The morning air sank in and the cold of night slowly went away. Turion stood by the threshold of the cave watching the night turn into day. The sun’s rays began to spread across the sky, painting it a shade of magenta and light blue, the sand’s gray color turned golden, and light began to reach the mountainside. He watched the waves pull back and return, yet bringing nothing back with them. No one had asked him to guard the doors, but he had wanted to.He turned to look back into the cave. Nim...

"He looks... human," said Valruin softly, his blood-stained sword dripping to his side.Camlhach shook his head. "Aye, but he was not so a moment ago."Thinidiel fixed his eyes on the young man, Silme sitting on his shoulder doing the same. His face turned serious as he kneeled to analyze the body, his eyes met Nimtar's. The queen also kneeled to look at the boy. "He must have been under some sort of spell," Thinidiel spoke almost whispering."His birth was not a wicked one. Now I see this," rep...

They were a twisted hybrid looking species of human and reptile, with arms and legs that ended in sharp, clawed extremities, and a thick long tail protruded from their lower backs. They stood armed and armored on the path to the cave. Camlhach and Valruin stopped right in front of them, their shiny slitted eyes fixed on the princes.“We mean you no harm,” spoke Camlhach, raising both hands for the lizard people to see. Silme flew back swiftly towards the Erathiel and sat on the prince’s should...

CHAPTER 3
THE DESERT
They had never seen a desert before; their home had been quite different from such a barren land. Green forests and pristine rivers overran Eidelvar, but it had all faded under Bragolthar’s foul magic. The heat was almost unbearable on their scalps, but the wagons they assembled would help with that. The desert looked endless with dunes and mountains decorating the sand. They would have to choose a path soon for they could not stay with the little provisions they had. While...

2 THE HARBOR

A cross the sparkling Enchanted Sea, sailed a ship whose white sails shone like flames of pure light. It was great in stature, twice that of a regular vessel, and bore two large masts that overtowered the vast deck like replicas of heavenly clouds. The shape of a beautiful golden maiden sat carved at its head, her delicate wooden arms outstretched towards the sapphire sky. It was a majestic ship but its body now carried the scars of the storm and those aboard did as well. They h...

I know I usually write short stories here and some experience or two, but the whole RAPE situation still shocks me as something common, hell, something I've even had nightmares about. It's so common and it's so irrational for it to be so. I just can't sit and not say anything about the matter 'cause it does matter.
Teaching about respect is ESSENTIAL. Rape is a reality, it is something that's happening every day to both men and women, young or old, but mainly to women.
Luckily, I am not a vict...

1 THE STORM

T he storm was the fiercest they had ever beheld. It was wave against wave and wave against ship. Rain poured brutally from dark clouds over the decks of the three ships, blinding all aboard who tried their best to stand their ground. Some helped evacuate the water so it would not sink their ship and others looked after the wounded as the harsh wind tattered the once white sails, which now hung eerily from above.    “Hold on!” cried out Isilen, who with great strength...

Hello all,

I hope everyone is doing well and that you've been enjoying my recent short stories. As you've probably read before, I started a fantasy series called "The Battle of the Erathiel" and have released the first book "Across the Enchanted Sea". In order to get a bigger audience and for more people to get to know the story of the Erathiel, I have decided to post the entire first book here. I'll start out with Chapter 1 and go on from there. I hope to get some response, perhaps a comment...

This is the one with the real ending, which after a bit of thinking, I decided to share even though it's not as 'nice'. Though, I don't think any bit of this story can be labeled as 'nice'. The story changes only in the part where lil Jemma is found.
