《Prince Of the Abyss》The Feast
Advertisement
Back In the Luminous Knights house in the material order. The group is gathered at the dining room to have a small feast in celebration of Jackel's success at realizing his gift. Raphael prepared a big turkey stuffed with bread and cheese, there was a basket of freshly baked bread, a dish of steamed broccoli and carrots and a large bowl of mashed potatoes topped with gravy.
There was a sense of merriment in the air as the group is reminded of their old days together sharing similar meals in celebration. As they were reminiscing, Michael entered the room with five middle aged men all dressed in white robes. At the chest of the robe was a red cross.
"It's shameful to see the villains of the whole world all gathered in this holy place. Sharing a feast in the name of the glorious sun." Michael said with resentment
The group stopped eating. Constantine brought a turkey leg to his mouth and realized the mood in the air, then stopped midway as if posing for a painting.
"Brother, this is a moment of celebration. We should leave the past behind us, every sinner deserves salvation after all" Raphael stood up in protest.
"You should be reminded these are not just sinners, they are who the sinners worship and embody. without these demons, the world would be without sins!" Michael said with passion
"There would also be no virtue. you know well there is always two sides to a coin" Raphael said in defence.
"It matters not, we have gathered and decided our order has no room for the fallen ones to taint the name of father sun. The sinners are to be released from our guidance and be left on their own." Michael said with authority.
"But we got direct orders from the prophet to aid in their redemption!" Raphael said vehemently

"You forget who is in charge brother" Michael shot an angry stare at Raphael
Raphael slumped in defeat and did not protest any further.
"You sinners can finish this meal but leave the place immediately after, I don't want to see any of you again." Michael said as he turns to leave the group.
The room was silent as everyone except Constantine lost their appetite. Constantine was the only one who was relived to be given permission to keep eating.
Raphael looked apologetically at the group and said "I am sorry, I can't do anything for you guys"
"We don't blame you Raphael. Thank you for all you have done for us so far" Rydia said with a cheerful smile.
As if rehearsed, the group gets up in synchronicity and prepares to leave. This is with the exception of Constantine who is still working on the turkey leg.
He looks up at the five comrade who were now standing with a look of disappointment. Constantine reluctantly puts down the turkey leg, clapped his hands and got up from his seat.
"Well, We still walk this road together" Hillel said to reassure the group.
"Blessed be, fallen ones" Raphael said in prayer as the group leaves the Order of Luminous Knights.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
