Sacrificial Song

Beberapa hari setelah Kaisar Song Renzong mengumumkan Pangeran Zhao Kong menjadi Putra Mahkota, guncangan besar terjadi di Ibukota. Pangeran Zhao Kong terbunuh. Sebelum kejadian tersebut terjadi, Pangeran Zhao Kong meminta bantuan Empat Pendekar Wangi untuk membawa tiga anaknya yang masih kecil, Zhao Shing (14 tahun), dan si kembar berbeda jenis, Zhao Ming dan Zhao Rong (5 tahun) pergi meninggalkan Bianjing. Tokoh utama dalam cerita ini adalah Zhao Shing, putra pertama Pangeran Mahkota Zhao Kong. Saat berusia empat tahun Zhao Shing atau Chiu Kang (nama samaran) terjatuh dari kereta kuda yang mematahkan tulang leher dan punggungnya sangat parah, sehingga dia hampir mati. Karena harus bertindah cepat demi menyelamatkan anaknya, Pangeran Zhao Kong terpaksa menyalurkan tenaga dalamnya agar Zhao Shing bisa bertahan hidup. Untuk menyambung tulang-tulang yang terpisah, Pangeran Zhao Kong setiap bulan menyalurkan tenaga dalamnya. Namun, beberapa tahun kemudian tubuh Zhao Shing tidak lagi dapat menahan besarnya tenaga dalam di tubuhnya, sehingga usianya diperkirakan tidak akan bertahan lama lagi. Bagaimana Zhao Shing akan mengatasi masalah yang menganggu tubuhnya itu? Apakah dia akan mati, atau malah menjadi seorang pendekar besar di dunia persilatan? Dan, mampukan dia mendapatkan haknya kembali sebagai pewaris takhta Kekaisaran Song yang sah?

Jenea was sent by her father to choose who among from the four Song's will be her partner; Liesel, Lucas, Dave and Dylan. While living under the same roof with the Song Family she found out the past that ruined their family.

Le jour de la cérémonie de marquage, j'attendais des fleurs et l'engagement, mais c'était la terrible nouvelle qui est arrivée : Liam, mon compagnon, avait disparu dans une tempête de neige, son corps jamais retrouvé. Je perdais mon amour, et le louveteau dans mon ventre perdait son père. Le chagrin a failli m'emporter, mais tous me répétaient : « Aurora, prends sur toi... Fais-le au moins pour ton enfant. » Le jour des funérailles, Jasper, le frère jumeau de Liam, est revenu des frontières avec sa compagne. Chaque fois que je voyais son visage, si semblable à celui de Liam, mon cœur se tordait de douleur. Jusqu'à cette nuit où j'ai entendu par hasard ma belle-mère Monique parler à Jasper : « Liam, tu dois continuer ainsi. Jasper est mort pour te sauver. Ta belle-sœur traverse une période difficile. Attends qu'elle accouche et trouve du réconfort, puis tu officialiseras ton union avec Aurora. » Un silence, puis la voix masculine a répondu : « Mais Aurora... Elle porte mon enfant. » Monique a soupiré : « Aurora est forte et compréhensive. Elle nous comprendra. » Liam, résigné, a murmuré : « D'accord... Je ferai comme tu dis. » C'était alors que j'ai compris : Liam n'était jamais mort. Ce « Jasper » devant moi... c'était LUI ! Le cœur en miettes, j'ai appelé mon frère Brice, dans une meute du Sud : « Brice, je veux rentrer. Liam est mort... Je n'ai plus rien à faire ici. »

Mon compagnon Éthan, un Oméga sans loup, que personne ne veut embaucher comme employé régulier, nous fait vivre dans la pauvreté, mais je suis convaincue que notre amour nous permettra de surmonter toutes les difficultés. La septième année après mon accouplement avec Éthan, en raison de la faim, mon fils Théo et moi passons la nuit à chercher de la nourriture dans les poubelles. Théo fouille une poubelle rapidement et doucement, il trouve habilement de la nourriture et me dit joyeusement : « Maman, cette poubelle appartient à un restaurant Michelin, la nourriture qui s'y trouve est fraîche et délicieuse, ramenons-la à papa pour qu'il la goûte ! » Le lendemain, je mets mes vêtements les plus décents, qui ont été décolorés par trop de lavages, et j'essaie de postuler pour un poste de nettoyage dans ce restaurant. Si je réussis l'entretien, je pourrais au moins ramener les restes de nourriture à la maison avant qu'ils ne soient jetés à la poubelle. Mais quand je lève les yeux, je vois Éthan sortir d'une limousine de dizaines de millions d'euros, suivi d'une mère et d'un fils luxueusement vêtus. Je reconnais la femme comme étant Miranda, l'amie d'enfance d'Éthan. Le patron s'excuse : « Je suis désolé, Madame Chantal, Alpha Éthan a réservé tout le restaurant pour Miranda aujourd'hui, j'ai dû me concentrer sur le service et je n'ai pas le temps de faire un entretien avec vous. Vous pourrez revenir une autre fois. » A ce moment-là, mon fils et moi nous figeons sur place tous les deux.

Asalea's eyes narrowed. She can guess that the event is a wedding ceremony. So, she will be attending a wedding occasion? "Whose wedding is this?” she asked the man who fetched her. “Yours, Madam.”He said and then got something inside his paper bag. “Please wear this,” the man said handing her a black veil with a tiara in it, beautifully adorned with black diamonds. “What did you say?!” Asalea gasped in surprise. “This is your wedding Madam.” The young man repeated his statement. “Who shall I be marrying?” with narrowed eyes, Asalea asked again. “You will know later on. Please be ready Madam. The wedding march will start.” Then the man step aside and motioned her to walk forward when the wedding march song started to fill the whole astrodome.

Getting nearer the altar, she saw the back of a man standing in front. Asalea surmises that he might be her groom. “Hmm, not bad,” she murmured. Slowly the man turned his back and faced her when she was already walking almost beside him. Asalea's eyes grew big when she recognized the man. “Hello, my pretty vampy.” He whispered, intensely looking at her with his ocean-like deep blue eyes.

A decade of planning culminates in a nearly bloodless coup in the Kingdom of Aleghor. King Benedict takes the throne with the intention of eradicating the corruption which was synonymous with the rule and name of his predecessor, King Atomas. It is a task that proves to be harder than overthrowing the kingdom itself and while Benedict sometimes compromises his values while acting with the best intentions, his actions will take their toll on himself and those who support him. When loyalties start to fall into question and control starts to slip away from Benedict, how far will he go to ensure the survival of his dream to eradicate the corruption and bring peace to all men in the kingdom? How far and long will the loyalty and love of his supporters last? This fantasy is set in a city against the backdrop of a city similar to Pompeii and the volcano, Vesuvius. A character similar to Samson in the bible helps to create an epic fantasy story including romance and tragedy while fundamentally following a storyline inspired by Cold Play's song of the same name. With the events similar to the life of Samson described in this novel, do not expect this story to be religious. It isn't. It is also only one part of the overall story. It is also not a retelling of the end of Pompeii.
