Order
of Terima Chronicles Volume 1
by
Chad McClendon
Genre:
Fantasy
In
a world where witches have been revered, a cataclysmic evening
changes everything.
Natalsa,
the last witch, must find out what has robbed her of her power. But
more than this, she must protect the world from the new order that
has arisen, and cure a sweeping disease that threatens her new
home.
There
is evil to be undone, and Natalsa may have to sacrifice it all, in
order to save those she loves.
She started to cry immediately, and begged the powers of the air for their blessing. She was screaming as his body began to hurdle towards the earth. Fervently her lips danced with words of supplication, and towards the end of his descent they turned to demented screams. His body crumbled perversely, and the fear was the last emotion on his face. She could not handle what was happening, and she began to fall back into the crowds.
This was all her fault, she should have surrendered and they would have lived. "Why are you doing this?" She shouted at the heavens. She spat on the earth, and cursed the winds. "Do you want this power to rule? Should I spill my blood here and give myself to him? Fucking work damn you!" She spun around, kicking the dirt and knocking crates and debris over. "Answer me! Years I have gone without answers and before I die I want to understand!"
