The Alam Saga - Book I

DaoistXotVmS
Ever since her sixteenth birthday, Anaya’s nights have been plagued by dreams of massive sea storms and an ominous presence. Her older twin brother, Daniyal, has been hearing a song playing in the wind. A song only he can hear. For eighteen-year-old Ren, this is the year he will finally enlist in the Royal Army and be rid of his title as the village freak. All he has to do is ignore the whispers of the trees and plants around him. Enya, his younger sister, has her own problems. Surely it isn’t normal for a fifteen-year-old to see strange things in the fire and not burn her hand when it was stuck into the flickering flames. Or perhaps this was part of puberty, as her mother kept telling her. Animado, a traveling trader, has become paranoid with each passing day. More so then usual. He cannot help but look over his shoulder, for fear of someone following him. Watching his every move. And perhaps someone is watching over all of them. For neither of them are aware of what lies in their future. What destiny awaits them. What fate has planned for them.

An Extra’s Tale

“Compassion. What is compassion? Is it strength, or weakness. Is it mercy, or a half a measure? Is it a sign of naivety or experience? Or perhaps, it is one of those things that tread the line of ruin and preservation, it’s true meaning known only to gods. I wonder, what do you think of compassion?” “Compassion? For me, it is like a sword. One which you wield from the blade, not the grip.” ……………. Reshi’s life was not a happy one. His childhood was one of poverty, and a family barely keeping it together. It wasn’t a particularly fun childhood, so he decided to end it early. How? Well, he joined the army, where he was turned from child to weapon, expertly wielded by the republic. There he had met many great people, and he had seen them die also. A terrible life really. One that he wasn’t too sad to say goodbye to. After speaking to an extremely convincing deity, he decided to cash in his death for a new life, a glorious one from one of his favourites new novels. The life of a spoiled, and more importantly, rich young noble. Which he had been given….for all of thirty minutes. He had been placed in the body of a hated antagonist, one that only existed in a flashback backstory. His fate was destine to be pathetic, his end pathetic, loved and remembered by no one. But Reshi had already gone through that once. So this time he was determined to change things. To do something about his shitty fate, so that for the first time in two lives, he could carve out a little corner of peace for himself in the world, and maybe even find some happiness to go along with it.
