"Kerik! Kerik!"
I could hear a voice faintly crying out.
That was strange. My name was being called.
"Kerik!" The voice became a little louder.
It was just a dream. Nothing was real. Finally I could wake up.
"Kerik!" Ragnila screamed out shaking my shoulders.
No. It was all real. Fenrel had just vaporized into thin air and Tara.. She was still gone.
"He's, he's,he's-" Staring blankly at Ragnila as I fumbled for the right words,wishing everything could just made sense. I felt a lump in my throat as I was already misty-eyed. No. I fought against the urge to cry. I had to do something. Anything else but to cry.
"Kerik. I saw what happened,I know it was intense but I know how to help. Let me help,please. I know who took Tara." She babbled on,but got my attention when she mention Tara.
"Who?"
"I don't know exactly but I think-"
"Hold on
"Careful with that..""Don't.."I woke up to the muffled sound hushed from - very close by. I hadn't met the owners of those voices but I already knew I hated them. Who goes around disturbing other in their sleep. I allowed my body turn overed preparing for another round of sleep. The tickling of damp grasses on the uneven ground,chattering of squirrel and the melodious birds singing..Where was I? I jumped up with my eyes fully opened scanning the environment I'd found myself in. I observed Ragnila still sleeping peacefully like an angel,next to a lizard. I advanced forward to wake her, chasing the lizard away. I hated those creepy slimy creatures. Remembering our visit with Angela,I figured I was finally in the land of the dead. Angela had killed us.
Tell me if a person falls apart alone in the dark,does it make any sound? And let's say it does,is it as loud and devastating as a decaying broken heart when it's finally found? Or is the sound a soft strangulation hidden that we all miss the time behind words like 'I'm fine'?Nila had mention earlier that Tara's necklace just fell on the floor and she didn't wanted to return it yet because she was afraid of how I'd react."I found it, and I knew I should have rightfully returned it but.. I'm sorry Kerik. You just weren't in a stabilized form to have received it yet"Maybe she was right after all. Tara meant the whole world to me and she still does. My only motivation for living. Imagine if your most precious possession; your mother,father,sibling,best friend or even your dog disappeared in your presence,and you. You felt t
"You are weak my friend!" Irises said as she threw her short knives at me. She just stretched her hands forward and boom! The knives came out. I didn't understand the magic of how that happened.She mentioned her name was Irises and her mission on finding the last of the dragon stone to return to her master. How powerful was this necklace anyway? I didn't know. Besides she didn't really offered me much time to think about that.I quickly bowed dodging the released knifes that floated up in thin air,ordered to chop off my head. For a woman named Irises,she was nothing like her name. Instead she had one task only. To get this necklace off my neck however means necessary. Even if that meant killing who or what ever gets in her way."Surrender at once! I wonder why our gel doesn't work on you." She paused for a moment,then continued her hunting."Why do you need this necklace?""I don't ne

My best dreams and worst nightmares had the same people in it. I knew that from day one, but sometimes when you're desperate and you don't care – the devil recognises your soul the most."Your sister?" The words came out without any backups. Nila only nodded to my question, burying her face down to avoid further questions."Well nice to hear but we don't have time for family reunion here." Kedar stepped forward cutting in between Nila and I. "Pendragon sent you to us, didn't she?" She was ready to talk business and I was glad for that."Yes." I replied. "I need to find my sister." I added immediately."Firstly, when was the last time you had a bath?" She eyed me from head to toes as her question pierced me like a sharp nail. She was right. I glanced down on what was supposed to look like a sandal and trust me, you do not want to see what I saw. I wondered if those dirty feet down there were
I lost myself somewhere.Life is funny, isn't it? Just when you think you have it all figured out. After you begin to plan something and you know the exact direction you're headed to. Then the paths change. All the signs you thought you had disappear. The wind blows the other way. North is suddenly South, East is West, your left is right and you're just ... Lost.This was the end for me. Everything I'd ever lived for, the only part of me that was worth dying for, was dead. I wasn't sure this was a world I belonged in anymore. But one thing was certain. I didn't want to wake up again. It would be best if I'd just died. That way it would all be over. I failed. So it was my punishment to die, because I deserved it.Lost in my own thoughts I slowly laid down on the dirty ground, and drowned in my misery. It was the end of me. My eyes struggled to obey me as I willed them to fall asleep, into a dee
"We meet again, child."Indeed we did. I was in a throne room, surrounded by warriors of the dead. It was funny to me at first, all the creatures around me; about nine or ten, all carried a light in their hands. No. More like a purple fire, lighting directly from what you could call hands. One of them had his head on his right hand, and then the fire on the other. Another one looked right at me but I couldn't see his face. Even though I just knew he was staring at me. Black wounds appeared all over his body making him seem like he recently got stabbed in every part of his body. Then I noticed those creepy wounds were his eyes. The bloody hell! His eyes popped out of every part of him. Many other strange looking beings stood still in the room. One was even a snake. An entire snake but with hands, about six of them, all holding the same bloody fire."It surprises you, doesn't it?" His voice boomed, sending cold chills through my body. How could an ave
