Excerpt
Mudra
Enter as a child. Bucic raised his sword toward the light incoming from the cavern's ceiling. He stood on top of an ancient pile of seashells. Bucic's blade, Capra, caught the holy light perfectly. Bucic's blade was called Capra because Capra is Latin for 'goat', which, translated now, means "greatest of all time".

God King: Book 1
Chapter One At almost six feet, brown skinned, straight nosed, long black and gold dread locs and sixteen year old Zahair Nzama and his best friend Emeil sit cross legged under a tree on Zahair’s family estate playing marbles and chatting. They both live in Kingdom 3, a Kingdom that hasn’t seen a proper King in at least five years. They were under threat of being overthrown and losing their Kingdom to simply become inhabitants of another Kingdom, succumbing to their rules and ways of life. Zahair’s family estate was vast with flourishing land and cattle. They earned their money through selling or trading cattle. Both Emeil and Zahair live on separate family estates but spent most of their time together. So it was pretty common for Emeil to be hanging out with Zahair as he completed chores. Zahair developed a bond with Emeil when Emeil's parents passed away a few years ago. They became a sort of family with Emeil's grandparents and Zahair's parents.

Surviving Death
Noise filled Marla’s mind. Thousands of voices overlapped in a cacophony of a screaming white roar, crashing around in her head; confusing her senses as she lay frozen in bed in the dead of night. A crushing weight squeezed her chest. She wheezed. Her whistling breath quietly echoed in the still of the room. Panic exploded inside her and the bedroom walls began to close in.

Is God Real?
Are God Real? The question of whether or not God is real has been debated for centuries. While there is no definitive answer to this question, there are many theories and arguments that have been used to support both sides of the debate. On one side, there are those who argue that God exists and is an all-powerful, all-knowing being that created the universe and everything in it.

A child and a deer
One day, in a remote village in the countryside, a little boy of seven years old lived with his family consisting of a father, a mother, and an old grandmother. The child was named Omar, and he had blond hair, a white face, and brown eyes. Omar used to go every morning to the school that was located in the forest. It is a small house in which there is one large room made of wood, and it is the classroom in which the students study, learn reading, writing, arithmetic, and memorizing beautiful songs. One day, Omar was returning from school, and he saw a deer looking at him from afar and calling him in human language, saying to him: Come, Omar, come and help me. It speaks in human language, so he was afraid of that deer and ran to his house, and in the evening he wanted to tell his parents what he had seen, but he was afraid that they would not believe him; There is no animal that spoke before today to speak deer. Omar did not tell anyone what he had seen, but rather began to doubt himself and say: Did I really see a deer, and did he talk to me? I must not have seen anything, and if I had seen that deer, he would have come to the house and asked me for help. Yes, he did not exist, and I was only delusional. The next day, Omar actually went to school, and while he was walking to school, he was thinking about that deer that he saw, and he looked to the right and to the left, trying to see if there was really a deer, or was he delusional? Omar arrived at the school and did not see the deer in the place where he had seen it the day before, and throughout the school hours Omar was distracted and did not pay attention to the miss thinking about the deer and thinking that he would meet him on the way back home. After the end of the school hours, Omar returned, as usual, alone to his house, which is located at the end of the forest. On the way, he stopped in the same place where he had seen the deer the day before. He waited a little while looking in all directions, but he did not see the deer. From afar he calls: O Omar, O Omar, so Omar turned and saw the deer that he had seen the previous day standing far away and calling him, but this time Omar did not fear, but answered him and said to him: What do you want, O deer? So the deer approached him and said to him: My master, who sympathizes with me, and raised me since I was a young deer who needed help and I could not, would you go with me to him? Omar said to him: Where does your master live, O deer? He said: He lives in the house that is located behind that far hill, so Omar looked and knew the place, so he said to the deer: Wait for me here so I will return home and put my books and notebooks and return to you, and indeed Omar returned home and put his school books and notebooks and went to his father and told him what he saw, he did not believe The father is what he heard from his son for the first time, so he thought that Omar had fallen asleep and watched this speech in his dream, but Omar told him that the deer was waiting for us, so Omar's father went out with his son to see that deer and help him if he really needed help. When Omar and his father arrived at the place, they did not find the deer, and it seemed that he had fled when he saw Omar's father from afar. Omar has the house that the deer referred to is located behind the mountain, so Omar and his father went to that house, and when they arrived they found a simple house made of wood with an open door, so Omar's father stood at the door and called, then he heard a weak voice from inside saying to him: Go ahead, good man. Omar's father and son Omar entered and found a weak old man lying on his back. The man said: Welcome to the good people, welcome to the father who loves his children. Omar's father said: Who are you? And what are you doing here? What is the story of the deer? The man said: I am a woodcutter working here in the mountains, and one day I returned from my work and found this deer lying on the snow, so I carried it home and warmed it by the stove, and I treated it and discovered that it speaks and that it came from a far country where animals speak the language of humans. This deer was helping me with everything I wanted, until the disease made me sick and I could no longer work, so I sent him to speak to Omar in order to help me, and Omar said: I cannot help you without telling my father. Whatever you want, but after Omar's time at school ends. The moral of this story, my children's friends, is that a boy should not go to a strange place or talk to strangers without his parents' permission, and he should take one of them with him.
