This is Enayatullah EBADI from Afghanistan. I am currently working on my university’s applications and need some help in writing my essays.

Note: anyone who wants to help me please contact me in below WhatsApp number +93797210068 thanks in advance.

Hurrah. Today I submitted my first chapter for Prowriting Aid’s contest with an hour to spare. Horrors. Your ultimate pantser. It is called Daughter of the Shadow Prince. Chapter 1 is ‘The Severing Power’ Low Medieval Fantasy. Thank you.

This is the beginning of my story of Celine, an illegitimate child possessing “the hum” which gives her empathic abilities. Could you please read the first part of the chapter and let me know what you think? Do you want more? Why or why not? Thank you. Chapter One The Severing Power Gallantide — Where the Rivers Meet the Sea in Melavaire Celine had always known the hum. It had lived beneath her thoughts for as long as she could remember—a soft, steady presence, like a second heartbeat that did not belong entirely to her. When she was small, she thought everyone felt it. They did not. Celine, just ten-years old, sat cross-legged on a worn wolfskin in the library, Amma—her grandmother—opposite her. The chamber was warm with firelight and memory. The little girl’s small wooden tarot cards lay spread carefully before her, each one turned with quiet attention, while Amma’s voice drifted through the final lines of a story from the Children’s Book of Illusions. In soft finality for the evening, Amma closed the book before Celine could ask for another story. Candlelight flickered across Amma’s face. The fire answered with a soft crack. Around them, the books watched in silence—stories of the gifted, written in a time before such gifts—knacks, as they were called among the enslaved—were named a poison by the Sentinels and marked for eradication among noble houses like the Ashwyns. The hum shifted. It became urgent. A warning—and for the first time, frightening. Amma stilled. As her grandmother closed the leather book of children’s stories, Celine tried to delay her bedtime while continuing to flip over her miniature wooden cards. She ensured her voice was as pleading as possible. “Please read another tale, Amma,” the child begged as the candles flickered in their sconces. In the massive fireplace in front of them, a log burned, eliciting the sound of sparks and sputters while glowing flames warmed the room with heat and wood smoke. Books climbed from floor to ceiling on the other three walls, all bound in leather, a signal of Melavaire’s wealth. Scribes wrote this book, telling stories of noble children as gifted as Celine and Amma, published before the Sentinels declared them illegal for the “poison” magic they contained.

I believe it would be highly valuable for each member of this community to openly share their areas of expertise and strengths. By doing so, we create a clear network of trusted skills within the group, making it easier for anyone who needs support to connect with the right person for the job. This approach not only improves the quality of work we receive, but also helps us avoid the risks that often come with outsourcing to unknown external providers.
