The World Walkers: Athare: Jacinth: Meeting Kester

Being called into the office of the leader of the Council was terrifying. It was something that happened so rarely that no one had been able to tell Jacinth what to expect, so she sat in the waiting area and tried to calm herself down. She was a good Walker, even though studying the worlds really hadn’t prepared her for actually travelling to one of them, but that didn’t mean anything. Alana had been a good Walker too, until she was arrested. She still didn’t know why it had happened or where Alana had gone after she had her tattoos removed, yet. Passing all thirty-four exams meant she could explore all thirty-four worlds and she was going to keep looking until she found Alana.

The World Walkers: Athare: Emrys: Travelling Through Time

It was easy enough to gather together all the remaining jars that held the worlds. No one really cared all that much about them, because they’d all moved on to living their new lives and dealing with the changes they’d created. At least the ones who hadn’t shut themselves away in warded settlements, terrified of the choices that had been made, of the new races that had been created, and of the fae who’d done the work to create both the worlds and the races. Emrys wasn’t surprised, because they’d always been scared of what the Yellow family and the Blue family could do. That was why there had always been so many rules created to curtail what they could do with their abilities.

The Magi: Silvana: Freeing the Magi

Looking around the room gave Silvana an idea of what she was up against if she was going to try freeing her people from the Carne. She knew everyone was there because they believed in her, but she wasn’t sure if she believed in herself. At least a hundred pairs of eyes stared at her and she wanted to give them something they’d never had before, as they’d all been born in servitude, but she was scared. Every one of them depended on her to find a safe home and food for them all, when she had no more of an idea of what faced them than anyone else.

Heliopath’s World: Ildieu: Ixia: Leaving Town

There had been nothing written about what would happen if a man reached black level. Some had said that their lack of knowledge put them at a disadvantage and it turned out they were right. Ixia looked back at the building she had called home for her entire life. No one had been sure that he could even become a black mage. Very few people actually managed it. Everyone knew that if he did it would change the world forever. She sighed, holding tightly to her bag strap. They just couldn’t know how it would change and she didn’t think it had ever crossed anyone’s mind that he would learn death magic.

Words written between counts: 302,790

I’m fours days late, because I was planning on having this posted on the 4th, but I have reached my target. This doesn’t include anything currently in my random folder, so it’s not a complete total, and I probably have around another 3,000 words of story in that folder. By the next count I hope to have written another 300,000 words, which I’ll aim to have posted between the 4th and the 8th of January next year.

Update: 8th July

The credit count is complete. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be, even though I hadn’t done one for six months, and I’m going to do one at least once a month from now on. While I was doing it I realised that I’d totally forgotten about one prompt call, because my computer failed not long after, so I’ll be working on the stories for that soon, as well as any other prompt call stories I haven’t finished. For anyone who is waiting on prompt call stories: I promise you they will get done. Some of the stories just take longer than others, even though I love prompt calls, because of a lack of inspiration.

I’ve made a couple of changes to the credits page, to make it possible to purchase posted stories with them, although my focus is still on trying to get a liveable income from my writing.

The World Walkers: Raenarin: Leo: Following in the Footsteps

Knocking on the door was the hard part. In order to do something that seemed so simple Leo had to push to one side the belief that the sorceress within would say no. Being a witch would have made everything much simpler in some ways, but you had to be born a witch, and that was something that was entirely down to luck. Of course, then it was a case of dealing with the covens, instead of being under the tutelage of one sorceress, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage. Once someone had learnt how to use the magic of the world there was nobody there to make sure that the sorceress didn’t use it incorrectly. That didn’t mean that there weren’t entire covens who used their power for the wrong things, but there was someone there to make the decisions with. The difference between the two types of magic user was something Leo had been thinking about for a long time.
