Jackie Smoke

Fantasy Author

Stories have their own kind of magic. I’ve always known that. Always felt it in my bones whenever I sat down to watch a movie or read a book.I am especially fond of fairytales and folktales. Stories that have been passed down and shaped by generations, signs of humanity’s attempt to understand this world we live in. Then you have the writers who take those oh so familiar tales and twist them into something different, something new, something inspiring. I am one of those people. I’m a bit of a magpie, pulling pieces from different places to craft them into a legend of my own making.The world could always use a little more magic and a little more adventure. So that is what I intend to bring.

Once Upon a Twisted Fate

A child born on the blackest night,
A legacy born of the soul’s last flight.
The sun, the stars, the moon, the sea,
The light, the shadows, and all in between.
Enemies and allies did join the fight,
As the dawn of hope takes flight
A war raged in worlds near and far,
The worlds shall shake as crumbles the star.
Red and white, black as night,
Would be heroes join the fight,
Chasing things they do not know,
Led by one as white as snow.
Red and white, black as night,
Would be heroes join the fight,
For if they fail what must be done,
The darkness will rise and take the sun.

Those allies bring her some clarity, but with the clarity comes more questions.The story stretches back farther than she realizes, and tugging on those strings will soon find her in the middle of a very complicated, very old game that is nearing its end.
