Skaði - Part 2: The Age of Gods

While I lie dying memories flash before my eyes... not all are my own.

Warning there are off screen rapes and sexual slavery in this part. I’ve tried to keep them as non-threatening as possible while retaining their purpose in the text. But you have been warned.

(Some of the memories described in later parts of this chapter seem to switch tense/awareness, this is intentional and intended to show that the narrator and his host are bonding.)

Heaven's Light 6: Hope's Light (Part 3)

Hope's Light (Part Three)

Book Six of Heaven's Light

By Erisian

 

The Sefer Raziel, also known as the Book of Secrets, remains elusive and dangerous - especially if discovered by the wrong hands. Having chased after this legendary tome back to the banished realms Below, Jordan plunges further into Murder and Mystery, as Hell is ever filled with both.

Yet her true quest searches for far more, with a heart demanding action to save those she before had accidentally left behind, and to bring the Light of hope to those whom Fate has abandoned entire. Hell’s politics, naturally, threaten complications beyond anything imagined - even in the intricate tabletop games once played by a former database developer who had responsibilities for only house and cat.

But having journeyed through the flames of Revelations and Heaven’s history, she is that simple engineer no longer.

And the full Promise within her Name shall not be denied.

The Light Between (Part 8)

Book Five of Heaven's Light

By Erisian

 

Earth. Deep blue skies filled with clouds and sun.

Returned from the desolation and horrors of Hell, Jordan finds herself again surrounded by friends, kitty, and a peaceful campus with idle moments seemingly to spare.

Yet relaxation and inner peace remain elusive, as unanswered questions flit across thought and dream. After all that she has endured a quiet life as a simple school student feels like a mighty jest - one with a waiting and deadly punchline.

For time, even for angels resurrected in the light, does not so easily stand still.

 

 

Note: It is highly recommended to have read the previous four books before reading this one! It all starts at the link below, thanks!

I was nervous. I'll admit that. Maybe even a little bit frightened. This was my first time breaking the law, well breaking the law with intent. If everything went right and according to plan I'd be a criminal, of the international variety. It sounds impressive doesn’t it?

“... and that's the story.” I babbled looking at three women in front of me, the fourth person was still behind me holding a knife to my throat. However I was now inside the villa and not much had changed in the main room since I was last here, the entertainment centre was newer and larger, oh and someone had put down some canvas that I was standing on. Which explained why I had told my story so fast and in such a high pitched voice that likely all the dogs nearby had run for the hills.

I had alot to think about, in a short time I had been kidnapped, become a mutant, died at least three times, changed sex, my mother had been killed and I relived it in her head or my head, been told I was a prisoner on a submarine, the only person who seems to have any redeeming qualities is one of my kidnappers, oh and apparently I smell.

When people talk about Karedonia depending on who they are various images pop up in your head. Massive engineering project and Wonder of the Modern Age, shining example of how a supervillain can turn over a new leaf, hellhole of human rights abuses, the place to do cutting edge research, newest resort hot spot in the world, wretched hive of scum and villainy, the money laundering capital of the world (a fact much in dispute among other tax havens), pioneer in deep earth mining, a brave social experiment...etc etc. Basically Karedonia is a bit of everything to everyone. What they don't talk about is how to find it. Most people don't need to worry about that bit, they just board a plane and it's the pilot's problem, or a boat and it's the captain's problem, or have their minions take care of it. You get the idea.

Thinking about things from the benefit of hindsight I'm realizing the thing is I don't know how my story begins, with Mom's long career in supervillainy, or with me and my sister, or when I was attacked?

The day had started badly for a lot of people. It wasn't getting better.

A few twists and turns led to a standard interview/interrogation room in a distant way I noticed the smell of new paint and bleach. My hand cuffs were locked to the table and someone did something to the collar device that I guessed was affecting my powers. The room kinda faded out a bit as I just grew more tired, all I wanted was to be left alone, why doesn't this stop, I just want it to stop.

People talk about having choices all the time, or doing the 'right thing', I keep trying not to go off on their pointy little heads, looking back on it all I never really had a choice until all my choices had been made for me. I'm pretty much over that now but I still find myself thinking about that in the oddest times, like now.
