The Universe Key

by Chris Fritz

In the magical land of Emilaba the only group that can possibly keep the peace are the Zaubators. The Zaubators are a band of noble warriors who use magical weapons that give them extraordinary abilities. They are the only thing standing between the innocent people of Emilaba and the Ferean. A species of merciless giant insects that exist only to kill and destroy. As if that weren’t enough the Zaubators have another evil to fight against called the Deators. While the Zaubators use there magical weapons to protect and defend the Deators use magical weapons to dominate and conquer. By the will of their dark master Ferverous the Deators wage war against the Zaubators and they will not stop until Ferverous rules Emilaba with an iron fist. Our story focuses on Brilan a blonde 14 year old boy who wants nothing more than to be a Zaubator. He gets his wish when fate gives him a magical weapon unlike any other. A weapon called the universe key. When he shows the key to his teacher Ignis he thinks the key might be able to open an ancient door that holds an extremely powerful secret behind it. He found the door many years ago but he could never open it. Now with the universe key he has a chance. So Ignis, Brilan and his little sister Clara must go on a dangerous journey to find old friends, fight new enemies and discover a power that might just end the war between the Zaubators and the Deators before the world tears itself apart.

I really didn't like this story. It sounded like a decent story at first, but as it went on, it just got on my nerves more and more. I got to about 60 percent or so before I gave up entirely, but the amateurish writing, the bad grammar, and the wandering storyline just couldn't manage to hold my attention for long enough to get through it. I stalled at 37 percent for a long time, then tried to read the rest of it, but just couldn't manage the task. Sorry to those who liked it, but I am not counted in that number. If it gets a decent editing job, and perhaps a partial rewrite, then I'll take another look at it, as the story itself is a decent premise, it's just not done well.
