SLOW UPDATES 

*Sequel to 'The Alchemist's Starling'*

Seriously - you won't understand the plot without reading TAS first...

It has been 4 months since Chisa saw the horrific Flash. Every night, her nightmares show her the same bloodcurdling image she wishes she never saw. But Chisa never told anyone what she saw... 

Chise questions her, wanting to help - but Chisa lies, she can't tell the truth...

How can she? 

Joseph continues to torment her from inside her head - the place where he can do the most damage.

Chisa longs for freedom; freedom from the psychotic Alchemist who's ruining her life... but she's starting to lose hope. She's struggling to carry this burden on her own, but how can she ask for help when she's forbidden to speak of the Pact?

However, Chisa is learning how to use Magic - she has the potential to become a great Mage. She has the talent and the passion. The only thing is, she lacks confidence - something she cannot have while Joseph is inside her head. 

She still Flashes - she has no control over them. Each new Flash disturbs her, but she burdens them alone. Everything Chisa sees, becomes reality. That's how it works... 

Her entire future is set in stone...

*****

"What makes you think the future is set in stone?" He asks me, gazing at me curiously. 

"That's... the way it's always been. What I see... always happens in the future." I reply hesitantly.

He smiles at me, reaching his hand out to cup my face: "You are an Oracle, yet you do not understand your own power."

*****

"You know, fear has two meanings. You can Forget Everything And Run; or you can Face Everything And Rise." 

"What will you choose?"

*****

Will Chisa ever be free?

Will she ever learn to face her fear?

But beneath Bergen, Norway, in the hidden halls of Blackthorn and Burtree, she's about to discover a gift that defies the very codes of magic. As war looms between the Keeper's Animarum and the Shadow Alchemists, Thea must learn to harness her dangerous abilities in secret. Thrust into a world of Conversion Circles and Alchemical beasts, Thea realizes she's been unknowingly breaking the laws of Alchemy her entire life. As she struggles to keep her powers hidden, she finds unexpected friendship with two fellow Spectrum Scholars. But with the Code Keeper and Code Breaker both potentially interested in her abilities, Thea must decide who-if anyone-she can trust. The Code Keeper has manipulated every aspect of Thea's life, pushing her towards a destiny she never chose. As global battles rage and the Earth itself seems to rebel, Thea's decisions could tip the balance of power. The Shadow Faction's leader would stop at nothing to possess her gift, while the Keeper sees her as the key to saving the world-but at what cost? Will Thea's reckless quest for control over her own life unleash a power that could mend their fractured world-or shatter it beyond repair? ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ This book is a preview of the Amazon exclusive.

Here is where you can know more about these two men and the crystals. ~~~ Everyone has chi. Chi is essential for living things to stay alive. Yes... that indeed include plants and animals. Chi is known as the inner energy. We channeled the chi energy to perform powers. The most commonly use powers are the elemental power but few special cases do have rare non elemental power. However, where do we receive the Chi from? How can us possess Chi? What is the origin of the Chi? In an old ancient book, there were words written about the Chi Crytals. According to the book, Chi was given by those crytals. But... how? Crystals aren't suppose to be alive right? So how can a crystal give a human a chi?

"Beckett thinks I like you," I announced. Oh my god, Lara! Shut up! My grip wavered as his hand came around my face, holding my cheek in his delicate touch. He brushed his thumb against my lower lip, his eyes averting back-and-forth between my eyes and lips. He ran his fingers up my abdomen, gliding it up my cleavage to my mouth. My hold on him softened until I completely let go-my hand falling limp in between us. My pulse throbbed in my wrist. He tilted my face up. "Do you?" My breathing picked up pace as I tried to concentrate on my feelings. His hands roamed about my body, leaving a trail of burning sensation to grow from his intoxicating touch. "Do you?" I countered. He smirked, his thumb grazing harder against my lips. He inched his face closer to mine. My heartbeat picked up pace. I didn't know what to do. My body froze as I tried to comprehend my next move. God! Why couldn't this be as easy as sparring? "I don't know, Lara," he said. He dipped his head low, and my eyes automatically fell shut. "Do I?" His lips crashed on mine. *** Lara Deadwings is a silver-blooded girl in a world full of red-bloods who won't accept her in the society.

CURRENTLY EDITING "You belong to me - completely. I can do whatever I want to you, and no one can tell me otherwise. You're mine, Chisa Hatori; my little Starling..." I start sobbing, shaking my head frantically, rejecting the terrible truth. I thrash in his arms, trying to get away. Joseph laughs at my efforts, only tightening his grip until I can't move. The fingers of his right hand find my chin, forcing me to turn my head to the right. My blurry sight is greeted by his cool grey eyes, my stomach churns. He presses his forehead against mine - the mere physical contact has me shaking. "Do you know why the fae call you, The Alchemist's Starling?" I can't answer him... I'm lost in my own emotions. "The fae can sense you," he continues, "just as they can sense Alchemists. They saw your unique, purple locks fluttering in the wind when we went outside together - like the wings of a Starling. Of course, their kind adore you, and loathe us Alchemists. The fact that they cannot have you, makes them sad. Of course, because they saw you with me - they recognised that you were mine." Someone help me... Save me from him... ***** Chisa Hatori has had a hard life. Her father left, she watched her mother die, she was torn away from her sister and placed in foster care. Chisa is gifted; she has the Sight... and she is a Sleigh Beggy. However, she views her blessing as a curse, seeing terrifying monsters wherever she goes.

Mercy & Fire by daughteroftMH

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

THE DOYEN SERIES book 2: Anecdote is coming soon!* Aisling Collins has lived a mostly perfect life: straight A's, a loving family and she even attends the college of her dreams. But when she meets the mysterious and handsome Kayde Rhys, she learns that not everything is as perfect as it seems.

What my values are. What my standards are. What my morals are. And this is not 1 of them. Values define who you are. The minute, the second, the millisecond, you forget your values, you lose yourself, your mind, your soul. I already lost my family and my innocence to the supernatural. I am not going to lose my humanity too. I find the words flying out of my mouth in a frantic hurry before I can stop them. I am screeching, screaming, blurting words and phrases and sentences and paragraphs at the people before me like I will soon run out of air. They stare at me like I am speaking in tongues, which I guess to them I am. "Okay," Kayde says as he picks his lifeless brother off the ground. Slings him over his shoulder like he is made of feathers. Nods at me once, twice, 3 times. "We can use him to get information. No killing." He looks me in the eye. But that doesn't mean that there won't be torture.
