Flames Of Hate and Retribution
Christopher Hayden a once proud soldier betrayed by the Kingdom he swore to protect, has been struggling to survive in a world he is no longer familiar with. By pure chance he rescues the princess of his former enemy Sarah EverHeart who is fleeing from a marriage she does not wish for.
Desperate she requests Christopher's aid. Unaware of the debt she has taken on, Christopher pushes forward driven by two things. His feelings for his loved ones, and his unquenchable thirst for revenge against those responsible. Is he a curse? A savior? A hero done wrong? The one fact is he will bring the world to it's knees and watch it burn to deliver his hate and retribution while paving a path for the princess.
A story that will bring happiness and sadness while bringing many mythical beings to life. Vampires, werewolves, spirits, elves and more. Will hate consume the once noble soul or can love bring him back from the brink during their struggle to survive?

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 84 "They used siege magic on the rear line?" Alexis asked with a furrowed brow. "Why would they expend so much magic on the rear line?" To Alexis this didn't make any sense. If they were using it as an opener to an attack from the rear, it would definitely be justifiable. Have your men rush in taking advantage of the destroyed lines and chaos. But using siege magic alone and backing off, would be like someone taking a shotgun to kill a spider inside their own house. Beyond overkill. If they had struck the center of their lines, their commanders, or even their supply train, Alexis could understand the expenditure. Most magic users could fling spells they specialized in for a majority of the day. But siege magic? The average mage could use it four times in one day, but be severely weakened for the next couple of days. Sure they could use siege magic again the next day, but each day without a proper recovery time the power of the attack would be cut in half. "Well sir it seems the rear l

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 83 Inside Helenfel. "Right here." Cassandra pointed at a section of her map sprawled out on the table. "This will be the perfect place." Andrea walked around the table to stand next to Cassandra looking down on the map. "Hmmm good call. When they emerge here they'll be in a bottleneck." "That's not all. They'll be coming around a corner too. They wont be able to see our army waiting for them until it's too late. We'll also have archers along the cliff tops. that can shoot down on them." "Why not have our archers continue firing down on them the entire stretch? That's miles of cliff ledge we could use to thin them out." Garrett asked retracing the path on the Albrael army was taking. "Because we don't want to give away our archers. The reason we've barely had our men harass them the past day was leading up to this moment. Most of all we don't want them to double back, leaving the kill zone we've set up." "Isn't there a chance they sent men to the top of the cliffs too though?" "We

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 82 Multiple days had passed in the City Of Darkness following the surrender/purge of any still resisting dissidents. And life had begun returning to normal little by little after the bodies were removed from the streets. Havoc's army had upheld their orders. Those who surrendered were allowed to return home without any recourse for fighting against their new host. Neither the members of The Black Guard, nor their militia counter parts caused any unnecessary damage, nor did they loot and pillage the city. Frankly apart from the angered nobles who's homes had been bombarded during the siege, the city was peaceful and upbeat. The stalls were open, any artisans were back to their crafts. The children ran and played in the now cleaned streets that had been soaked in blood not long ago. Guards were posted on every wall and street corner. Christopher and the other leaders involved weren't fools. Though they had been merciful, eventually there would be some who would try fighting back. They e

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 81Just a little earlier"This is big! This is really big!" Brisia grinned ear to ear as she paced back and forth hardly able to contain her excitement. Her little walk even leading her up the walls and onto the ceiling dancing, and skipping, somehow defying gravity."Shit! Shit Shit!" Alesia growled through grit teeth. "I knew something was coming, but even I never imagined this!" Alesia's current mood was about as close to polar opposite of Brisia's as it could get. 'This is the last thing we need currently! If they find out, especially in the middle of this war, we're seriously fucked! Like fucked on the level I was when all the other gods betrayed me and had me cast from the heavens! Perhaps even more fucked!'"I still can't believe it! I mean I suppose when you look at his track record it would make sense, but holy shit!" Brisia exclaimed. "Not just immortal but he's turning into a god.""I know... More so a god of death." Alesia groaned. The completed 'tattoo' pretty much confirme

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 80Thunk.... Thunk..."Riggy... Any day now..""Y-You d-don't rush perfection!" Mortis groaned as his nerves were being grated against by a rather pushy spirit. "E-Elise if you think you can do better, by all means t-take over!" He snapped back.Thunk! Thunk!"Well look Riggy.. I don't mean to be pushy... BUT PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FUCKING KILL US!" Elise roared flapping her arms up and down like they were wings.Fwee!As though on cue an arrow zipped between their faces, mere millimeters from giving Mortis a nose piercing he didn't wish for....."S-See not that bad.." He stood his ground glaring back at Elise who could only return his gaze with wild eyed disbelief.Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!"That's because there's a wall of shields protecting you and your wrinkled ass!"Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Sure enough the members of The Black Guard had formed a wall of shields covering the pair as Mortis went to work claiming he had the means to bring down their gat

Chapter: Book 2 Chapter 79Christopher walked to the giant hole in the wall he had created when trying to incinerate Markous looking out over the city breathing a heavy sigh, hanging his head low and shaking it. "What's wrong? At this rate the city is as good as yours? Shouldn't you be happy?" Brisia asked walking up the wall before hanging upside down looking out of the hole too. "See your people are already working on the third gate. Isn't this what you wished for?" "I'll admit.. I wasn't expecting to get that old bastard's approval, but this didn't pan out as I had hoped." He shrugged watching balls of fire rain down upon the noble district from the trebuchets outside the city. "Sooo you didn't want the city?" "Pftt I could give two shits less about the city. I wanted the power that dwelled down here. On that note I suppose you could say this was a success. But by the gods the more I was stuck in the presence of that asshole, the more I want to feed his head to a thousand small animals. Just gotta hope th

