Chapter 3: Of What Came Before
Alathis' hands became the hands of a four-year-old as he drove his toy motor-truck across the cream carpet. It was his room, where he and his mother lived together so long ago. Then screams started, shrill, psychotic — his mother's screams. 'Be gone. Begone, devil. I will not have your likes here.' ...

Chapter 2: On Fear
Much to Alathis' relief, he found the training room empty. He'd thought so; it was six in the evening, so most neophytes were busy with study. Alathis ignored the training dummies lining the left wall and the wooden weapons on the right while attempting to avert his attention from the large mirror i...

The Ritual by Benjamin Agar Year: 2500 AHV (After Holy Victory) Age: Late Industra era Country: The Kingdom of Amartis 'What name do you think you wanna take?' said Karetil, grinning up at Alathis. Alathis couldn't return the dwarf's enthusiasm; he just pursed his lips and shrugged. 'I've been looki...

The Angaran Chronicles: The Ritual
https://img.wattpad.com/cover/136141376-512-k982670.jpg Alathis is just a day away from taking part in the Ritual. A Ritual which is required so he can become one of the magically enhanced super assassins, a Hunter. The Ritual which only one in five survives. But before he can he needs to work thro...

Epilogue
Arken awoke with a start. Despite the pain thundering through him and his blurred, spinning vision, it took an instant to see he was in a cell. The walls were stone, the bars iron. It reminded him of the cell he'd been kept in by the Hunters years ago. He felt the cold iron manacles clasped around h...

'I knew you would do that,' it roared, but it didn't take a mind reader to figure that out; Arken was beginning to believe the troll wasn't as adept as it wanted him to think at reading his thoughts. And used its race's first and only magical ability: it summoned its goblins. In blasts of light, two...

To my surprise, we were allowed onto the bridge and even more surprising, Helma and Arlathan were chatting with Enandra. The Inquisitor was back in her power armour and sat cross-legged on a solid, copper coloured plasteel throne in the bridge's epicentre, like a regal queen of old. Flanking the thr...

For what felt like hours, Arken walked. All the while, the hissing grew into the buzzing crescendo of earlier. Every fibre of his being screamed to give in. That it'd stop the pain and the blood, make him happy. That he would learn everything, he wanted to know. But he didn't; he wouldn't. He was Ar...

I was taken to my quarters by the two Stormtroopers. I stepped inside with a sigh, my hands in their pockets. "Can you," I said, turning back to them. "Please get me some Lhos; I could use a smoke right now." One shook his head as if to say, 'bloody addicts,' but the other nodded...

His blade still near the priest's throat, they began down the walkway. Their footfalls echoed ominously through the blackness, no matter how light Arken tried to tread. 'How were you able to hide your aura?' Arken demanded. Every syllable was a struggle, and he wiped the blood flowing from his nose....

For the next three days, he wandered the town and fished at the coast. Being tailed the entire time. He learned the whole layout of the place, the best escape routes and places to hide if needs must.

I walked with Arlathan and Vex on my flanks up to the cockpit. I fought the urge to look at Adelana as I passed by her, but I could sense that her eyes were on me. I entered the cockpit, finding Darrance was still at the controls; it was quite large, with five seats. Verenth was at the sensor screen...

Some Hunters were infiltrators; they stuck to the shadows with religious zeal, only revealing themselves in the most dire of circumstance.

A False Legacy by Benjamin Agar Year: 2387 AHV (After Holy Victory) Age: Late Medivale Era Country: The Kingdom of Everdeen Everdeen. Arken, like many a Hunter, held a healthy hatred for the realm.

A microsecond after my feet hit the debris; I was running diagonally across the width of the corridor. My eyes fixed on the Space Marines as their bolters opened up in a deafening crescendo and strafed my wake. It was only four metres between them and me, but it may as well have been miles. As it wa...

The Angaran Chronicles: Anargrin vs Arken
Arken smiled, leaned back in his leather chair and swivelled side to side slightly. 'Anargrin,' he said as his gaze raised to the ceiling in thought. 'Who do you think would've won?' 'Who would've won what?' said the elf; by contrast, Anargrin sat hunched in his chair as relaxed as a brick wall. His...

I leaned aside the round and was about to dart forward, but a second shot forced me to the floor. I rolled into a crouch and, with the flat of my sword, desperately knocked aside the next. Sending it careening and exploding a large hole in the wall, it sent horrid jolts up my arms, causing me to cry...

For hours Anargrin sat next to Emilia's bed and waited. His mind was a whirl with thoughts, his eyes wanting to shut every second. 'Anargrin?' said the voice which forced him awake although he hadn't known he was sleeping. In a millisecond, he was on his feet, sword summoned to his hand, its edge a ...

We emerged back into the corridor; I half expected to be greeted by splattered, scattered corpses but found everyone alive and well. Helma glared at us in anger for the delay. A rage I couldn't blame her for, but I ignored her. Then within a split second wave of the captain's hand, we were instantly...

Falin stepped into the hallway and was almost elbowed off her feet by the priest for her efforts. Solen followed him, his eyes met Falin's, and they went after the priest into Kelth's room. They found the priest trying to pull Kelth from under her bed. 'You are coming with me.' Kelth just screamed. ...

Solen and Falin ran out into the street and helped Anargrin into the house. They brought the exhausted, beaten Hunter to the table, and Anargrin slumped into a chair. 'Kelth. Go to bed,' Solen snapped. It caused Kelth to flinch; then, she stormed to her room with tears in her eyes. 'Do you need a he...

We quickly piled into Arlathan's command truck. "Golyat!" Arlathan said. "Get us to Taryst's, quick smart!" "Yes, sir," said the driver, and very soon, we were out of the courtyard and into the streets. The klaxon warbled insistently overhead. "Roldar, Jelket, you'...

That white light slowly began to melt away, revealing the white marble ceiling overhead.

I groaned as the pain in my limbs and exhaustion suddenly return...

Anargrin parried yet another killing blow. The parry's timing and precession were perfect; it had to be, or else he'd be sent stumbling or worse, disarmed by the vampire's superior power. Anargrin sidestepped a thrust, then weaved under a horizontal cut and cursed beneath his breath. He could sense ...

Solen awoke with a start, sitting bolt upright in the bed so fast it woke Falin. 'Did you hear that?' he said. 'Hear what?' said Falin. 'The clashing.' Solen leapt onto his feet and stormed into the kitchen. He looked out the window and reeled. Two figures fought in the street; they were blurs of un...
