Chapter 8. Hear that voice again.
Winston could hear Finn calling out to him, but he couldn't
answer. He fell forward onto his face and lay there, unable
to move. He heard Finn getting closer and saw his boots come
to a stop in front him. Then his world went black..
Finn roll him over. Winston felt him clear mud from his mouth
and check for other wounds. He wanted to tell Finn that he
was sorry. He felt Finns' hands on his face and then the
pressure of Finns hands on his chest.
He wanted to tell Finn to leave him behind, to not waste
time on him. There was no more time left - his life over,
he could feel the last of it draining away.
In the growing stillness he heard a womans' voice.
"May I have a quiet word with you Winston."
It was like a burst of sunlight in a dark sky.
Warmth spread across his chest and over his face.
He felt it seeping through his entire body. Winston took a deep
breath, then another, and for the first time in his life, he was
aware of his heart beating and blood flowing through every
part of his body. He was flushed with a feeling of well being.
Then he heard her voice again. "Open your eyes."
He was no longer lying on the ground - he was standing next
to a tall woman. She had straw coloured hair and hazel eyes
that seemed to shimmer.
"Am I dead?" he asked.
"No, not today." The woman said with a smile,
"My name is Eurides, and I have a favour to ask of you Winston"
Winston looked around. They were still on the battlefield,
and beside them, Finn was leaning over his body.

Everything was fixed in place and unmoving, as if he was
looking at pieces on a chessboard.
Winston looked at his body lying on the ground.
"So....if I'm not dead, what am I then."
"You're someone who will still be alive tomorrow."
Winston watched Eurides gently rest her hand on Finns's
shoulder. He saw the tenderness in her face and knew at
once that they were somehow connected.
"What do you want me to do?' he asked.
"I need to move some things around." Eurides said.
She brushed a hand along Finns' neck.
"It will only take a moment or two of your time Winston
- and then afterwards, you can forget that anything
ever happened."

The Devils Of The Biterrain
Zavier was an unremarkable suburbanite living just outside of Seattle. He was finishing up his final semester of high school and preparing to go to college despite a nagging lack of excitement for his future. In the blink of an eye, his life is thrown into chaos when Zavier meets a young man from an alien world named Yafu. Yafu has accidentally been thrown to Earth via portal while chasing the dangerous Poison Fang cult on his world. These two boys quickly come into contact with Arigo, a mysterious and powerful defender of Earth from various interlopers from Yafu’s world, known as the Biterrain. When Arigo discovers that Zavier was used as an unknowing and seemingly impossible vessel for the Fang to try to invade Earth, Arigo decides to send the two boys, along with his faithful assistant Anenna, to the Biterrain for answers on Zavier’s anomalous condition. In this new and dangerous world, Zavier weighs his own feelings of personal inadequacy against the backdrop of his sudden and mysterious importance. Meanwhile Yafu struggles with the limits to his thirst for vengeance and ultimately his future without it. Finally, Anenna must begin to confront a new identity as the last parts of her old one abandon her. In the background of their journey is the mystery around the Immortal King, the mythic founder of the Biterrain’s dominant religion who allegedly disappeared to Earth many millennia ago. Despite the planet being central to the dogma around their messiah figure, Earth has been relegated to myth and conjecture by the general populace of the Biterrain due to their inability to validate its existence in the present time. How will Zavier navigate in a world where he holds its holy grail within his own identity and who can he really trust in a world of such contrived obliviousness?
