Enchantment: Backstory excerpt 3/3

-
Hey there again! Here is the (unplanned) excerpt for Lynn Kaylie! I'm most proud of this one and I really love the concept. Here are the excerpts in order: Lynn, Madeline, and Lillian. This excerpt is mostly told in Lynn's own thoughts and is actually a real backstory, not like the other two excerpts! Her real name is Evelynn (I was considering Lyndsey for one but I like this more) but in the basic story, they just call her Lynn. Code name: Kaylie. So yeah, let's get on with the story!

Lynn hid behind the castle and relived the darkest hour of her life.

There was once a little girl. Her name was Evelynn. She lived in the middle of the deep dark woods with her father, the only person she knew.

One day, her father called her. He was in bed. “Lynn,” he said, holding up an amulet. “Take this and go to Parallel. Fight the darkness and survive.”

And Lynn’s father closed his eyes.

Lynn was heartbroken. But she went out with her prized spear, and hid behind the house. Darkness fell, like a black curtain, suddenly. She went a bit further than the house – and found out she was glowing with light. Everything was dark.

A sleek white ribbon flashed by her, and she backed away. It appeared behind her, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Then she remembered what she had told her father. I will fight the darkness and survive. She grasped hold of the amulet, and crept through the forest. Silently, swiftly.

She lashed out at the white blurs that slipped in front of her. The light started to dawn.
Her eyes focused, and she saw the sun and the end of the forest. If I am the last human being on earth, she thought, I will be brave.

And she broke the darkness and emerged into the light.

Her feet took her to the large, carved wooden door. Her hand rested on the handle and it twisted. A guard stood in front of her. She had long, brownish-blond hair, a black cat-suit, and in her hand was an ivory dagger.

 Lynn took a deep breath. “Naomi, take me to Maiden Rosy.”

Yeah, this kinda explains a lot of stuff, doesn't it? xD I've been keeping you in the dark for all too long. I will be back with another excerpt which will no doubt be longer and explain a whole lot more stuff as well. Gudbai!

Frozen 2 - movie review

-
I'm writing this right after an hour since I came back from the cinema and let me tell you, Frozen 2 was a treat! Amazing, amazing, amazing!  I was so charmed by it, and my mother sitting next to me literally started fangirling over the water spirit (something I'd never thought she'd do!) Review starts here! Movie name:  Frozen 2 My rating: 5 stars My review: Each scene of this amazing movie is eye candy. The comedy is there, thrown in by Olaf. The intense, sad, scary moments are there, and there is a time when it looks like both sisters are gone for good. I would say that I actually liked this better than the original. Anna finally takes the role of a hero, and Elsa's personality becomes more developed, more than just the protective older sister. We're seeing the next "Let It Go" with the song "Into The Unknown", both of which are remotely similar. The movie was basically a musical - there are about 8-9 songs in it. Each spirit is d...

Ember Falls - book review

As I promised, here is a review of Ember Falls, the second book in the Green Ember series! I do  have more important things to do than write book reviews (such as worry about the characters in Ember's End, which are currently in mortal peril - I'm halfway through the book), but who's judging? No one is!                                            Okay, so where do I begin? This book is a great follow-up to The Green Ember, and I loved it. I don't knooooow how to review it, because it seems very hard to review without spoiling.  Well. I'll have to try. Ember Falls was exhilarating. It was intense. It was thrilling. Okay, maybe not thrilling. That belongs to the third book. But yeah.  Many of the plot twists were unexpected. There was one I saw coming a little early on, maybe because it had been hinted in the first book (a certain betrayal) but it doesn't matter. It ...

The Green Ember - book review

Hi! Today I'm reviewing one of my favorite books (and will review the rest in the series)! I actually kind of thank Covid-19 for happening, because if it hadn't then Audible would have never put out a free collection of books for kids, and I never would have seen the cover and go, "I'm listening to this." So, um, thank you, Covid-19. Anyway...                                                                 *royal trumpet screeches* The Green Ember is probably one of my favorite books to date. It has awesome epic fights, awesome epic plot twists, and awesome epic sibling relationships. (Sorry, Frozen.) Heather and Picket are two ordinary rabbits living an ordinary life with their parents, and baby brother Jacks in a place called Nick Hollow which looks straight out of a Tinker Bell movie. But the sweet little plot goes epic and aw...
