February 17th; New Mexico...
The stars shine as it’s nighttime in a small town of New Mexico. A couple walks down a street after a date. They were enjoying the night; however, they hear a strange sound.
(PIU, PIU, PIU)
(BBBOOOMMM)
The body of a man falls to the ground causing the girl to scream. “H-H-Help me…” The man extends his arm to the couple.
The couple begins to run away. Suddenly, they see a man wearing a cowboy hat swings by and lands in front of the couple saying:
“GAME OVER”
A person points the gun at the man and fires a bullet hitting the man.
(BBOOOOMMMM)
The man explodes causing the couple to panic. The cowboys looks around and notices them:
“Oh dear, you saw me, didn't you? Well no matter, I'll give you 5 seconds to run.”
The couple begins to run, the cowboy points the gun to the sky and fires two bullets.
(BBBBOOOOMMMM)
The bullets land on the couple killing them instantly:
“Sorry but no witnesses.”
A portal opens and Darius appears saying; “Good evening Coyote I have a new job for you.” Coyote smiles and says: “Who is my target this time.”
Darius shows a picture, Coyote smiles and says:
“Well, well, so he is the one, I haven’t seen him in years…where is he?”
“Rio Grande City...the Borderland…”
“Excellent...the Ysleta Pueblo is located there…”
“Do you accept the job?”
“Sure thing, I will make it quick…”
“Well, you are the Greatest Bounty Hunter; Sundance Coyote Bill…”
Coyote lights a cigarette and replies; “Indeed I am...get ready Rio Grande City...it’s time for the hunt to begin…”
Chicago, Illinois
The city of Wind, Chicago, a city that has the tallest buildings...located in a famous hotel, the last floor witnessed an unpleasant event…

A man wearing a suit runs, firing his hand gun towards a strange mist that appeared on the floor.
“STAY AWAY!” The screams desperately, in the mist as a figure appears, the figure isn’t very tall, the figure charges straight at him.
“NO...STAY BACK!” The man continues to fire, the figure evades all the bullets and jumps without him noticing. The man breathes heavily, he looks everywhere pointing his gun.
“Over here…” The man hears the voice of a girl, he looks up and the figure falls towards him kicking him.
(PUUMMM)
The figure holds him down, with a knife pointing at his neck. “Please, leave me alone, I don’t know anything…”
“Silly man, I don’t need anything, I'm just here to kill you…” The figure who has the voice of a girl laughs.
“NO WAIT…”
(SSSLLLAASSHHH)
The figure instantly kills the man by slashing his throat.
“Aww...that was no fun…” The figure removes her cloak revealing to be a girl, she has a black military suit, and she is wearing a mask that has no face, only white on one side and black on the other.
“Enough, Drought…we’ve completed the mission…” Two others appear in the mist, one is taller than the other. The girl with a playful tone puts her hood back on and skips towards them. As she skips, the mist begins to clear, revealing dozens of bodies in the floor, blood in the windows and the floor completely destroyed.
“Our next mission is on Sun City…”
To Be Continued…

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
