THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Power made me mad
Alastair staggered back as Drax mentioned the name. He had expected it, but he prayed it was not true. It wasn't supposed to be true. This was not supposed to happen. She told him she had aborted it. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, perhaps it was another Sarah. It was a pretty common name."What do you know of your father?" Alastair asked Drax."I never knew him. I never even met him once. My mother said he didn't want us when she was pregnant, so she had to leave." Drax responded and took a glance at Cara when she breathed deeply."Did she tell you she was from here?" Alastair asked him but Drax shook his head."And the dragon bound to your soul, how did you get it?" Alastair asked Drax."I do not know. My mother once mentioned that I got it from my birth father. She said he was a very powerful man in Elderien. I am wondering if it was the king. Perhaps that would be the only reason why he would abandon us. He could not put up with the scandal. It is actually understandable." D
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Furious
Corvius punched the dome with all he had and watched as the energy vibrated on the dome. He growled as he punched again, this time, putting in even more energy than he had before. He punched and watched as the dome shook with all of the energy it was absolved, but nothing happened.The dome remained as strong as ever, and it remained upright even as Corvius punched. The sun sphere gave off sparkles of energy like it was fighting back, a move that irritated Corvius."That's how you wanna play? We'll play!" He spat as he took a step back. He didn't even care that his army was behind him, watching all of his actions. The Northerners stood there and watched as their leader struggled with the dome, and it was not a sight that filled them with pleasure.But Corvius did not care about them or their feelings! The only thing he cared about was how his image reflected himself and at that point, he was feeling useless!He roared as he shot a stream of ice from his hand at the dome. The impact b
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Disturbed
"You are disturbed..."Corvius heard Asmodeus say behind him as the demon appeared out of thin air. Since Asmodeus' binding with him and the absorption of the primal cubes which allowed demons to enter the plane, Asmodeus has been able to easily traverse both worlds, a leisure he enjoyed because of Corvius."I have faced the greatest humiliation of my life. I was so close to Victory and I watched as it got taken from me. I was a fool to underestimate the Elderiens. It will not happen again."Corvius calmly stated and the demon chuckled lightly."Was he there? Alastair, was he there?" Asmodeus asked Corvius."He was. He is the one responsible for this sphere. That mage helped him. They literally kicked me out of their Kingdom."Corvius scoffed at the reality. He was nearly running madly from the Shame."You never should have expected less from that Kingdom. They are the Pinnacle of strength as far as these lands are concerned. They have a strong army which is probably on their way here
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Phoenix gone
The calm, the quiet, the serenity.Alastair watched as the incense burning in the room took him back to memories from a time long ago. He stood at the side of the room where Cara lay on the bed, covered with a large piece of bedding that nearly swallowed her whole. She was not moving, and her eyes were shut tight.As Alastair continued to observe her, he was taken back to the time when he watched a healer use the power of incense to amplify her powers and perform a very powerful spell to drive out a blood-sucking parasite.The parasite had taken root inside a man's intestines and sucked out blood within him. It started as a simple pain in the guts, which quickly spread even before the man knew it. The pain intensified as the parasite which was getting larger began to dig through the Anterior abdominal wall of the man.Alastair had witnessed it during his rotation with healers to learn the basic art of healing. He was fascinated by that particular event and when the healer started the
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Phoenix gone (2)
"What do you mean you cannot feel the Phoenix?"Alastair asked Cara who stopped sobbing and gazed into nothing in particular. She just sat there as a million thoughts roamed around her mind. She just didn't know exactly how to explain it to Alastair at that time."When I woke up earlier, I felt something shift within me. I thought it was just the aftermath of the attack so I shrugged it off. But I tried to feel my magic just now and I could not. It's not there."She whispered the latter part. Alastair did not say a thing. He just contemplated the problem before him."Your menu?" Alastair said to Cara. She touched her right shoulder but nothing happened. There was no magic to even initiate the process. It was real!"Alastair, what if Corvius killed the Phoenix?" Cara asked and recoiled."I do not think it is possible. The Phoenix cannot be killed. It simply exists and will continue to exist. I do not know what this is but this is not the death of the Phoenix. I am certain there is a lo
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Kevin
How dare he try to tell him what to do?Kevin raged on as he made his way to his quarters. He could not believe Alastair would dare try to tell him what to do. The realization that the mage had gotten bold made him furious. Fine, he would become the prince consult in a while but that did not give him the right.What does it matter if he decided to spend the rest of his days drinking? Why couldn't he focus on the things at hand, like saving the world or defending his queen from danger? Why did he want to overrule?Kevin cursed again, dragging his feet on the ground. The stench of blood still hung in the air and he saw some blood stains on the wall. The bloodstains reminded him of his fight with Obaro. He felt shivers when he remembered the fight. The way Obaro defeated him, the strength he possessed, the speed, it all scared him in a way.He knew what he should be doing, he should be walking around, trying to find ways to reach their allies, contact the generals, and mobilize the army,
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Leave Elderien
The lady slowly took a seat and continued to gaze upon Kevin. She was beautiful, no doubt, and the green colored dress she wore made her look even better. Her hair was red, and she wore a black cloak as well."It is considered treason to obstruct a royal when they're busy. Did you know this?" Kevin asked her and she nodded slowly."The arcane books of King Tut. Second edition. Good thing we are no longer living in the old days, isn't it?"She stated calmly. Kevin was surprised by her knowledge. That was only available to royals. How did she know? And what did she mean by the second edition?"Who are you?" Kevin asked."My name is Tanya. I have been watching you for a while now, Lord Kevin." She said."Watching me? Why?""How do you feel?" She asked again. Kevin was already getting irritated by the question. Why did she keep asking, and why didn't she just let him drink in peace?"I feel fine." He said. "Now, off you go. I want my peace." He added."I'm afraid I cannot do that," Tanya
THE ELDERIEN CHRONICLES: Aftermath Of Darkness Letters in the air
Alastair scoffed when Drax walked closer. If he had known that the person that gave him such a startle would be the same person that actually wanted to see him the least, perhaps he would have avoided that room at that time.Drax walked closer. He still had the same hatred on his face, but at that moment, Alastair realized that the boy needed something in his life. He needed a father, a mentor, and someone to teach him things. Alastair promised to be that person to him. It was his duty after all."I wanted to apologize for my fit earlier. These are hard times. I feel like we should be working together instead of fighting. Corvius is still out there and if he is planning something, we should be planning to stop him as well."Drax said and Alastair nodded. "You know, you do not need to apologize. You are well within your rights to get angry with me. I haven't actually done anything to deserve your respect. I just hope things would be different from now on. I have seen your energy. You

