Graveyards and relocation

Image
Hi Everyone, This is a really thrilling tale about a relocated graveyard that may interest you. According to the online Oxford Dictionary, a graveyard is a burial ground near a church. A sacred place, where we lay our dead once they have passed (hallowed ground). Rituals and ceremonies are usually held in graveyards when someone passes on. The dead are lowered into the grave amidst cries, and blessing for the afterlife. Dirt is thrown onto the coffins by family, and the holes are filled by duteous groundsman once the service is over. It is hoped the souls of the dead move swiftly to the afterlife.  Religious leaders teach, that if someone led a good life, their soul will pass through the pearly gates of heaven. Sinners on the other hand, are destined for the chambers of hell. Hindu’s have a varied belief. They believe the souls of the dead are sometimes reincarnated into a new bodies, to settle karmic debts. Or if all debts are settled, the souls join God and are forever

Chapter Eleven: The Chronicle of Chemmis: Awake

Chapter Eleven Lindy Venzu Village – Monday 0540 The wind wiped the hair from my face as I ran to Maxwell’s house. I had so many questions after the trials in the Magic Cave, and I had even more to tell. I knew where the children were. The Mount of Seth was just a three days ride from our village. Maybe, we could make it in two days, if we didn’t stop too long along the way. Something in the magic had unlocked my powers, I was sure of it now. My mind felt clearer, as I raced past Dillon’s house and made a bee-line for the pathway between two streets.  It was as if I had a head cold before and did not know it. Jumping over a shiny red ball in the park, I laughed, I could finally stick it to Molly Melody at school who had called me ‘Dementia Lindy’ for the past year because I could not remember my visions. The words of the Lamassu and Undine still bothered me a little, but I did not belive what they said. The creatures in the cave we there to trick us, it was all part of the

Chapter Ten: The Chronicles of Chemmis: Awake

Chapter Ten Stone Venzu Village – Monday 0600 The trip to the Witch’s Village was quick on horse back. We moved swiftly via a portal near the Moat of Castle Five Rock. Still, I felt as if my life was moving in slow motion, like in a human horror movie. I was stuck in the scene just before the victim meets the killer. You check everything and it all seems in order, but still there is a sense that you missed something important. I had that feeling now. As if we were going in the wrong direction, or asking the wrong questions. My melancholy could be related to the fact that I did not sleep much after my visit to the Mellow Marsh. On returning to the castle, I was exhausted but sleep would not come. I wandered the halls and met my best friend Alex who was on patrol. She told me what I had missed the day before. The elders had decided a Finders Task Force would be formed, with members from all clans on Chemmis. Faeries, Witches, Magi-pi, Seior and Neche would work together to fin

Chapter Nine : The Chronicles of Chemmis: Awake

Hi Everyone, here is Chapter Nine of Awake: Chapter Nine Lindy Venzu Village – Monday 0530 All time stands still in the Magic Cave, but that did not mean you could not die. The Lamassu that bored down on me was proof of how unprepared I was for this test, and the mission to come. ‘Why are you here?’ growled the creature as it crushed my chest. Bucking, I tried to dislodge the creature but it was too heavy. Searching for my bag, I saw it a few feet away and cursed myself. I tried to reach for my dagger but the beast bit my hand. and I quickly drew it back. ‘I am a student witching and this is my final test,’ I gasped. The lamassu, roared with laughter and moved off me. Rubbing at my chest, I tried to ease the pain of my aching ribs.The creature stalked around me grinning at my pain. Drawing out my dagger I pointed it at my attacker and squatted ready for action. ‘You are not ready to graduate as a witch,’ it declared. Though these words echoed my feeling

The Chronicles of Chemmis: Awake: Chapter Eight

CHAPTER EIGHT STONE Vira-na-Nog Province  1800 Sunday My lungs burned as I took a deep breath. Odd, I didn’t think you were suppose to feel pain when you were dead. So, the obvious answer was I was still alive because someone saved me. My eyelids felt as heavy as lead, and I could only opened them a fraction. Everything was black and against my own accord, my eyes fell shut again. Panicking, I touched my face and felt something wet and cold, over my forehead and eyes. ‘Don’t take it off unless you want to be blind,’ a sweet female voice said. That voice sounded young, not the croaky voice of the Willow Witch that I remembered. ‘Where am I?’ I asked. I felt a movement near me. ‘In a safe place,’ she said. I remembered falling into the marsh and thinking there was no way, I was surviving this, but here I am. Where that was I did not know exactly, but I was alive. ‘You saved me from the Marsh?’ It was more of an admission than a question. ‘Yes,’ she said, and I
