Ravin grinned lightly, leaning closer to the man’s ear. “You first,” Ravin whispered to him.
Fire engulfed the man in an instant. Burning the flesh in the palm of Ravin’s hand as Henry wailed, flailing about as if it would save him. This death was granted by The Divine and only they could stop it.
The flames grew with rage coursing through their embers. Becoming bright, beautiful, and deadly. Licking the house’s interior for scrap once the body fell silent. The fiery embers changed to blue to reveal the wonder of the flame.
Ravin watched bored of the site. Such a thing shouldn’t be possible as it was. He felt not an inch of fear as the fire began to consume the house. Spreading its heat and ash to a point of unbeatability.
Something he had been immune to since birth. In times like this, he often forgot how human people could be. How easily it was to cause another harm, physically and mentally.
You don't have to read this bit if you were prefer not to. This scene isn't very graphic in my opinion. I only list it as so because of some peoples preferences.
That being said, this story is an Epic/Dark Fantasy book.
No one knows what started the war. That part of history had been lost to time long ago. All that remained were the stories our ancestors told us at night. Tales of grandeur, a life at sea, the battles waged, and tales of love. Stories that would inspire hope in the darkest of times.
What power did stories hold when the only thing that mattered was staying alive? When the story had been picked apart till not even the lesson remained? Twisted by time itself into something new. What power could a single soul possess against a world ending war? Who knew what lied in store for a little nobody from the north? Who knew that when this little 19-year old nobody, named Jax, met Ravin, a lone ranger, that the world as they knew it would be forever changed?
To discover the truth about the past, you must rewrite your future to set things right. To find the missing piece, you must dance with the Dead King.
