《The Devil's Parcel》Chapter 16: New born Child
Advertisement
Lilith ran to her house with Michael in pursuit. Lilith's mind was racing; she wasn't ready for her egg to hatch, nor was she prepared to be a mom, but she had to be ready.
Lilith made it home and ran into her bedroom, where she found everyone waiting.
"You finally made it!" said Lillia
The egg was cracking, ready to reveal the most significant moment in Lilith's life.
Abel, on the other hand, drew his scythe.
"What is that for?!" asked the worried Lilith.
"Dragons have a tendency to be hostile during birth."
Lilith gulped hard and prepared to handle any situation; The egg finally broke and revealed an adolescent-looking boy with jet black hair.
The boy walked forward almost menacingly.
Abel gripped his scythe tighter but then loosened it when he saw the boy going for a hug.
"It's so good to finally see you, mom!" said the boy
Lilith stood there in shock, not knowing what to do; however, she hugged her son back.
Reality hit her all at once. Lilith began crying tears of joy because she now had a son. Someone she would love till the end of time.
Gord knelt down next to the two and said to the boy, "Hello kid, my name is Gord, and I'm your Grandpa."
"I know who you are, Grandpa. I know who all of you are." The boy gestured to everyone in the room
"Except for you." The boy was pointing at Abel
"And why is that?" Abel said in response
"I know your name, but that's about it. Nothing else."
"I see what's going on. Alastor didn't fully transfer his traits."
"What do you mean?" Said the puzzled Lilith
"When dragons have their children, the parents can give their child their battle experience, knowledge, understanding of the world, and worst of all, their power. It looks like you gave him all of the above, and Alastor gave him very little of anything."

"Why would Father do that!" The boy looked mad
"Calm down, kid. It's not that serious."
"It is. Does he not love me enough to give me his power"
"Lilith, he's still not fully developed."
"How can you tell?"
"His emotions are way too sensitive. At this point, I might have to lay him out."
"He's a child."
"I promised to protect you, not his child."
"You know I can hear you, right?" The boy's power was increasing by the second, and Abel wasn't taking this threat lightly.
"Then do something about it."
"Abel, stop provoking him!"
"He knows he can't do anything without his father's strength."
The boy appears in front of Abel with such speed no one else, but Abel and Michael noticed.
Michael jumped to protect Lilith, and Abel gripped his scythe and landed an attack that sent the boy flying miles away.
Abel appeared in front of the boy when he finished crashing. "See, can't do anything."
The boy rushed Abel and tried to land a single hit.
Abel dodges all the attacks and lands a kick on the boy's face.
The boy hits the floor hard. He tries to pick himself up but can't muster up his strength.
"Time to end this." Abel places his scythe on the boy's neck.
Suddenly Abel is surrounded by everyone.
"Leave my son alone, NOW!"
"You know that tone doesn't suit you, Lilith."
"He's my son."
"He's a danger to everyone. He won't be able to control his own power."
"Then I'll teach him." Abel looks over to Michael and then proceeds to lift up his scythe.
"I'm doing this only because your new boyfriend is strong enough to handle him. For now, at least."

"He's not my boyfriend," says Lilith
Abel vanishes in an instant.
Lilith runs to her son and picks him up. "I'm so sorry he did this to you."
"He *cough* he took it."
Lilith looks at her son and asks, "Took what?"
"My soul."
"So, can you fix it?" Abel was talking to Brother
"This is Alastor's child; his soul will be a hard one to fix, Abel."
"I know. That's why I brought these." Abel pulled out a collage of souls
"How many are in there?"
"Thousands"
"Abel, you know what will happen when you fix this soul."
"I know, just fix it already."
The dragon summoned magic circles around the souls and merged them together. Alastor's son's soul went from a dark color with holes to a bright white and completely normal soul.
"Easy. Was it not?
"It's because you had so many souls"
"I just know what I need."
"It's scary how you and Alastor know what's going to happen even though there aren't any futures."
"It comes with age. You're still young, Brother."
"Before you go, how is your child coming along?"
"Don't worry about it."
Abel starts walking away before vanishing.

Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
