Chapter 13. Slayers

A scream carried to his right, gunshots to his left. 

He looked both ways.

“Gunshots, I guess… because I hate myself,” Abe groaned and turned left.

Several more shots e...

Chapter 12. Invaders

Elissa stormed across the armory, picking up two heavy-looking, double-axes and flinging them over her shoulders.

Turning back around, she glanced at Abe, “What are you waiting for?”

Chapter 11. Manor

“This is for you,” Kearn said as Abe left the room, handing him a key.

Abe eyed the intricate silver key in his palm marked by a heart.

“It's the key to your new room. The Mistres...

Chapter 10. Report

Abe showered and then made his way to the Kennels—fresh clothing and boots were provided. Ricky no longer bothered locking him up, or even forcing him into a cell, allowing him to roam the room.<...

Chapter 9. Brains

Pulling the dagger free, Abe spilled blood across the ground and steadied his feet. Twirling the stiletto around his hand, and almost dropping it in the process—Abe cast an embarrassed frown as h...

Chapter 8. Tentacles

Pushing into the dark, Abe stopped to sniff. He hoped to illuminate that monster in his mind’s eye. Unfortunately, his senses were dulled—the same earthy scene from earlier filling the air.

Chapter 7. Escape

Stabbing another zombie through the temple, Abe tried to calculate a rough idea of the position below the hanging crate.

He glanced back over his shoulder. The pile of zombies that had formed...

Chapter 6. Trapdoor

Putrid stench of rot hit his nose the moment he landed on the frozen, once-muddy ground.

The darkness faded—shifting to his hazy, gray vision.

“It stinks of death,” Abe stammered,...

Chapter 5. Partners

Back in his cell, Abe leaned against the wall, face down. It seemed he needed to further prove himself until he was gifted a room in the manor.

Stomping into the kennels, Elissa sighed deeply...

Chapter 4. Growth

“Stop looking at me like that, fledgling,” Elissa snapped. “You’re still weak. I could hold you down with one hand, and pick you apart with the other.”

Warily, Abe eyed her—strugg...

Chapter 2.3

Grunting, the ghoul that had been thrown against the wall tremored as it tried to climb atop its broken limbs, only to fall back into the water.

Twisting its head to the left, it eyed the cor...

Chapter 2.2

Sniffing the air, Abe’s senses pulsed. There were six remaining. He was certain.

Their scents distinguished them. Each with a unique tinge that set them apart. The air, how it curried the s...

Chapter 2.1

His eyes rested on the bloodied ghoul’s skull, a blackish ichor oozing and bubbling around the bone protruding from the side of its head. It was only inches from his face.

Abe expected disg...

Chapter 2. Sewers

A musky, damp scent of mold and stagnant water assaulted Abe’s senses as he was led down the stone stairs to the sewers—Elissa leading, and Ricky trailing.

Torches dimply lit the room bel...

Chapter 1. Death

Pulling at his collar, Abe straightened. Every time he looked at the silver-haired beauty sitting across from him, he struggled to keep his thoughts straight.

“So,” he stammered, eyes dar...

Break

Hi Everyone, 

As you've likely noticed I've taken a break from writing Caster V Caster. Sorry about this.

I'm not certain when I will get back to it. My heart hasn't been into it, ...

47. Commander of dregs

“Raise a toast to Earon,” Fane echoed throughout the Withering Vine, or rather, what was left of it. One side of the building had collapsed during the fighting, with rocky rubble fro...

46. Witchdoctor whisperer

Reverberations shook the underground passage, throwing Earon off-balance as he caught himself from falling with a quickly placed step.

They were getting stronger now.

He was ...

45. Serpents

The enemy clashed against the inner walls. But without their siege weapons, their attacks quickly faltered and fell back. That wouldn’t last long, as they would bring them through the ...

44. War on the Wall

Whatever excitement Earon had managed to rally in troops of the outer wall, it quickly vanished as the crowds of dwarves below gathered.

Volleys of arrows sprayed against their wal...

43. Crossing the divide

“You sure she’s still here?” Yaslin said as they approached the inn.

“Who knows? All I can say is I saw her head in there when she returned to town.”

“For your ef...

World Map

Still a work in progress, but it gives you something to visualize the world.

42. Darkening skies

“Do you swear your soul internal to my slavery?”

“Yes, my king,” bowed the messy-haired dwarf in scruffy robes.

“Then so be it, raise your head serpent whisper, for you are my...

41. Besieged

Dashing between eaves Lexi made her way toward the temple of Arks, as if they might provide some protection if she got unlike and became victim to one of the hurling boulders that near constantly f...

40. The defence of Caedstad

Secluded to a corner at the edge of the wall, Earon kept to himself. He didn’t feel like a defender, not like the other war-hardened soldiers nearby; and it was clear they didn’t see him that w...

39. Under siege

Fane and Earon embraced in an awkward hug. It wasn’t that they didn’t get along, but they weren’t exactly good friends or anything.

“Where’s Iliana and Dordan?” Earon asked as the...

38. Dawn of a new Warlock

Earon spread out his arms, catching himself as dizziness took over. He was panting, hard.

“Earon, are you okay?” Lexi called out as she dashed over from the fire, where she had sat, along...

37. Crossing the Clain

Days went by with little change as they marched across the arid landscape of the Clain. There had been a few small skirmishes with monsters, but nothing of much consequence. Wherever the beasts fro...

36. The caravan

“I don’t like those guys, not one bit.” Lexi huffed as she dropped herself beside Earon, who sat atop a knee-height ledge beside the merchant square.

“We’re not trying to make frien...

35. Healing and figuring things out

“Stop it, stay still!” Lexi scolded as Earon’s leg instinctively pulled away as she brought the cloth smeared in healing salves to it.

Not only was the giant wound in Earon’s leg agon...
