Gift And Secrets
Jordan arrived in an underground chamber and a staircase led down. he walked down the staircase and it led to a specific room where a large number of books were securely saved. The space was lined with shelves packed with books. As Jordan approached forward, a glass case stood still where the forbidden book was being kept sealed. And as Jordan got closer, the lamp at the library's entrance flickered on, this made Jordan freeze in place, his legs pausing to the ground. “Did someone follow me?” Jordan wondered, his eyes darting around the room. When he saw no one, he slowly opened the glass case, placed the book inside, and quietly shut it closed.“Wow… I have finally returned the book, what a relief,"Jordan gasped, turning to leave—only to hear footsteps echoing from above, along the path that led to his father’s room.“Shit. Could it be my father, coming to check on the book?” Jordan muttered, quickly hiding himself in one of the pillar shadows. Moments later, just as he feared, the
A Mother Legacy's
“Oh gosh, even you?” Jordan shifted his gaze to Fiona, then continued, “I can’t believe you’ve joined them in mocking me, using that same word of me been a child not an adult, ooh gosh am so disappointed, can't believe that the only person I love is also against me,” Jordan sighed, falling back onto the bed.“I’m not mocking you, my little angel. That’s just the truth. Anyways, I have something special for you, would you love to see it," Fiona coexed gently.Jordan jumped up eagerly from the bed, as he replied, “Please! I want to see it!” he cried, tugging Fiona's hands.“Hold on a bit Ryan, If you keep rushing me, I might not give it to you, so stay calm and let the process gradually move itself,” Fiona warned playfully. “If you really want to see what I’ve brought you, then you need to sit down and be patient,” she added. “Okay, Fiona. I’m sitting now, and I’m relaxed. Can you show it to me, please?” Jordan replied with a grin, his teeth shining wide.“Alright, here it goes,” Fiona
A Promise To keep
Jordan offered a nervous smile as he tried to form a lie, “I mistakenly hurt myself while walking out the door.”Fiona raised a brow at his response, she knew something was wrong, walking past the door wouldn't course such a burn on his skin. “Really? Are you trying to pull out some games with me here, do you think what you have just said will make me foolishly believe that this injury is from a door, it doesn't even look like a cut, it looks like a burn,” fiona said angrily, pushing herself closer to Jordan as she navigate her eyes over the injury. “Let me have a clearer look at your hand,” she demanded. Fiona's eyes trailed down to Jordan’s hands as she carefully examined it, and in an instant, her expression changed.“The burns on your hands isn’t ordinary, it looks like something of high class attacked you, something out of the ordinary,” she said, her tone tightening. “You need to tell me the truth, Ryan. Don’t make me angry.”Jordan realising he had been caught in his lies, ga
The Gathering Storm
Jordan gasped softly, then pushed his gaze upwards as he replied. “I didn’t go there alone. Ethan took me.”“Ethan?” Fiona’s voice shot up. “Ethan took you there?” she added, her teeth gritted. “Yes, he did,” Jordan replied, pushing his head down, then gasped. “Why would he take you there?” Fiona insisted with a knitted brow. “He needed my help to interpret something from the forbidden book,” Jordan replied.Fiona froze. “Wait—hold on. Forbidden book you say?” she echoed, horror creeping into her voice. Fiona stood up from the bed and began pacing the room, arms crossed tightly across her chest.“Ethan took you to the mountaintop... to help interpret a text from the forbidden book?” she muttered, then turned and squinted her eyes at Jordan before continuing, “That book has been buried and forgotten for decades. How did you even get your hands on it?” she asked. “I took it from Father’s library,” Jordan admitted, gasping.Fiona’s jaw dropped. “You took it from your father? From Kin
Father And Son
Just then, Julien’s voice sounded. “I noticed some things that aren’t right, and I want to confirm them with you, Ryan.”Jordan was stunned, unsure of what Julien meant. The only thing that flashed through his mind was the forbidden book he had taken, which he was pretty sure he had returned it safely without being seen. And on the way round, if Julien truly knew he had taken the book and returned it, which was what Fiona was scared of, he could be in serious trouble.“Yes, Father. Please go on. I’m listening,” Jordan replied with a smile. Julien nodded slowly, then began, “It’s about Ethan—your private teacher. Have you noticed anything strange about him lately?”Jordan hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say. His father's question caught him off guard. Clearly, Julien suspected something, but Jordan knew he had to stay in character, he shouldn't make a mere question break his pretence of the secrets his hiding. He had to stick to Fiona warning and promise he had made, which
