Heya! Here's the preface! Chapter 1 coming out VERY SOON! I know my recordings suck lol At the end I tried to sound more emotionless, but it ended up sounding plain ridiculous XD I feel like I got something wrong but I have no idea what it is. Welp. Chapter 1!! --> https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/468887631/ *** Blurry, fractured memories swam through Sophie's mind, but she couldn't piece them together. She tried opening her eyes and found only darkness. Something rough pressed against her wrist and ankles, refusing to let her move. A wave of cold rushed through her as the horrifying realization dawned. She was a hostage. A cloth above her lips stifled her cry for help, and a sedative's sweet aroma stung her nose when she inhaled, making her head spin. Were they going to kill her? Would the Black Swan really destroy their own creation? What was the point of Project Moonlark, then? What was the point of the Everblaze? The drug lulled her towards a dreamless oblivion, but she fought back -- clinging to the one memory that could shine a tiny spot of light in the thick, inky haze. A pair of beautiful aquamarine eyes. Fitz's eyes. Her first friend in her new life. Her first friend ever. Maybe if she hadn't noticed him that day in the museum, none of this would've happened. No. She knew it'd been too late even then. The white fires were already burning -- curving toward her city and filling the sky with sticky, sweet, smoke. The spark before the blaze. *** Directed by ~ @SkatterTwin2 Based off the book by ~ Shannon Messenger Adapted by ~ @SkatterTwin2 Narrator ~ @SkatterTwin2
