5 The sun was already fading on the sea’s horizon. The Sura Clan’s ship was well-tended and busy. The crew was loading cargo into the hold. Azula had mentioned that the ship would sail back to Sura Island once they were ready. Raithion stood at the top of the gangplank watching the sun dip down on the horizon. The calm seas in the distance were enticing. He suddenly wanted to join Azula’s crew and discover what Sura Island looked like. Perhaps sail beyond the island to find what

Oh my, this is so very sad. May he rest in peace—condolences to his family and his friends.

Chapter Seventeen At the Inter Clan Court in Anit’s Taesi, Amu led Cale and Eren through intricate hallways filled with ministry officials and peacekeepers. Cale held his aura tight, aware of the members of the Five Sentinels lurking in the shadows. They watched him with wary intentions. Cale understood their concerns. He was not an easy guest to have in such an independent place. Anit was cautious with his kind. He was sure the sentinels who watched him were from the most powerful of

Can Our Worlds Meld? Axel watched Jeha when he asked his question. Jeha’s blue eyes were difficult to ignore, but what was more interesting was that Jeha’s expression was blank. There was nothing to read, nothing to decipher. Axel decided this was not the first time someone had asked Jeha if he was a mob boss. Axel frowned. The butterflies in his stomach turned sour. Why did he feel so deflated at the prospect of Jeha as a mob boss? Axel had hoped, maybe, t

@akascrubber hanging out in my outline is so awesome, love it Thanks for reading. @Cane23 Azula feels the same. @Danilo Syrtis Thanks for catching my sentence structure issues. I've made the necessary changes. Gesi was the one that was twenty-three not Sazama. Thank you so much for taking the time.

4 “Sir,” Azula said, facing the magistrate of the Naga Port Town. “I’m here to report a series of thefts.” “Yes, you’ve already said that,” the magistrate said, his attention on the bowl of grapes on the desk before him. He sorted them out, one by one, removing skins and piling them on a small saucer. Azula frowned at the habit. Who peeled grapes? The magistrate’s office was a hall with six other desks arranged around the room. Six officers sat at their desks, each one b

This is high praise.💐😁 I am running away with it. Thanks so much for reading.

Typos in my life🌻🌻 yes it was. A sunflower for letting me know.

Jeha’s Delinquents Jeha passed out before they reached their destination. Axel checked his vitals with a deep frown. “What is it?” Ryan asked from the front passenger seat. Ryan held a walkie-talkie, and his attention was on the black SUVs ahead of them. Axel assumed he was talking to his colleagues, so he worked on resting Jeha’s head back against the backseat. He checked Jeha’s left wrist and was glad to discover an expensive watch. He removed it from Jeha’s wrist and

3-1 Magnus rode his horse like a man possessed when he received news of Azula’s plan to counter the robberies plaguing the clan. He rode fast on busy cobbled paths, his assistant shouting warnings to save anyone who did not notice his haste. Yaitan’s workshop was where Azula managed his devious plans. The young man was probably stirring up a large force of trouble. The thought of the consequences had Magnus urging his horse into a faster pace. Yaitan’s workshop was hidden in a cav

Ch 2-1 A majestic mountain stood in the middle of the Sura Island. Under this mountain, a series of tunnels existed. These tunnels were built in the hundreds of years the Sura Clan had called the island home. Generations came, passed their knowledge to the youngsters, and moved on. Youngsters grew up and taught the next generation. The cycle continued until mining and working with ore became a way of life for the Sura. The Sura Clan lived with deep loyalties to family. Theirs was a com

Axel Wakes up to a Rude Surprise Axel left the hospital on Friday morning with only three goals. Food, shower, and sleep. Axel stopped at the restaurant in front of his building because he knew the chef. It was early, but she always had ingredients in her pantry for him. Chef Suzie took one look at him and came out minutes later with his usual order of Thai chicken soup and a veggie sandwich to go with it. He thanked her with a grin and blew her a kiss. Food dealt with,

Arc 1: The Case of the Forged Silver Coins Chapter 1 -1 The air was rife with the scent of burning wood, baking bread, fried fish, and fresh wood shavings. All of it mixed in the wind, but the baker crossing the cobbled street paid no mind to these mixed scents. He was used to them, having worked in the busy markets of the capital city, Genad, all his life. Instead, he hurried into the exchange bureau with a spring in his step. The baker carried four bags filled with silver from h

Part I Troubles in Serene Waters An Introduction Once upon a time, there existed an empire named Lyria. The Empire of Lyria was a progressive collection of six states governed by a Basileus, named so, for he was a king of all kings. An illustrious parliament in the capital city of Genad helped the Basileus manage the empire and its people. The prime minister, assisted by fifteen cabinet ministers, led Lyria’s imperial government and answered to the Basileus. The imperial parl
