《Aas-e-Ishq (Hope Of Love)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Sitting near the window of her room she looked at the blessings of Allah. The rain was getting furious second by second. Seems like clouds are crying for there love for ocean aware that they can't meet each other. The petrichor of their love was blooming the whole surrounding.
She sighed in satisfaction absorbing the surrounding aura of rain.
But life doesn't take a second for giving reality check. She smiled sadly at the irony. Just like the clouds have stored the heart of ocean in themselves, she has also stored someone entirely in herself but just like cloud she has also earned for the love of certain someone. Even when she knew just like the clouds can't meet the ocean she also can't get her love.
"Hoooorrrr jaldi aao. Ammi ne garam garam pakode banaye or kya batau uski khushbu to pure mohalle me faili hui hai" She came to reality when her cousin aka her best friend called her for evening snacks.
"Tum uthi nhi abhi tak chalo jaldi"
Fajar didn't even gave her chance to speak and dragged her to the living room downstairs.
"Ammi ka call aya tha?"
Her khaala asked her as she entered the living room.
"Nhi khalajan Ammi ko aj kal unki badi beti or nawase se fursat kaha."
"Han han drame dekho iske, jaise abba ke das call aye hi nhi hoge." She dramatically said making a very masooom expression which was not digested by Ahmer.
"Han to hai hum apne abbu k ladle aap kyu jal rahe hai." She was not to sit back in this fight.
"Jale mere dushman. Jal to tum rahi ho, apni behn se bhala koi jalta hai."
"Shut uppp!" She said throwing the cushion at his face who was chewing the pakodas very inhumanly.

Everybody shook their heads at their fight as it was everyday thing for them. They both began to run after each other with cushions in their hands and soon Fajar joined them which caused them to look like lunatics.
"What the hell is happening here?" A loud voice boomed in the haveli which startled Ahmer and the result was the loud crashing voice of glass.The cushion which was aimed at Hoor colloided with the vase. Pin drop silence surrounded them as both of them together looked at the crushed flower pot of Dadijan's dowry.
They looked at the owner of the voice which was to be blamed for the accident.
Hooriya's heartbeat skipped for a second hearing his voice.
Her back was facing the main gate where he was standing. She was sure as hell that even if it was not her fault he would definitely blame her.
"Bh..bhai..bhaijan... ap kab aye? Aye na darwaze par kyu khade hai?" Ahmer stuttered profusely.
"Ham abhi ate hai!" Hoor tried to disappear from the scene. But the next words of Zaydan rooted her to her spot. "Pehle Dadijan ko to batado what you have done THIS time". He said pressuring at this like it wasn't the first time she had caused any problem.
"Ap tension na le. Unhi k paas ja rahe hai." She answered him now changing her route to Shahana Begum's room.
"Aree aree tum kyu jaogi unke pas vase Ahmer se toota hai to wahi jayega." Fajar tried to save her bestie from the situation.
"Koi baat nhi Fajar hum sambhal lege waise bhi Dadijan hame nhi dategi". Hoor just spared a glance towards the fun intruder and sprinted off to Dadijan's room.
"Bhai apko use aisa nhi kehna chahiye tha. Asal me galti to apki hai. Na ap aakar itne zor se chillate or na hi hm log darte..."

"Bakwas band karo tum apni!"
Fajar at once went silent at her brother's rude words.
"Wo is ghar ki fard nhi hai. Use koi farak nhi padega kuch toote ya nhi. Lekin tum log to is ghar k fard ho, tum logo ko khayal rakhna chahiye." He at once turned to his mother "Or Ammi ap...ap bhi inhe kuch nhi kehti. Nuksan hamara hua hai us ladki ko koi farak nhi padega."
"Bas karo Zaydan. Kya ho gaya hai tumhe? Galti tumhari bhi thi jiski saza ab wahi ladki lene gayi hai. Or ab wo bhi is ghar ki fard hai kaan khol kar sun lo tum. Agli baar mai aisi baat tumhare mu se na sunu." Rukhsar begum scolded her son and went away to the kitchen.
Zaydan took time to register his mother's word. She was just his Chachi's sister's daughter. It was just roughly 4 to 5 months since her stay here and everyone was already taking her side in everything. He came out of his thoughts when he heard Ahmer's disbelieving voice.
"Hooorrriyaaa".
Can this evening can get any worse. He thought and turned around.

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
