Can You Feel It? A Writing Contest [Winner Announced!]
Thank you for joining our contest.
Title: Withered and Bloomed
Author: Deer-and-Bread
Prompt
#22 On the eve of their coronation they received a gift: a severed hand clutching a scroll sealed with their enemy’s crest.
 
Theme: Fantasy, Romance, Angst, Drama.
Group: EXO.
Characters: OC, Kyungsoo.
 
Becoming the king of Red was one of the many things Kyungsoo blamed himself for.
 
There was no way that out of all his gifted, charming, pure-blooded royal siblings, he would be the one chosen to succeed the previous king, but after an ‘accidental’ fire burnt most of his brothers and sisters to ashes and caused his father to mysteriously vanish, there was no choice but for the council to name him the new king.
 
His coronation ceremony was set to take place on the 61st of Autumn, at the sunset, yet on the eve of his coronation, a mysterious package was delivered to him. The contents of the package were, truthfully speaking, as disturbing as the remains of his burnt siblings that the workers dug out from the rubble after the fire. There was nothing much attached to the box to indicate who or what the sender was except for a few encouraging words etched onto the contents of the package.
 
“Wishing you a successful ceremony, my little king.”
 
It wasn’t hard for him to decipher who the sender was from the hints in the package. After all, who else would there be to send him such a wonderful gift besides the queen of the neighboring kingdom, White?
 
Visual Aids? No.
Extra Points? Yes.

Chapter 52: I had fun writing and would definitely like to thank you and everyone involved for the contest. It gave me another shot at writing when I was unsure if I should continue the hobby or not, and I really hope that at the very least, the judges enjoy the completed stories. I hope I at least get runner up :p

Hi, I'm not sure if I was supposed to mention it, but I completed my story in late December. Hopefully others complete theirs, too! I'm interested in the new contest too, so might join that one later ^^

Even though I did want to submit an entry, I find myself feeling unmotivated to finish up my story. It may have something to do with my parents getting my sisters and I sick (again!!!) and being sick, I find myself wanting to do nothing more than sleep.
I think I might end up going for the Light and Darkness Fantasy Writing Contest instead.
