A Baptism in Fire

Nearly five years prior, "God" gave the world magic. Overnight, the power balance the world had held for nearly two centuries crumbled. Each race now possessing a different form of magic struggles to find their place in the world as countries begin to fall. On top of that, a mysterious race who call themselves the Chosen emerge and begin to cleanse the world with their gift of fire. They claim "God" has given them the sole purpose of eradicating the magic-less human race and any who stand in their way of doing so. Aeric Anglest is the second human prince of the last remaining human kingdom in the world and is anything but normal. Aeric disappeared from the known world for nearly five years following in his older brother's footsteps who still hasn't been found. However, after a long and traumatizing journey with his best friend, Aeric has returned as a shell of his former self. He no longer has the right to his own existence as he struggles to live through the onslaught of voices that try to take control of his body. He's already been broken once, and it was his best friend that gave him comfort enough to keep his sanity. Now that she's walked out of his life, Aeric realizes that he's on the verge of breaking down again. But with the world becoming engulfed in war, he can do nothing but push forward against the Chosen, a familiar enemy. Also, I write really long chapters instead of regular uploads with shorter ones. Sorry :)
