Tales of a Wizard’s Thief (Complete)

Prologue My name is Sinclair and I was born on the street. I do not remember my mother and never knew my father. I was raised mostly by various thieves. By ten I was one of the best pickpockets and could pick any lock. By fourteen I was one of the best thieves in the city. I had an edge over the others because I could see the signs magic left. Oh, I was not a mage or wizard but seeing the signs of magic let me avoid traps that caught others. I was eighteen when I met the mage Silver. I was feeling a little bored and it had started to rain. The mage shop was quaint with glazed glass windows. I slipped the lock easily and stepped in avoiding a magic trap on …

A Good Man 7

A Good Man 7 —————————————————————————————————————————– Awakening Tom was still tired, damn hadn’t been like that since all this started. Rolling out of bed he was shocked to see Futha sitting beside his bed, she hadn’t made a sound upon entering waiting quietly for Tom to awake. “Hello Futha, I’m sorry I wasn’t awake to greet you,” Tom said. Again Futha was surprised no one apologised to brownies, especially mages, they always seemed aloof like they were better than everyone. Hell that was the main reason the council of magical beings was formed to keep the mages mostly in check. “Hello mage Tom, I am here today with a request for you, as you know I have now lost 2 children. I wish more but with my husband dead I haven’t much hope of his children …

Mercenary Scout

My name is Hunter Silvan. I am nineteen and had just finished burying the last of my family. We have lived here at the base of the northern mountains for ten generations. I have grown up learning to fight, track and hunt, my mother had made sure I could read and write as well. Life around the only pass out of the north was always hard. Besides the King’s Keep filled with soldiers, there were constant raids by Dark elves, orcs or goblins, there were occasionally trolls or long toothed lions. I straightened and looked across the fields in the valley below to see a large city. This was where I had been told the mercenary companies wintered. I was looking for work as a scout and started down the road pulling the pack horse …

Ranger of the north (Complete)

Chapter one Earning my weapons My father had been a ranger and his and his. I had trained all my life to follow them and as soon as my twentieth year came I left the large fortress in Blue Pass. Many went north through the pass to earn their place, I went west along the mountains. I traveled with only my pack and slept high in trees each night. It was a month before I reached the area known as the Haunting. The forest was thick and had a hunting parties of orcs that came through. I slept in a huge tree in the very crown. I dozed and woke twice for patrols and then my eyes snapped open to the shaking of the tree. There was not much of a moon but I saw …

Shadow (Complete)

Chapter 1 I was born William Edward Kingson. My mother had been a maid in the Keep of king Henry. I was the bastard son he refused to acknowledge like several others. My mother ended up marrying the captain of his guards. He was the one that taught me how to use weapons and how to fight. I was fourteen when the king became ill. Captain Mambly arranged for me to work as a caravan guard leaving the kingdom. For four years I traveled the world and learned many things. When I returned to Eustria it was to learn of my mother’s death. She had died not long after the captain who had died shortly after the king. The whole kingdom was changed. It was hard or impossible for people to leave and the nobles …

THE MOON STONE, Part 2

THE MOON STONE Part 2 By Hardrive Several days passed since Danielle’s encounter with the police officer. She used that time she experiment with the Moon Stone and got to know how to use some of its powers. The alien’s gift was amazing and there was much more to learn, but she had other obligations. There were deadlines to meet and several photo essays to produce before the end of the week, so she tossed the stone in her sock drawer and went about her business. A few days later she was putting the finishing touches on the last article when the doorbell rang. It was the middle of the afternoon and Danielle was still in her underwear. She liked feeling comfortable while she worked so she normally didn’t get fully dressed unless she was …

Modern Mage – Chapter 12

For those who are still reading the series I appreciate the following and will continue writing it as it comes to me. It has a slow progression as that I how I feel it needs to be written. While the tale could continue forever i will end this portion on the story when the time comes. It’s still got at least a few more chapters to it, maybe more. I decided that I needed to find an Elysium like it would be simple. The world Elysium was taken from Greek Mythology referring to the Elysian Fields or their version of paradise. In the supernatural communities it refers to sanctuaries and neutral territories. Most of these places only cater to one kind of supernatural and their locations are a guarded secret among them. On a few …

The Cat (Complete)

Part one I walked the street, no one giving me a second look. They all thought I was a beggar or street scum that preyed on the unwary. I was wearing ragged looking clothes and was dirty and kind of unkempt. Even though I was eighteen I looked much younger. It was the front I put on for the people. I am James the street rat to many people or James the sneak. You see my mother… well, foster mother always said, “People only see what you allow them to.” My mother… that is another story, she claimed me as a babe. My parents had died of some sickness that swept the city. The city guards were going to take me to an orphanage but mother claimed me, she told them I was hers. The …

Shadow Walker (Complete)

Chapter one I stared at the manor house of the cruel noble intently. I had been watching it every night for the last week. Soon it would be midnight and I had decided to move by then. Silently I moved to the edge of the roof and swung over to carefully make my way down the side of the building. Keeping to the shadows I crossed to the outer wall of the manor where I paused to listen. Silently I climbed the wall and pulled my body up to lay flat on top. It was only a moment later that the sentry walked around the corner and slowly made his way past me. As soon as he rounded the far corner I slid off the top of the wall and quietly climbed down to crouch …

