Taming Death.

Book 2 is underway! In the fractured elven realm of Elysium, five clans: High, Sun, Dark, Moon, and Forest elves. They live divided by centuries old prejudice and scars from a devastating civil war. Once united, the clans now linger in distrust, their lands and cultures isolated. As a dark and ancient evil begins to stir, threatening both Etherworld, the realm of the living, and Netherworld, the land of the dead, the fragile balance between life and death is on the brink of collapse. To prevent the realm’s descent into chaos, an unprecedented marriage is arranged between the two most powerful clans. Orion, the first female high elf born in over a millennium and the physical embodiment of Nether, the god of death, is forced to wed Theo, the fiery sun elf prince tied to Ether, the god of life. Their union is a political maneuver to bridge the divide between their peoples, but it quickly becomes clear that their destiny is far greater than a mere treaty. Together, they are thrust into the heart of a prophecy that foretells the unification or destruction of Elysium. As unrest brews among the clans, Orion and Theo embark on a perilous journey to unite the elves against the rising darkness. Their path takes them through glittering courts, ancient ruins, and shadowed forests as they unravel the secrets of the gods who created their world. Along the way, they recruit allies from each of the clans and face enemies who would see their union and the realm destroyed. Confronting their own fears, the weight of their lineage, and the volatile magic they wield, Orion and Theo must not only learn to trust each other but also embrace the duality of their powers, life and death, to stand against an unimaginable evil. This sweeping epic unfolds against a backdrop of high stakes and rich world-building. Political intrigue, action-packed battles, and a desperate struggle for unity drive the story forward as the clans grapple with their shared history and the choices that will determine their future. The fate of Elysium hangs in the balance as Orion and Theo fight to bridge a chasm forged by war, all while standing at the precipice of an apocalypse that could consume both If you want images of the characters check out the discord!

traitors

"F*ck you! You're the traitor! You betrayed us." The first man yelled.

"You sold us out to the people who almost ruined our clan!" Said the second man "Her and her family will pay for their sins!"

"Your no prince of mine, bastard!" Yelled the first man before he lunged at me with a wild swing, I dodged, countering with an uppercut to the ribs. As the second man tried to grab me from behind, I spun and elbowed his jaw, sending him flying backward.

The first man quickly drawing a knife and slashing at my stomach "you're f*cking dead traitor!"

I just barely dodged, feeling the blade slice

through my shirt. Using the momentum of my dodge, I grabbed the attacker's wrist, twisted it sharply, and forced the knife into his ribs. The first man collapsing with a pained grunt.

The second man, regained his balance,

charged again, this time with a broken bat in hand. I run at him head-on, sidestepping at the last moment and tripping him with a well-placed foot. As the man stumbled, I used his own bat giving him the final blow to the back of his head, he went limp and became unconscious.

"Son of a b*tch, I'll deal with you two later."

Breathing heavily, I rush over to Orion. The back of her head leaving warm blood on my fingers.

"F*ck. Little Bunny, you're bleeding."

Just then her brothers and Carter show

up with another man in tow.

"Where the f*ck have you been? Who's that?" yelling at them.

"Woah man we came here as soon as Carter found us." Oleander replied.

"This is Julian Carter found him on the way to us." Arragon said.

"He's the brains apparently, the innkeeper just let them know when she left and sent her down that path." Carter confirmed my suspicions

"Well f*ck, someone get a healer!"

"You, go get a healer, and you go get the innkeeper and his wife." Carter giving directions one of to the soldiers.

"The innkeepers wife isn't the traitor so leave her be"

"But bring those other treacherous

f*cks here."

"We're gonna take her to her room, come see us when you're done." Oleander said.

"Should i come get you after the healers done?" Arragon asked.

Just then the soldiers brought in the innkeeper. Unconscious.

"No i have things to do here for i come back up to see her." I know they could feel the anger and disgust coming from my tone and probably knew I was going to do something that will upset her.

I waited until they left to start.

"Carter, drag them over and line them up on the walls, tie their hands and legs together."

"I'm going to show my people what happens when they touch what's mine and remind them what we do to traitors here in the Sun Clan."

Carter does as he's told and drags their limp unconscious bleeding bodies to the wall. He binds their hands and feet.

Carter goes and grabs a bucket of water and throws it on the men waking the up.

"Hey man what the f*ck?" Said Julian.

"WelL look whose waking up?" Carter said with a smirk. His arms crossed leaning to one side a bit.

Kicking the second mans leg. He was still out from the bat swing. "Wake the f*ck up you ugly piece of shit."

Now with all the men awake.

"Who planned this?"

Everyone remained silent.

Julian spitting at me. "I did f*cking traitor doesn't deserve to call himself our prince.

I punch him in the mouth.

"Do you know what I do to people who touch what's mine?"

I grab Julian by his bindings on his feet to the center before the other three men. And I unsheathe my sword and with one swift swing I cut both his hands clean off.

I cast him to the side while he screams and cries. "You took my f*cking hands. You took my f*cking hands"

"Yeah, and I'm gonna take all of your hands for touching what mine and then after I'm going to drag your bodies to the town hall and cut your fucking heads off for treason, you grimy son of a b*tch."

The other men now begging "No please' 'don't take my hands' 'please your majesty' " pleading did nothing one by one I cut their hands off. Each cry getting more desperate.

"Would you f*cking give mercy on her? On your queen"

Screaming and crying I order the soldiers to drag them out to the town hall. A trail of blood leaving the barn they squirmed and pleaded.

"And you know what we do to traitors? We take their heads and put them on spikes" Carter said with a devious smile.

In front of the town hall, I walked in and brought the chief outside. Once i was back outside a crowd had gathered; hearing the cries and pleas of the men who have been sentenced to a traitors death.

"These men before you are tried with treason and are sentenced to death by decapitation.

"Their crime was attacking and kidnapping the High Elves Clan Princess, my wife and your future queen.

"I took their hands because they thought they could touch what is mine.

"I will take their heads for harming their queen."

I take my sword and swing it down on Julians headfirst. The three men now screaming in horror. The innkeeper Isaak pissed his pants. "You're pathetic."

Cutting off his head. The last two men were cut by Carter.

"Put their heads on spikes and line the town hall with them, let this be a reminder of what we do with traitors." I growled at the crowd loudly. Watching the innkeeper's wife drop to her knees sobbing.

Leaving them behind I rush into the inn to get Orion.

I get to our room, still covered in blood, I should probably take a shower soon. She was still unconscious lying down in bed.

"So why is she still unconscious?"

"She was hit real hard and probably has a concussion, so she might sleep for a bit. But she's okay." Answered Arragon.

I walk over and kiss her forehead. Rubbing stray hair from her face.

"I'm in dire need of a shower. I'm covered in the blood of traitors."
