My blog posts are also someitmes including an extra story to go along wtih the image. . See the bottom of the post for the whole months’ worth of prompts.

Today I’m playing catch-up, as I’ve missed a few days, and we’re nearly halfway through the month, so it seemed as good a time as any.

Day 6: “Fade”

Day 9: “Fear”

Day 10: “Friendship”

NB: Max is the other protagonist in With Memories and Magic. Sometimes I think he has a crush on Clara, but if he does, he’s not talking about it, and is pretending they’re just friends anyway. 😛

Day 11: “Found”

Day 12: “Four”

It’s now past my bedtime and I have to get up and go to work tomorrow, so I’ll leave this here and post the images to Instagram tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the other prompts.

In Thelidon, the firstborn child of the reigning monarch develops magical abilities they use to defend their small kingdom. King Emery is the second son, and had to take the throne when his older brother died with no heir, so the Kingdom has had to wait until Clara comes of age for that magic to take hold again.

#FictFBFeb17 Day 2: “First”

February 2, 20172 Comments

“I’m sorry, Captain!”

“There’s no need for apologies, Princess,” came the winded voice of Captain Armin from the ground in front of her. “That’s exactly what I wanted you to do.”

“I know, but… are you hurt?”

“I’ll be fine.”

Princess Clara Winterburn stood grimacing as the captain eased himself off the ground. Somehow, she had thought she would feel more victorious the first time she managed to disarm the Captain.

“You’ve done well, your Highness,” he said, inclining his head towards her. “If you keep progressing at this rate, once your magical abilities have also developed, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with.”

Clara knew it was a compliment, but it just felt like one more weight upon her shoulders. She looked away.

“I just don’t want to have to hurt anyone.”

Don’t worry, Clara, by two thirds of the way through With Memories and Magic, you’ll want to bring all the hurt.

Somewhere in an alternate universe, I didn’t kill off Captain Armin in the opening chapter, and he went on to be Clara’s awesome second-in-command in battle. Still feeling a little bit guilty about his most untimely death. But not too much. Not really.
