Varmalis Stories

In a land filled with magic, this story focuses on Taylor, a girl with otherworldly beauty and a mind which absorbs information at an incredible capacity. But that is not all; Taylor also possess magic, even if she doesn't fully understand it, the ability of the Hidden; an ancient Order of Magicians who created a land that only the outcasts, (thieves, beggars and such) could ever find. A land where the very air you breathe is magic and the land listens to your thoughts. Taylor's lack of understanding of her abilities as one of the Hidden manifests itself in such a way that her power leaks from her pores, seeking justice in its wake, and calling itself by the name Ghost. With a mantra to rival Robin Hood's 'Steal from the Rich, Give to the Poor', Taylor protects those much weaker than herself in any given situation. But could this lead to her doom? AUTHORS NOTE: I started this at the age of 15 in 2007, so it may be a bit jumpy. I have been looking through chapters already written and am trying to edit them to make more sense and such. Enjoy.

What happens when Death itself finds Love? What happens when the subject of Death's love is about to be called from one life to the next? What happens if, for the first time in Deaths existence, a life that the Fates determined had run its course, is not claimed but saved? Well that Happy Mistake would be Alyssa Blazen, a girl who sees how much Time people have left in their lives and how they will die, not a very up-beat party trick but one that comes in handy in the morgue. Alyssa has only to look at a persons 'remains' before knowing how they died, when they died and in the case of a slew of murder cases who did it. But how can she explain how, what, where, when and who without revealing her parentage? "As the world was changed and remade a thousand times over, each of my brethren made choices and from these, Others came to be. The superior intellect of Earth named each of these Others: There were ‘The Seven’ who were classified as ‘deadly sins’ to whom were the mistake of Time I assure you. There was ‘War’ who Love mistakenly created. Then there was ‘Famine’ and ‘Pestilence’ to whom the Fates deliberately created to ease their boredom. Unlike Love, the Fates or Time, I did not create an Other… Until now that is..." -- Death AUTHORS NOTE: This book begins with how Alyssa came to be, before skimming over some highlights of her childhood.

Who came up with ways to destroy what are now known as mythical creatures? Always there, always judging who would die and who would live. Ironic don’t you think? Werewolves? Government. Vampires? Government. Witches? Well some ladies were just too opinionated..." -- William Farsome
