《The Black Sheep》Prologue

The detective slipped a plastic bag over his hand and reached into the fountain to retrieve a bagel that was floating slowly by.
"Is that a finger?", asked another officer as he pointed to something laying on the stone rim of the fountain.
"Looks like it. Tell crime-scene to grab some shots of that and around the perimeter, too." He held the bagged bagel up close to his face and illuminated it with his flashlight. "I hate poppy seeds. They get stuck in your teeth. Eat one of these and you'll be pulling them out for a week."
"Well, I wouldn't suggest eating that one. And Jesus, man. Practice some good oral hygiene. If you brush your teeth, the seeds aren't a problem." With his flashlight, the second officer scanned the ground, trying to imagine the events that transpired. "So, Steve, got any theories?"
Steve glanced at his notebook and back at the smattering of broken headstones, smoking patches of grass, and then back to his notebook. "Let's see, we've got a crime scene in the oldest cemetery in the city. We've got what appears to be the dismembered..."
"Exploded." interjected the other officer. "Forensics say the burn marks indicate he exploded."
"Right. EXPLODED remains of a Caucasian male. Another corpse burnt to an unidentifiable crisp. What looks like exhumed remains. Hundreds of casings from multiple calibers of weapons. Impact points in every direction that indicates it was a pray-n-spray. Tire tracks that appear to be from a truck or SUV. Apparent burn marks on a dozen headstones and crypts. No signs or connections to known drug activity or gangs. And given the corpse...or at least the upper torso, was still wearing a gold necklace, it kind of rules out a robbery. Am I forgetting anything?"

"The bagel."
"Oh. And a half-eaten bagel. So, yeah. One theory."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"

8 159The Unlit Flame
Gray. His hair, his clothes, his ability, his identity. To Kezner, gray represented his whole life, but there was just one thing about it he found funny. Gray is created by mixing black and white, so why is it he only experienced the black of life and not a tinge of white? The Black Flame incident that occured in the capital of the planet Zeklon was unprecedented, especially in the damage caused. Hundreds upon hundreds of corpses were swallowed to ease the hunger of the black flames. The black flames not only ate his family, but his happiness. Now an orphan, facing his last year of high school before moving to a higher education, Kezner is simply aimless, a wanderer of life, leaving behind a trail of nothing but black flames.
8 219The Stone of Predestination
In a world very similar to our own, the Energy is the driving force of many big and small miracles, and the people who control it are revered, loved and hated by the ones born un-gifted. Karil is an orphan and would give anything, even his own life, to become one of the masters of the Energy. At the day of the final exam, he is reviled the horrible truth – he does not have the gift. But is that really so? Karil plunges in a turbulent adventure trough woods, deserts, and sometimes even through his own mind, looking for the answer to the question who, or rather what he is. But nothing is what it seems – friends are enemies, enemies are friends, his parents are not exactly his parents, and the border between good and evil disappears. And over all this looms the shadow of The Stone of Predestination – the greatest weapon ever created. There is no time to lose! The Stone must not fall into the Master’s hands, or something really, really bad would happen. On Karil’s fragile shoulders now falls the burden to prevent the end of the world… or to fulfil the Oracle’s prophecy and destroy it with his own hands.
