Blessed (31 page)
Authors: David Michael
Up until her twenty first birthday, she had lead the life that most people only dream of: Loving parents, all the popularity she could ever ask for, the best best friend in the whole world, and a bright future ahead of her.
Chaos had had plans very different from those that had been made for her by those who loved her.
Life had been derailed by the freight train that most people call Fate and she had become the person that the world needed. The person she had been born to become. The person she had always secretly wanted to be.
As she carried the last box passed the “For Sale” sign to the truck parked at the curb, she took a moment to remember those that she had loved in that old life. Her parents, her best friend, her bishop, and even her dog. All lost to her now. While she would miss her parents and best friend dearly, she had gained two grandmothers with some pretty cool powers of their own, and Kaiser. The human Kaiser. The Kaiser that loved her, and held her, and kissed her in just the way she needed to be kissed at just the moment she needed it most.
She still hadn’t told him about her dream that she’d had about him so many months ago and she wasn’t sure that she ever would. It was her little secret and she kind of liked it that way.
Maybe one day after they were married, she’d make him reenact it for her.
For now it was time for her to go out into the world and find some allies. It was time to take the war to the root of the problem. As long as Good and Evil existed, their war would continue to destroy families and ruin lives. It was time for mankind to take themselves out of the equation.
It was time for them to find their peace.
We are the Amanuenses, neutral entities charged with one purpose, to be scribes of Fate. We close this chapter of the Chronicle with the scales tipped in the favor of Good. Chaos’ destruction caused a shift in the balance and the Light now has the upper hand.
Ardra’s story is far from over, but for now, it is time for our next hero to face the trials and tribulations of righting a cosmic wrong. Coming into his power shrouded in darkness and despair, this new challenger to the balance must arise and follow the winding path Fate has placed him on.
A new kind of threat is preparing to fall upon their race like a hungry lion, powerful and ready to do what it must to survive.
