The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Hellfire
While Kane and Rasmus looked at the paintings of the Celestials on display, Joie and Anastacia remained silent in the living room. With a cup of tea in both of their hands, the two women took their time drinking from the hot cup.Joie took her time to observe the young woman. She stared at her features and looked in her eyes to see the emotions that are displayed in them. She can sense her confusion and her bewilderment. She can sense how much the young woman wants answers as she is new to the world of Sorcerers.She knows how Anastacia is feeling, for she had been in her place before. So she patiently waits for her to feel comfortable about everything. Forcing the young woman would lead to a sense of discomfort, and they wouldn't want that.They know they needed to earn her trust, unlike Kane who grew up with the Sorcerers and the secrets of the Celestials.As a child Kane was already aware of his powers and responsibilities, while Anastacia only knew so little.At first, it was hard

Seth Orion, the son of Redenor.Aiziah couldn't bear the pain anymore. She was holding on to her emotions for so long that it felt like she was about to burst. "I can't take this anymore!" She screamed out loud as she ran away from the scene. Her heart racing against her chest as her lungs burn from being breathless.She thought everything would be fine. She thought what the flower from the desert gave them was the cure.She thought the Celestial's actually looked down on them with kind eyes and saved their friends... but they were wrong.Have the Celestial's they had been serving been playing and toying with them all along?Did they even care for what they felt? What they des
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Hellfire Part III
Joie's voice grabbed Kane and Anastacia's attention. Rasmus, who's standing right next to her chimed and chorused along with her, asking the two inheritor's of the Celestial being's powers to make a move so that they may begin their journey towards the Fortress of Khalantrophe."Kane, Anastacia." Rasmus called this time around. "Let's go, now. If we slow our pace, the cold winds will be unbearable and we'll be taking too much precious time... I just---" The tall Keeper paused, then shivered when the cold winds brushed against his uncovered skin.'Why didn't I bring a jacket or a hoodie?!' Rasmus closed his eyes as he felt goosebumps trail from his neck down to his back. He was so cold that he was gritting his teeth and his body was shivering all over.Kane noticed this and was forced to hold on his laughter. Rasmus was shaking so hard, he looked like a shaking tree from afar.Kane looked behind his shoulder and called for Anastacia. "Hey, Anastacia... Let's go?"Anastacia blinked a fe
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Where Are You?
Aiziah and Zebedee went straight to the Orion's residence where Elly and the son of Redenor laid in bed. Both men were motionless --- their breaths so soft that little to no air can be felt when Nathaniel placed his finger an inch away from their nostrils.Seth's skin was beginning to turn blue, while the sunburn on Elly's body went from a light shade of pink to a darker shade of brown.Redenor asked Nathaniel to boil some water. Something they often use to treat the area where the telson of the slitch punctured. The basic and first step before they could apply any herbal medicine. The Sorcerer turns off the kettle before it whistles; he can hear the water bubbling, and it sounds so agitated it almost drives him a little mad.Nathaniel feels hypersensitive today, like his skin is very dry from the sun and his eyes have been open for too long. He doesn't know how to keep his lips closed without swallowing every few seconds.Even though he drank a glass of water in more ways than he can
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Help Us All
"I thought help would never come." Redenor said quietly. He was about to sleep, but then Dane opened the door, bursting inside with good news."Me too..." Zarahbih, his wife, chorused.Nathaniel was the one who talked to the two first, Anastacia and Kane that is. He told them about what happened at the Fortress of Khalantrophe. How it was ruined and the kind of monster attacked and destroyed the castle walls.He never missed a single detail of what happened the next day as well. The aftermath of the attack. How no one was left, and how much blood was spilled inside the catacombs where the Bane was placed and was supposed to be guarded and protected.Timothy, Jacqueline and the two inheritors of the said power listened. Horror and terror can be seen on their expressive faces."Supreme one... the bane of the Khalantrophe led you to this place?" Kane was the first to ask."That's correct." Nathaniel answered and waited for the next questions to be asked. But the questions never came, and
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Vision of the Past

The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants For The Future
