Aisha/Nex Story: Expanding to a Series
Note: I’m talking about my non-Winx story formerly called “The Thread” (more on that in a moment). My story will span about three years. I don’t wanna cram them into one “book”, so I’ve decided to write a three-part series. Aisha and Nex’s relationship will develop gradually throughout it....
Inktober 2019 Drabble #10: “Commitment”
“Nex,” said Tecna, “I need to finish the upload, or you’ll have significant gaps in your memory.” The Paladin nodded slowly and gritted his teeth in preparation. One last time, code flowed from Tecna’s phone, arching and winding until it all disappeared into his visor. “Upload complete,” she said....
Inktober 2019 Drabble #9: “Déjà Vu”
With a few button taps, Tecna gathered the data around Nex’s head into her phone. “Now to upload it,” she said. A ribbon of code streamed into Nex’s visor. After a few seconds, he started to groan and wince, and the ribbon abruptly snapped. Tecna frowned. “Something’s blocking the...

Inktober 2019 Drabble #4: “In One Ear”
“And this is?” said Aisha, pointing to a handdrawn map on the coffee table. Nex leaned over it. “Uh…Black Island?” “No! That’s Black Island!” “Oh, yeah. So…it’s the one with the portal, right?” Aisha growled. “Nex, are you paying attention?” “Yes! It’s just a lot to remember all at...
Inktober 2019 Drabble #3: “Childhood Memento”
“Whoa!” said Nex. “I’ve never seen so many books!” “We don’t have time to browse,” said Aisha. For about two hours, the couple shuffled through the stacks, gathering Andros textbooks, history books, maps, and biographies. Suddenly, Aisha noticed a thin book on a bottom shelf. The moment she saw...
