In exhausting dreams, There is no solace, no peace In unconsciousness, There is no escape; fears release Thoughts morph into demons, Stalking, Watching, Preying, Panic sets inAs courage weakensWalking, Running, Sprinting As claws dig into flesh No turning back The wound is fresh Howls form into words “In your imagination, you are free” Lies and deceit That is a guarantee For demons never let you rest Waking or asleep Impr...

Chapter 27 HuntedThe mist was flowing through the stone paths keeping low, so it was hard to see the floor, and the air was cool and damp. Lowenna was experiencing deja-vu. She rounded another corner, nearly slipping on the slick floor. Stopping for a second to catch her breath, she could feel her heart pumping. She knew couldn’t stay here for long. She was being hunted. The fear she had been experiencing was getti...
I awoke on my side, staring at my alarm clock. The red LED lights were declaring the fact that was 2:58 in the morning. In the second that the time registered in my mind, the LED’s rearranged and it became 2:59. I gradually became aware of the fact that I needed the bathroom and, inwardly groaning that I had to get out of my warm bed and walk to the bathroom, I tried to get up. I said try because that’s exactly what happe...
Shades drawn to hide from sight; As unseen demons cast their light; Seeking to catch me unaware; I can't find rest from their hellish stare; My tears flow free from unhealed sorrow; Fighting night terror, till the dawn of tomorrow; Wounded soul lies raw and bare; As I endure this nightly affair; As unseen eyes watch through the night; I pray for solace to ease my fright.
Images flash in my mind Memories play back Like an invasive parasite Forcing the reliving Of moments best forgotten Old demons are laughing at me When love fades away And the darkness prevails All gates are open For the hateful spawn to spew forth In my darkest hours I shall rise or shall fall Will I fight or will I succumb to this pain I take a deep breath And plunge into anxiety Forcing myself down This decrepit path A...
Prologue Dimitri held his breath as he watched the dark phantom wrapped in a ragged cloak of an archmage fly overhead. He was sure Thael's invisibility cloak shrouded them from the spirit, but he dared not make a sound, even breathing, while the creature flew so close to them. Though the woods were thick where they ventured, the twisting grey-brown trees of the Shade Wood never seemed to produce a leaf, only sporadic bran...
Living things I can't undo.Bitter-tasting, like a rue. Nearly always askew.Into a looking glass I peer.Manifestation so unclear.Expression fraught with fear.Different gateways to my soul.One my present view,One I feel was stole.One looking back,One nearing it's final goal.One eye black,The other azure.One darkened,The other unsure.One filled with color,One dreadfully insecure.Eyes wrought with confusion.Left blackened by...
Jake tilted his head up to the night sky, the moon now nearing its peak will soon descend. He stopped following the rest of the group shortly after he started. He honestly did not care what happened to the girl. It wasn't like she had done anything wrong except attempting to decapitate him with a towel holder. He sighed as he sat in the corner of Dia's café. It had long since closed for the night, but he decided to take h...
The Frigid Prince: Chapter 6"Enaguille... is that you?" Methais asked fearfully.The frigid prince doubled a look around him then asked, "Who the fuck else would I be?"The group relaxed, if only a little, and Methais said, "You uh...""Man you look mad ugly right now," Yadriel said.Igor elbowed him in the gut. "What Yadriel means, I think, is that your um… appearance is so different since last we saw you. Which wasn't that...
Prince Rugal: Chapter 2Beholden to their sights, Rugal and Iris found the next floor was a city taken from the pages of time. The buildings and streets were all cleaner than gems. Tall white spires stood out in the distance with large blank holes spinning around them as part of the design. Everything looked like it was made for people nearly twice the size of normal humans, (more around Curth's size in fact.)Rugal was fro...
The Frigid Prince: Chapter 5As the others rushed to aid their friend Enaguille began zapping their feet with his magic; encasing them up to the ankle with an ice bracer. They struggled to break their feet free but couldn't. Methais turned to Enaguille and shouted, "What the hell man? Igor is in there he needs our help!""The only sound that travels in or out of that darkness is what the tower wants," Enaguille said. "We ma...
Thrain and company: Chapter 8Arriving on the next floor, Rugal and Garren gently set down Iris and Veera and used their bags for makeshift pillows. Then, alongside everyone else, they sat down exhausted; ready to sleep right there. Thrain remained seated but looked around the floor they were on.It was dimly lit, but he could see that ahead lay some sort of dark chasm, almost like an abyss. Over it was a narrow set of rock...
Thrain and company: Chapter 7"Thrain, Thrain honey wake up. Come look at your newborn daughter."Thrain rolled in his bed and mumbled lightly, "Jessebelle?""Yes dear, it's me. Now get up and say hello to our daughter Emily," Jessebelle said.Coming to his senses, Thrain snapped his eyes open and shot up. He looked around him; he was back in his room inside the morning keep, his beautiful wife in bed next to him cradling a y...
Thrain and company: Chapter 6Everyone was on full alert the second time they went up to that rocky floor: weapons drawn, steps shallow and prepared. Though they didn't find any demons right away, nor were there any within sight, they kept vigilant and prepared.When they felt safe enough, Thrain turned towards Lessa and Adelin and said in a quiet tone, "Alright Adelin your apprentice is up; we will safeguard this area whil...
