The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom - Part 10: Arkana's Superior Power -       With a quick swipe of the hand, Arkana forced the air around him to blast Sam across the training hall, "Good you stood back up. Now, your turn to use the power of wind." Sam closed his eyes and whispered to himself, "I have the mana within me, I just need to focus on the image and direction of where I want to move the air around me towards." Arkana replies, "Yes, but make sure you control the amount of mana being released. Mana interacts with the natural laws of physics. Mana is something that is inside every living cell, no matter the organism. Some beings have greater mana storage, but others lack enough to manifest it, they practically have near zero mana. Your home planet lacks enough mana; although, I granted you enough mana to defeat even my brothers. Hahahahahaha!" He smiles, "You just need to learn how to control it. Over time you will be able to use more and more po

The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom - Part 9: The Champions Of The Gods --       Servants place plates of food and drinks on a massive table as six of the gods sat at the table. A gorgeous brunette goddess asks, "Arkana, are you going to choose a champion to fight our brothers'?" Arkana smiles, "I chose mine a long time ago. I knew Malthus's intentions from the start. He complains about his position, even though it fits his personality. Malthus is an open book. Speaking of books, my warrior is about to stumble across the first gift I created for'em." The bright yellow eyes of the gods focus with intense intrigue as the image of a man changing the diaper of his newborn baby daughter is projected inside of a crystal ball that is five feet in diameter. A light brown haired goddess asks, "Has anyone else decided to join the bet and picked, or are going to pick a champion too?" Breaking the silence she continues, "I also have a champion. Mine is goin

The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 6: Hunter's Fate     --          Sam moved his family to another village far away from king Henry's jurisdiction. The village is in the furthest Southern country, thousands of miles away from the Ice kingdom, on the coast of the country called Francoso. Francoso is a country with forests covering every part of the land, even the sandy beaches are a few meters from the forest treeline.  Sam Belthor buys a house next to the ocean, "Honey I will be out hunting for game. I will bring back money from my market after I prep the meat and give you the coats when I return home at dusk." Sam steps outside, he walks to the treeline as his children head off on a carriage for the schoolhouse in the village, inside of the castle walls. Sam wanders around the wilderness, successfully capturing over twenty five different animals from the traps he set up late at night. He places the animals onto the horse carriage, straps them securely to the

The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 5: Maniacal Incompetent King     A  Man on a black horse rides into a town, passes over a castle drawbridge, and enters the courtyard before vanishing into thin air as a black mist. The cloud cover becomes dark, lightning sparks through the sky, and the wind blows with a tremendous force. The citizens rush into their homes, as the windstorm tears down tree branches. Dust, debris, and clothing that was hanging out on lines, blows through the town. The royal guard approached the king and queen, "king Philip, the weather somehow has abruptly become dangerous. Fires are breaking out by the lightning. The wind is spreading the flames across the villages. Let alone, no rain is dropping, just lightning and wind!" The king responds, "It is the work of the gods. We have to let the villages in the outskirts burn, but send in soldiers to protect the castle, the nobles in the  town inside of the walls of the castle, and the outer villages.

Lost In The Dark   Part 8 : The Overwhelming City              The noise of vehicles stuck in traffic, horns honking, people rushing around. The city brightens the night sky. Time ticks as you walk passed pedestrians ignoring your presence. People go about their day, you bump into others, glares in their eyes as you realize that you can't speak. Neon lights shine through the night, you read a sign that says, "wrong way." Crossing the street to find the right direction to where you need to be, you run into a dead end, forced to go back into the crowded pedestrian walkways. Hesitation fills you as you stare at the impatient pedestrians, pushing, shoving and showing no respect for others. You look in horror as you try to find another path. Your heart races, sweat runs down your cheek as you push through the busy crowd. Stumbling left and right, constantly shoved around like you are just in their way, and are meaningless to them. You run into a sign that says, "Th

  The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 4: The Kingdom In The East          Six guards confront Sam, the Captain announced with an assertive tone, "Sam, you are guilty of assassinating King Robert and are suspected of the murder of King Henry! Come with us and face trial for your crimes." Sam responded loudly, "I did not murder anyone! You have the wrong person! I was just hunting and selling my meat products to the local markets! I also won't be going with you to face a one sided trial to be convicted of doing nothing." The Captain replied, "Kill him!" An arrow flies from the treeline, pierced through the skull of the Captain. Belthor pulls out his sword, swings it, deflecting the blow from a guard's sword. The blades cling and clang, as sparks fly from the iron and steel blades connecting. The bartender from before runs towards Sam, he draws his sword and helps fight back against the guards. A guard slips behind the bartender, Sam swin

