    A refreshing flush of cool, currant water washed over Amelia’s skin, stirring her from her ever-peaceful slumber. Gentle rays of light from the sun trickled down to the deeper ocean, where they reflected off mirroring instruments to bring light into the underwater citadel. Many Syreni were already out and about, working the kelp fields and bringing all kinds of sunken trinketwww.onedoor.ccs from the surface-world back for analysis in their laboratories. Even the queen had ventured out to enjoy such a spectacularly peaceful day. Amelia swam elegantly out of her nook among the rocky cliffside. Today, she plan...qkKone door

    The Battle

    Noya glanced at Akolai as they approached the last leg of their journey. If the Gods favoured them, their purpose was waiting for them with a smile and a joke, making their travel nothing more than a horrible nightmare. They were tired. Noya just wanted to lie down and let the cold lull her to sleep, but she–they–needed to find out if they’d succeeded. They’d come too far to give up.Akolai’s eyes lacked the luster of the anger that had fired them up the first time they had laid eyes on each other–two children from opposing countries, magics, and beliefs.“Come on, Zi, show me how your countrym...qkKone door
