Novels by Sher Reev

Lyanna was lying on her bed, slowly recovering from the old wounds."The doctor says you will be free to go in a few days."Beside her bed was Andrew Henshaw, comforting her to a good discharge. He had always been there for her in the absence of her father, more than her brother could ever even if he tried.Lyanna smiled back at him. He was such an angel, she thought."Andrew..." She muttered, craving his attention. "What is it..." He responded as soon as he lifted his head, seeing the look of displease spread across the lines of her face."I am sorry for what happened to your father..." She had always wanted to say that since the moment she discovered that her father and his friend were really the ones who had taken Henshaw's life back then. "I am sorry for everything my father did to your family..."He put a finger on her lips. "That is gone now. We are now here together. Friends. Together. Forever."His smile was enough to convince her to be happy. He was the best thing she had k

"I am sorry about this. I will make sure to find him...""That boy stole my money. He walked into my house and stole my money!!" Albert Bradbury was in a rage as he recounted what Howard Smith had done. The boy had the guts to infiltrate into his home and escape with an extreme amount of money."There is nowhere he can go or run to. And there is nothing he can do with that amount of money. We will find him, and we will recover your money." Diego assured, still trying to calm down the anger of Bradbury.Adam Bradbury sat at a far corner of the living room. He was still in shock and horror over what happened the night before. The knife placed on his throat, threatening to slash through. He could feel the red sores which developed along the lines of his neck.Also in shock was Adam's mother, Stella Bradbury. She was also struggling to fully understand what had happened the night before. Worse, she could not understand what was happening right now. Who were these strange men? And why had

The successful businessman, whose profits had gone on a whole new level of rise since the past few months was in his house, having a glass with his wife and his son, Adam Bradbury. Albert was filled with smiles and laughter, clinking his glass cup with that of his family, recounting his success story to them both, hoping that his son would learn a few things and take inspiration from his achievements."A man who wants success must be ready to ignore all attachments. You have to keep an open eye, always on focus. Only then can you see the tiniest opportunities the very moment they appear." He schooled, smiling.Albert had sent away his bodyguards and protectors from the room. He just wanted to have an alone time with his family since that rarely ever happened in their life. He felt tonight should be a special night, but faith would have it, he could not have picked a worse day than that particular day.Howard Smith peeped from beneath the curtains. He had found his way and outsmarted t

"The case today. Accused, Andre... No last name. Versus the state"."This man has committed a horrible crime against our nation, against me and you. A heinous transgression upon a loyal citizen is a heinous transgression against the whole of us. He does not even have a lawyer, and that goes to show you how evil he has been proven. You know. I know. Everybody knows. No one wants to waste their time and integrity standing for him. In my opinion, he has already been condemned in the heart of the world, how balanced would it be if he were to be condemned by the hands of the law.""Mister Andre, after carefully considering the evidence put forward to the court and listening to the presentation of one lawyer, I believe this court has more than sufficient information to pass judgment on this case.""The court sentences Mister Andre to a long term of fifty years in prison. Meanwhile, if any other acts of crime or any disturbance of peace is detected from Mister Andre during tbe first thirty y

"Where are you Andre, we are about to move". Guerrero said through the phone.Andre was just a few minutes left to the spot where they had agreed to meet. It was a seaside location, where illegal boats would usually set sail. Then the boat would travel a far distance up to the middle of the sea where a bigger ship would be waiting.Along with the passengers of the other smaller boats which had come from different part of the cities just for the same purpose of transmitting people in secret, the people in the boat would be drafted into the bigger ship and the boats would return to the seaside.This was also done at other parts of the world, in other countries. Each boat would know the right time to leave the seaside in order to meet the ship at the predetermined location, and Guerrero did not want to miss that time.Andre and his daughter were not the only person who were trying to leave Twillightoria. There were other people too, and unlike Andre who simply just asked for a favour, th

"Welcome, my friend! It is really pleasure to see your old face once more. Is this your beautiful daughter? May I say she looks just like her mother? Too much, I tell you. Too much."Guerrero welcomed Andre with smiles and hugs. He seemed really glad to have the honour of saving Andre and helping him out of the country."Everything is set, my friend. The boat is ready, the sailors are waiting. All that remains is for you to step into the boat and set sail to freedom."Andre understood his words well, but he was no longer anxious to leave at this point."Diego and my son are still behind. We need to rescue them first, only then can I go anywhere."Guerrero frowned. "That does not make any sense, Andre. Diego knew what he was walking into when he decided to help you in your foolish mission. I am sure he wants you to leave now that you can, you do not want to get caught too. Now that would be too much a loss for anyone of us to bear. And your son? I heard news about your son. He seems to

The tension has sparkled to tall heights within the hearts of Percival and Agnos, the son of the undying witch. Together, they sought to know what Daella had in the dark with the red king. "We should find out what it is they are discussing." Percival said as soon as he had pulled Agnos to his side, away from Brienne the beauty.But that did not stop the tavern girl from scooping her ears onto the most quiet air around her, just in case their secret words would escape in her direction."This is our chance to succeed in this quest. If we find a way to know his plans from here, it may save us the journey of a thousand miles." It was true what Percival perceived. Zathryon may be helping them by his being in that place. What if he would spill his evil ambitions against the king's army in that one meeting? Then the prince and the general, with the rest of their men might be able to return with their lives."You believe that the princess is a part of his plans?" Agnos murmured, still bewild

"My heart is blessed to another. There is none of it you can own". Daella said into the red face of Zathryon.Zathryon released a slight smile, reaching his face again into the cup lifted before him. He could sense her heart burning with rage for him, and he wondered why she was still seated before him."Why have you not told the world about me?" He asked her. "Your father, his lords and soldiers. A word from you and your people may stand a chance in defeating me. Believe me, if I am dead, my cause is too. My demons will not fight without my command. And no command shall I give with my head off my shoudlers"."But will you actually stay dead?" She returned to him a question in place of an answer after which the red king wore a pink smile. Then Daella proceeded, saying, "When I put you down, you will never again be able to rise. It will be forever."Her words would indulge a rustle of fear in the heart of any person especially with the way she chose to utter them. But Zathryon was not

The mother of witches stood before the huge waves of the ocean, staring into their vastness as though she could see the future written in their ever rising currents.Behind her was her closest sister, Teresa the second in rank of the witches. Or the second sister as they were called. Teresa knew very well what Marina was thinking about. She knew her so well that she could almost read her mind."The princess of Meredith". Teresa started, taking her place beside Marina and joining her in the sight seeing of the waters. "What will you do about her?"The waters raised to huge heights and dropped again with force, letting away huge splashes and smashes. The waves kept roaring with the wind, but none a single drop was fierce enough to cast a daint on the clothings of the two witches."She has brought these evils upon us, but the waters show us nothing of her future. We know not what problems she shall bring upon us next." Teresa continued. "Her mother once was a bone in our necks of ice, an

Daella walked up the stairs with her face closed to the ground. She did not expect that she would encounter Percival at this tavern."What has he come to do here?" She wondered, climbing up the stairs. He came so close to seeing her face when she collided with him. That would have been a disaster; No one should know that she was meeting with anybody today.As she appeared before him, her host pointed to her a place before him to sit."Please, princess. Sit". He said, rising to pull the little chair before her table so she could sit. After that, he returned to his own place opposite Daella."The entire kingdom is on the lookout for you. My father has developed sleepless nights and my brother is riding with an army to fight you. But you are here, within the sniff of our own noses, drinking and smiling as if all is well". She began, staring in his red eyes."But all is well". He replied. "The wine here is good. The air is nice too. And I have become more popular with the women of Meredit

While the witches paid their last respect to Ircane, her body laid within her cave of flowers. Her son Agnos sat beside it in tears while Percival stood by his side, consoling his loss.Her body now lay beside the little stream of water that flowed in the cave, adorned by the flowers she had nurtured for all her years. There she would stay for years to come without decay.Ircane's body had vanished mysteriously from Ghosti'dor the moment she breathed her last. Anyone would have thought it was the work of Ul Thera, but the wizard was no where to be found.Agnos had thought that his mother would return with the wizard who was his father by her side for he did not know his name nor could he recognize his face. But what he got was only disappointment. His mother, who was supposed to have learnt the art of immortality, dead before him. No wizard, no father. He was now completely alone in his world of mystery. Not completely alone anyway. Percival put a hand on his shoulder."I'm sorry th

In Hayden, Cynthy had almost lost her dear life. She barely escaped from the magical grips of the tall and powerful man who tried to prevent her from entering her new life of freedom.He had appeared from nowhere and offered her revenge."The king of Meredith is neither just nor grateful," he had said. "Is he not deserving of punishment?"A question to which she could not find a voice to reply since her strength was numb and her tongue seemed tied by whatever magical powers this man possessed."Oh! Do you want to decline my offer? I know that the desire for revenge still dominates your heart from within. Why must you deprive yourself of such justice?"She struggled to look in his eyes. His magic had a stronger hold than the thickest chains.And she mumbled, forcefully but audibly. "L-o-v-e".Zathryon chuckled. "Oh love, our excuse for being weak. You know, I also believe in love. In truth, I have a lover among your kind. But at the same time, I know of some good ways through which lov

