As Lumian stepped out the door, he felt as thought he was transported to another world. Before him lay no longer the familiar Cordu, but a dark-red mountain peak and the collapsed buildings surrounding it. Together, they formed a strange ruin. The fog in the sky was thick and pale, making it difficult for light [...]

Circle Of Inevitability Chapter 9
As the night settled in, Lumian finished dealing with his neighbors who had come to borrow the oven. He made his way up to the second floor, entering the room that served as Aurore's study. In Cordu, many folks were destitute and couldn't afford their own ovens or large stoves. When they needed to toast [...]

The idea hit Lumian like a bolt of lightning, but he didn't particularly fancy going through with it. Ignoring the fact that years had flown by since the Warlock's demise and that the lifespan of owls was measly compared to humans, the sheer number of birds in the mountain was enough to make Lumian reconsider.

Once Lumian had departed from the Ol' Tavern, he found himself standing on the uneven road, uncertain of where to go next. The morning sun beat down upon him, albeit with a slight chill in the air.

Lumian sprang to his feet, his eyes flashing with determination. "Then let's go to your father." He had always been a man of action, and he knew that investigating the village legend couldn't wait. If he dallied, his sister Aurore would surely catch wind of it, and she would never allow him to proceed. In [...]

Lumian lingered atop the roof, reluctant to descend just yet. His visage was a picture of stoicism, betraying no emotion. Gone was the mischievous young man who frequented the tavern, always ready with a grin and a jest. In his place was a composed and resolute figure, unrecognizable to those who knew him before. Since [...]

Ryan apologized politely to Lumian. "Forgive me, I did not expect such a situation," he said. Lumian chuckled. "Are you suggesting we need another glass of La Fée Verte?" Without waiting for Ryan's response, he changed the subject. "What brings foreigners like you to Cordu? Are you here to buy wool or leather?" Many of [...]
Circle Of Inevitability Chapter 1
A price is always exacted for what fate bestows--adapted from Zweig's Mary Queen of Scots. "I'm a nobody, with no time to notice the brightness of the sun. "My parents couldn't help me, and I wasn't highly educated. I had no choice but to make it on my own in the city. "I'd applied to [...]
