    CHAPTER 21: Lady Helena “Come on, Adam, wake up.” “Nuuuuuuuh…” “Come oooon,” the voice said again, this time with a considerable whine added. “You’re going to be late for your first day. The sun’s going to be up before you.” “Let it,” I squawked. I was feeling exceptionally drowsy and there was an annoying ringing in my ear that sounded remarkably like Jacob’s voice. I also had a slight headache that I knew sleep would easily solve if only the ringing would just leave me alone. “Uhhh,” came

    CHAPTER 20: New Recruits Javier said on our way back that he would have no choice but to ignore us once we entered the city. He didn’t do that though. We weren’t hanging out like friends or anything but he never ignored us. In the rare moments we would encounter each other in the halls, he would often smile at Jacob and me. Sometimes, it looked like a sad smile, especially if he was with other people at the time. It gave me the feeling that he would rather have been with us than his present com

    CHAPTER 19: Aenhol's Tale “Come on, push harder.” “I’m pushing as hard as I can, why don’t you push harder.” “What the hell do you think I’m doing, having tea?” There’s no need to carry that tone young man,” said Magister Aenhol. “Well, he’s starting to bug me,” Jacob said. I shook my head at Jacob and Javier’s bickering. They have been at it for the last ten minutes. “Why can’t we just blow this wall apart?” Javier asked in a half-exhausted voice. I could see his face beaded with sweat i

    CHAPTER 18: Lord of the Dead There was no mistaking it. He was a dead man. His face was sunk deep into his skull. If there were any muscles or fats left on that face, they would have been no more than a washcloth thick. His lips were dark as though they’d been rotting for quite some time. I had a feeling they weren’t even lips anymore. His nose was almost completely gone. All that was left were two vertical slits and I somehow doubted that they were needed to breathe. His ears, if he had any,

    CHAPTER 17: A Promise to Keep I waited in that cavern for the Seer to return. It soon became clear though that she wasn’t going to show herself again and that my meeting with her was done. Everything she said confused me more than helped. As I made my way out of the massive crystal room, I pondered over the things that the Seer discussed. She certainly dropped a few bombs in such a short amount of time. Other than changing the very foundation of my beliefs in magic by saying all magic came fro

    CHAPTER 16: The Seer’s Prophecy It was the Ice Queen. “You’re the seer?” I asked, thoroughly confused. “Is that so hard to believe, Adam?” she said in a voice so calm it was unnatural to her. She almost seemed like a real woman. “You can’t be,” I stuttered. This half-dressed owner of a highly questionable inn could not possibly be the legendary Seer. “You’re… just not…” The malicious smile on her face subsided into something closer to amusement. “Not quite what you expected?” she asked as t

    CHAPTER 15: Javier Bienvenido Jacob and I headed towards the stables together before dawn. We packed enough clothes for the days we were going to be away. We also brought along the food we bought the previous day which was composed of bread, some stuffing for it, and a few assortments of fruits. We arrived at the stables before anyone else did. “What do you think it’s going to be like?” Jacob asked me. “Have you ever met a seer before?” “I don’t know. There aren’t really many seers and they

    CHAPTER 14: Gifts Jacob and I made our way back to the castle and as Jacob had predicted, we hardly had enough time to get back and get ready to meet Magister Aenhol. We hurriedly rushed to our room, took quick showers, and changed into clean clothes. Soon, we were headed outside again. Magister Aenhol was standing by the castle’s large doors. “Aah, I see you managed to procure the package. If you don’t mind carrying it for awhile longer, we will bring it with us as we head out,” he said casu

    CHAPTER 13: Secrets I came to realize that there were two things I really hated in this world. The first thing I hated was hating anyone. Despite the fact that Marcus has been making my life miserable for years, it has never reached that point where I hated him. I was angry at times sure, but mostly I was afraid of what malicious thing he’d do next. But after that fight in the garden involving him and Jacob, I’ve come to hate both boys with a passion. And I absolutely hated hating them. Sure

    CHAPTER 12: Different Marcus has always been the bullying type for as long as I’d known him. When I was nine, he would fling little bits of paper onto the back of my head from his seat behind me (he always seemed to find ways to sit behind me). They were moist and would get lodged in between strands of my hair. I would walk around looking like I had a serious case of dandruff and it didn’t help me make friends at all; not that his interference would have changed things otherwise really. I was

    CHAPTER 11: The Mage Council Jacob and I spent the next two weeks training. He attended all my classes with me which mostly involved theory. Some of our classmates actually approached him and seemed to be interested in him. But as soon as they found out that he was from the village, they would promptly find an excuse to be anywhere else then leave. I was worried that this would hurt Jacob’s feelings but each time I looked at him he seemed perfectly content having just me as a friend. Without

    CHAPTER 10: The Ice Queen’s Taverna Jacob met me outside the shower room with a somewhat confused look. “Ready to go?” I asked him with as friendly a smile I could muster. I didn’t want to have to explain to him why I rushed out. “Sure,” he replied and seemed to drop what was bothering him. We deposited our clothes back in the room and left. Jacob asked me whether or not we should lock it and I explained to him that doors around the castle were enchanted. They will open only for those who ha

    CHAPTER 09: Students of Arantiva Jacob and I have been seated outside the Gathering Hall for the last hour and thirty minutes. When we arrived at the city, Magister Aenhol spoke to me about arrangements that needed to be done for Jacob. He asked me not to discuss anything that happened in the forest with anyone, at least not yet. I was looking forward to going back into the castle. Finally seeing home seemed to have brought back all the exhaustion I felt the last few days. I may have had a sma

    CHAPTER 08: Arantiva The journey back to Arantiva was spent mostly in silence. I think Jacob was still trying to cope with everything that’s happened since that day we met in the forest. I began wondering if he was happy back there in the village. I know I didn’t have an entirely difficult time adjusting to my new home. I also knew I could never go back after what happened. They would have killed me without a second thought. I wanted to see how Jacob would react when he first saw the castle th

    CHAPTER 07: Reservations That night when Jacob broke down in my arms, we didn’t talk about anything else. I had questions buzzing in my head but I knew that he probably had more. It seemed that he hasn’t had experience with magic like this before and it was undoubtedly confusing. Heck, I’m familiar with magic but still I’m confused. He fell asleep in my arms and soon I too fell asleep. I felt an odd sense of peace lying there with him on the soft ground. It almost seemed like he belonged there

    CHAPTER 06: All Things Lost My eyes finally opened. I was on the forest floor. Trees were scattered about but not as many as the ones I saw in the Anthium forest. We were in a meadow and the stars were shining clearly over our heads. I was on a soft patch of grass almost as if they were placed there for me. It wasn’t the cleanest place to lie on but at least it was comfortable. There was a source of light coming from behind me. I turned around and saw a small campfire burning there. Seated a

    CHAPTER 05: Jacob’s Story My eyes wouldn’t open. I was wet. I was hungry. And, I was confused. Somehow I could see but I also knew without a doubt that my eyes were closed. I could feel them closed. They were struggling to open but stubbornly remained shut. And yet, I could see. I tried to focus on what I was seeing. I was looking up into a wooden ceiling lined with straw. Little bits of light would pierce through spots which weren’t covered or sealed properly. I was lying down on someth

    SMOKING IS GAY “Would you mind not smoking here?” said the man who was seated next to me and who did not even bother to lower the newspaper from which his probably upset face is scoffing at the newly exhaled smell of tobacco. He has the nerve to ask me that? Does he own the park? The bench we’re sitting on? The air we’re breathing? Did he pay for a fee that gave him the right or the privilege to ask me what to or not to do? I really wanted to roll up that cheap newspaper and smack his

    NUMBERS ON THE WALL I needed a blowjob. It’s been awhile since I’ve had one. The last girl that stuck around with me long enough to give me one left about six months ago when she realized I wasn’t what she expected. I don’t know what she expected really. It’s not like I’ve tried being dishonest about myself. If anything, I’m sometimes too honest to people. I don’t have any dreams or ambitions and when I tell people that they just assume I’m playing a joke on them. No college graduate w

    CHAPTER 04: Magic Unleashed We walked cautiously towards the village. As far as I could tell, it was completely deserted. There were many huts sprawled about. There were also these large vertical straw statues of some sort. They reminded me of scarecrows I read about in history books. There were three of them and they were large and menacing. They could have been seen from miles away if the forest did not obstruct the view. It made me wonder why they were put up there if not to warn enemies fr

    CHAPTER 03: Return to the Village I met up with Magister Aenhol in the stables early the following day. I packed two sets of clothes for myself and some bread, cheese and smoked ham. My teacher was just wearing his robes. “Sir, aren’t you bringing anything with you?” “Of course, I am, I’m bringing you, aren’t I?” He started walking towards the horses. I didn’t know what to say to that so I just kept quiet. He must have noticed my discomfort because he paused and turned towards me. “Pardon

    CHAPTER 02: The Warning So, here I am. I’m telling you my story not because I want you to know, but because I’m hoping you already know because you were with me that day. If you are the spirit who spoke to me back then when I was a boy rescued from a life of darkness and death, please speak to me. You said you would return when the time was right. Somehow, I feel like that time is now or will be very soon. And somehow that same feeling is compelling me to return to the village. There is a da
