Zander inhaled, welcoming the crisp freshness of the untainted atmosphere. No scent of death, nor decay, nothing repugnant lingered in the surrounding air. The forest was a pretty contrast of oak-brown and it seemed so primitive. They were awed by the size and majesty of the trees. Their knotted arms rose ever upwards, as far as the head could lift. They were hoary fortresses and stood proudly. The orchestra of birdsong could be heard from miles away. It was spirit-refreshing to smell the musky mix of the forest’s perfume. “The air is so clean here," James declared. And Declan couldn't remember a time when he had enjoyed a cleaner supply of oxygen. They walked through the umber-brown, ancient forest. It was like a leafy paradise, reeking of age. Its woody incense was from centuries of snapping branches crashing to the forest’s floor and twisting silently. Every sprawling tree they passed under reminded them of a watchful guardian, a silent sentinel of the groves. An ore-gold moon
Even the clouds that were now in view with the rising sun seemed like it was plucked out from a painting of a perfect picnic day. The lacy white-edged clouds were like puffs of white magic as they rolled in over acres of blue sky.It didn't take our heroes long to arrive at the bottom of the summit. The green carpeted forest began to fade as the ground became dry and chalky. Their eyes noticed the mountain. It seemed like any other mountain, with sides that were covered with old-growth forests and the farmland below was fertile, but lay against the bright blue sky was a craggy volcano that seemed like it had been simmering for ages. The white wisps rose from the top like the fumes from a burning chimney that was giving away the location of a lonesome cottage hidden away deep in the woods. “Of course, the dragons live up there," Hazel spoke with sarcasm. Julia was loving it, though she had always had a fascination with volcanoes and volcanic activities. “James and I will scale the l
The distinct change in atmosphere was immediately apparent. The cave’s hot, dry climate was an abrupt contradiction to the fresh, cool air our heroes left behind outside. Hazel wrinkled her nose against the musty smell permeating the air of this place. They followed behind Layla and ventured deeper into the rock-strewn cavern. Zander was worried about how Hazel would react when she sees what was taking place inside. He didn't have the time to tell the others what he and James saw when they entered the cave earlier. Hazel's mind-link barrier was too weak, so all telepathic communications with her were weakened. Suddenly, a flock of winged-creatures swept across the apex of the cave, producing screeching shrieks that rang through the whole cavern. Everyone except Layla and Declan, who still had an unconscious Seraphina in his arms, knelt with their hands covering their heads. They kept absolutely still until the raging horde of bats finally subsided, and everything was unruffled again.
Hello everyone, I'm just checking in with you guys to let you all know what's up. I am a very busy person and lately, I've been busier. I am an Intern (Gynecologist) and my schedule just changed a few weeks ago. I am hardly home as I spend most of my nights and early hours of the day at the hospital and the one day I get off, I try to write but I keep falling asleep at my computer. My brain has been tired and my body has been on overdrive. I wish I could stay home and write all day but people are depending on me and what I do. But don't fret, I am due for my two weeks' leave in April, so I will be working on completing this book as there are only 14 chapters left. I plan on giving you guys more stories. I realized I have so many good stories saved on my hard drive that I think are ready to be shared with the world. Thank you all for your continuous support. ❤️FIONA.
“What the hell is a witch doing here?" Scorch yelled, his eyes flashing orange as his blood boiled. He gently set his sister on the ground before standing to his feet again. “There are no weapons allowed in here," he fumed. Smoke literally seeped from his ears, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger. Dragons believed witches were the ultimate evil weapons because of how the Moon Goddess used a Dark Witch's help with the creation of the Dragon Shifters. “Just calm down. Isis means you no harm," Zander explained calmly, while he raised his hands in protest. Scorch ignored the Wolfman. “I should burn this witch down to the bone," Scorch roared as he attempted to run towards the old woman.“Oh, stop it now," Julia cursed. “And put me down," she yelled. Two macho dragons carefully placed their queen down while Scorch paused in his tracks, staring daggers at Isis. “Now, why do you hate witches so much?”“They are evil," Layla explained. “We weren't as lucky as the wolves to be solely crea
A thunderous crash echoed around the Dragon Tavern. Like two gods were fighting and wielding godly weapons that go boom when they hit against surfaces. The sound came from the Boiling Room. Zander and his comrades worried that Isis' brewing was going wrong. “You think Miss Isis is OK in there, Zander?” Gidian questioned. Zander felt his wolf's genuine concern for the old witch. Zander's eyes went blank as he soothed his wolf. “Isis is OK. She knows what she's doing."Hazel bit on her nails as she focused on the loud banging that was causing the rocky surfaces to flake. “Maybe we should go see what's happening." The Luna suggested. But in an outcry, Julia and Layla shouted in unison, “No!” Julia, clearly blushing as she cleared some sweat from her nape with her palm. “Why?” James wanted to know the reason they didn't want anyone disturbing Isis. The look that Julia gave him painted a scene that James now wished he could get out of his head. “I see.”“You see what?” Zander asked, lo
The majestic creature was forced into a dank, dark cave. They had left it curled up in the room's corner, breathing heavy steam from its mouth. Its black, reptilian eyes darted back and forth, surveying the space and looking for threats, but when it saw none, it huffed a sigh of relief. Dust swirled around the cave as the creature reposed, trying to get comfortable. The constant and monotonous dripping of the wet patch on the roof sent a familiar sensation to its eardrums, reminding it so much of home. Dirt and mud discoloured the water as he caught some on his tongue. The creature noticed the small rocks falling from the roof of the cave caused by a distant rumbling. Through hazy visions, it saw two giants fighting over what seemed to be scraps of food on the floor. The creature huffed again. The fighting was causing a more massive headache than the one it already had. If the creature was at full strength, it could part the giants with ease, but it was weak. It scrutinized the fight
King Lucifer stood there, listening to what this human was telling him. A human he allied with some years ago and who helped him to devise a plan to control the world of the supernatural. Lucifer knew this human loathed him, since he, too, was a supernatural creature. A dark wizard, to be exact, but Lucifer knew this human was too weak to challenge him. “His name is Gerard Smith, and he is a bitten." The human spoke with disdain, catching Lucifer's attention. Bernard Delaware hated he had to succumb to this piece of grime who hailed himself a king. But he felt the League of Hunters was not ready to take on the great Dark Wizard. Right then they needed Lucifer's help in defeating the Wolf Pond Pack. But Lucifer didn't see the usefulness of hearing about this bitten wolf until Bernard added, “He is a part of the Demon wolf's pack.”With a cunning grin, Lucifer twirled around to meet Bernard's gaze. “Is that so? Tell me everything that went down.” So, Bernard Delaware informed King Luc
