Alle Kapitel von To love a Lich: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

June 22, 1121It was night in Wivern's Rest town. A blanket of darkness covered the entire province. The bright and warm summer Sun that commonly graced the day had long since set and in it's place, twinkling stars. It was a beautiful night for those that enjoyed the cool night breeze and stargazing. Somewhere in the bushes nearby, the chirping of crickets could be heard.Aelfric stood over the altar with shaking hands. He'd spent months preparing everything. Gone to great lengths to gather the materials he needed. Lots of sleep lost for the sake of this very moment, he'd even slain a gargantuan three headed beast. Now he waited.Where was she?

She didn’t know what woke her. She sat up straight on her wide bed, squinting her eyes so that it adjusts to the semi darkness in the room. This was starting to become a habit, one that she abhorred with the whole of her being. Every day she goes to bed late and wakes just few  minutes before full dawn with a start as if someone had called her name or tapped her. Yet each and every single time, it was just her alone in her room panting heavily. This event has been repeating itself for almost three weeks now. Although there were days when she was spared and she woke like 'a normal human being'. And despite the cold winter outside, Her sheets felt moist, wet from the sweat which still drenched her skin. Her hand went to the oval pendant of the necklace she always wore. She stroked it for a few seconds then She checked the time from the clock on

"Stop the worry Hailey, it's only a mere trip." Clair rolled her eyes. Dressed in mickey mouse T shirt and a flower patterned pyjamas slacks, She was seated on the chair in front of her vanity, painting her toe nails with nail varnish with the leg  she was currently painting on her chair.Clair was on the phone with her best friend and foster sister Hailey Fisher. Clair met Hailey in the house of Mr Patrick Fisher. Clair has never known her biological parents and has spent her entire live moving from one foster home to the other. Most of the earliest foster homes she was in was not only crowded but also their foster parents didn't care as much for them as they cared for the money the state payed them to take care of the kids. Most days, the kids were only served a measly amount of food twice a day, there were even days when they went without food. Clair ran away more than twice from these homes but there weren't that many places a seven year old could run to so she was c

PART 2The inception.A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back to or from which to look ahead.~Graham GreeneCHAPTER SIXLet's go back to where it all started. To the time when sunshine and laughter was the order of the day, to the time when they knew any better. To the beginning.****The wooden window clanged against it's frame as the wind howled and raged outside."Hurry up Beeta, we're going to be late!" Aelfric shouted, grunting his frustration."But Itzel isn't feeling too well, I have to stay and look after her until ma gets back." Beeta was Aelfric's five years old younger sister. Aelfric and Beeta lived with their mother Aurelia in a little village called Winton which was north of Wivern's Rest citadel."Well in that case, I have no other option but to leave you and go. The festival has long started and I wager they are w

The Hostel room buzzed with activity at dawn. Arcus had not told him what time to meet Coldus on Prior street, so he readied himself and set out right away. It took him roughly thirty minutes to walk to his destination, which was near the fruit merchant's house. He saw the yellowish man packing his carriage, and glimpsed yet another man helping him. He approached the two busy men. " Good day Coldus, Master Arcus wishes me to visit Melses Farm today".Coldus looked up from packing some items into the carriage. " Already? you must be a quick learner Aelfric, usually takes them months to get a trip to the farm!". Aelfric's suspicions confirmed, he simply smiled and said, " Is that so?". "Can I help you with any of this?", he asked Coldus, gesturing to the carriage. "Just finishing up here, you climb on in," said Coldus.The carriage ride was rough but enjoyable. Aelfric learned that Coldus's friend was indeed his brother Dorthus, who also sold fruit on the other side of t
