Chapter 45 – The Capital of a New Empire

That was easily the most embarrassing boat ride Julius had ever been on and he had to be rescued by his older sister twice in his life. Granted, she’d been great at intimidating his friends into line on those rides, so there was at least a positive there. The ferry ride, on the other hand,Continue reading “Chapter 45 – The Capital of a New Empire”

Chapter 44 – The Winning Streak Continues

So it turned out Julius didn’t actually have to fight a random woman in a restaurant. In fact, it was kind of the opposite.

Seona had never set a light up, but he was seeing fine yesterday…Weird. Speaking of, the ‘dullahan’ was sleeping aContinue reading “Chapter 39 – New Plans”

Chapter 37 – The Dark Lands

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed on the ‘journey’–everything became a blur of fire as the angel flew Julius to wherever they were going–and the instant Julius regained control over his body again, he had to brace himself as Michael dropped him straight to the rough ground.  A plume of ashContinue reading “Chapter 37 – The Dark Lands”
