Inga was known throughout the city as a skilled thief and murderer for hire, his strange talent for fire magic making him even more dangerous. So when a wealthy lord hired him for a dangerous job, he didn't hesitate. The lord's son had vanished into the slums of the undercity, and he was willing to pay a small fortune to have him brought back.
Inga knew that the undercity was a treacherous place, full of danger and deception. But he also knew that the reward for completing the job was worth tempting fate. So he sets off into the depths of the city.
As he navigated the twisting alleys and abandoned buildings of the undercity, Inga begins to realize that something much bigger was at play. The missing son was just the tip of the iceberg, and he soon found himself caught up in a dangerous web of intrigue that threatened the very foundations of the mighty city state of Aldrin.

"Y-you came ba-ck. W-what's tod-ay's torture go-ing to be?" he let out a weak chuckle, which only made him seem more deranged. He shifted his wrists against the ropes, tearing his skin and scabs off, releasing fresh blood, then said, " L-let me gues-s. H-it me, no, y-ou alrea-dy did that. S-stab m-me, no you did th-at to-o. May-be whip m-e, no, bec-ause you fuc-king did th-at too!" His voice was rough and broken from screaming. Blake looked down at him with an angry expression spreading across his face. This only made Albert, in his state of mental unstableness, push him further toward the brink of exploding in anger. "Come on," Albert started, then continued screaming, " What are you go-ing to do now?!" "First I'm going to have to get you to shut the fuck up!" Blake yelled, grabbing a fist full of Albert's hair, and slamming his head into the cave wall, leaving blood trickling down his head, and his right ear ringing loudly. Albert groaned, and rolled so he was facing Blake, and before he could make another comment, Blake continued, "And now, I'm going to make sure that you won't ever be able to go home." ----------------------- In the kingdom of Valenlon a prince is hidden away due to the threat of attack, but that turns out to be the biggest mistake Valenlon ever made.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete
