《Revenge of Mages Book 1: The Staff of Runetizo》Chapter 10: The Terop Stone
Advertisement
I exited my ‘room’, where I surprised Khel, who was grooming a horse.
“Oh, there you are, Mensal. I was wondering when you were coming out. It’s been 3 weeks since you went in. One day there is one week outside. So, who and what’d you meet in there? And why are you being so morose, with those red and puffy eyes?” Khel rambled.
“I bonded with a dragon, who I named Iris Shiner or Iris. She got pierced in the wing by a Mukoili Yeti, and I need something called the Terop Stone to heal it. I can’t heal her, and even the lightning retriever needs 12 hours in there, or 3 ½ days to retrieve it, while I only have 6 hours, or 1 day. I just don’t know what to do! I need to go to Wfrueia to retrieve it. I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!” I sobbed.
“Wait, you bonded already?! How did you bond with a dragon, and how did you receive its trust?” Khel exclaimed.
“No time to explain; it would take too long. I need to get the Terop Stone.” I hurriedly dismissed Khel’s question.
“Okay then, I have good news for you. The Terop Stone could have been taken by someone else here and is in the loot pile. Or, if it hasn’t been taken, I know someone who knows where Wfrueia is.” Khel replied.
“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!” I exclaimed. “Also, where’s the loot pile?”
“Oh, um, let’s just teleport there in our elevator.” Khel nonchalantly replied.
“WAIT WE HAVE AN ELEVATOR??? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME? I HATED GOING THROUGH THAT TELEPORTER! WHY, JUST WHY, KHEL?!!!”I yelled.
“Whatever. Come on, hurry for Iris.” Khel motioned for me to follow him. We reached the elevator, which I was surprised to discover that it was disguised as a laundry chute. Khel pressed a sequence of buttons, and we arrived at the loot pile. Coins, trinkets, and jewelry were everywhere.

“No sign of any stones.” I sighed.
“Why would we be looking for it? Come on, let’s go to the searcher to look for it.” Khel raced over to a machine that had a keyboard. Khel typed, ‘If TeropStone is not available, transport initiates #2413768 & #5219826 to location #1427682618 in T0101.’ WHOOSH! Items flew past us, with everything not labeled ‘stone’ or ‘Terop’ piling into a giant heap. Soon, some boulders, tiny stones, multi-hued stones, and some random things labeled Terop. We removed the things labeled ‘Terop’.
“Alright, now the system can’t help. The Terop Stone is one of those stones, but you can only take one thing per year. So we can only take two stones in an attempt to save Iris, so let’s make them count.” Khel stated.
I quickly eliminated all of the boulders. “It won’t be that big, right?!”
“Wait a second.” Khel interrupted my line of thought. “If you have the aura seer ability, why don’t you see what aura Iris has and match it against the stones?”
“Brilliant, Khel!”I jumped in excitement, then reached into my memories to see Iris’s aura. “Her aura is rainbow-ish, and the injury is dull green. I assume it is an almost incurable poison.” I looked at the assortment of stones.
There were 3 with a red aura, 2 with a yellow aura, 54 with green, 1 with rainbow, 4 with dull green, and 8 with white.
“Alright, Khel, take that stone that is striped yellow and blue; that has a rainbow aura. I’ll take a stone with a white aura.”
I grabbed a stone that was colorful and had a white aura, then sprinted off to go to my room. As soon as possible, I arrived next to Iris. Iris? Iris, are you still in there? I mentally murmured. Mensal, I told you not to come back. She cried out in pain. Iris, is this the Terop Stone? I held up the colorful stone. No, it is striped in blue and yellow. She croaked. Suddenly, Khel burst into the cavern. “Mensal, your room is amazing!” Then he noticed Iris curled next to me. “So that’s Iris?”

“Yes,” I replied, then communicated with Iris. Is that the Terop Stone?
Her blue and green eyes opened slightly in… excitement?! That is indeed the Terop Stone! Have your friend break it into pieces with his Wedil longsword that he nicknamed Ertyuiop. Then, shower the pieces on my back, then have him chant Hagulohi while you channel your healing magic through the stone.
“Alright, Khel, you want to take after Hyamnai, but today your sword, ‘Ertyuiop’, is going to come in handy right now. Break that stone into pieces.” I ordered.
“Alright, but how did you find out about Ertyuiop?”Khel fiercely blushed.
“Having a dragon has its benefits.” I smiled, then waited for Khel to break the stone. I sprinkled them on Iris’s back, then told Khel to chant ‘Hagulohi’ repeatedly. As Khel did that, I channeled my healing magic, which I found out was greatly magnified by the Terop Stone. Bam! A bright rush of light exploded as we shielded our eyes, and what I saw was amazing…

NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.

There were no boundaries, it was endless, nothing to indicate that there was something within the distance. He grasped his hands and looked upwards towards the sky as he lifted his hands up. A dark void appeared in front of him, but only to disappear once again. Voices entered his thoughts, pain struck his head, he gripped onto his hair and groaned in agony. He looked forward and saw an image blurred in front of him, fading in and out. “Young one... “ the blurred image simply spoke. The young boy didn’t say anything and only looked down at his wound on his chest. It was a large gaping hole that passed through him, however there was no blood spilling out from it, the veins and arteries only dangled in place where a heart was supposed to be. Realising the cause of this scene the boy asked. “Am… I dead?” “Hahaha, no not at all.” A wispy tired voice simply chuckled “Then… what do you want with a dead man… but my hands...boy?” “ Well Do you…” “Do I?” “Want to change fate?” Welcomed edits and suggestions.
