Maybe this one is a no brainer. And maybe this is something that everyone knows about… but it’s still a tip that I’m going to give, because you’d be shocked at how many people say that they don’t have to read to be able to write well.
I honestly don’t like to give hard, fast rules about how to do anything. Most of the time, I would tell people that they can do whatever they…
Since their ‘magical’ tattoos are a dead giveaway on who the reincarnated five are, the rest of the group later each get tattoos to confuse their enemies.

The storm outside let the street lamp in front of her window swing back and forth, lighting up her bedroom and then plunging it in darkness once again.

Going with Amaria for this one:

1. It was just one moment of abstraction. The setting sun shone bright in his eyes, making it impossible to see anything. Paired with the headphones in his ears, he was completely unaware of his surroundings. The impact came as a total surprise to him and literally swept him off his feet. For a moment he thought he saw stars, but then he realized he stared into the worried eyes of his attacker.
2. She was going fast, flying down the promenade. With the setting sun in her back and the wind in her hair, she felt alive and invincible. She weaved her way through the people with ease, humming a song she had heard on the radio earlier. Not paying attention for a second, she couldn’t stop fast enough when a man came up in front of her, obviously lost in his own world. His body broke her own fall, but she made sure to check that she hadn’t injured him too badly.
3. He was on the side of the promenade almost every day, selling ice cream to the passersby. He let his gaze drift away for a bit, blinking against the setting sun. A woman came down the boardwalk on skates, a little bit too fast maybe. ‘Thank god, she wears a helmet’, he thought to himself and then noticed the oblivious man coming down the promenade from the other side. He couldn’t warn them anymore and he flinched when he saw them collide.
Bonus: From the distance, the ice cream seller could see them both standing up, uninjured and holding each other’s gaze - with big smiles on their faces.
Frieda - Over the course of her story, she starts with wanting to explore places away from her home. But when it all comes crushing down, she wants nothing more than to get back home. After realizing that she can never go home again, she tries to built herself and her new family a new home.
The way he moved made her heart flutter. His swift kicks, his controlled punches, his twists and turns. The way he fought dirty, how he always fought like he just neededto win. He didn’t hold back with her and she liked that about him. Because she would never hold back either. You count your fallen after the battle is over - they counted every bruise and kissed it better. Both knowing that soon they would have to fight to survive and then they couldn’t hold back either.

Context: I was at the eye doctor this morning and they had these paintings of eyes literally everywhere.
There were eyes everywhere. Blue eyes, brown eyes, green eyes, big eyes and smaller eyes. Some seemed lost in the moment, some emotionless, some angry, some happy and some seemed scared. But they had one thing in common: they all seemed to follow her around.
No matter where she went, the second she turned back around, they stared down at her from every wall.
But she wasn’t scared.
There was a sense of relief, knowing that she was not alone. That there was someone watching out for her.
She picked a pair of eyes and stared right back at them. A soft smiled played around her lips and she winked.
Frieda - She hates loud noises since the explosion and while she used to like it when she didn’t have to make decisions, she is starting to really dislike it now when people make decisions for her.
Der Zug hatte bereits bessere Tage gesehen. Die Sitze waren abgewetzt, überall lag Müll herum und durch die dreckigen Fenster, die von außen mit Graffitis zu gesprüht waren, fiel nur wenig Licht. Es war Zeugnis all der Jahre, die der Zug die unterschiedlichsten Menschen von A nach B gebracht hatte. Doch hier und da ließ sich noch etwas von dem alten Glanz des Zuges erahnen und es wirkte fast so, als hätte man ihn aus einer vielversprechenden Vergangenheit gerissen und in eine düstere Zukunft verschleppt. Mit einem raschen Blick auf ihren Begleiter fragte sie sich, was wohl ihr Fahrtziel für eine Zukunft für sie bringen würde.

The train had seen better days. The seats were torn up, everywhere was garbage, and through the dirty windows, sprayed over with graffiti, was hardly coming any light. It was a testament to all the years the train had brought many different people from A to B. Here and there you could still see a glimpse of its former glory, and it almost felt like the train was torn from a promising past and thrown into a grim future. She asked herself, with a quick glance to her companion, what kind of future would their destination bring for them?

The setting sun disappeared behind the trees as I walked steadily towards my car. My exposed arms shuddered against the chill of the cool evening breeze. I glanced down at my wristwatch, which was barely visible in the fading light. 8 o'clock sharp. Taking a moment to marvel at my punctuality, I then reached for the driver’s side door handle. That’s when I heard my name being shouted from somewhere in the distance.
