He stood on the steep drop towering over the poisonous raging blue waves. The boy inched closer to the centre of the world, his past looping it's technicolour reel before his eyes. The bottomless pit which ruled his nightmares awaited all those unfit for life in a world set in the yet unwritten pages of history. It was an end he had always been told he deserved by his very own father, being one of the rare few born with no supernatural talent in this place where magical powers dictated your worth. Marcus was a dark mark on the royal family's powerful reputation, and proving his right to be alive was a daily struggle, he was about to give up on for good. Surviving a tournament or a revolution were no longer his main concerns. The weight of a dying world lay heavily on his shoulders, and a kingdom's fate depended upon the answer to one question. Will his dive into the cursed water bring about a new start, or will the journey end at the bottom of the well?

The Pendants Curse ✔️
He turns back to face me and I immediately drag out my dagger placing it in front of his throat. Unfortunately for me, he thought to do the same with his own silver dagger. He looks in my eyes and smirks. "Well won't you look at that?" He says, not moving. "What gave me away?" He questions. "You didn't question when I said I wanted a level 2." I answer. He gives me a full-on grin. "I knew I should have said something. Oh well, you're here now which is all I really needed." He says moving the dagger away from my throat. I look at his calm and collected self and slowly put my dagger away as well. "Who are you?"

Quill of Thieves
||2022 WATTYS WINNER|| A scholar boy who denies the existence of elemental magic. A hidden princess who can control all seven elements. A mystical quill capable of rewriting both of their destinies. In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**Complete
Child of Light: The Fairy Tale
Child, tuck yourself in bed, Let me tell a story, Of Lemuria, a kingdom past, And a girl born for glory. Lost from our world came she, Treachery gave close chase, She raised her sword and flew, For she feared not the race. Three long lost lights to save, A mad queen to defeat, The journey would transform her, Her destiny to meet. The path home tragic and faint. Beware the night, Child of Light. ******************************** For such an epic fairy tale, i was saddened that it was only in a video game form. What about the book readers? what about the children who could not afford the game itself? Therefore I decided to be a narrator, to write one, a fan fiction (retaining the rhyming style in my writing) for all those who did not know about such a story; children, adults, and all who still have the child's heart within (him/her)self. I'm really thankful to Jeffrey Yohalem & Ubisoft Team for creating such a beautiful fairy tale. *This Fan Fiction work is only a narration of the original game* "Child of Light™ story, art, music and original characters | © 2014 Ubisoft Entertainment.
