Mystery

In our era, where science and technology dominate, magic and the like are always dismissed as myths and legends, elements of folklore. However, a boy named Tom crops up from the rural areas of Detroit. Tom, was a lover of books, a science freak, and an ardent admirer of magic. During his high school days, Tom found a book from one of the world’s most secret occult groups; The Order of the Chalice. This book led him to an unprecedented adventure into the depths of the most hidden places in the world. Meanwhile, Tom’s unrequited lover, Heidi, was worried about Tom and insisted on pursuing him. Tom left home after hijacking his father’s pension funds in search of the Stone of Heka which the occult book told him of. Heidi, on the other hand, cut a frustrated figure as Tom eluded her. Sometime in the future, decades after he left his family, Tom resurfaced. But now, as the ‘vulle guze cha’; the magic Overlord of the Order of the Chalice. Many catastrophic events heralded his ascension and emergence. This caused the States, politicians, and the Order of the Chalice surviving members to become alert. The state thought that a major terrorist group had attacked, while politicians confused, concocted many conspiracy theories in pursuit of the culprit. However, the Order of the Chalice was frenziedly preparing for the homecoming and true ascension of the legendary ‘vulle guze cha’ who will lead them to the limelight, and bring back the golden era of magic. Heidi, who was done with her college education, has been in pursuit of Tom and is the only one who knows his whereabouts. Tom, however, seeks supremacy. He wants to rule the world. An inevitable war will ensue but only Heidi can save the day.

He was hunted by some Centuars and Satyrs after he'd breached the orders of the underworld. Then they pursued him till he lost them to a forest. He was found by some of the creatures who he killed. He stayed in the forest for a while till a lady came to the forest. He was surprised to realize that other creatures existed and stole after her till he found a voluptuous village. He returned to his stead (the trunk of a tree) and would go to steal the babies of the inhabitants of the village. He kept on this and travelled to other parts of sewn villages whenever there was no baby to steal anymore. Nemesis caught up with him when it was time for him to be stolen. Ah! He who steal will be stolen.

This is the Seven Deadly Cardinals - seven stories of seven different people, how they embody the heavenly cardinal in its goodness and then how they are dragged to become the opposite sin. No story is the same, no life is similar. The mental strength and capacity of one might be bigger, but that does not equal certainty of getting out from the troubles of life. There might be longing for what we don't have, driving us to do the unthinkable. Strengths becoming weaknesses, weakness breaking into new strength - it's dance of madness, chaos. Not all is set in stone. The stories include a lady that falls for a serial killer, an actor and tailor, the flower shop owner and orphanage, a priest and gangster mob, an office worker and a stalker, landlords son and new tenant, youth centre worker and how things did not go as it should.

I narrowed my eyes at him and caught glimpse of a guy, standing in a corner and what’s weird is that he wasn’t dancing. He seemed different and odd for all this. He’s looking in my direction, very still and I can see him intermittently. The hat makes it harder to discern. Except for the creepy, fiendish smile, raising the edges of his mouth real slowly. I squinted my eyes at him. He tugged his hat from the right, an expression of a muted Hi! I nodded reflexively and opened my mouth to call Frank, who was busy with stuffing ice cubes in two glasses of beer. “Hey!” I called with my hurting head. “What?” he asked the glasses. “Who’s that? Someone new?” I pointed at him. Frank gave up the stuffing and looked in his direction. “Haven’t seen him before” he said with confusion. . . . Elijah Heath, an eighteen year old teenager was stalked by someone. Read to know who was he? And what made him behave this strangely. Does someone REALLY follows her? Or she's hallucinating like others say? . . . "Is someone there?", I moped around the dim-litted living room. "Guess it's just me. I'm making excuses to cease. No, Elijah! You have to finish this up!". As I ascended three steps, I realized a change in the air pressure around me, an odd creak and a clear presence of heat_ behind me. My breath abated. Just as I plucked the nerve to turn, my ankle was grasped and I slided down as some hand pulled me. My knees rubbed along the hard steps. **Caution**: Contains extremely disturbing content.
