《The Broken House》A Gift (& an Unwanted Visitor)
Advertisement
Leo's mind sets on the voice he heard. He has decided to see if anyone is in there. In addition, he brings a soccer ball if he finds a kid. "Mom, I'm going out," he hollered.
"Do you want your father to go with you?"
"No. It's just me."
"Okay. Make sure you're back for lunch."
He closed the door. He held the ball in one arm. He jumped off the porch and went off the Clarks' house.
It wasn't far from his house. The Walkers live a block away. So, it takes Leo fifteen minutes. Finally, he made it. He banged on the murky door.
"Hello?"
Leo stepped inside and sets the ball down on the floor. He closed the door behind him. "I heard you singing. Come out. I'm not going to hurt you. I even got you something." Leo looked around. He saw the broken windows. The walls are a mix of black and grey. He couldn't believe someone would live in a house in this condition.
He felt something ran swiftly behind him. "Okay, if you're not coming out, I'm going to find you." He walked further and looked into the rooms. He entered the room formerly belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Clark. It was empty. He looked in the bathroom. Empty. Already seeing the living room and the kitchen, that leaves only one room left unchecked. He came to the door of the final room. When Leo reached for the knob, a voice was heard. "Don't take another step."
Leo froze as if he was caught by the police. He raised his hands up. The voice said, "Turn around." Nervously, Leo obeyed. When he faced the girl who found him, he was dumbfounded.

Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy.

After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity.

Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen.

The Last Breath
When Yezzu first sent his sons to the realm of men, they brought with them the magic of the gods. They created the three kingdoms we now have today being Dremshen, Ex'ol, and Kantillion. In the five thousand years since the gods left, much has changed. Great wars were fought, Universities were built, civilizations were created. One thing remained after the gods' departure though, their powers. Today, the balance of crafting the three gods brought has shifted. In the beginning, each had the same skill as the other, but the magic that was passed down through the millennia has diminished. The struggle for power that started long ago is coming to a defining moment. Plots of war and assassination are being weaved. Don't despair, for we may yet be saved from the disasters to come. Our hope lies in three young crafters. The first is William Divus, who sets out from his small village into the Dremshen Kingdom to study crafting after his father's passing. His questions about his father and his quest for knowledge drive him. Next comes Ehzahn Obasi, an Ex'olian thief with unparalleled skill. He steals for the thrill, no longer needing the rewards that come with it. He has just achieved his lifelong dream, but he will soon learn how much he underestimated the fallout from his daring theft. The last is Ki Soru, the niece of a powerful duke. She showed promise with crafting at a young age, so she had the best training the Kantillion Kingdom had to offer. Ten years have passed since her lessons began, leaving the king unsatisfied with the results. Her life is upended when her new teacher arrives, revealing a secret kept from her that changes her whole life. These three are our heroes. They were born in separate kingdoms under vastly differing upbringing, but each with their own part to play in the challenges to come. Here begins our tale of mischief and misery with only but a sliver of hope.