Chapter: Chapter 210 Elsewhere. "Sir we will be arriving shortly." "Aye. Thanks lad." An older man thanked his driver.. Sitting in the backseat of a luxurious sedan was an older man in dressed head to toe in both style and decadence. His appearance, voice and manners all refined almost to perfection, his aura commanded your attention. Yet he was currently smiling ear to ear like a giddy school boy. "It's been some time since I've seen you this excited sir. Are you sure it's okay for you to arrive without announcing yourself ahead of time?" "Bah. Now where would the fun be in that?" "Well I'm just saying sir. Someone of your stature should be recognized. You're far from a nobody." "Aye I suppose one could argue that, but I've never been one to enjoy my status. Besides there's a young man I wish to surprise." Backstage of the charity event. "Alright hurry now. We only have so much time to fix this disaster." Evelyn stated glancing back over her shoulder while maintaining a brisk pace. "Wait..

Chapter: Chapter 209Present day."Evelyn!" Tatianna cried out in excitement holding her arms out preparing for a hug. Then there was Aurora. Every time the spotlight managed to find it's way to her, her silhouette managed to shrink. But as soon as the subject changed or Tatianna managed to deflect it away from her, Aurora would begin to recover. But this moment? Her silhouette shrank so much she could barely even be seen as a shadow.'That's Evelyn Constantine! That's Evelyn Constantine!' Aurora was currently in melt down mode. Her face was a bright tomato red. It wouldn't surprise her in the least if steam was visibly bellowing from her ears.'T-Two s-super models... Wait no three! AND I LOOK LIKE THIS!? Dear god Any other day I would pay to be in the presence of these women, but why today of all days do I have to look like a train wreck!?' Aurora clenched her teeth and eyes closed trying her best to prevent tears welling up in her eyes and furthering her disappointing appearance. Her current wardrobe,

Chapter: Chapter 208"Think you can fuck with us !? Both of you can go to hell!" Sven roared charging at Collen. He was committed to his actions. Once in a while a little blood just had to be spilled. Of course it never did look good in the headlines, and would bring heat down upon all of the gangs in the area. But this was all acceptable. Police attention could be bought, and even if they were to launch an investigation, there was only one thing worse. A loss of respect. If the people you stand above don't respect you, soon the payments begin coming up short, then they'll stop altogether. Soon enough individuals, and neighborhoods will stop complying. That would leave you with two options. First uproot and find another neighborhood who doesn't know any better and crack a few skulls so to speak. The second. You crack every skull that speaks out against you. But at that point you've allowed a wound to fester, and it's only going to get worse. Instead of keeping a firm hand with one or two individuals from

Chapter: Chapter 207"Huh?" Crutches stood dumbstruck. He had never once so much as uttered a word to Sven let a alone beat him to a pulp and send his car flying into traffic. 'Shit I'm still recovering from having my ass beaten to a pulp, I'm not gonna go out looking for a fight in this condition!' Sven smirked pointing his nose in the air. "As you can see it was a close fight. After kicking his ass I even showed mercy... I was the bigger man, chose to walk away of my own free will.. Then the bastard sucker punched me! And while my head was still spinning he began raining down blow after blow. Absolutely no honor among adversaries. 'No honor among adversaries!? I was never an adversary to begin with! I mean I won't say it's something I wouldn't do, but damn! If I'm going to be accused at least allow me to throw a few punches!' He thought as his mouth hung open bringing a whole to level of dumb to his expression. "Huh?" Tatianna uttered in complete dismay. 'I expected Sven to pull some shady shit in r

Chapter: Chapter 206"So who are we looking for anyway?"...!!!'Oh shit! I hadn't even thought of that! What the hell am I going to tell Aurick!? Oh hey by the way that's the person who whooped my ass, sent my car flying into traffic, fingered me to the person who's car it hit, and the police! By the way it's also a girl who maybe weighs one hundred and ten pounds top!' Sven thought to himself, his eyes squeezed shut, clamping his hands to his head shaking it side to side. Sure Aurick was a long time friend, and if there's anyone who would possibly let this go it would be him. That being said some times friends are the ones to give you the most shit above anyone else. The closer you were, chances are the more shit you'll take."ERRr.... About that... " Sven mumbled.'Man I'll just have to bite the bullet and tell him what happened. Obviously neglecting to mention the information about how I've been extorting the boss's clients after their debts were paid.'Sven sighed and began glancing side to side loo

Chapter: Chapter 205"This is bullshit I'm telling you it wasn't my fault! RAAAAH!" Sven roared raking his dinner tray back and forth across the jail cell bars he currently found himself comfortably forced into, and when we say comfortably it was probably as comfortable as sitting on an angry porcupine. "As much as I'm enjoying these fine one star accommodations... LET ME THE FUCK OUT!""For the love of Christ all mighty will you shut up already!" An officer sitting at his desk groaned. Unfortunately he was the lowest ranked officer in their precinct therefore got the desk closest to the jail cells housing all of the lovely intoxicated and angry people who would love nothing more than to shove a stun gun up his nostril. "You know why you're in here!""No! No I don't know why I'm in here I'm telling you it's that -""It was your car that rolled onto a main road correct?""Well yes but it was -""There was an awful lot of money in your vehicle for someone who's records show as unemployed.""So what!?
