, and as brown and earthly as the beautiful soil in her gardens.

Huntress
As the sword cuts down at Selena’s head, she was surprised by what thoughts wound through her mind. We’ve told legends of the four horsemen for thousands of years. Stories passed down generation to generation. The details might change but the shape is always there. Yet for all the stories, when they came, we were still unprepared. A global pandemic brought the world to a standstill. Quarantine became mandatory and production halted. Famine soon swept along in its wake, and it wasn’t long after that the fighting began. Leaders of the world got greedy, or desperate, it was hard to tell in the end. War raged. Weapons were unleashed upon the world. Destruction in Mans hands and raining down from the sky. The explosions causing skylines to change and the earth to be reshaped.

My Necklace! My Power!
Inside a small gray box with a tiny red ribbon laid a stunning 24k gold heart-shaped locket with a diamond in the center. You're probably like, "OMG," sounds expensive, right! Who would have gotten you something so fancy? Had you asked me, my response would've been, "if I told you, I'd have to kill you"! No, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't hurt a fly. In other words, if you were there, you would've known, but you weren't. So I'll tell you. My grandma is the beautiful soul that gave me the stunning piece of art. I added it to a necklace. When I opened the box, I almost burst into tears! Lol, I said almost, but I didn't. I was very shocked that "My Grandma" had gifted me such luxury! Knowing my grandma doesn't believe in paying an arm and a leg for nothing. She is a well-known thrift shopper. My grandma is that lady in the store that catches all the sales and stacks all the coupons! I have witnessed her entire bill of thrifty finds total to only $8.00. Nowadays you can't even buy a t-shirt for $8.00, less known a bar stool, a small corner shelf, some tennis shoes and a ring all for $8.00, tell me how! I swear I think the lady is addicted to thrifting. I can't blame her. I would be too catching deals like that. My grandma is also the one who will notice an issue with the already used item and inform the clerk to call the manager and negotiate the price. When I say she is good, She is Good! I opened the box and seen the locket. I couldn't imagine what she, the clerk, and the manager all had to experience for her to commit to buying such a beautiful piece. I am curious because this was the best birthday gift ever, especially coming from my sweet granny!

The Heart of the Dragon
I’m exposed. Waiting for Jamie to arrive distracts me from my usual vigilance. The Royal Standard Army contingent is in sight one hundred yards away from my location—too close for my safety. I dive into my hidey-hole as fast as the cat I named myself after. Now, I wait and pray they don’t see me in the dark cleft of rubble.

The Heart of Gala
It was my mother’s. The heart locket. It was what she gave me as they dragged her away. She told me to never wear it unless I wanted the truth. I was only six years old at the time. I was confused by what she meant that day and never once wore the necklace…until now.
