*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
Somewhere in our world, in a mansion, a little girl was being beaten by a boy before the eyes of his parents who looked at the scene as if it was normal, a common situation.
You could say the girl was far more beautiful than other girls her age.
She had silk like blond hair, and was born with two eyes of different colors, the right one was blue and the left one green.
Her skin was pure white, like she never saw the sun but was at the same time was covered with bruises. Her face was perfectly arranged, she gave the impression of a doll and would make anyone somehow tempted to tend his hand to her.
The boy beating her was her cousin, Keniro Armd, she was beaten almost every day by him to vent his anger.
He was a 12 years old boy with short black hair and the type of kid who wasn't courageous enough to go speak to others. He didn't practice any sport leading to his somewhat chubby appearance, and his thick glasses made him look like one of those boys addicted to video games.
He was often made fun of at school and didn't even have a single friend, he was alone and couldn't bear it.
This family was her foster family who took her in after her mother's death, in order to get her inheritance. Her mother had been a rich businesswoman who held a great amount of money unlike her sister who took debt after debt and who often came to her, begging her to give her some money.
Her mother was a beautiful and kind woman, who couldn't bear any child due to a past accident, she adopted Shina when she was still a baby and cherished her as her own child, if not even more.
Shina had never been to school, she was considered a genius and learned from a personal tutor her mother had employed when she went to work, when she was home she would stay all day with her playing or teaching her.
Shina's aunt hated her successful sister, who at the same time was beautiful, rich, devoted to her job, and who had an incredible daughter who would make all parents jealous.
Her husband is an alcoholic who took his family into many debts, but was now enjoying his new money. The man was violent toward his family and would make you wonder why she married him, his physique would instantly make you think of one of those all muscle gangsters. He was looking at the TV, ignoring his son bullying his niece.

Keniro punched Shina in the stomach making her fall to the ground.
Keniro : "Why is everyone at school ignoring me ?!" He yelled as he kicked her, he was taking all his anger out on her with tears falling from his eyes.
Keniro : "Why aren't you saying anything?! Answer me!" Shina had been beaten for one year now, since her mother’s death, she was now accustomed to being beaten.
Aunt : "Keniro sweetie, stop please... a representative of another of those shitty child welfare associations will be coming tomorrow, it would be bad if we couldn't hide her wounds. Wait until tomorrow evening if you want to continue." She said with a sweet voice.
Aunt : "What are you still doing here ?! Hurry and go back to your room, I don’t want to see you while we’re eating.” She said while glaring at Shina
Aunt : "And don’t even think about going out until tomorrow if you don’t want to end up sleeping in the garden like yesterday!"
Shina : "Yes auntyyyyy..." She said with a low tone.
At that moment the husband threw a bottle next to her which shattered and fell on the ground
Husband : "Hey you bitch, hurry bring me another bottle! By the way, tomorrow I have one of my friend who would like to meet you.” He said, licking his lips.
Aunt : "Oh, why didn't I think of that; she may bring us some money like this! Hurry and clean this up before going back." Pointing at the shattered bottle of whisky.
Shina cleaned up the shattered bottle and brought him a new bottle of whisky, which he enjoyed buying since he obtained the fortune of her mother; before going inside a 2m² closet which served as her bedroom. It was a dirty and dark little room with spider webs all over the ceiling.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
It was now 19h30, her foster family was going to eat, her aunt came and threw her a piece of bread from yesterday’s dinner. It wasn't enough for a growing child but she knew it was better than nothing, the first time she complained she went two days without eating, or drinking any water.
When she was punished, she first she thought about dying to make them suffer, but when she was given some food she immediately ate it, dying from hunger is one of the worst ways to die, you feel like you are eating yourself and are conscious, suffering every minute and every second.
She picked up the bread and started to eat it, it was hard, difficult to chew and had no taste.
After eating this little amount of bread she went to sleep, expecting tomorrow to be as painful as today and live a life of servitude under her foster family as a slave.
Shina woke up in the middle of the night after hearing screaming, she immediately got out of her bed and ran to the house.
She saw her foster family crying and screaming like madmen. She thought 'well... they finally went crazy' but something interrupted her thought; it was the silver light which was reflected from the windows of the mansion.