The tavern Of A Trembling Underworld
“Yes. We're heading to the main town of Sinclair. There are people I want you to meet.”Jordan's eyes lit up with excitement but suspicion and curiosity dangled within his happiness. Not only was his father taking a walk with him, which rarely happens, but he was also about to explore the town alongside the king.“Wow! That’ll be interesting,” Jordan said, smiling brightly.“Okay father, let's head out, can't wait to see the market and many more things about the town,” Jordan said excitedly, jumping as he walked forward. “No Ryan, you ain't walking, am the one doing the walking, you will be on my shoulders throughout the journey,” Julien said with a chuckle then bent down, lifted Jordan onto his shoulders, and began walking. “Wow father, your shoulders are broad,” Jordan said with a laugh, touching Julien's shoulders as he admired them. “By the way father,” Jordan continued, “won’t there be guards coming with us? I know you don’t like walking alone,” Jordan inquired.Julien laughe
Whispers From The Past
“My lord, it’s rare to see you in a place like this. Do you need our help with a mission?” Thomas asked, relaxing his hands on the table as he stared at Julien. Julien shook his head as he replied calmly, “No, Thomas. I’m here with my son. I just wanted to take him for a walk.”“Hold on a moment—is this the young Lord Ryan?” Thomas’s eyes widened in surprise as he shifted his gaze to Jordan, and Jordan eyes met with Thomas and he snapped inside, Thomas was so huge and has a large cut on his face that turned to a mark, making him look scary, his premolar teeth were all replaced with pure gold, and at the right hand side of his wrist, he has a coloured tattoo of a bird, and in his chest, he has a tattoo face of a lady, touching her hair, and at some point, Jordan could swear that she moved. “What in the… did that thing just move,” Jordan thought to himself completely dumbfounded. “It’s been so long since I last saw him. The last time was when he was still a baby. Looking at him now,
The Ghost Grandmother
The men Julien introduced were his elite squad—his most trusted warriors. They carried out secret missions, including guarding Sinclair Kingdom’s eastern borders. They also wielded demon energy detectors, which allowed them to locate and eliminate any demons that crossed into the kingdom, killing them silently all without the civilians knowing. Their silent service was what kept the city safe, making people forget that demons ever existed.“Where are we going next, Father?” Jordan asked, his hands resting on Julien's hair. “We’re going to visit your grandmother,” Julien replied.Jordan blinked vigorously, stunned. “Grandmother?” he whispered. No one had ever told him she was alive. “If she’s alive, then why isn’t she living in the castle with the rest of us?” he wondered, completely confused and lost.“Are you surprised?” Julien asked with a faint smile, after noticing how stunned Jordan was. “Yes, Father,” Jordan admitted, swallowing. “I thought… maybe she died of old age,” he adde
The House That Moves
Soon, Julien and Jordan reach their destination, A house looking like it's hunted. Just by looking at the creepy house, Jordan felt a wave of unease wash over him, he began getting uncomfortable and he could feel his hands shaking. They stood before a house secluded from the main town somewhere in the out sketch of the forest creeping with darkness and insects of different species. It looked old and rumpled, almost as if no one had lived there for years. Jordan, staring at the house, and also notices his father not saying a word as the both stared at the house suddenly got curious and asked, “Why does that house look so mysterious and scary, Dad? It looks like no one lives there,” Jordan whispered, still puzzled as to why they had stopped in a place like this.Julien chuckled. “The house you see is your grandmother’s,” Julien announced gently and Jordan raised a brow in surprise. “Wow father, are you for real,” Jordan mumbled with disbelief. Julien chuckled with a slight laughter b
The Unveiling Of The Matriarch
Suddenly, a spear shot out from inside the house which door was wide open, aimed directly at Jordan. Its speed and movement was so fast that made Jordan barely able to track the momentum of the moving spear. The spear slashed through the air, almost cutting Jordan's cheek, the distance from the point of collision with Jordan's cheek was just an inch. And after passing Jordan, the spear met up to a tree and pierced through it. half of the tree sliced out, and the tree dangled before falling to the ground. “Whoa, Dad!” Jordan shouted in fear, instinctively grabbing his father.“Don’t worry, my son. Grandmother won’t hurt you, she's just playing one of her silly tricks on us,” Julien said calmly smiling. “I’d better stay alert, can't afford to make that thing come close to me again. I would have lost my life if the spare target was accurate,” Jordan said in thought. “That spear nearly took my eyes out. Is my Grandmother trying to kill me or what? If yes then we have to get the hell out
