《La Puerta de Maltras eng.》SS 1

SS1: The guardians
*Third person POV*
A pure white light illuminated the sacred enclosures built with marble. Beautiful reliefs and angelic sculptures would be the envy of every artist.
A monument to beauty and wealth.
The temple of Waltanica, also called "The palace of the Arc".
In front of a huge pillar, the source of the sacred light, a young woman dressed in white and gold silky clothes, was praying with both hands in front of her.
"More than seven thousand years have passed. Bravery... no, the insolence of the demon king is something to be feared." (?)
A young man dressed in clothes similar to those of the maiden approached her. Contrasting the atmosphere around the young woman praying, which could be described as that of imperturbable waters, the boy was like a merciless sword.
They both belonged to the same race. A feature they both shared was the pair of beautiful white wings growing from their backs.
The Arc, apostles of the gods.
"That's not all, Ertt" (Young Priestess)
"Mmm?" (Ertt)
"A soul that should not exist. A seed of the demon king, his legacy, has been planted in the world." (Young Priestess)
"Then one of his daughters survived... I thought we had killed them all. Which of them is and how did she escape?" (Ertt)
The young man, by the name of Ertt, remained calm, but clearly he was annoyed. A frail person could even die by being seen with those eyes.
"There are a lot of things I do not know about in this situation, and that bothers me. That time we kill all of his descendants, there is no doubt about that. The irregularity I feel is different from the souls of his daughters, a new soul." (Young Priestess)
"Then I suppose I'll have to go down to look for that irregularity and kill it." (Ertt)

The young priestess did not answer, only nodded softly. This response made Ertt smile, softly smile. No matter how many times he saw that expression in the girl, regardless of his long years of life, that look on her seemed adorable as always.
Following the orders they had both decided, Ertt prepared to leave immediately.
"Before you go ... Visit the inner sanctuary." (Young Priestess)
"It’s useless, I have not been able to handle ‘it’ since that time." (Ertt)
"At least its protection will guide you on your journey" (Young Priestess)
Ertt nodded and shifted his way to a descending stairs.
"May the gods and the sword of Templates guide your steps." (Young Priestess)

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
