《Rejected Mate》Chapter 8: Jacqueline

She didn't say anything back to me. So I knew my answer.
"Why run away from a family that understands you. "
"The thing is I was different from everybody. when I was born I was an outcast to everyone. so as growing up, I was treated differently I had to learn on my own even though there was one person that taught me their ways. The coven leader forbids anyone to teach me anything. So one of the elders of the coven went against them and taught me everything there is to know. But days went to weeks and weeks went to years I couldn't take the torment anymore. "
"No, you're not there anymore and you don't have them. you have me and serephina. you also have Corvina."
She smiled and hugged me
"No one has ever cared about me so much as you have. Why. Why me. What makes me so different from everyone else in this town."
"You really want to know ill tell you. You didn't care if I answered your questions back or not. You were friendly. You gave me a home when I needed one and a job. And I'm grateful for it all. That's what makes you different. Your kindness to others." again she smiled and hugged me and I saw tears come from her eyes
"Now we're gonna have to talk about you."
"What do you mean? We just got done talking about me."
"Not that. I'm talking about your necklace. Do you realize who that necklace belongs too?"
"It belonged to my mother but she's dead. My father gave it to me on my 12th birthday. I've been wearing it since. "
"And you haven't taken it off have you. "
"No why. "
"The same exact answer I'm going to give you. You're a witch."

I didn't know what to say all I could do was stare at her. But I had to say something.
"Wait you're saying I'm a, I'm a witch." she just nodded
"What does this necklace do?"
"It holds your power until you are ready."
"Ready for what."
"To let your powers out. To be free. to be who you really are."
"Yeah, and how does that work do I just take the necklace off or something." I was frustrated she told me something nobody thought they would ever hear but I heard this piece of information and I don't know how hot react
"Yeah actually no. There's a ritual that you have to do. And if it all goes well then there's no problem getting your powers." I was confused as hell. if I am a which, why do I have to do a ritual to open my powers? in some way ill just see what happen.
"When will this happen?"
"When you stable. Since your weak, you can't do the ritual. It'll just make you even weaker."
"Then how long would you say."
"Give me three days. The first day for ingredients and gathering materials, the second day is to find a ritual spot, the third day makes sure your healthy and cleansed and ready for the next day."
"You sure have everything down don't you? "
"I knew you were a witch. I just needed you to tell me your story on how you got those scars, but I did know that you didn't know that you were one."
"Why didn't you say anything? probably if I would've told you about this along long time ago but I don't know maybe in my head I was thinking that you wouldn't have believed me. want to know something els. a year after giving me the gift. my father became a drunk. I don't know if it's because he gave me that necklace and it reminded him of her or he just doesn't want to deal with me anymore so he drowned himself in his Sorrows."

"Do you know that belongs to the most powerful witch on this earth? nobody has seen your mother or that necklace in over 100 years. "
"What are you talking about 100 years?"
"Your mother ran away because she fell in love. She's the most powerful of them all. she was supposed to be the next coven leader. I would have ran away to if I fell in love but I ran away because nobody wanted me there. The thing is when she ran away nobody heard from her, nobody saw her in those hundred years. And then one day some man came to the coven and told all the witches that your mother was dead. she passed away protecting you."
"why would she do that. why."
"Because your mother wasn't any ordinary witch. She was the next moon goddess. and you're the next heir to the throne, and I know you know that because when you told me your story you told me like you've known all your life. even though you read books and when you mention the moon goddess. You should have seen your eyes light up at the mention of her."
"what do you mean? "
"you know what I'm saying. She's your mother, the moon goddess. she came to you didn't she." It's like she just pushes me into a brick wall and that brick wall hurt.
"she came to me while I was in a coma. nobody knows that."
"I'm a witch she's a witch but she's the moon goddess. everybody knows that she will contact anybody especially a loved one. sooner or later she would've contacted you. But now it's time to open your powers and time for you to learn."
I cried and cried. how can this be no this is not supposed to happen to somebody? but this happens to me and I knew it when I woke up from the minute I woke up from a coma. my mother came while I was asleep and told me what I needed to know but there is so much I still need to learn. My mother is the moon goddess and I am her heir!
I was so happy. Yet so sad.
Happy to where I couldn't make a sentence anymore and I couldn't stop crying.
I was sad because my mother only told me so little. And then I moved to a place where there are people that understand me.
there are supernatural beings here and I'm prepared to come out.

The Dungeon that should not be
Humans always wondered if they were alone in the universe. They theorised the possible existence of different universes. Humans also neglected to care for their planet and their greed prevented them from moving to renewable energy. The pic is not mine, if the artist has an issue with me using it as a cover I will get rid of it.
8 230Skeleton Sovereign?
A lawyer, along with ten thousand other people, is kidnapped by the Heavenly Demon of Decay to participate in a campaign against the Monarch of Everglades. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, has chosen these ten thousand people to be the captains of his 100 man squads, saying that beings of lower realms are easier to boost temporarily. Our lawyer didn’t complain much at that. A generic hero summoned to another world setting, he thought. And as he didn’t have any family or much attachment to his previous world, he even liked his situation. But that was until he found out, that the “Heavenly Demon of Decay” was a necromancer. And that he along with millions of other humans, and various beings, were processed into undead soldiers. ‘Well fuck!’, he thought. And after being equipped with high quality equipment, and being robbed of his free will, he marched, along with billions of other horrifying undead, against the Monarch of the Everglades. But his poor luck didn’t end there. The Heavenly Demon of Decay, and his army lost. But the worst part was, they left him behind while retreating. Now, he is stuck behind in a huge jungle, full of various monsters, where every moment he must struggle for his life. But isn’t he already dead? This thought only serves to incense him further. But that is not all to his story, he finds that he is in a different, more powerful world, where wizards, warriors, dragons, dungeons but most importantly “CULTIVATION” exists. Albeit not very Chinese, but cultivation nonetheless. But, can a skeleton even cultivate? Not a native english speaker. So don't expect impeccable grammar. Although I do try my best, this is also my first novel so pointers are appreciated. Haters, just stop reading if you don't like it. Please don't spoil my mood by evil comments.
8 101The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS."
