A life forever changed
In a mystical world of magic, a mysterious young woman Clad in a black robe, her face hidden beneath the hood, ran swiftly through the dark woods, holding a male infant wrapped in an orange scarf. “Don’t worry little one, you will soon be out of harm’s way”. The dark woods were shrouded in an eerie silence, the only sound being the soft rustling of leaves beneath the mysterious woman’s feet. She ran as fast as she could, as three unidentified creatures were in pursuit. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. Her head, mouth and arms, leaked a dark blue substance which was her blood, telling a story of her struggle and inhumanity she experienced . She hid behind a tree to catch her breath, her heart racing in fear and pain as she held the infant tightly. The tree’s bark was rough and uneven against her back, and the leaves above her rustled ominously as if telling her it was too late. Behind the tree she hid, were three huge green goblins with swords l

The unraveling
Days blurred into weeks, and weeks into months, as Alister isolated himself in his cluttered, dimly lit room. Empty pizza boxes, chip packets, and beer bottles littered the floor. His once-sharp mind now dulled by alcohol and grief. One fateful morning, Alister stirred, his husky voice barely above a whisper. “What day is it?” He rose from his disheveled bed, his hair tousled, clothes sweat stained, and eyes bloodshot. Stumbling to the refrigerator, he muttered, “Only one beer left.” With a resigned sigh, he retrieved the last bottle and returned to his bed. “Now I’ll have to restock the fridge,” he mumbled, annoyance lacing his tone. In one swift motion, he downed the remaining beer, the empty bottle joining the countless others that had become his sole solace. As the last drop drained, Alister’s gaze wandered, lost in a sea of despair, his eyes now a cold, dead stare, devoid of hope. Alister’s gaze drifted towards the window, where sunlight struggled to penetrate the pitch

A Glimpse of Chaos
“huh!, it’s so dark!” Alister’s voice echoed “Where am I?, What am I ” his voice continued to echo, his memories lost. Alister floated in an endless, dark abyss, his consciousness adrift. His body, once a tangible anchor, now felt distant, unreachable. Time lost meaning as he drifted, suspended in nothingness, all that remained of him was his continuousness. “Alister!!” “Alister!!” a soft feminine voice called out. “Wh… who’s there?, who said that?” Alister’s responded his voice calm, his words composed. “Who’s Alister ?, is it me…or you? ” his voice added, his mind still a black. Suddenly, he felt a warmth envelope him, it felt like the gentle touch of sunlight on a winter morning. The sensation was intoxicating, banishing the chill from his very soul. Alister’s eyelids fluttered open, his continuousness returning to his body, and he found himself still shrouded in darkness. Yet, he sensed a presence. A woman wrapped around him, her arms encircling his waist, her forehead re

The Devil's Requiem
“My name is Tharros, and I’m a Devil,” he declared, his eyes blazing with an otherworldly glow. Alister’s heart skipped a beat as he stumbled backward, his back pressing against the wall. A could sweat ran down his face as fear gripped his soul, chilling him to the bone. “Tha…that can’t be!” Alister stammered, his voice trembling. “You’re…you’re Evil incarnate!” Tharros smirk grew, his presence commanding. “Evil incarnate, huh? That’s not very nice, considering you summoned me into this world.” Alister’s expression shifted from fear to shock. “What are you talking about? Why would I summon a Devil? And how could I forget?” Tharros snapped his fingers, and a chair materialized behind him. He sat down, crossing his legs. “Let me start from the beginning,” he said. “You’re Alister, and this house is where we first met. You were a powerful man, and my siblings and I signed a contract with you. We’re now forever bound to you.” Alister’s confusion deepened. “Contract? Forever bound?

A Glimpse Of Evil
Tharros gazed at Alister’s worn-out clothes, his expression a mix of amusement and concern. “Alister, my friend, you’re in dire need of new clothes. Your current get-up looks like it’s been through hell, and that’s coming from a demon.” Alister chuckled, running a hand through his tousled hair. “I’ve been wearing these clothes for months. They’re comfortable.” Tharros shook his head. “Comfortable, perhaps, but hardly suitable for someone as powerful as you. Come, let’s visit the finest tailor in town.” Alister agreed, and together they strolled through the winding streets of Altheoria’s market square. As they walked, Alister’s eyes widened in wonder. The town square was a kaleidoscope of colors, sounds, and scents. The cobblestone streets were lined with stalls selling exotic goods: rare spices, shimmering fabrics, jewelry’s, and intricately crafted trinkets. Alister marveled at the diversity of magical creatures milling about: - Luminous, iridescent winged horses (Skystriders) p

Tides of Magic
Alister rose to his feet, his mind swirling with questions. A fleeting glimpse of his past had resurfaced, leaving him intrigued. "Wait, this place looks eerily familiar," he muttered, stepping away from the table to survey the room. As he wandered, his fingers trailed along the spines of the arranged books, seeking sparks of recognition. Suddenly, his gaze locked onto a glass case containing a gold necklace with a striking blue pendant. "Why do I feel like I've seen this before?" Alister whispered, his curiosity drawing him closer. He opened the case, and as his fingers made contact with the necklace, a blinding white light enveloped him. When the light faded, Alister found himself standing near the same table, but this time, he was surrounded by five others. The scene unfolded like a vivid memory. "Thank you, everyone," Alister said, his face aglow with gratitude. "You've gone through so much trouble for me; I'm truly honored." Tharros stepped forward, placing a hand on Aliste