They could see the energy which the ghosts had left behind tripping into the cube. As soon as the energy started flowing into the cube, the cube began to thrum. It thrummed so much that the energy it was gaining made it seem like it was going to explode at any moment.Alastair walked closer to the cube and stretched her hand forth. It was finally time for him to cast the spell and he knew that he could not delay any further. He started whispering the words and when he did, the cube thrummed even more. It slowly elevated and gave off Sparks of energy as it hung in the air.Miranda tried to shield her eyes as the sparks became more pronounced. Alastair did not stop chanting. The more he chanted, the more the sparks grew, and the more that happened, the more the energy in the room got sucked.Suddenly, a blast of energy escaped the cube and Blasted Alastair away from the cube, and knocked him on the ground. The same energy had swept Miranda off her feet and crashed her as well. Alastair

"Queen Sophia, remember who we are. We are here to help..." Miranda began as soon as the ghost started approaching them. The ghost did not have a cheer on her face, and all that Miranda could see was the anger and hated that she had carried to her grave.As Sophia began to come too close, Alastair quickly cast a spell and bridged himself between Miranda and the ghost, who at that time was already getting worked up. The ghost opened it's mouth to say something, but like painful transition of death, she could no longer speak. Her mouth suddenly stretched far beyond it's normal limits and it became a hollow mass of darkness.Alastair watched carefully as all the ghost could do was wail. She wailed so much and when she did, the energy in the room changed. It suddenly became dark and Alastair could sense it. So, that was what happened? As the ghost continued wailing, something started happening.Alastair could feel something coming in masses. He exchanged glances with Miranda who seemed to

Alastair and Miranda watched as the King paced up and about in the throne room, baffled, his face creased with worries, he will stop every minute and ponder for a second then goes about pacing again.Miranda wonders what goes on in his mind, watching his every moves with intent.“Pray tell, the heavens that one day, I will not be overthrown by this woman I call my wife.” Marius said, his face looking toward the ceiling in reverence to him looking at the sky as he prays.Marius looked threatened not only at the fact that the people regards his wife more than him and that what if it happens that they start seeing his wife as both king and queen.“No!” Maris thundered, “it can’t happen and it won’t!” He shook his head, “I am the king and I shall act the role of the king, and no one regards the queen than I.” Miranda shuddered and Alastair quickly holds her, it was obvious that the king was overly jealous of his queen Sophia, and his mind has been clouded with hatred for her and at this

