It's time once again for Five Sentence Fiction! The prompt Lillie chose for this week is DESOLATE.
If you've missed previous installments of my serialized FSF story, you can find the entire thing on this PAGE.
Unchained
Chapter
34: Desolate
Times
Charmers were clinically insane psychics who had powers that
could both heal and damage the fragile flesh of those with whom they came in
contact, but the Wrath was so much more powerful than the Warmth that a charmer
could not undo the damage they inflicted.
Even if they could track down the charmer that harmed her, it would do
no good, as the Wrath would steadily eat away at her until she was gone
forever.

Ylana sat at Nara’s side, her thoughts filled with
desolation as she recalled the dead world that Nara once called home, and that
her friend would soon meet the same fate.

Just as Ylana’s thoughts were about to turn utterly dark
with despair, her hand found the goggles of fate still perched atop her head,
and she felt a glimmer of hope emerge.

Very intense! And the goggles of fate sound extremely intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThis is an intriguing fantasy world and, I too, love the sound of the "goggles of fate".

Oh, I like that little unexpected turn!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad there was a glimmer of hope... if only everyone could see that there is always hope - well written.
