《The Tale of The Silver Souls》Unfortunately to understand there must be a prologue
Advertisement
Have you ever felt that you don’t fit in or that you were meant for something else in your life other than what you already have?
Well sorry to disappoint, but your answer is of no relevance whatsoever for this particular story.
No, neither you nor me is the star of this retelling.
The Star of the show is a girl.
This particular girl have always fit in, lived a perfectly normal life, but have been bored out of her mind. When the opportunity to change comes forth, she jumps at the opportunity. Which happens to be the start of a chain of events that will lead to an ancient battle.
A battle between good and evil, light and darkness and all the other opposites that represent two contradicting opinions. And as always in a conflict stands the question of which side is right.
However, that question of which side that is right or wrong always depends on which side you are looking from.
Anyhow, let’s once more focus on the girl. This person will have a huge influence on both sides, since she doesn’t particularly care about things that people normally concern themselves about. She can be willful, generous and kind when she wants to, but also ruthless, cruel and filled with greed. She represents both sides of humanity, both the good and bad. I am not telling you that she is some kind of perfect human or malevolent monster, no, flawed as she may be she is only someone that listens to her own heart and doesn’t pretend to be anything or anyone other than herself.
For that is one of the greatest weaknesses and strongest assets of humanity, we pretend to be kind and good, that we are selfless, just to satisfy something deep inside our souls. Those who will deny this are either lying to those who are listening or lying to themselves.
Anyhow, let us begin this story of the most honest human in the world, a girl of 20 years.
"It begins with life,
It begins with death.
It is the beginning of the end,
It is the end of the beginning."

To Burn a Kingdom
It has been centuries since Gods and Angels forsook the world of Ashaari, leaving its people Faithless and divided as Magic begins to fade. But some of their powers still remain, embedded deep in the earth as rare Gems and sometimes, in blood. Wars are waged and fought over these Gems, for what little Magic they provide. But now, a new prophecy has arisen. The Angels will return and with them, comes Magic and hysteria. - In the kingdom of Illya, Princess Arellia Virtris lives a life of opulence but she is miserable; a caged puppet whose strings are controlled by the members of her court.

When they meet and tragedies unfold, their decisions will ultimately trigger a series of events that will alter the course of history. *** Warning: This novel is grimdark and will contain descriptions that some readers may find disturbing.
