《Saer Servitude》Chapter 20
Advertisement
Saer got the assumption correct as well, but kept his tongue tied.
"Whatever." Housekeeper shifted the conversation, "If you want to live here then don’t make noise."
"We don’t want to stay here." Fierlo got pumped, "Is there any way we can take to get out from here?"
"Yes, you can. From the door where you came in. But the dog you just saw is the pain in ass. If we go near the door then the dog, no matter where he is, will sense it and bark. Papa Monster will wake up by the barking of his pet and we will get killed."
"Isn't there any other way?"
"This house has no windows so, I guess no."
"What if we kill Papa Monster?" Saer whispered.
"You can't." Housekeeper grinned.
"Don’t doubt my valiance."
"You two pissed your pants by seeing Mother Cyclo. That clearly indicates how valiant you are."
"I used to be a cut-throat. Don’t underestimate me. I have fought battles in past-"
"So you got your sword from battle?" Fierlo added a question.
"No." Saer turned at him.
"See, Papa Monster is not a subject of irony." Housekeeper explained.
"Then let me see the seriousness he has got." Saer sniffed.
Housekeeper remained silent for a while but spoke, "To kill Papa Monster, you will have to find him first."
"In which room does he sleep?"
"I don’t know. Haven’t ever seen him. But we can try following his breath."
They heard deep breathing sound which sometimes turned into whistling.
"Is this his sound?"
"No monster here can be loud as him." Said Housekeeper.
Saer nod and the three of them set off for their quest.
The house which seemed tiny from outside turned out to be endless from inside.

Walking for hours was not becoming fruitful. Sound they were after seemed to come from everywhere. But no matter wherever they went, there was a common factor – glowing cracks on the walls.
"How many monsters are here?" asked Saer.
"Father, mother, son and daughter. Not counting pests." Housekeeper answered, "Tadeas didn’t even miss the fact that the family owns a dog."
Soon they reached to the point where it was impossible to tell if breathing was coming from behind or back.
A cat lay on the floor, which rested immovable.
Fierlo knelt to touch on its back.
"Is this alive?" Fierlo said, stirring it, "It is not breathing."
"Don’t touch it. It is a man-hunter cat." Housekeeper pulled Fierlo.
"It must not be alive. Look at it."
"This cat has been learning to hold its breath for a while. Don’t know what shenanigan it has in its mind."
Housekeeper hopped over him and both of them did the same.
"How can the cat be a man-eater?" Fierlo questioned as they got away from it.
"Let's not talk about it. Just think, if it would try to eat us, we will sense it."
After killing their curiosity with unanswered question, the three of them ventured for their mission, leading them to a place which perhaps was the warmest place in the entire house.
"Papa Monster would love to sleep in a place like this." Saer sensed the warmth to be positive.
Saer's shoe fell apart.
The sole which he had used to escape from castle had separated from upper part of his shoe.
He then began fixing his shoe while Housekeeper and Fierlo were making their way deep inside the passage.
Saer saw them disappear in darkness quicker than they usually did.
Warmth. Saer got alarmed.Wind hit his face like someone was breathing.
He got shaken when he saw a long strand of thick hair reaching near him. Those strands of hair moved along with the wave of foul air.
Whiskers! Saer's eyes rolled up to the ceiling and saw two canines on top of passage.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
