Trevor and Illayah hurried down on the stairs. They were very late to their channeling class. And to make matters worse this was to be their last class. They rushed through the many corridors and stairs that formed the obstacles to their class room. A month’s stay at the academy didn’t make it any easy for Illayah to navigate the Academy. They arrived in time to see that the class has started. They entered the class discreetly and made themselves comfortable on the carpet.

Chapter 3
Cold wind tugged at Illayah’s cloak as he rode in the faint light of the dawn. It had been a long and hard journey from the keep as they maintained a good speed in the biting cold. Illayah was surprised at the fact that the carts were able to maintain speed without any apparent discomfort. The king’s path was wide and intact helping the convoy in its cause. The convoy was passing through a wood and the thick foliage blocked most of the morning light making the path darker. Illayah wasn’t bothered about any ambush as he knew the company he traveled with was more than a match for any bandit group that dared to attack them

Dark woods surrounded Illayah on his way to the keep. The paths lead him to the king’s road, using which, he could go to the capital or any other city in Anadriel. But his destination was nearer than any other option. The village keep was built during the Great War following the Banishment. The keep was built incorporating a natural rock formation along the stream. It was one of the few structures in Sundale, which has been built with stone. It was lasted used by the villagers several decades back when werewolves raided the villages. A party of paladins and wizards finally ended the menace.

It was one of those brilliant mornings that Sundale was experiencing for last few weeks, not that anyone was complaining. In fact life in Sundale was as laidback as anyone can imagine. Sundale was primarily a large village, a very self-sufficient village. The people were friendly and humble. They had never a reason to be otherwise. They never faced any threat from outsiders or faced any hardships. The village itself was set among foothills and woods.

Admin Note: As promised, our budding novelist has sent in a teaser from a novel that he is writing. He kindly suggested that I edit it before publishing. It is a fantasy and promises to be as exciting as Lord of the Rings, as magical as Harry Potter and has elements of Star Wars in it. Read on and leave your feedback in the forums for the benefit of the author...
Cold wind howled around Rakthabiz, as he made his way up the mountain. He was in a hurry. He remembered the many lectures he listened to in the academy, about the importance of correct time in a magical ritual. His target was on top of the ancient mountain and he was apprehensive about the ritual he was going to perform. It had not been performed in the last thousand years.
