All Chapters of Sunbringer: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Nio’s story His stay at the academy was not without problems. Unfortunately for him, his cousin Teria’n attended the same academy. And Teria’n used every opportunity to insult and abuse the boy. With no father and grandfather in sight, Teria'n could do whatever he wanted. Whether it was a brutal comment or a kick in the ass, Teria’n and his sly group of wealthy thugs made Nio’s life difficult. But Nio couldn't fight back. Lower staff were not allowed to talk or communicate with students in any way. That would mean immediate dismissal. Nio used the only possible solution available to him. He avoided them as best he could.However, his cousin's bullying also had a positive side. While all the other boys and girls in the academy laughed and even cheered as Teria’n tortured him, one girl did not. Her name was Thea and to Nio she was the most beautiful creature in all of Raal. She was the same age as him, se

Sunbringer As Nio travelled toward Canestor, he was unaware of the chaos he had created after breaking the magic bubble around Raal. After so much time the sun was moving again. In a split second, he changed something that most thought was immutable. The lands immersed in darkness were again pampered by the warm rays of the sun and people who had never seen the night were greeted by new and wondrous colours of the sunrise.After the initial shock and fear, and once the sky did not fall, the creatures in Raal began to adapt to the new situation. But Raal's rulers were not happy. At first, they didn’t know howand why this happened, whether the spell had finally faded or there was some new force they had to deal with. Or maybe an old force with a new weapon. No, they were not happy at all. The spy networks dug tirelessly, trying to find the culprit or culprits for the new situation, but failed.The high council of the elve

Nio’s story He was falling. His instincts kicked in and he desperately tried to grab the walls of the well. But there was nothing to grab. The interior of the well was smooth and flat. He closed his eyes and waited for the end. But the end did not come. He just kept falling and falling. He could not see anything and the well seemed to have no end.At first his body pounded against the walls, leaving him with more and more bruises, but after a while the well got wider. Even his fall began to slow. The air was much denser and unusually threatening.Nio tried not to think about Thea, but his broken heart just couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened, over and over again. He didn't understand. She loved him; he knew she loved him. And yet she killed him. Smiling.He felt a change in the air and something clawed at his leg. He felt a sharp pain and blood gushed from the newly formed wound. He tried to hit his at

Nio’s story Nio stared at the gargantuan creature and fear gripped his heart. When he saw his huge hands and claws, he realized that his saviour was also his attacker."Now, now, elf. See? Life is ever so complicated, is it not?”: the creature said almost lazily."You're the one who attacked me, aren't you? But, but why? Why bring me to the brink of death just to save me?”: said Nio, feeling more confused and scared than ever."Ah, I was hungry. And when I felt a fly in the web, I went for it. Since I'm in this hole, hmm, who knows ... One hundred years, five hundred, more ... Time is not something you can keep track of down here. Anyway, I was very, very hungry. And just so you know, you are the one who woke me up. I slept blissfully, then bam, a little tasty elf above me, getting closer and closer.”: the creature responded with a big grin on its face.The monster had two curved black horns on

Nio’s story One day, Dem announced in his usual rugged and hoarse voice that Nio was ready for the final step. He understood most of the elements well and Dem had only one more thing to teach him. Synergy. It was the purest and most powerful source of magic. Only those who have the ‘all spark’ could perform such magic. Instead of focusing his magic on one element, Nio had to learn how to focus his magic on all of them. It was also the hardest magic to master.He practiced on his surroundings. He focused first on the fire burning in the corner, and then on the small rock protruding from the wall. Then he added a piece of moss. Then a small worm in the ground. It seemed impossible. It was not. Just extremely difficult. As Dem taught him over and over again, Nio found his centre. And a whole new world opened up to him.He felt different energies in all the things around him, and as he focused more and more, something