As Shadow Man, I had fought against several types of dangerous criminals. Think about the most vicious, most miserable and most toxic superhero environment, that would be Twilightoria. And every other night, I was out there in the city, shining in the knight's armor, keeping things in order. Despite the sinister records of each one of my adversaries, Pedro Don Piero was not in the same bracket.The mutant control officer was just exactly as they called him, a mutant expert. On his sleeves were several tricks. Every time I thought I was getting the upper hand, he would come up with something sinister, something tech like which prevented me from using my abilities to the maximum. He was just human, but with the weapons he had access to, a mutant was no huge threat."You! It is my destiny to arrest you!" Piero screamed at intervals as I tried to maintain my sanity. All the weapons were stored in his briefcase. And no matter how many times he took out something from there, the case was ne

The day was going peacefully, I mean apart from the tension flying in the air and the police officers crawling on land. Everything else was calm and cool. There was no mutant yet, no emergencies. And we was on the roof, waiting. Until the alarms sounded."Emergency! Emergency! All units stay alert. Hospital ward infiltrated! Patient attacked!"Ashley walked up beside me. "Something has definitely happened." She said.I listened, using my shadow abilities. Inspector Hawkings was fuming to someone. "How did this happen?! I told you that nobody was allowed to see him!""But we are his parents! Are we not meant to speak to our son, give him some comfort?" The woman was in tears. Definitely Terry's mom.I heard Hawkings sigh. He asked for Piero, but the officers say Piero is nowhere to be found. Then in a fit of frustration, he requested his phone be brought to him."Shadow Man.""Inspector Hawkings.""I think you were right. The boy is dead and he was murdered with a knife. The killer is

"What is plan B?""Shadow Man.""How do we get through to him? Nobody even knows who he is!" Dylan was much concerned over the phone."Well, I have his phone number." I smiled.In the next few minutes, I was standing over Twilightoria, on the tallest roof in the city. Ashley Quill was beside me, looking as dangerous as she was cute."Are you sure this is gonna work?" Her hair blew back continuously as the wind passed."Let's find out." I dialled a number using a phone that Ashley brought but didn't buy, off the jacket of a man on the street. A necessary crime."Who is this?" Piero had a hard and cold voice, even on phone."The people call me Shadow Man.""And I call you a mutant criminal. To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?""It's about the boy in the hospital. I'm sure you know his life is in danger."Piero groaned. "I'm keeping him safe and alive as bait for the likes of you. If you have the balls, Mr Hero, trying showing up at the hospital. I would love to host you in the cont

Darken Quantermain. The innocent pretty boy in the school, known for being gentle and minding his own business. Shy, afraid to speak in front of everybody, the easy victim of all those bullies. He was a cold blooded killer mutant all along?I rose from my seat as my suspicions arose. I knew what I saw. A spider, drawn in black just on the inside of the left wrist. That was the tattoo I found on the whirlwind, that was the tattoo I spotted on Darken.I hurried to my step brother."Dylan..." I held him close. "Find Ashley... Tell her I know who the murderer is."Dylan was a terrible student. He knew all the methods of skipping school or leaving early, I knew he was gonna do this easily. But he had questions."Who is it?"My tongue told no tales, but my eyes did. Following my gaze, Dylan's eyes widened in disbelief."Him?""I am completely sure." I affirmed. "He must not know we are onto him. Get Ashley here as soon as possible and we can get him before it is too late. I will keep an eye

"There is someone spying on us." I held Dylan by the wrist, warning him with my eyes."Well... How do you know?""Because I can feel it."Perhaps I should not have said that. Heaven knows the kind of thoughts that ran through my half brother's mind. As I hurried away from the scene, eager to detect the watching eyes, I saw it."There..." Someone was wearing a hoodie, just there by the huge tree. They knew I could see them. They were starting to turn away."Follow..." The both of us bolted off, leaving Denise in confusion as she continued slowly on her way into class.The fellow was getting away, I had to increase my speed. Maybe a little bit of shadow power would do. Something so light Dylan wouldn't detect, but just enough to catch up with this person.I got ready to implement my shadowy flair. I hadn't used it since the night before. "Three... Two... One.."My counting was cut short as I fell on my back. The person I collided with was a tall man in suit, quite unfriendly.He said,

With Ashley Quill's hook and rope, we made it into the building, barely and roughly.Landing on my back, my sight was met with Fiery Terry's red eyes. He was running out of breath and it looked as if his eyes would crack within his skull. The whirlwind circled around him continuously."He..lp... Plea..se..."I jumped into the scene, trying to wade off the circling wind with the strength of my feet. I was thrown off against the wall immediately, breaking a few things along the way."Fuck! That was so fast!" My eyes dazzled.There was not much I could do, my powers were absent. Ashley set to work instead, pointing towards them with that thing she took from the bike."What's that?" I whispered."That man isn't the only person with an Okasaki..." She smriked, pulling a trigger.It beeped twice, flashing in blue. Something shot out towards the struggling duo. A screeching echo befell my ears, the voice of a male teenager. It was not fiery Terry, it was the whirlwind.Terry tried to break f
