TCoE: Suam Novam Vitam
Suam Novam Vitam is Latin, and in the name of this story, it means "his new life." The events below occur after Sotan's Fall, the tragic downfall of a kingdom in The Deity Jewels, the first book of my YA epic fantasy series. The short story you're about to read is based in the point of view of the villain from Part One: The Prophecy. His mission from that night was sinister, and as he battles his mental state, he struggles to continue to follow his orders from the cult that manipulated him by threatening him and his family.

War Among the Pears
Hundreds of small busy bodies scurried up an old pear tree. The limbs were strong and provided shelter to thousands of bugs. Despite the massive creatures that would pluck the fruit and nearly crush the active ant colony, it was the ideal home for them. However, another colony had settled nearby and they too were seeking to reap benefits from the tree as well.

The ancient sword the poor boy, Vigore, held began to glow. Gradually, the severed hand withered.

TCoE: Adara's Curse
Chapter One Love’s Rupture “Sometimes things that hurt you most teach you the best lessons of life!” - Unknown Inside the colossal sunlit corridors, two elegant folks stood akimbo before a stained glass window. The art on the pane resembled an angel reaching for handsome and arrogant mortal men; her eyes tear-filled as she desperately cried for them. The one person flanking the skylight, a scrawny man, pointed to it with an outraged glower. His bald head shined under the bright sun while his narrowed gray glare remained dark and grim. He wore a light blue toga and lightweight brown sandals.

Emerald Flames
*Play video if you'd rather listen than read, or to read along with the audio* Ash fell from the night sky. Men slaughtered animals and chopped down the surrounding trees with foul machines. A woman's scream erupted as the fire spread across the nearby village. Children cried and begged for their mothers as soldiers ripped them from their arms.

TCoE: Adara's Curse
Splintered Hearts “Remember, you can’t reach what’s in front of you until you let go of what’s behind you.” - Unknown Darkness lurked among the twisted forest path that prevailed before a young, beautiful woman. Her soft, glowing skin pale under the full moonlight. Sharp violet eyes cut through the frosty night air, banishing away shadows that crept by. Long, curly blonde-crimson waves of hair streamed over her shoulders and down to her hips. She wore a lengthy dress with living roses blooming along every ruffle and edge of the fabric. Her fingernails were bright red and along her painted face were strange but lovely and elegant scarlet designs.
