Week - 690 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part One by ummagine3284

Description: It was almost completely dark, apart from moonlight leaking through gaps in the treetops. Traveling in the dark proved nerve-wracking—like usual—and Trina knew arguing would only irritate her friends. The mistake that she made could potentially destroy the entire island, or worse, and it was her responsibility to fix it, no matter the risks.

Week - 691 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Two by ummagine3284

Description: “It was not my fault!” he snarled. “If you had actually paid attention to what was goin’ on, it’s pretty obvious that I’m powerless in the crew. Why would they listen to a thing I, the ship’s gunner, have to say? And why would I waste my time pestering those arrogant buffoons who think height and treasure and rank are everything? I couldn’t do a thing!”

Week - 692 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Three by ummagine3284

Description: I can see everything you experienced, your past and feelings. I know where you have been, and what you are trying to do next. By just taking one look at you, I know all of your strengths and weaknesses.

Week - 693 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Four by ummagine3284

Description: The trio used the trees as their cover. With each step, more pirates became visible to them, many carrying weapons. The scattered pirates all marched in the opposite direction in which Trina was headed. The rain lessened as a black silhouette—a castle—rose into the scene. For the pirate’s headquarters, Trina declared, it appeared to be just as bad as them.

Week - 694 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Five by ummagine3284

Description: Without warning, Trina broke into laughter. It definitely wasn’t a smart thing to laugh in front of the most powerful pirate on the island, but she couldn’t help it. “Do you…do you really expect me to believe that?” “No,” he answered. “I expect you to give up on defeating me.”

Week - 695 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Six by ummagine3284

Description: Before she knew it, the faint cricketing of the night came to life. The cold air seeped into her skin, but she did not shiver. Lupes, Quiggles, Kyriis, and many others in armor marched the plains, equipped with wands, swords, and terrified faces.

Week - 696 The Adventures of Trina: The Awakening: Part Seven by ummagine3284

Description: By the tiniest flick of her wand, a dozen lemons fused together, and then were stretched into a single thread that resembled melted cheese. Then, in a blink of an eye, the yellow string was sucked into the green wand, as if the space itself was being compressed. Cassie was stunned with amazement and uncertainty. “Are you sure that’s safe?”

Week - 720 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part One by ummagine3284

Description: I was skimming over my notes for the second time of the night when I was called down to the holding chamber. When my eyes adjusted to the dim lighting of the stone room, I could see why the Meerca took so many months for us to capture. His body didn’t even fill half of his seat—yet a favorable physique for a thief—and he was a veteran at his craft. On top of that, he boasted an elite record, having been an accomplice in the theft of King Coltzan’s crown.

Week - 721 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Two by ummagine3284

Description: I felt like I had been struck by a wall of bricks. Everything crumbled, and I plunged into a nightmare. I vaguely remember the teacher shrieking as a strong arm yanked me from the floor, his merciless glaze looking down on me.

Week - 722 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Three by ummagine3284

Description: Cassie frowned. “She didn’t show up for class today. Is she sick?” “Can’t be—she was fine yesterday. More than fine, actually. I’ve never seen her so happy, not since…” she dropped to a whisper, “well, when we joined the pirates.”

Week - 723 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Four by ummagine3284

Description: Over coughing up sobs, I heard the metal door squeak, and something slipped behind me. I could see it from a shadow on the wall, standing there like stone, its shape overlapping with my quivering silhouette. Even covered in darkness I dared to not let it find my face, soaked and shaken, pressed against the cold surface of the table.

Week - 724 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Five by ummagine3284

Description: rina carefully stepped onto the white terrain. Miles and miles ahead, the snow was the only thing in sight, spanning in every direction. “So this is Terror Mountain…” she said to herself in awe.

Week - 725 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Eight by ummagine3284

Description: “It’s settled,” she said to my ear. “We’re going after Trina.”

Week - 726 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Seven by ummagine3284

Description: Burly creatures were digging in the snow, their long, yellow claws flinging powder into the air. Their feet were massive enough to crush any enemy. Their teeth were so long, she almost mistook them as tusks. Camouflaged by their overgrown tufts of white fur, from their ankles to their forehead, where twisted horns reached for the sky, their red pupils burned into her mind.

Week - 727 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Eight by ummagine3284

Description: “Got anything to eat around here?” I said to the sound of my stomach rumbling. Honestly, after seeing the rotting furniture, I was afraid to ask. “Yeah, but you’ll have to stick by me,” the White Kougra said. “You don’t have clearance there yet.”

Week - 728 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Nine by ummagine3284

Description: “You’re Rorren Willicks? That’s…that’s impossible!” He nodded. “That name…it’s been such a long time…There’s much to explain, but now’s not the time. We need to get back to headquarters.”

Week - 729 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Ten by ummagine3284

Description: I dived to the left as Evrilin sliced his cutlass through the air. So fast, the engraved symbols on the blade were just one big blur. His laughter was muffled by the crackling fire ripping through the cardboard boxes and setting the wooden pillars ablaze.

Week - 730 The Adventures of Trina: The Glass Key: Part Eleven by ummagine3284

Description: I’ve never gone down so many stairs in my life. By now I must have ran down at least thirty floors worth of white walls and white stairs—each floor indistinguishable from the last—and there was no end in sight. Finally, I came to a door. I figured that even if it’s not an exit, it would be a nice place to hide and regain my energy.