In Riley’s Arms: Part 2

I stood looking at myself in the full length mirror behind the bathroom door. My dress was almost lime green, but a duller and darker than what is normally attributed to the color. It hung rather fitted along my chest and stomach, with straps falling to the sides of my shoulders, and at the hips it cascaded downward in a silky flow. My hair was left straight down, falling near the middle of my back. I wore very little make up and only managed one inch heels the same color as my dress. If I were being honest with myself, I would say that I actually didn’t look as ridiculous as I had first thought I would. In fact, I looked pretty. Older. A bit more mature. “Holly?” My brother tapped lightly on the door …

Magical Hearts chapter 2

Magical Hearts Meeting my father-in-law: chapter 2 Once we land in a clearing some distance up the road away from the East gate. Justin says, “We did make excellent time. That has to be the fastest carpet I have ever used. You two did excellent on its creation.” I smile and say, “Thank you Master Justin.” I bend over just low enough to give Isabel a peck on the cheek. Before I move away I whisper, “Thank you Isabel that was the fourth time I tried that enchantment, and the only time it worked. I definitely cannot do that without you.” Isabel shines at the compliment. She turns her head and catches my lips. I know this is not normal behavior for a betrothed couple. Usually any type of public display is highly frowned upon. …

You Will Welcome Death

Some may remember sitting in a darkened room, watching Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery.” Each episode began with an unusual painting, about which Mr. Serling would deliver a brief monolog, something along these lines: “Consider, if you will, what may be the most well-known and oft-copied works of a man named Henry Fuseli, scholar, man of the cloth, and painter of the different and disturbing. Like many artists, he sketched sometimes before mixing his pigments. The subject of our tale is a simple pencil drawing, perhaps a preliminary study for Fuseli’s “The Nightmare” paintings. “Carl Singleton is a would-be art dealer. We will let him tell you about his find himself.” Not many people showed up for the widow Collins’ sale that dank October day. The house was slated for demolition to allow construction of a …

Dancer

I slipped forward and half bowed to the master before shifting my weight. The attack came suddenly and I slid to the left as I pulled both short curved blades and deflected one of the master’s. I continued moving as I slipped his next strike away and sliced with my other blade. It was deflected up and out and I brought my other blade in and turned to block a strike. This was not the first time we had faced one another and I let the motions flow through me. Block, slid, slash, shift, turn, stab, block. Finally the master stepped back and bowed. I sheathed my blades and bowed, “thank you master.” He smiled faintly, “do not thank me Dancer.” I bowed again, “as you wish.” He gestured to the door, “never forget the …

New Life Part 2_(1)

Three years later, Kerry and I were doing fine. Our move to San Diego had definitely been a big change for us, but it was a good change. I had talked to my boss and was able to make a transfer to a branch that resided close to our new home. We lived 15 minutes from the beach if we walked, and the sun was always shining. Kerry had finished up the 4th grade before we made our move and started school the following fall here in California. Unfortunately, her crooked teeth made the need for braces. I had never heard of a 5th grader needing braces already before, and Kerry wasn’t particularly happy either. We had gotten then put on a couple weeks after school had started and the kids in her class had …

The Wrath of Gaia pt 6

The Wrath of Gaia pt 6 So I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I feel like you all should deserve a say in it seeing as it effects you all just as much as myself. I know the main complaint about my story so far is that I just don’t write enough. I have known this for a while and still struggle to put out more than what seems to be my limit in each chapter. I have already decided I’m not going to hate myself over this, but I must ask for you all to make a decision. Would you like me to make a secondary account where, going forward, I would post the stories by combining three parts. I’d still have this channel posting every two days, but …

Modern Mage – Chapter 3

This chapter is a little longer than the first 2, with a lot more explanation of what his world is and introduces some of the dangers the denizens of the world face. There is no sex in this one, it’s more character development. The primary point of this story is the morality of having power and how to use it. Please leave any constructive feedback or let me know what you think of the story. If you have anything you want to see PM me and if it fits in the tale I’ll see about including it. After looking into my past and seeing nothing but the nature of time and entropy bringing me to Vegas I was able to settle my thoughts and focus on getting settled in. I began by pulling out my …

Magical Hearts chapter 4

Wedding problems: chapter 4 The Duke had murdered more than the priestess who had come before him. He and his men had went to the Temple of Aphrodite and killed all there. Even the youngest acolyte was murdered, and no one to officiate our wedding ceremony. No wonder he had angered the gods so greatly, to show such cruelty even unto a child. That left us with a major problem, if we could not get all we needed in time, we would die on the setting of the next full moon. I did not fear for myself, but Isabel I could not see suffer. It was true that we had our carpet, and the two of us along with a small party could easily travel to the next Temple, a journey of four days by …

Beauty and The Beast: Chapter 5

Summer gave way to autumn and The Beast’s attitude towards Rose slowly mellowed, although the moments of genuine cordiality between them never quite returned. He made awkward conversation, took occasional walks with her in the garden, and started sitting beside her again during her reading lessons, which now focused on a book called The History of Miss Betsy Thoughtless. Even now though, he would often depart her company with sudden urgency. Rose noted that he did this not only when his hunger or anger seemed to be emerging, but also when their conversation became livelier or friendlier. She understood why he was being careful to control himself, but it was a mystery why he would not allow their friendship to fully heal. Once they had settled into this new rhythm, Rose resolved to put the …

Another chapter down; enjoy it and please keep the feedback coming. If you like it let me know, if you have questions I’ll try to answer them, just register on the Forums and send me a PM or leave them in the comments. Thank you for reading the story. After Sindee left for her meeting I had to get started on my day. First thing I did was call Marcus and arrange to pick him up after I finished at the Architect’s office. We went over the plans and finalized most of the design aspects. There were still a few details that had to be worked out and some additions that I might be adding before we started the process of finding the builders. I left the architect’s office feeling good about how the design …
