An extract from the draft of my story "The Slave and The Emperor." (working title) :
Miya worked under a man in what could have been called a library. He had a short temper and a tendency to drop books and scrolls randomly, causing much pain to Miya when he dropped a thousand page hardback onto her feet. She had met him the day before on her tour with Kiyra. It was very lucky that the room was not too far from her room, although she had managed to wander aimlessly for half an hour before she worked out where she needed to be. Master Goring, the ‘librarian’ had wacked her severely around the ears and told her off. Besides his random out bursts of anger he was very quiet and kept to himself.
“GIRL!” He roared from his desk at the entrance of the library, “WHAT IS KEEPING YOU? BRING ME THE BOOK!”
Miya glanced desperately at the shelves. She was lucky to be able to read, it was terrifying to think what would happen if she couldn’t. At last she saw what she looking for and yanked the book from between the tightly wedged books sending a cascade of paper.

I know it has been ages since I posted something here so I dug this up. This story I do not plan to upload onto Wattpad. It is a work in progress currently about 12,000 words and several chapters. If people would like it, I will post more extracts.
~My overall writing has been pretty slow lately, sorry if people are waiting for parts of any of my stories. :'( Thank you for being patient!
