“There weren’t always Dragons in the Valley, but everyone remembered the fateful day that they had arrived.” The muted voice carried over the biting night breeze, Dante sharing a look with his second in command -and trusted friend, Byran- before the knight nodded and turned away to signal to the rest of their troop, who obediently fanned out in order to surround the rebel scum.

The Apeshii Secret
There weren’t always dragons in the valley, the blasphemous words of the old man rang in Lyra’s head. It wasn’t that the words upset her, in fact, quite the opposite. Her family had a secret that had been passed down to her. A story.

Witch wars
Prologue There weren’t always dragons in the Valley and Charlotte wasn’t always a dragon. Charlotte roused at the stretch of her love, the slow movement lifting her out of a beautiful dream. Softly opening her eyes she saw him in the gentle glow of the afternoon light, Dmitry her dragon and the master of her heart. His olive skin glistening slightly in the rays filtering in through the trees outside their bedroom window. His long dark locks curled and twisted over his shoulders. He looked so peaceful she dare not wake him as she climbed out of bed and took a steaming cup of coffee onto the porch. Another sleep in after a long night of conjuration, phantoms and coded messages.

REALMS OF ETERNUM
FROM CHAOS, ORDER There wasn’t always Dragons in the Valley, generations ago these rolling hills and all the lands of Tarchura that stretch out to the Hyumic Sea were covered in lifeless buildings that filled the spaces between incredible towers of stone and iron extending far above the skyline, reaching for Sol himself. As the villages grew in to cities and the cities combined in to megacities, their walls climbed higher and the land between them shrunk. People that were living on top of one another lost their connection with each other and with the magic of nature.

Limbo
I lose sight of a crystal grain whilst raking the ground with my hoe. The shadow energy emanating from the crystal already manifest the moment it touches the cold, black soil. My eyes hastily dart around looking for the grain, knowing full well it’s a losing battle. Why? Why bother wasting my time? It’s already in the ground. It’s already begun taking root. I suppose an eternity in this realm forces one to find anything unusual to break the monotony. My estate is separate from the rest of struggling Winterbrook. The town and it’s people were forced into labour for the king; who issued a monthly tax of ten, full grown Shadow crystals. Rumour says that the king has a mage who can turn the crystals’ shadowy energy into the power to grant our wretched king invulnerability. Make no mistake, even though we do not age past adulthood, we are not immortal, we can be hurt, and nothing hurt more than realizing the cruel fate my king forced upon me.

“There weren’t always dragons in the valley.” His voice, although a whisper, snapped me out of my thoughts. “That can’t be right, can it?” I carefully made my way across the room to him.

A Queen's Calling
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. For the last century, they’ve kept to themselves in the mountains. So much so, the commoners thought they were extinct.
