CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
Hopefully I don't catch too much attention today
~
It hadn't been too long since Twig had set off on his own
And already news of the System made it to the throne
The king who ruled the lands in which Twig’s village could be found
Heard the System had emerged and made a fearful sound
“Now of all times, such an awful rumour should descend
It’s as if the world itself is just about to end
Someone tell me, who has seen the System’s holy word
The timing of the System’s message is truly absurd”
~ Name: King Beam ~

The mighty King of Stromland, ruler since he was a child
Upon his birth the god and goddess of leadership smiled
Proven many times in combat, worth of his crown
Fighting to protect his kingdom, down to every town
Advisors to the king nervously talked amongst themselves
Among them were a mix of heroes, humans, dwarves, and elves
Since their kinds’ unification under one leader
The kingdom had been prosperous and grew ever stronger
But now they stood before their king with nothing but bad news
And though they wished to leave the room, none of them could refuse
And so the oldest of them, a wise elf with eyes of blue
Stepped forward to tell the king that the rumours were true
“My king, you know that rarely do deities interfere
Normally achievements are the only news we hear
But recently some gods have begun to speak more freely
And what they’ve said is causing panic to spread too quickly”
Achievement: Honest Advisory
You’ve told the king in plain words that he has cause for concern

Your bravery is something that your young comrades should learn
Share the truth of what you’ve heard for as your deity
I can tell you many gods are scared, including me
“Even now my deity has voiced his own support
I’ve never heard of personal messages of this sort
So I’ll tell you, it is true what the rumours all say
The system spoke to a young village boy just yesterday”
The king’s face grew so pale that his advisors shook with fear
All averting their eyes so as not to meet his leer
“First the portals’ frequency accelerates, then this
Bring this boy to me at once, for something is amiss”
The wise old elf bowed graciously and made arrangements soon
An envoy of the king was ready by that afternoon
To journey to the region where the boy was said to live
And see what vital information that boy had to give”
The journey would take half a day even for royal knights
But they were trained to run for several days and sleepless nights
The pair of messengers would follow rumours to the west
So small it put all of their map reading skills to the test
Luckily they were quite skilled enough that on the way
Several minor portal openings caused no delay
And even though they had no trouble closing them quickly
They couldn’t help but notice their increasing frequency
At one point they did get lost and they had to slow their pace
The trail that led toward the town was getting hard to trace
While walking they began discussing all the recent talk
Making sure of the direction in which they would walk
“I can’t believe another portal opened yesterday
That’s more than I’ve ever seen in just a single day”
“Indeed my friend, if not for your great swordsmanship and skill

Those monsters would have rampaged til nothing was left to kill”
“Do you think the king will order all of us to war?
There’s never been such demand for us heroes before”
“Yes, it’s possible, but it is not for us to know
We can only go where our king tells us we must go”
And so they diligently carried on toward the town
Loyal to the orders of the kingdom and the crown
But after centuries of nothing but prosperity
The king was more than slightly worried for his destiny

The Paradox Prophecy
Thousands of years ago, an alliance between the races of Idoras and the mighty dragons, saved the world from destruction. After many years of relative peace, a dark evil emerges. Aalya, a young girl from the small kingdom of Avani, meets the young Prince Alexandar. When chaos reigns on their peaceful home, Aalya and her friends gear up for an adventure that could very well determine the fate of all life in Idoras. I haven't completely fleshed out the prophecy yet but I wanted to include it because it is an important part of the story. I have decided it would be better to spend some time figuring out the world I am creating and work out all the kinks in the story. I have done a lot of editing in the first seven chapters already. For now, updating will be scarce. I will post all of part one once I am happy with what I have written. I will leave what I have up, but please let me know what you think. I do not own the image I used for the cover.

8 473Return of Chaos
For the longest time, it was thought that the citizens of Earth were the only denizens of the galaxy incapable of developing superhuman abilities — but recent events have flipped that assumption on its head. Between Austin Travis, Mote Emerson, Pierce Bradley, and their friends, Earth is now host to 12 Chaotics… as well as a myriad of mysteries surrounding them. From a new nemesis in the form of a clone, to connections to ancient technology from a long-lost civilization, to the ability to summon powerful legendary weapons, these 12 Chaotics have unknowingly become entangled in something larger than any of them have ever imagined. As if in response to these discoveries, the sinister machinations of galactic evil are churning. The metallic infection, a calamitous nanotechnology “disease” thought to have been vanquished 20 years ago, is slowly returning — and alongside it, a number of conflicts thought to be long past. While they only seek to better grasp their own abilities, Earth’s Chaotics will soon find themselves in the crossfire of returning threats and old heroes. These superpowered Earthians may not have chosen this path through life, but it will still be up to them to determine if history remembers them — to determine if history remembers the saga of the Keys. Return of Chaos is a direct sequel to Chosen Chaos, which begins the Key Saga novel series. Be sure to read Chosen Chaos first, to understand the plot and the characters thus far! Additionally, the Key Saga as a whole takes place 20 years after Rise. You will not need to read Rise to understand the events of Return of Chaos, however the latter will spoil many of the events that occurred in Rise, due to the simple chronology of taking place later in the timeline.
