EMBERLYN WOLFSONG I recognize this particular scene so well. In my head, it keeps flashing incessantly. I finally realized after giving it a lot of thought that it was exactly like the dream I had while lying in bed the night before the competition. This is how it comes to pass. Even now, I have no idea. Nothing is feeling up to me. My whole body is trembling with pain, anger, fear, and weakness. I am not even sure which emotion to identify. In a lot of situations, my mind is all over the place. It is very vulnerable. I am unsure of what action to take. I make every effort to move slowly into my position and try to pick up more speed to get away from the beast that is currently approaching me slowly while laughing hysterically. "What then was your gain, now that you have completed the run? How much ground were you able to cover? Discourse with me, Emberlyn. Tell me about the accomplishment you made. I have you lying here in front of me, at my mercy. My free will allows me to inte
EMBERLYN WOLFSONG "Regretfully, you would not be eligible for this kind of assistance. " The beast keeps making jokes. In a desperate attempt to free myself, I open my mouth and scream nonstop. "Please refrain from treating me like this. Someone, please lend a helping hand!! " As I raise my left hand in desperation to press it against the beast's teeth, I keep screaming. Then I fight to get its head to come away, but it is just too strong for me to handle. I wish the incredible power I possessed a few moments ago could come alive right now and allow me to shoo this beast away. The creature sneers. With a growl, it says, "I do not think that kind of ability can repeat itself a second time. Thus, just give up on trying to set yourself free. Nobody can release you from my control. " The beast grabs my left hand and slams it against the parched grass once more, declaring that no one can release me from its hold. I am about to hear my brain rip apart because I hear another loud crack
EMBERLYN WOLFSONG She is pointed in the direction of the beast that is rushing to capture her and probably ends her dynasty when the bat-like wings on her back suddenly develop sharp structures that resemble blades at their tips as they swing forward. I watch as they both slam their fists against each other, creating an earthquake that rocks the area around me with tremendous force. As I roll in agonizing pain, attempting to regain control over my feeble hands that continue to ache so intensely that it is likely tearing at my membrane and seeping into my brain, I feel a powerful gust of wind from their collision that pushes me away and makes me shake uncontrollably in place. I grit my teeth in agony as I try to open my eyes and see that the two of them are still fighting. They appear to be equally powerful based on what I can see right now, but the beast appears to be much more powerful due to its size and unquestionable strength. For what purpose has this beast been around? It
EP 10: DOOM RETURNS EMBERLYN WOLFSONG A lovely, gentle melody is playing in my head, as though it is trying to get my attention and pull me out of the pitch-black world I am currently staring at. It is difficult for me to concentrate and detect that song's distinct aroma. I feel like I am stuck in the middle of nowhere with my current situation. I am staring around me, seeing nothing but pure blackness and not a single opaque thing to speak of. Sounds like they are trying to get my attention—loud voices whispering or perhaps echoing my name. This makes me clench tightly into my fists and scowl a little in my position. What in the world am I doing here? I contemplate in my head. What is preventing me from seeing? I groan as I continue to wonder, and then suddenly, with a jolt, I find myself jerking back to reality against the bed as I experience the sharpest headache pain, causing me to wince a little and press my hand to my forehead. Oh my god, screw it! Gripping tightly against
EMBERLYN WOLFSONG "Your potential is imprisoned inside of you, and unlocking it will require all of your willpower and accountability. Emberlyn, you are not just any typical child. You should trust me when I say this. Your power surpasses that of the lords of Darkhaven, and believe me, should they find out about your existence, they will use all of their might to track you down, use you for their advantage, manipulate you, or even bring you to your demise because, in one sense, you are both a threat and an advantage. If you refuse to give in to that advantage, they will likely view you as a threat to them and likely send you to the land of the dead because, centuries ago, your kind was forbidden from ever occurring in our history." She says these things that make me fold my arm. "So why don't you come clean and tell me who I am," I say, and she laughs. "I am sorry I can not do that Emberlyn; telling you will reduce your capability, your determination, and your belief; I can't eve
EMBERLYN WOLFSONG I stay where I am, staring at her with a slight frown, and she says, "You should get up and hurry up as fast as you can." " I would like to talk about my parents and find out more about them, so please wait while you relax and just take a seat again. Why was I left behind, and how in the world could you not have picked me up and taken care of me as you claimed you would? " She gives me a sidelong glance, sighs, and then turns to face forward as soon as I ask her those questions. "You do not want me to share this lengthy tale with you at this time, Emberlyn. Give me your faith and confidence. When you reach the age of ascension, these are the kinds of things you should know if you are willing to stay with me and follow the path your mother advised me to take with you. Please, you have chosen a different route, and you do not seem to have a right to be aware of everything. I will just let you live the life you want," she says, shrugging as she walks towards the doo
EMBERLYN WOLFSONG I sigh in bewilderment and shake my head angrily while running my fingers through my hair. Why is it that things never seem to work out the way I want them to? Frustrated, I grit my teeth and think to myself. Then, a few moments later, I take a quick look around the room before moving over to the window. I press my hand up against it and swing it open, revealing bright daylight beyond. I relieve myself with a sigh and give a small nod. Now is probably the time for me to decide. I have to decide whether to stay or leave right away. I turn around after giving it some thought and hear some faint movement. She is standing by the door, holding a change of clothes, when I turn to look at her. "Everything is set for me. These outfits I picked out for you will fit the requirements of your educational institution. It seems that this might fit you because your mom attended that school before she found her true self and returned to join our clan." She says as she approache
EP 11: GLOSSARY OF A MYSTERY EMBERLYN WOLFSONG Raising an eyebrow, I watch her life-threatening gang, all of them staring at me with scowling eyebrows as if they wanted to tear my whole body apart. I inhaled deeply and gave myself a slow shake of my head before turning to face the big structure that houses the orphanage hostel for students attending Darkhaven who have no one else to look after them. For the time being, I suppose this is where I belong. There is not enough time for me to handle Sage and her group at this time, I think to myself. While she keeps laughing, Sage suddenly appears in front of me and gives me a menacing smile. Oh no, it seems like she is deliberately doing this to prove to me how capable she is and make fun of me. I chew my bottom lip and cast my gaze downward, reflecting. She laughs and proceeds to move in my direction, making me take a step back. "I wish I could take you somewhere, sweet little Emberlyn, but I am afraid not right now." With a to