What she saw from the window shocked her, what she saw was an unbelievably big silver flame falling down from the sky like a meteor.
This silver fireball could be seen from everywhere in the world, nobody saw from where it came from, it just appeared out of nowhere and was falling to the ground.
The fireball wasn't far from the ground and every skyscraper had already began to turn into ash from the heat.
She threw a look at her foster family, their faces were blank, until they saw the damage the flame did to the skyscrapers where they changed into terrified ones. The aunt and Keniro started crying and screaming many things like 'WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US?!' while clinging to each other.
But suddenly, a weak blue light began to cover Keniro's body, his mother went crazy and hugged him even harder while his father kept his distance, the light grew stronger and stronger before he vanished in a bright flash.
Shina could only look at this scene blankly, she then snapped out of it, and while looking at the fireball thought 'Mommy... Is everything finally over?' as she closed her eyes.
When the fireball finally reached the ground, the shockwave produced completely destroyed the whole city, killing everyone there. The fire instantly started to spread at an incredible speed, engulfing the whole planet within a few minutes.
After the surface of the Earth was burned to ashes, the silver flames entered the planet causing it to explode; the strength of the explosion was so great that it destroyed the whole galaxy.
The explosion produced many other silver fireballs which came into contact with other planets, in many other galaxies, exploding and spreading the fireballs once more like a disease. Like this, the whole universe as we knew it was reduced to nothing.
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
'Is it over?' thought Shina, she felt tired and weak but more than anything else she felt scared; she felt someone’s warm hand on her face. It made her feel safe and gave her the courage to open her eyes.
She slowly opened her two beautiful eyes and what she saw was a woman whose beauty she had never seen the like of, not even on the TV.
The woman had long black hair and smiled at her with a smile that came from her heart, but at the same time she was emitting a dark aura around her which could freeze the heart of anyone.
Her beautiful long black hair went all the way to her knees, and had a face which would drive a goddess to madness from envy, her eyes were emitting a faint red light, she had pure red eyes, and they were bloody red.
She was dressed in a pure black robe with some small red embroidery, it matched her look, she didn't have big breast, but they weren't small either. It suited her body which was around the medium size of a 20 year-old woman.
(???) : "My cute child, I’ve waited so long to finally meet you..." she whispered as tears dropped from her blood red eyes.
(???) : "Is she finally awake?" Said another voice, it was a cold voice coming from a man, his voice which could charm anyone who heard it and make them trust him while at the same time respect him.
The man had long silver hair that went a little past his shoulders and two golden eyes that were emitting a weak light.
The man was somewhat surrounded by a golden aura which could make anyone feel warm and safe; the total opposite from the black haired woman.
His face would make you think he is around 25, he looked like some knight from a novel, but his face was stiff and gave the impression that he possess a frozen heart. He was dressed in white medieval style clothes with a golden dragon all across the chest.
(???) : "Yes, she is finally awake!" Replied the woman energetically while crying, the man approached her, he looked down on Shina and his eyes became teary, but he somewhat managed to get his composure back.
(???) : "But you are late you know!" yelled the woman, "Did you finally destroy it?" She asked with a cold voice which was the total opposite of how she spoke to Shina.
(???) : "Yeah, we should have sent her to another place, somewhere else that had less of those disgusting beings" He answered with anger in his voice.
(???) : "After all this time, we finally have a daughter, Come on don't scare her!" She said changing of subject while handing Shina to him.
'What is happening? How can they possibly have golden and red eyes? And where are we?' She was shocked from what had happened, while around her there was no ground, no trees and no sky. Everything around her was just black.
The man took Shina in his arms, and started to stroke her hair, she felt nice and couldn't think; a feeling of nostalgia began to grow in her.
When he stopped she suddenly snapped out of it and realized that they were lifting her really easily, she then looked at her hand, it was a cute little hand that belonged on a baby, she had seen one when her mother was alive, but it was strange, she was 4 years old, why was she a baby ?
She tried to speak but no word other than 'Bauuuu...' came out of her mouth, she then remembered that babies couldn't speak and her appearance made her two 'parents' smile at her cute attempt.
She suddenly felt tired and instinctively rubbed her eyes.
(???) : "She must be tired” said the man shortly as he handed her back to the woman.
(???) : "It's time to sleep honey, don’t worry, mommy is next to you".
Shina couldn't resist the feeling of securing brought by the woman and fell asleep.

Witch Hunt. A Warhammer Fiction
The adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt continue!Adebar von Bolstedt, fugitive noble scion of the Empire, stuck in the Great Forest of Talabecland, is gravely wounded by the bestial denizens of the dark wintery woods, only surviving due to the timely arrival of aid and relief in the form of the masters of this land.What begins as a pleasant stay with the wild noblemen of Talabecland soon becomes a matter of faith and tradition as old as the Empire itself, when he finds himself trying to root out a coven of witches from a society that prides itself on rural living and knowledge of the mysteries of the wild. This quest will either see von Bolstedt's shaken faith in his own god reforged into an intolerant blade, or shattered like ice. Word from the AuthorGreetings! Witch Hunt plays out in the much beloved Warhammer Fantasy setting (owned, of course, by Games Workshop). Do not fret, however, as I've made it a point to make the story digestible even to the uninitiated, and maybe even be a good introduction to the setting. This is the second part of the adventures of Adebar von Bolstedt, as such I recommend reading part one, titled "The Hand of Sigmar" first.While I cannot claim the places, concepts and gods etc. mentioned within as my own, the story and all characters flowed from my own fingers.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
