Valerik's Quest 12: The Incarnate
Valerik came awake screaming and gasping. His cassock was soaked in sweat and a terror grasped at his heart as he cried into arms that held him with so much untainted love. But somethings were greater than others and he knew that no love or hate or indifference could triumph over the terror that held him.
“What’s wrong, father?” a voice asked.
He knew who

Red wine twirled within a transparent cup made of glass and fashioned for the simple and unnecessary sake of aesthetics. By Truth, Maekil never could understand the desire to be pleasing to the eye. Perhaps it was because all his life he had been nothing but pleasing to the eye, perhaps it was not. He dropped the cup without taking a sip.He would only taste of the wine when the night was over and the morning greeted him with the light of the sun. Normally this wasn’t the case: not in his manor.

Maekil snapped his finger in recognition. “Yes,” he almost exclaimed. “The Shadow Child of the Conisoir. Even the Lords employ it to scare their children from bad deeds.” He placed a finger to his bottom lip in puzzlement. “Although, yours is different. Why is that?”“Because it is the true tale.”“And you believe this

Darkness has never truly been a thing of worry here. Basically, it’s most often dark here. Most of us don’t like it, but time is enough to make anyone adapt to it. Still, it’s not like we have much of an option. Wether it’s dark or bright or generally colorless, it wouldn’t matter, this is the life we live. We would claim we didn’t choose it, that it chose us. But I’ll be honest, we chose it as much as it chose us. Every action we ever took has led us here; at least all the actions I ever took led me here.
Aegis of the Immortal: Blood Blessed Prologue
The soft sound of falling rain beyond the orphanage walls would've served as nothing more than a resounding lullaby if only he cared to give it the appreciation it deserved. But how could he when he knew the walls only muffled the truth; the rain drops raged in anger and yet the flashing lights and growling thunder refused it their company. If he was the rain, refused the company of those he had grown acquainted to, he would be enraged, too. He listened silently, lying in the comfort of his bunk bed as the boy who slept above him tossed and turned, as he always did on rainy nights. The orphanage was a good enough home to him. He had come in a year ago, snuck in by a child he'd met on a cold night and somehow gotten a bed despite the presence of more deserving children. Still, living like this took a toll on his mind. Every morning he would wonder if it was th
Aegis of the Immortal: Blood Blessed Valerik’s Quest 1
It is said that when a sister of the convent walks, she carries with her the love and guidance of Truth. But when a man of the frock walks, he carries with him Truth's wrath.Valerik stood in line, waiting. By his side, Rive stood, snorting its frustration at its pace. Were it not for its reins in his hand, the horse would have ploughed its way into the city ahead, regardless of the massive merchant cart before it.Valerik hated the cities, coming and going, to be precise. It was how it always was in the provinces of the realm; the lines, the city guards, the requirement that he walk with his two feet on stone floors. The merchant cart ahead of him moved forth a few paces and he shuffled along, Rive following right beside him.Sometimes he wondered who hated it more: him or the horse. Rive had a habit of snapping at the guards whenever they searched them, prolonging their stay at the gates. Today, however, the horse had

Morning came in its strides. With it, the light of the sun spilled into the room. First, slow and gentle. Then demanding.Valerik had been given the room that stood in the path of the rising sun. Whether the sun sought to trample the obstacle in its path or embrace a lover after a night of exhausting passion, he did not know. As he pried his eyes open to the waking world, all he was certain of was the beauty of the sunlight as the room bathed in the glow of its kiss.Awaking with a mild ache in his head and a dryness in his mouth, he forced himself to a sitting position. His body sagged from the remains of the night's sleep. He fought to shrug it off but it stayed. So, stifling a yawn with the back of his hand, he cast his thoughts elsewhere, wondering how long a man would need to ride a horse before his legs were demanded to bow from their time on the saddle. Riding Rive for two days, stopping only to sleep when night fell, wasn't doing his

Every city has its slums, but Valerik was not in Dun for its slums as he took his eyes of the path he knew would lead him to the conisoir if he continued on it long enough. His main purpose of business laid elsewhere, a place he considered the civilized slum.A few paces under the creeping af
Aegis of the Immortal: Blood Blessed Chapter 1: The Journey
There are various things that keep a child awake in the dark of night. The excitement that comes with the memory of the day, the unrelenting urge to resume the day's unfinished games. Sometimes, it's the fear of the dirges lurking in the corner from tales mothers tell to scare naughty children into decency or simply contemplations of what complex tricks are to be had when the morning comes.For Sethlzaar, he found it was most often the darkness.