The door is opening, and Landon rubs the sleep from his eyes. He's confused, disoriented, and he fumbles for the door that separates their kitchen from their living room.. The living room is too quiet, and he can hear the birds outside. The sun is just up. It was 6:47 in the morning. Everything looks as though it's reflected in gold tinfoil, the trees standing tall in the Land of the Sorcerers were still twinkling like gold. He wonders a little if this is what it always looks like at dawn. He spent so much time outside the Land of the Sorcerers that he had forgotten what his own homes looked like. He almost forgot how beautiful the Land of the Sorcerers was during sunrise.He sips the coffee on the table and assumes it was made for him and winces. It's bitter, and he’s sure his mother — Tahani was the one who made the strong brew.He stands up, unsteady at first, then makes his way to the kitchen, fingering his hair and straightening his clothes. He's just getting his cereal out whe
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Break of Dawn
The light was dim at best, the feeble orange glow of the night lamps was barely enough to see by. The first thing Levi Shaldan does is to check that it's a body, and not a corpse, that he's just stumbled on. The second thing he does is to check if the little one was actually breathing.Levi Shaldan —the Benevolent ruler had just created a monster beyond belief, a titan whom he named Atlas. He felt pride knowing he had something powerful enough to threaten the remaining Celestial on the stars. Someday, he will bring forth his creatures of terrors up there and finally end the reign of those beings.He will dethrone them someday. And he will end the tiring circle of life they had created. He planned to make things right. To create a new Earth. But then, on his way back to the castle he called home, Levi Shaldan stumbled upon a little girl. The little one looks even worse under the harsh glare of the fluorescents, bruised and bleeding from at least a dozen shallow cuts on her upper bod

Fuck With Air
“What?” Bosy asked.“I need some fucking air,” Ken said, tracking Donghae’s movements across the ballroom.“Balcony, out that way,” Bosy said and gestured with his glass. “Leave Hero with me?”Ken scoffed and then pushed Meer up. He took Meer’s hand. He barely managed to smile at the men he passed on his way to the balcony. He kept Donghae in his line of sight, and made sure that Donghae saw him slip outside.The balcony was large, and there were already couples around it, engrossed in each other’s bodies. Ken led Meer to a shadowy nook created by two columns. He held him tightly and took shuddering breaths. “Fuck, this night is just getting fucking worse.”Five minutes passed, and then Donghae appeared in front of them. He lit a cigarette. Ken grabbed his arm, and practically threw him against a column.“Ow, Ken, that hurt,” Donghae said and rubbed his shoulder.“Tell me. Now.”Donghae’s eyes flicked to Meer. “I’d rather not.”“Trust me. It’s alright if he hears.”“I don’t trust slav
Nevermind Part II
Ken frowned, but Meer smiled. Another kiss. “There’s a predator in the form of your best friend coming up on us fast.”Ken sighed and pressed his forehead against Meer’s.“Might Ken!”Ken turned around, keeping Meer pressed against the wall. Bosy wore a black suit, shirt and tie. All five of his slaves flanked him. They all wore tight white pants. Bosy grinned at him. “I didn’t actually think you’d come.”“I had incentive.” And just to piss Bosy off, he asked, “Where’s your wife?”Bosy’s eyes narrowed. “Probably on her back with one of her lovers.”Bosy had done the proper thing. Married a girl, sired an heir, and then set them up in a separate estate. It made Ken sick. He was expected to do the same thing. And before he was thirty.He sighed. “Sorry, Chunnie. I’m in a bad mood.”“You’re in a bad mood? With Hero here? You’re crazy. I came over to get a closer look at him.”“You’ve seen him.”“Not all dressed up,” Bosy said with a leer.Ken shut his eyes briefly and then moved to the s
Nevermind
Ken groaned when something dug into his side.Someone chuckled above him.And then lips pressed against his neck, traveled down his shoulder.“Ken, you have to get up. I already have coffee ready. Don’t you want coffee?”“What time is it?” Ken mumbled.“Eight fifteen.”“Fuck.”“Like I said, you need to wake up.”Ken rubbed his eyes and forced himself to sit up. His whole body hurt. “Fuck,” he said again. He tried vainly to remember what appointments he had today.“Where’s my cell phone?”“Nope. You are not calling in,” Meer said. “Yoona already called when you weren’t there at eight. She told me to remind you about the Choi deal.”Ken shut his eyes and feel back to the bed. “I hate dealing with the Choi’s.”“Do you like dealing with anyone?”Ken opened one eye and grinned. “You.”Meer blushed and looked away.Ken tugged on his arm and Meer let himself be pulled. He curled up against his side. Ken leaned down for a kiss. Meer smiled against Ken’s lips. Ken’s fingers found the hem of Me
Sleep For Life
The guy clicked his tongue at him. “You’re a terrible liar.” The drink arrived and the guy sipped at it. “My name is Aiden.”“Now who’s the liar?”A hand settled on Ken’s thigh. “What if I told you I wanted you to fuck me? Would you think I was lying?”“No, but no thanks.”“Oh, come on. Let me be your angel for the night.”Ken froze, and then shut his eyes in defeat before turning to look at the guy. He smirked and downed his drink.“Come on, Might Michael,” he said, proving he knew exactly who Ken was. “Let me take you to heaven.”Ken let him take his hand. He led him through the club, past drugged out bodies moving to a steady beat. They entered a dark hallway, and as they turned corner after corner, went down a set of stairs and then turned more corners, Ken started getting nervous.Finally, he stopped and opened a door.Ken entered a sparsely furnished room lit by a single bulb. Couch, table, a couple of chairs. As soon as the door shut, the guy was pressed against him, laying bit
I'm Not Ken
God, he hated the Senator’s parties. It was less a dinner and more of an excuse to get drunk, show off and trade slaves.At precisely nine, Yoona buzzed him. “Ken, I’m sorry, but Lee Sungmin refuses to talk to me anymore.”“Patch him through, NaNa.”Ken lost himself in work.At eleven he was considering going home and taking a long lunch. And then Yoona buzzed him again. “Bosy is here to see you.”Ken shut his eyes and sighed. “Send him in, Na.”Bosy sauntered in, once again dragging the tall Doushiten named Justin behind him. Bosy flung the kid onto the floor, and hooked the handcuffs to the arm of the chair.“Hey, Yunnie,” he said.“Bosy. What do I owe the pleasure?”“Just bored, thought I’d visit. I’m going to go use your bathroom.”Ken studied Justin. He didn’t look up, head lowered. More bruises and cuts covered his back and neck and chest.Ken spared the bathroom a glance and then rose. He moved around his desk and sat in the chair. Justin flinched, but didn’t pull away, when Ke
The Senator
They finished the run in silence, Ken contemplating that. It wasn’t until they returned and Meer dropped to the floor to stretch that Ken asked, “Why haven’t you killed me and made a run for it?”Meer had his legs spread, almost in splits. He leaned his upper body to the floor and stretched his arms out. “That would be dishonorable.”“Why?”“Okay, so it wouldn’t be. But it’d be stupid. Because honestly, where am I going to go?” He lifted his legs off the floor, moaning, and Ken had to swallow against a sudden dry mouth. He could only imagine how stretched Meer’s quads were right then.“You’re staring.”“You’re flexible.”“Part of the training.” Meer sat up, winked at him and then lay on the floor. He pressed his hands flat by his head and then pushed his body into an arch. “You should be stretching after a run like that.”“Probably.”He kicked his legs up, effortlessly moving into a handstand. He held it and then bent his knees. He did a couple of pushups and then let his feet fall to
It's Saturday
Meer woke him up at five-thirty.“Fuck, Meer, it’s Saturday.”“I’m sorry, Master. Is there a different time you’d like me to wake you up on Saturdays?”Ken squeezed his eyes shut. “Just later. Eight or nine.”“Very well, Master.”And then it registered. Ken sat up. “Meer?”Meer turned at the door and lowered his head. “Yes, Master?”“Stop it.”“Stop what, Master?”“Stop that. What is wrong with you?”“I don’t know what you mean, Master.”Ken growled, stood up and stalked over to him. “Knock it off.”“If Master would tell—”Ken grabbed his shoulders and pushed him against the wall. “Don’t do this, Meer.”“Do what, Master?”Ken pulled him back and then slammed him against the wall again. “Don’t.”“Why not?” That defiant look was back in his eyes. “Because you said so. Master?”Ken sighed. He moved his hands from Meer’s shoulders and then put them against the wall. He let his arms bend until his forearms rested against the wall. Their bodies aligned. Ken let his head fall to one of his a
No Idea
“What?”“Justin. It’s Justin.”“What’s Justin?”“Bosy’s …”“You know Bosy’s new slave?”He nodded. “We were … not friends. More like rivals, I guess.” Meer sighed and sat up. He played with the buttons on Ken’s shirt, not looking him in the eye. “Our families were allies. Our kingdoms shared a border. Justin and I are First Sons, heirs to be king.”Ken gasped.Meer smirked. “I know, right? Hence the irony of life, thing. Anyway. Our rivalry mainly stemmed from our birth status. Technically, we were the same rank, but Justin was a First Child, First Son, and I had eight older sisters. But I am older than he is. It seems stupid now, but then, it mattered a great deal. We competed in fairs and mock battles and for women.”Meer stopped, finally met Ken’s eyes and then climbed off his lap. Ken followed him into the kitchen. “I always mocked him. Told him one day, he’d be my slave and he’d have to wash my feet while I sipped champagne from his family goblets.”When he started making tea, Ke
What's A Justin
“I’m not here for me, Yong. I don’t know if rumors have circulated yet, but I bought a slave and he needs clothes.”The man’s eyes narrowed. “There are stores for—”“Considering his status as my first slave, I decided that he should only have the very best. I can’t have him running around looking like an uncivilized foreigner.”“This is completely unprecedented.”“Yes, I realize that. But I’m sure you can find a way to compensate the inconvenience.”“Of course, Might Ken.” And Ken was certain there’d be a hefty “service charge” on this final bill. “We’d be happy to supply you with everything he needs.”“Thank you, Yong. He needs everything, all the way down to socks and underwear.”He called over a couple of other associates.“Hero, stand up,” Ken said, voice shaking when he said ‘Hero’. Meer stood immediately. One of the others took Meer’s measurements and Yong shouted at the other one to start taking clothes to the dressing room.Ken and Meer locked eyes. Meer had that look again, t
