The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Weird Dream
Faith and hope is a strange thing, Dalton and Pipper knows, tenuous, erratic, often irrational.Perhaps it’s this, most of all, that makes it so painfully easy to suspend hope. For a minute, an hour, a full day. Perhaps the ease with which humans manage it –synapses shutting down with a whine before the brain can even comprehend the image.Because what the eyes are seeing isn’t there at all, can’t possibly be there– is a sort of elaborate defense mechanism, evolved over the centuries to preserve the sanity of the species.Pipper never believed in the otherworldly and yet he’s experiencing something that is beyond imagination. Beyond what he could comprehend, but he’s willing to cast that aside, for now, willing to trust that he isn’t hallucinating.What he does hope for though, is that the boy’s face was something he hadn’t seen before. He felt so real, yet isn’t real — real like he is, flesh and blood and bone, real like the wood of his bedstead.What he gives faith, even now, even a
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Off to the Land of Sorcerers
The expression ‘waking up on the wrong side of the bed’ had never been more apt for Fraco than it had the next morning. He tossed and turned on his bed throughout the night until finally falling into exhausted slumber in the early hours of the morning.They’re about to leave. Yet, he was having a hard time going through his morning routine.When his eyes had cracked open under the insistent pressure of sunlight streaming into his room, feeling like shit was pretty much an understatement. He had staggered to the shower and after stripping off his clothes, he had stood under the full blast of water, trying to force himself into some semblance of consciousness.It took him the better part of half an hour before he began to feel even remotely human, or at least, human enough to stagger out of the shower, dry off and dress. Even so, he felt that bone-deep exhaustion in his limbs and his eyes felt sore, tired and slightly painful.Maybe it’s because of the nightmares.“Enough, Fraco,” he to
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Last Attack on Nakoir
Pipper’s shoulders tensed and a nervous chuckle came out of his lips. “Ye—yeah.”Dalton chuckled softly. “I understand you, bud. Just… remember to talk to me whenever you feel alone, yeah?”Pip took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves even though his mind was gibbering just a little. “Thank you.”“Give it time.” Dalton was staring into the distance, seeming as if to be staring into the depths of his own memory. “Even the half breed named Johnas had a hard time trusting the power inside of him. But you know what I like about him?”“What?”Dalton smiled. “Even though the normies hated us, at school when everyone was attacked, he helped who he could. He has this unwavering will to protect those who are weaker than him.”He sighed and glanced at Dalton. “I don’t know if my heart or intentions are as pure as Johnas.” Pip admitted, as he looked down on his hands.“You have to be patient with this sort of thing.” Dalton said. “Everything has a purpose. It may not be crystal clear now,
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Last Attack on Nakoir Part II
If he had been forced to choose a sound to describe what happened next, the closest would have been a swoosh, perhaps; and as that sound began, that globe of fire suddenly exploded into a large ball of fire that enveloped those creatures, throwing out waves of blistering heat even from this distance, and then, they began screaming as the fire consumed them. He concentrated again and a whirling globe of fire surrounded them, containing the flames, trapping their writhing forms within as they thrashed and burned within that blast of flame.When their cries faded away, when the fires had burned out, leaving piles of ashes in their place, only then did he release the barrier of air that had sealed them away.“Impressive though perhaps a little inefficient,” A cool, calm voice noted.A man appeared from the mouth of the passage, dressed in white tunic. The fabric reached down to the ground, and a dark and grim expression loomed on his face. Fraco, Kane and the others could only see a shad
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Two Centaurs
Even so, Fraco could tell that Lerroy was slowly getting winded-out after receiving loud attacks. The sword he summoned from the ground had chunks and dents. Fraco had tried to distract The dark druid by throwing a whirling globe of hire at him but he swatted it away as if it had been nothing but a mere annoyance.One glance from The dark druid and the ground beneath Fraco had suddenly exploded, tossing him into the air and against the wall. He looked on in dismay at the battling duo and his heart sank.The dark druid was simply toying with Lerroy.He tried to focus again, tried to conjure up another ball of fire to blow him away, but his thoughts were fragmented, disparate and nothing happened.‘I’ve got to do something!’ Fraco thought desperately and he rose to his feet and began running towards Lerroy, in the hope he could help the half breed.It was a stupid move but he couldn’t think of anything else he could do instead.The dark druid’s eyes flickered over him for just one momen
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants The Elvin Boy and the Sorcerer
It feels as if everything is a dream. The war. The blood. The creatures of the dark and now…‘Half breed!’“Elvin boy, wake up!”‘Huh?’A voice, a loud irritating voice. “Open your eyes and wake up!”‘Fraco?’“That’s it, open your eyes and look at me. Breathe — breathe!”He opened his eyes slowly. The picture — the world where his nightmare begins and ends but then begins again in a loop. A world of torture. A world where he sees his mother getting killed over and over again. The world was slowly coming back, stitching back together.“Fraco?” Lerroy croaked.His throat was completely bruised, damaged in places where The Dark Druid had squeezed so tightly. Fraco had to repair that damage, easing the swelling, reducing the bruising. The young man followed the voice’s instructions.And it was the first time he used the Breath of Life. Fraco looked down on him with such a big smile on his face. “Hey there… Welcome back to the land of the living.”“Hi.” He croaked out."How are you feelin
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Sphinox, the Second Creation
“You cannot judge me, you do not have the right to judge me!” The Dark Druid screamed like a deranged man. “You — the ones who call yourselves Centaur's and gods of man should be judged! Why would you create life when you only plan to take it away?! Why would you let humans feel love if you only let them die in their lover’s arms!”Fraco and Lerroy witnessed how The Dark Druid slowly burned inside the globe. Yet there was a cold smile on his face.“You will all be judged, along with me.” There was a loud chiming sound and he flexed, and with a resounding crack, the globe of fire vaporized — vanishing and only embers of the fire remained. Flicking, disappearing. Faded into nothing.Dah laughed as the Centaur's were blasted away from the shockwave. “I had always loved theatrics.”The Dark Druid stretched lazily and the crooked smile on his face darkened. A burst of golden dust circled in his hands — in unfathomable proportions. Not only that, but it had traces of black dust.A stark bla
The Forgotten Land: The Return of the Giants Sphinox, the Second Creation Part II
It’s been years, at least, since Vernon had been the one playing on the field. The last memory he had of this investigation kind of thing was when The Chosen one was 7 years old. It was when he and the other elders discussed it was best for the boy to be homeschooled.Less risk and exposure. Somehow, the elder felt like he was in his 30’s again. He even wore something that resembled a uniform.“Here”, Yves says, brisk, no nonsense, and Vernon reminisces the days the two of them teemed up. Yves always had a certain flare in him. The voice he uses in meetings, fingers laced, eyes cool, the tone he employs to get men at least ten years his senior to do his bidding.And knowing Yves, he really does the job. Like how he managed to get the PSG fellows to talk.It’s resolute, incontrovertible, and Vernon doesn’t bother resisting when Yves presses a Kahr Arms P380 gun into his hands.Now he remembers it. The man with him is used to seeing dead bodies at his feet. A man who is a part of the da