Jealous?
“To Queen Sophia!” The audience boomed with roars of laughter emanating from everyone present in the hall.“To You, Our Queen.” One of the noble whisper to the Sophia who gave a hearty smile and raised her glass to everyone.She looked over to the King who wore a face of disdain and disgust but quickly comported his face and smiled at her.“You’re a wonder, my darling. Thank you for winning for us.” Sophia stared at him, unsure of what to say, her mouth quirked and a second later, a smile creeped up her face. “I am filled with happiness to fight for our country and win.”She turned her attention to the crowd, the nobles were the ones who had threw the party for us saying that she was a man in woman form, she had the strength and courage to go war and bring the victory home.“Great Elderiens, admiration to the gods who gave Queen Sophia the strength to go to war and bring victory to us.” One of the nobles said.From the crowd, a woman whispered to another woman beside her. “You see

The third general slowly approached the queen with a smile on his face but the Queen was not smiling. He was quite disappointed when he could not make her reciprocate the emotion that he was showing off."My queen, you should not be here, in this lowly place. You must allow me to escort you into a tent while you make yourself comfortable." The third general said to her and she scoffed. She could not believe her ears."Are you enchanted? Are you under some form of spell?" The queen asked the general who was confused by the nature of her question."I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean...""Are you aware that the capital is burning at this very moment?.are you aware that your king is out there fighting for his people? And what are you doing? You are here eating and resting with your army while the kingdom burns. You have disobeyed a direct order from your king to assist in the battle and you do not feel any remorse. Explain yourself before I have your head."Sophia spat with an a

Queen Sophia dashed into the room closest to her and slammed the door shut. Alastair and Miranda were able to phase through the door and follow her inside. The queen quickly sat down on a chair and took a deep breath, shuddering in the process as she heard another bang on the wall. Queen Sophia began to look at the maps and the books that were scattered across the table. She glanced from one to the other, trying her possible best to make sure that she was not missing anything. But when she heard another bang, she jumped up and took a deep breath to calm herself down.The war was getting more perilous. Sophia knew that Elderien may not survive for long for the reinforcements they were waiting for had not arrived. The enemy they faced had better armoury, better soldiers and a greater chance of. Winning the battle. Queen Sophia knew that it would all soon be over, and when the enemy won, she may have to be killed.And so would her children. No, she could not fanthom the thought of her c

As soon as Alastair and Miranda stepped into the Hall, the doors shut behind them. They could see the cube at the centre of the room, thrumming with energy as they looked around. The ghost stood on a side of the hall, watching them closely and carefully as they observed her as well.Miranda was especially fascinated. She had never thought that she would find the ghost of a queen in the catacombs. The royals were always burried according to the rites of the kingdom but there was something fishy about the Queen's history after all.According to the books, the queen had helped her husband defeat a great for by serving as his Mastermind. However, she wanted to take the throne for herself for she believed that she was more suited to rule than he was. That led to her husband banishing her from the palace and Elderien forever. It was never stated what Became of her after her banishment, but the king remarried and had children with the new wife which continued his lineage.What if there was a

Reveal her truth
Alastair slowly looked at the direction to which Miranda was pointing to. He was not sure what he would see there but he knew that whatever it was, it was enough to send shivers down her spine. Alastair slowly turned his neck and gazed at the darkness that stood before him. In the midst of the pitch black aura which he could see, he started to make out something like the outline of a person.But it was a shadow. Alastair looked closer. He was certain that it was a ghost, or at least he suspected it was. But he had Never seen a ghost like that one before, and the uncertainty made him uncomfortable."What is that?" Miranda asked him, shaking with fear. What terrified her the most was the fact that the shadow stood still, not moving, not speaking, but menacing enough to show off a Stern warning with it's presence. "I think it is a ghost." Alastair said to her and the realization that the creature had a name made Miranda to become at ease, at least she now knew what she was facing. Alas

Alastair could tell that his efforts to find a suitable reason for the problem he was encountering were not forthcoming. He could not even focus on anything all through the day. As the mages attended to Drax, he walked out of the room to get some fresh air.Alastair saw the dome and remembered what had led him there in the first place. The dome kept giving off Sparks on energy, but Alastair could notice that the Sparks had started reducing. He was not surprised. It was bound to happen sooner than later. But the only issue he had was the fact that he did not know when the dome would finally call it a quit. There has to be a plan for when that happened. That Was what he was trying to do but he was not even successful in that.Alastair was so deep in thought that he did not even notice when Miranda walked up to him. She sighed as she gazed at the sphere as well, and then turning to gaze at Alastair when he did not acknowledge her presence."What are you thinking about?" She asked him. Al
