1 CHAPTER ONE

THE WAR

A scar of bright light hung in the bat black sky. A gash of radiant broke through the cauldron black sky. Berry red blood squirted from their wounds they battered and beated their enemies under a sunless sky. A storm of arrows was buzzing and fizzing through the sky. Molten red blood splashed from their wounds. Men were screaming and screeching as the ground became slippery with sludge. Their harness were chinking and dinging under the boiling sky.

Their axes were clattering and clanking onto their wooden shields under the rioting Doom laden sky. The ground was burnished with entrails and a sickly odour rose up from it. Their bonds were snapping and splintering as a flood of elfs and monsters broke their lines. "Guards!, ...". The king yelled. The guards immediately rushed to his presence as the king ordered them to look for his mistress and their unborn baby. The war between the syldavians , the Ruritarians and the land of Ev had come to an end, but lots of life has been lost. It's six months now, but the king's mistress and their unborn child had still not been found as the spot they came across was burnt down weeks ago.

He had no idea his queen knew about his unborn baby. "Your highness,....., You never told me you had an affair with Faye". The queen approached him. "You of all people should know that, Faye and I were together before my parents arranged our marriage, I had to marry you to clear any shame". "So, are you still searching for your baby?". The queen asked disgusted. "Yes, the search is still ongoing". The king replied. Else where on the land of Ev, in a whimsical dwelling made of resin and metal, a lady is in labour as two midfairies are attending to her. The lady was able to deliver safely and had a bouncy baby girl. "I'm going to name you Antigia.., meaning, the goddess of magic". She said smiling at her white haired girl with hazel eyes.

Years passed and the king had not heard anything about his child and mother. The searches and announcements were all in vain. Antigia had also grown up in to a beautiful fourteen years old when her mother had a heart attack. All the physicians had tried their best but to no avail. Days after the attack, a group of royal soldiers arrived at their doorstep as the knocked and entered. "Greetings!.., please are you Faye, the king's mistress?". A soldier asked. "Yes!, It's been Soo long". "Yeah!, We found you now, the king said we should come along with you and your daughter". The soldier said. "I'm dieing.., so you can take my daughter".
