THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness

Drax dashed through the forest as his breath shook heavily. He gasped as he tried to catch his breath, but it was becoming almost impossible. His legs were tired, his eyes were heavy. He felt like he was going to die!"Ah!"He cried out as he tripped and nearly fell, and the object in his hand gave off a faint glow as Drax continued to run. The object was shaped like a cube and had a large dragon sigil engraved on it. Everything about the object gave off a powerful hue, and the bright moonlight sitting in the sky gave him the light he needed."Please, just a little more...please.... give me strength..." He begged something within him as he kept running. He had no idea if he was going in the right direction or not, he did not know if the roads ahead were safe, but if it meant escaping from the creatures that pursued him,.it was a chance he was willing to take.Suddenly, Drax heard a loud growl and stopped. He froze on the spot, as still as he could, and slowly looked around. The fores

Jaghryx roared in the sky as the dragon approached the palace. The morning sun was filling him with extra energy and Alastair couldn't have been more proud. As the beast slowly settled on the large, concrete space outside of the main palace building, the soldiers around all watched in awe and horror.Alastair stepped down from the Dragon and have Jaghryx a gentle rub on the face. The dragon growled softly and settled itself as Alastair walked away. The guards around stood at attention as Alastair approached and they quickly placed their right hand across their chest as he walked past them. That was their formal way of greeting the head mage.Alastair could not believe how easily time had passed. Once upon a time, Master Orion was in this position that he was occupying at that time. He had always wanted to become Head Mage and he was getting there, not until that time when he tampered with dark magic.Then he thought Blaize would get it because he was the most suitable candidate. But

The residents of the capital chatted in awe as a thick mist suddenly appeared out of nowhere and began to spread. They watched as the clouds slowly turned dark, the ray of sunshine that had filled the morning with warmth disappearing in an instant.And then, came the snowfalls. Some children even began to get excited as they watched the snowflakes fall from the sky, but their parents knew it was not supposed to be. As more snowflakes fell, people began to shuffle into their homes.The palace was already placed in a commotion as guards jumped from one side to the other, getting themselves arms as they quickly formed a defensive formation around the entire palace. The mist continued to spread and so did the snowfall. The soothing winter cold that soon followed saturated the air, but then, it began to get a bit colder. Weapons began to freeze, the ground was slowly freezing as well. Guards moved back as the frozen spots started to spread, and as they did, Alastair dashed out of the pala

Alastair stirred intently at the cube as he tried to figure out what it was exactly. He had been there in that same position for over Seven hours, and he was not getting anything. Alastair was gradually getting frustrated by the lack of knowledge, and for a day that seemed to begin so well, he was not having it easy."For god's sake!"He cursed as he felt a sharp headache. He had even forgotten to eat due to the stress. He knew he needed to figure out the answers to the questions. If he had any hope of thwarting Corvius and his plans, it had to begin from the cube.But, how could the cube serve as a gateway, and how was Corvius absorbing them? It was his first time hearing of such a skill. He felt so weak at that moment.Alastair took a deep breath. Perhaps he was overthinking again. He slowly stretched out his hand towards the cube and as the white light from his hand shone on the cube, he tried to feel for any other forms of energy which he could capitalize on. But nothing came."Co

Silence.That was the only thing Elderien could hear at that point. There was total silence in all of the capital's minds, and the faintest creaking of the doors and the shuffling of weapons convinced everyone that they were in for something terrible. The energy from the sun's sphere had spread across the capital, forming a yellow dome of energy that gave off little Sparks. The dome was deep yellow in colour, and the heat it provided was enough to warm the capital. But that was not the only problem the capital faced.From where they stood, the Elderien people could see that the outside world had been enveloped in a thick, terrible winter. The clouds had turned dark as well, and lightning could be seen flashing in the sky. The wind outside was terrible, causing a snowstorm to blow. How could the world be under the influence of such a powerful spell? How could they survive?For Alastair, the sight of his dead dragon's outline from the Sparks was one of the things that filled him with
