2021-09-30 00:35:01Peru groaned hard as he came to.
A splitting headache hit him, making his head bang like there was a blacksmith hitting iron against an anvil within his head. Some people were shouting, he thought, as he struggled to open his eyes.
Peru finally opened his eye, only to be lost for long seconds. He was in the middle of a raging battle.
“Awake boy?” A voice asked and a face looked down at him. It was Uncle Kunle.
The whole event in the corridor slammed back at him.
“You’re just right on time,” Uncle Kunle was saying. He grabbed him heavily and turned Peru’s gaze towards the battlefield.
Peru’s eyes widened as he watched, tongue-tied for long minutes.
They were still on their estate grounds, in the forest around the borders where his father had earlier sent his brother to battle the shadow wolves who were said to have infiltrated their lands.
His brother and

Scar jerked up from the bed, sweating heavily. “Father!” he screamed, rushing to find his father… to save him… or anything.A hand held Scar firmly, and he struggled hard against his assailant.“Darell.”It was like cold water poured upon him, jolting him to full wakefulness. Scar ceased his struggles and allowed his eyes to be accustomed to his surroundings. Simi was sitting on the bed beside him, and a middle-aged Omega servant, Moses.Scar groaned at the splitting headache that hit him, raising a hand to his head.“Young master, are you all right?” Moses held him by the sides and asked.“Don’t call me that…” Scar hissed, pushing Moses’s hands off him as he struggled to his feet.“Darell…” Simi tried to stop him from standing, but seeing he would not accept, she supported him to his feet. “You need to rest Darell,&rd

It was totally dark. Everyone apart from the guards on watch and patrol had probably gone to sleep when Scar picked his body slowly, standing to his feet. He groaned, staggering for a moment before he got a feel of his feet.Scar could not think coherently at the moment. Reno was gone!He had called for him, felt for him all through the torture with Alpha Toni, but nothing came forth. There was only darkness where Reno should have been, and then the agony from the torture felt ten times what it usually was.Scar slowly made his way home.

The scimitars flowed one into another as she struck at the beast in front of her, fast. The weapons were like an extension of her hands, and with the addition of her magic she was once again in her element; at one with the world. Her skin glowed gold where the arcane marks appeared, signifying the magic running through her like opium and almost making her giddy. But she held the magic tight to her with powerful control born from years of training and discipline. She feinted to the right as the beast struck for her face, its inhuman growl accompanied by a scent of earth. It knew it was fighting a losing battle and

The very first day she arrived at Orun Isu, it was Alake who brought her. Her grandmother was very busy and had left her with Alake’s family in the real world for three days, which was not unusual, and that night Alake had come to her bedside telling her they had to go somewhere before bringing her here through teleportation. Tara remembered that she was still hurting, the pain of her parent’s death was still very raw, but for a moment her arrival at Orun Isu, a world of its own with gits reat beatific sights had taken her mind away from the pain.

The whole house had been noisy ever since her grandmother died, too loud for her liking.To say that when her grandmother was still alive she spent every day wishing for anything other than the deathly quiet that usually filled the halls and grounds of their mansion. In the whole house with its fifteen rooms, there used to be only her, her grandmother, the maid Sade, Ben the housekeeper, and Ireti who doubled as the gardener and gateman; and all of them were witches too.Now the halls and their compound were filled with strangers, people who had come to pay their last respect to her grandmother. The majority of these people were low-ranked witches who have been helped one way or the other by their family or are currently working in one of their numerous companies, while others were normal people and dignitaries who also had certain affiliations with them.

