Sneak Preview of Truth...

this sneak preview is not the full chapter 1 of truth... but the first part also includes blurb.

--------------------

Sirge has been captured by the elite magi force of Tenji. Because he had rescued her, Lina wishes to rescue him. But what she finds in the other dimension is a not what she expected and the more she looks for Sirge the deeper into the world she goes. But things are not as they seem so what is she going to do when she finds Sirge and he’s not the same? There are so many things that people haven't told does she really want to find the truth…?

--------------------

Sirge drummed his fingers on the wooden table. He sat slumped in his chair bitting the other hands nail. He wasn’t usually nervous but today he was, today he was nervous because he had to see his father after nine long months.

He calmed himself down he needed to think smartly about what he was going to do. First he would have to get out of the room then out of the palace. There was on obstacle one major obstacle, the Tenji. They were on guard duty and were even standing outside his window, the way he last escaped. Then there were the men standing outside his door and he couldn’t use the dumbwaiter they were watching that too. So he sat there drumming his fingers and bitting his nails scheming new plans. He could always escape while they were taking him to his father but quickly found a fault, there would be four or more of them compared to one of him, he did like not having any siblings but when he need to gang up on people he always found faults in his numbers.

He looked around his room for inspiration, and the first thing he noticed was the dust and dirt which covered everything like a blanket. Had anyone brought a servant in to clean? The bed looked like it had an inch of dust just sitting on top of the covers and Sirge was worried, not scared but worried what would happen if he lifted the sheets. Are there bugs living under there? Furthermore would the sheets crumble under my touch? He looked back to his table; one half was cleared and covered in dust apart from where he had drummed his fingering into the table. In the centre of the table was a dead flower in a red vase, the flower sat on the table sadly hanging its head with death. On the other half of the table were his ‘overdue’ books, well they would be overdue if he wasn’t the exception to the rule. The books were piled on top of each other the spines covered in as much dust as the covers.

“You could think I have been gone for years with this much dust” he remarked, ‘why didn’t they send a cleaner in here’ he thought for the seventh time.

There was a knock on the door. He turned his attention to it know who it was he didn’t answer merely swallowed. The Tenji captain walked in clad in black, even his hair was dyed black and somehow he changed the colour of his eyes to black as well. Overall he was a menacing man with road shoulders and a broken jaw.

“Time to go sire” the captain said in a stiff voice. Sirge looked upon the man’s black eyes again and wonder how they had ever been good friends. To think this captained played with Sirge when he was younger was inconceivable. Sirge nodded in reply his mind had given up escape when he saw his old friend the captain, he couldn’t hurt the captain even if it meant his life, he sighed at that thought and stood up to follow the captain out the door.

They walked down the hallway in silence with five other Tenji immediately around him. Sirge heard slight rustles in the bushes and he knew that the rustles were Tenji jumping between bushes following them to make sure he didn’t escape again. They reached the massive double doors of the throne room and when the captain pushed them opened they revealed the king.