      The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 3: The Third Assassination             Queen Marianne wakes up, she looks to her left as Wallace steps out of the bed, "Wallace where are you going?" He replied, "To cook you some food, and see if there is any news on your daughter's whereabouts." He walked out of the room, headed downstairs and entered the military corridor. Wallace approached a taller man, "General Darren, have you gathered any news about Amillia? The queen has been having difficulties with the loss of her husband and the disappearance of her daughter. She won't eat much, screams at night, and won't concentrate on her tasks." The General replied, "Sir Wallace, we have not heard anything yet. I understand her worries. I have soldiers delivering messages to even kingdoms far out of the continent into the kingdoms around and in the Southern Sea. I know it has been a few weeks now, but have her majesty be patient. It will ta

The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 2: The Black Horse           The father left his family behind as he wandered around the forest, he approached another small village a few miles from the one he left. The sign read, "Quark Village." The man opens a door, walks to a counter, then sits down at the bar, the bartender says with an accent, "Hi Sam. It's been awhile since you last came here. You want the usual?" Sam replied, "Yes, I have had a lot of fun lately and need to relieve some of the stress on my shoulders." Sam has a few drinks, a young lady approached Sam, "Hi handsome. My name is Beth. I see that you are not from around here. So what brings a strong handsome man like you to our bar?" Sam smiles, "You are very beautiful. But, unfortunately I have sold my soul to another woman. Though, even if I was not married or attached to my wonderful woman, I would definitely fall for a beauty as of yourself." She walked

 The Shadow Of The Ice Kingdom Part 1: Treacherous Shadow In a kingdom high up on a mountain in the Ice nation, a king dead on the ground as blood drips from a knife, pooling in small puddles as the king's vision blurs, and his ears are no longer able to make out the sounds of his surroundings. The perpetrator runs to an open window, pulls themselves up, then swings their body out of the building. He landed on his feet, and disappeared on a black stallion. Guards rushed into the king's bedroom, a guard who first noticed the scene yelled, "Somebody murdered the king!" The rest of the guards began to search the room for clues. With no luck, they reported to the dining room. The queen closed a drawer in the kitchen, sat down with a sandwich and a glass of red wine. A guard approached her, "Madam, your highness the king was found dead in the bedroom. We don't know who did it, nor why." The queen dropped her glass of wine, and started

Ace The Cybernetic Ninja Dog Chapter 1:  Beach Paradise Invaders    A wind is blowing a nice cool breeze, the sun shine warms the beach planet. The day is calm and the sound of the vacationers filled the air with joy and elation. The dog Ace is making acquaintance with a few female dogs. He hears his name being called a few times but ignores his Human best friend. Ace then spots in the corner of his eye, a spaceship that landed on the beach sands about two hundred meters from where the beach goers were at. Ace ditched the females and ran to his Human best friend. Ace had an uneasy feeling about the spaceship and felt a strong sense of protecting his best friend. The beach goers were not paying attention to the illegally parked spaceship. A  genetically engineered iguana arrived with an army of genetically modified minions. They were walking down a ramp. The minions are of the various animal wildlife and domesticated animals. They are carrying over one hundred barrel conta

Lost In The Dark Part 7 : The Long Road      You started to feel frustrated as the road seems to never end. You spot a fork in the road but never bothered to read the signs,  instead you just randomly walked down the road, in which you felt like it was the right way. Though you don't question yourself or your position on the path. A car horn can be heard from behind you. It surprised you, you are startled and stood straight up with a chill down your entire body. A vehicle pulled up next to you and the window rolled down. You see a person but can't make out who they are. They ask you, “do you need a ride to your destination?” You replied back with, “yes, I have been walking around aimlessly for a while now but don't know how to get to the end of the road. Thank you for taking the time to stop and drive me to my destination”. The person lets you into the car. You buckle up and then the vehicle drives down the road. They play a radio station that you enjoy. You fa
