Final Flight

By N. R. Eccles-Smith

Adeline Ve’duer Remenon has been on the run for ten years. Framed for the murder of her entire family, and hunted by an elite force of warriors from the warmongering kingdom of Varscodia, she finds herself at the limits of her emotional resilience.
On the night marking the tenth anniversary of her flight as a fugitive, Adeline broods over a painful past and contemplates a grim future. She has had no encounters with the Varscodian Enforcers in over three months. Most would consider that a good sign. But not Adeline. She has been shadowed by the conniving fiends long enough to realise how they work, and their lack of presence for so long does not bode well...

Naomi confesses the best word to describe her is: whimsical. Forget “the girl next door” and think more along the lines of “the girl from the next galaxy over” and you’d be closer to the correct personality categorization. She is an unequivocal day-dreamer, anime enthusiast, partisan of fantastical things, and unshakable devotee to story-telling. In addition to writing, Naomi sings, draws, reads, plays console games, does the occasional concept art commissions, and works with rescued animals. Her love for absorbing fabulous, unforgettable stories is only out-shined by her love for creating her own. Currently, she lives with her equally peculiar sister, two wild but wonderful nephews, cheeky little niece, her adorable, fun-loving cats, Kyo and Yuki, and blessedly tolerant housemate on the Gold Coast, Australia.

It has been ten years since the Remenon Estate Incident. Ten years since the accusation of murdering my family and burning our manor to the ground. Ten years of being wanted by the Varscodian Enforcers—hunted, ostracised and forced to filter myself through a mire of aliases and masks. Ten years of running. And I’m tired of it.

I’ve known for a long time that the whole affair was a villainous plot instigated by the Varscodian aristocracy to mark me as the transgressor to cover their involvement. Though, why I was singled out, I’ve never been able to find out. Perhaps because I was the rebellious, untempered one
