All Chapters of Book 1: Enchanter's Realm (The Cursed Demesne): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

In a barren land where multiple fissures surfaced, the cloud loomed over two creatures facing each other. No living things could be seen within the perimeter; swept clean.The armageddon had served its purpose, making the woman with red eyes grin in contentment. It had been long ago since she gazed into that blue orbs, now fainting grey."Mherkealla," she whispered. The lady, whom she called panted and fell on her knees. The wound she procured depleted her energy; she couldn't stand. Her hair dangled, but was too drained to even move a finger."Give me the book," Olga demanded. Her voice echoed, like a strong wind going with a storm. Mherkealla smirked. "I swear to protect this book with my life, Olga. If I die, I'll take it with me," Mherkealla said, hoarsely. Her consciousness was slowly fading. Another drop of blood.Olga traced Mherkealla's being and a sly smile formed from her lips. She found the bravery an obtuse act. If only Mherkealla could understand better, things wouldn

Silence. A few strand of his business cut hair fell in the middle of his deep set eyes, he arranged them emulating a shampoo model I've seen in TV commercials.I winced upon the sight and regretted that I did. His shoulders moved, followed by a long hearty laughter which reverberated inside our small home."I win again," Rob said, still giggling."I can't stand such ugly face," I reasoned, it made him laugh even more. I intend to vex him using sharp comments but it never happened. I was always the one getting riled even involving simple things. I frowned."We have the same genes. Don't you forget, all people see our resemblance and can easily distinguish we are siblings."He got a point. Hence, it made me wonder why we were still different. He, for example had a lot of friends. When I say a lot, the numbers were serious. He had friends even at the furthest corner of our district, and I can't even keep one. He loved going to school, attending seminars, joining contest and many others

My body seemed to float, like a feather being cradled by a mellow breeze and. . . wait. . . float? Feather?I instantly opened my eyes, but instead of seeing a familiar ceiling, I'm looking at a triangular shaped roof that was new to my sight. Was this lost in wonderland part two? I haven't remembered falling in a rabbit hole. Well, my mom told me stories and I regret not giving full attention before. But it was really fascinating. I mean, what's above me was made of brown leaves stitched together with mastery. I got keen eyes and impressing me would be a hard stuff but, where did they get a leaf as big as that? And second, how were they able to do that? Admirable!Okey, Rohama. You're asking no one. Better get on your feet."Geez! What am I doing drifting at the middle of this room?" I was shouting. Consternation filled my being, spawning a vacuous reaction. It was already late when I realized that I might be held as a captive. The incident flashed in my mind all at once. Gosh! Wa

"Adessa was surrounded by four more kingdoms. On its right was the Land of Paleo called Horeah."The dust followed each gestures of his hands, epitomizing something with a sinewy body and bulky muscles."They are strong and huge reaching about ten to fifteen feet."I would never wish to meet them in person, the image was scary enough. The land must be shaking having a bunch of them walking at the surface. I'd vouch they could create an earthquake by just jumping around a couple of times."This one," he pointed the area just below Horeah, "was called Zuphra, the dwellers in here are the creatures you should avoid the most."He's not kidding? I thought those humongous creatures were the ones I must evade the most. Well, better if I'd cross paths with none of the two."They are deemed traitor and no sense of loyalty. Zebuar or we label them as Night Crawlers mostly hunt at night and eat almost everything, dead or alive."It actually looked like a man squating. The hands were folded like

"I'll trust you in Yamiko's care." I studied Yamiko's reaction warily. No visible changes. Great! I almost frowned again. Surely, my mind wanted to protest but the little stunt I pulled earlier held me back. The elder might have something under his sleeve-making him end up with such decision- but I hope he reconsiders."Why won't we send her somewhere? Into the unknown? Or she seemed fit to become a living sacrifice for the Shireka?"It was a voice not coming from around. Naturally, I turned back to see who it was and hola, another perfect creation. My mouth literally gaped and my eyes stopped blinking. Like some powers were preventing me to take my gaze off her. All I did was follow her every move. Even I was dumbfounded by my own reaction. It was something different than Yamiko and the rest.The beautiful maiden walk and it didn't take long when she reached my place.She stood inches away from me. "Mhh, Purelikon would be a better choice," she added. Her gaze landed on mine an
