Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-three
53. Seagulls circled overhead, singing their afternoon songs. The soft breeze kicked up thin veils of white sand. In the distance, waves crashed. As he stared at the cloudless Genanius sky, Domition felt the warmth of the summer Karasen sun upon his face, and the cool kiss of the seawater sweeping over his feet. He … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-three
Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-two
52. Another day had come and gone. Another day of trudging through a cold, wet forest, worrying about what was to come. This wasn’t what Iona had in mind when she was planning her heroic rescue. She knew it wouldn’t be easy but she never expected the forests of Selson to be this unforgiving. She’d … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-two
Ghost Stories
Happy Halloween I, admittedly, have never had much interest in the holiday itself, but I do quite enjoy the spooky and the bizarre, so I have decided to mark the occasion by doing something a little different. In this article, I bring to you two (allegedly) true ghost stories as experienced by members of my … Continue reading Ghost Stories
Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-one
51. Tunnel after tunnel and passage after passage; they ran for what seemed like (and may well have been) miles, not knowing what lay in front and not caring as long as it got them far away from what was behind. Their mad dash through the cut led Haldron and what remained of his squad … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Fifty-one
Spiritum – Chapter Fifty
50. It was only when she felt the slab beneath her that Llannaeia realized she was still in the palace of the Emperor of the Aq Quhn Ran Asten. She must have finally dozed off, after hours of trying. Her conversation with the Chancellor had left her worked up. She’d never been so open with … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Fifty
Spiritum – Chapter Forty-nine
49. It was still dark when Domition awoke, as was his intention. He’d made sure to wake much earlier than usual in order to give himself plenty time to prepare. Usually, if he awoke this early, he would snuggle closer to Hera and relax in the warmth of their bodies. But not this morning. This … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Forty-nine
Spiritum – Chapter Forty-eight
48. Whatever happened next, Haldron was certain of one thing: it was all his fault. They wouldn’t be there if not for him. He dragged them out there on some revenge quest and look where it led. As much as he wanted to blame Searyuhb for what was about to happen, Haldron was confident that … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Forty-eight
Spiritum – Chapter Forty-seven
47. No matter how hard she pinched herself, Iona didn’t wake up in her bed at the Selson Academy for the Arcane. It felt like a dream, stumbling through the forest, almost half-naked, following a ball of light. Then she thought about Sahel and it seemed more like a nightmare. Despite the light’s insistence that … Continue reading Spiritum – Chapter Forty-seven
