《Witches of the North Book 1: Winter Journey》Ch2: Gates: Ian, i
Advertisement
Ian's sharp handsome features and striking teal eyes were framed by wild dark hair, two locks of which had been allowed to grow longer so that they were left hanging by the sides and covering half of his pale cheeks. As far as Chris knew this curious hairstyle had a purpose, although he was never sure he quite understood it; and even if he did, he didn't think he would care: Ian had an air of self-importance about him at all times, strengthened by a frequent sneer, which made everything he said sound like a thinly veiled insult. He was especially arrogant regarding anyone who wasn't a Witch, and when it came to Chris specifically, Ian often liked to remind him that he, as opposed to Chris, was a pure-blooded Witch of a respectable and noble family in Northland, and that he was the one who had been promised to Winter at an early age. Chris found the latter hilarious, as Ian himself seemed to harbour no real romantic feelings towards Winter (or any girl, as far as observation had proven), in addition to the fact that, if you looked into Northland's official records, Winter had been recorded as assassinated twenty years ago.
Ian also happened to be one of the very few people in the world who knew Chris wasn’t human.
Chris still remembered, clear as day, their first meeting - back when he and Winter had first arrived at the Gates in the Balkasla.

As a first time writer, I'd love some constructive criticism as well as general comments about my work as a whole. This story is something I've been kind of thinking about for the better part of a few months and I actually got anxious enough to attempt to put it in writing. Releases may be sporadic as I'm currently in school, and chapter lengths will vary depending on how much I feel i need to write to get my point across. The tags are temporary and may change. I plan on using a cultivation/mana system as this will be somewhat of a crossover
