PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dedicated to Timothy McCravey.

For years Steeple Chase has been home to a lot of dark secrets: witches, witch hunters, warring factions, and evil magic. In a fleeting time of peace, Joan, Trinity, and Zoe all think themselves capable of becoming the next successful team of witch hunters to leave the Witch Hunting Academy, but they couldn't be more wrong.

Armina Malum-Veritas is Princess to both the Devil's Witch Coven and the God's Witch Coven. A Neutralist. She enters the Academy on a snowy night, looking for the best it has to offer, but instead is offered the worst: Joan, Trinity, and Zoe. What the team doesn't know is that Armina is harboring the darkest secret the Academy has ever let within its walls, and they have just become her pawns

Deception. Hatred. Hope. Friendship.

I am without shame when I say that this was 100% inspired by a game of Civilization V I am currenly invested in. I'm actually in love with the overall concept (of a warlike nation forced to become diplomatic and progressive due to circumstances beyond their control) and am extremely proud of how quickly I belted out this little story (thanks, corporate lunch hour!). I may go so far as to take the premise, delve into much greater detail and turn it into a proper, historically-fictional story. Let me know if you would enjoy that.

I used wonder often..very often, how it is, that we can do so many unbelievable brilliant things, and discover so many things that make money---but we cannot figure out how to live in peace with each other. 

~peace~

like a car in the junkyard. i get embarassed at times. human life costs...money.