“Werewolves! How is that even possible?” Anu scoffed, making the younger battlemages around her burst into laughter.“This is not even the time for that!” Tara turned a heated gaze at her. The look she gave her was so powerful that it silenced everyone laughing, and for the first time, Anu drew back.“Are you here to stand around like fools or to join the search for clues?” Tara barked at the battlemages who mumbled incoherently and quickly beat a hasty retreat, heading deep into the forest.It was dark now. The burial ended hours ago, the fake body of her grandmother deep in the ground, and the gravesite empty. Witches prowled the whole area, searching for clues with their magic, and the security guards who watched the place had been put to sleep with magic so t

He didn’t know who or what he was, floating in the clouds from one clump of snow-white cloud to a darker cluster which rained hail, flashed lightning, and struck loud booming thunder that wanted to destroy him.It started with the boy. He was not sure who or what the boy was, but as he followed the boy around, laughed with him, cried with him, and now he was tired. He wanted to just let go, to rest. But they would not let him be. The darkness would not leave him.Time and time again he wanted to surrender to the darkness, but even the darkness would not take him. And it would not leave him.The boy was calling as the dark clouds rushed fast to swallow him.He screamed out loud as the darkness sank him, biting seep to his soul. And then the reels started over again.*The boy was a young lad with a lanky frame, innocent, curious eyes, and a trusting heart. His name was Peru Ronald, the second son

The heavy door opened for Tara and she stepped into the hall. The fire lamps hanging on the pillars and wall of the hall all lit up as one, burning in different multicolored fires that cast the whole surroundings in a soft ethereal atmosphere.She walked steadily on the smooth cobbled floor of the hall with the feeling that someone was beside her, giving her moral support, but she knew it was not really so. Two rows of tall, wide chairs lined both sides of the hall, and she passed through them till she arrived before the raised platform up front where a wooden throne-like chair sat.Tara stood before the chair for long moments, picturing her grandmother seated regally on the seat and giving out commands. The tears trailed slowly down her cheek, and deep sorrow encompassed her. For long moments she stood there, crying until her heart felt empty.“I must be strong,” she affirmed to herself and wiped her tears, taking the last step to the chair. She tur

Tara arrived five hours early with Ella at Orun Isu for the meeting. She left a note in her room for Boma and Alake who she had lied to that she was going to sleep, and instructed to wake her in three hours, before getting Ella to bring her here.“Are you sure this is okay? You promised that they could come with you,” Ella said as soon as they appeared before the path into Orun Isu. They were seemingly standing on air, and the gateway was merely a transparent green shield that reached as far and wide as the eyes could see.Tara scoffed. “I already left a note for them to meet me here. I just want to walk around a bit and think before the meeting begins. You can go back now; I’ll see you after the meeting.” Tara moved to continue down the path into Orun Isu but stopped as Ella held her hand.“Why did you need me to teleport you here again? You could have just done so by yourself without my help,” Ella asked with a look of

Everywhere was dead silent, and the atmosphere dark and foreboding. There was neither moon nor stars in the sky, making the darkness thick and seemingly impenetrable.Tara stood alone in the courtyard, practicing within the darkness with her grandmother’s short sword, now her own. She had no idea of time or her environment as she went through the forms, slowly, steadily, just like her Grandmother had taught her. She could visualize her Grandmother’s voice telling her how to move during those training sessions they had together.Tara directed all the emotions broiling within her into the seemingly incoherent moves, immersing herself to a point that nothing else existed except the mantra her grandmother usually recited whenever she went through these secret moves.“One step begins the dan

Scar hurried through the servants’ corridor to the dining hall, half running to keep up with the time. All the omegas ignored him as if he never existed as he passed by them, quickly sidestepping and giving him clear distance anytime it seem like he came too close. It was as if he had a transferrable disease. But their attitude was the least worries on his mind as he half-ran to the dining where he had been assigned to clean. Simi had been called to the kitchens as soon as they got to the servant’s quarters, and he wouldn’t see her until late in the night or dawn, after cleaning. “Watch where you are going, fool!” a short stocky woman who was carrying a large steaming bowl of soup growled, coming out from the intersection of the kitchens. It was the principal cook, Ma Afuo, the fourth command in the kitchens. Three young maids followed behind her, all carrying pots of different types of stews. “Sorry,” Scar murmured. Ma Afuo ignored him and continued her way,
