《Heart of Creation》CH 6: Seeing Zeon For the First Time
Advertisement
Geography class was boring as always, I had to learn most of this to learn to read. The Temple only had books on history, geography, and Politics. Our temple geography books went into ore deposits, where this one didn't.
We live in the city of Karh, which is the capital of Arlan, and is located on the western shore. Arlan's western border is a shallow straight called Breached Coast. We have two neighbors to the south, the White Sea's only coastal country Remo, with its twin capitols Caliardo, where the queen resides, and Albino, the King's city.
Slightly to the east of them is the landlocked country of Togarini, home of the Sylvian, with the capitol of Kaine. Our northern border is the country of Galgados, and although its western border is the Breached Coast, and the Northern border is the North Sea, Galgados's Capitol, Hecate, is near its eastern border.
Our Western border is the largest country East of the Breached coast, and stretches from Arlan to its west, to the Interior Sea, on its east; which on the map looks like a Gulf, with an island in the middle.
Abel has three major cities, Sepher, in the South west, and closest to Arlan, Yirath, which is in the south east, but far enough from the coast to not be able to be targeted by pirates. Then in the North east is the city of Tiberias.
On the globe I'm currently studying, Abel's capitol of Archangel appears to the north of Karh, and center of the equator. Making the majority of Arlan in the Southern Hemisphere.
These four countries are the only ones that we are being taught this year. Today, my class schedule changes, and I have Independent Study instead of math. In my old life, I had just earned my masters degree in physics, at 17. My my missing language memories included the symbols of the formulae, but once I learned the symbols again, let's just say I don't need to learn 5 year old math.

The school hocked it up to me having an earth affinity gift, so I can manipulate physics. Although I still don't know how. But my Independent Study today is with an earth Zeonist. I'm looking forward to finally learning something about it.
Mr. Simon calls for us to put our books away, and then instructs us to get out our math books. Since my aptitude was tested in secret, my least favorite person was the one who spoke up when I stood to walk out.
"Aww, the poor gifted doesn't even know math, as expected of a temple brat." Charles was officially the only student in this class who only ever read notes from me. A few students would get them once in a while, just to keep up the act. But I never used my voice if I directed a comment to him. I walked up to the front of the class, and wrote out the formula for the golden ratio, then hydraulic pressure differentials, then the formula for vectored velocity. Then left a message:
'You have not caught up to me, or close to me. When you can explain these, il give you more.'
"Ms. Heart, this one and this one are far above what I'm allowed to teach." He then pointed to the golden ratio formula , and then what he said dumbfounded me. "But what is this one?"
For the first time in this life, I face-palmed. I then took out my note pad, wrote the formula, and then simply wrote: 'this is a simplified version of what I call the Golden Ratio. It's found throughout nature. I handed him the note, then left to go to my class.
"She has affinity with these pathways, maybe there is something to this." I heard him mumble as I left.

I think I just started something.
When I got to my new class room a very beautiful woman, comparable to Natalie, was already in the room, she nodded to Natalie, then looked at me. I then saw another woman on the floor, bound and gagged.
"I didn't realize this one is protected by the sisters, I will revoke the contract. Pardon my intrusion of your charge, Sister Natalie." She nodded, then snapped her fingers, and disappeared into a cloud of black smoke.
"Demeter help us, the Sisterhood." She ran to the other woman, unbound her, grabbed me, I felt her move Zeon around us, and my vision went blurry, I was then back at the Temple.
"Stay here, I have to take care of this. Go straight to Oracle Darien, tell him these words first: Sister Natalie is hunting." After making me say it three times, she disappeared from in front of me. Then it hit me, she has the Gift, and uses the air pathway.
I ran straight to the office, and when I said those words, Darien looked mad. He then pushed me into a hidden room behind his office.

Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope
