    by Emily White At the Village, Neena, with a facade of warmth, moved around the cozy little house, pretending to organize the scattered utensils and clean the surfaces that didn't need cleaning. Kael and William, Hecor's two boys, looked up at her with curiosity, eager to assist in any way they could. She was very attentive to carrying out the responsibility Hector had given to her.

    by Emily White Far from the royal entourage and deep within the forest, Hector and his crew rode stealthily towards the minister's mansion they planned to rob. The road map they had meticulously planned out was their guide through the dense woods. Hector asked everyone in his whispering voice, "Keep your eyes sharp and your wits sharper, lads. We've got a job to do." The crew nodded in agreement, their faces masked by shadows, determined to complete their mission. As they approached the minister's wealthy…

    by Emily White The sun had barely begun to peek over the horizon as Kael and William stirred in their beds. Their father, Hector, had left early that morning for his job, and now the two brothers were the only ones in the house. Kael yawned and rubbed his eyes, sitting up in his bed. "Will, wake up," he whispered to his younger brother, gently shaking his shoulder. William groaned and slowly opened his eyes. "What's up, Kael?" he mumbled, still half-asleep. "Dad's gone to work, so it's just us today," Kael…

    by Emily White The moonlight cast a gentle glow upon the quiet village as Hector made his way to Neena's house. He walked through the door of his humble home, leaving his two sleeping sons behind. As he strolled down the dimly lit streets, his thoughts turned to the evening ahead as he had a few questions to ask Neena and a little favour to ask her. When he reached Neena's house, he paused for a moment, taking in a deep breath to calm his anxiousness. He raised his hand and gently knocked on her door, the soft sound…

    by Emily White In the underground headquarters, Hector, Jack, and their trusted crew gathered around the large table strewn with maps and plans. The dimly lit chamber buzzed with anticipation as the skilled thieves began to weave their audacious scheme. Hector leaned over the table, tracing his fingers over the map of the aristocrat's wealthy mansion. His voice was low and determined as he addressed the group. "Listen up, everyone. We've been given an opportunity we cannot afford to squander. The king's impending…
  • Chapter 11 — The Sword and Heir of Shadows Cover
    by Emily White After the conversation with Tom, Hector and Jack made their way through a maze of narrow passageways to their hidden chambers. The flickering glow of lanterns cast dancing shadows on the uneven stone walls. This chamber was just below the bar and it is the same reason why this bar was a common meetup place for their crew. The underground world was a hidden realm beneath the bustling town, known only to those who traversed its hidden pathways. The walls were rough-hewn, and the air was cool and damp,…

    by Emily White As Hector made his way to the nearby town riding on Ustas's back, he couldn't help but have a good chuckle about the King's unusual decision to visit their village, and an idea came to his mind. "Well, ain't this a twist in the tale," he muttered to himself. "Heyh-ya" Hector yelled with a mischievous glint in his eyes and kicked Ustas lightly and his fellow mate sped up on his run towards town. ...................................................................... In the heart of the small town,…

    by Emily White The next morning, as the first rays of the sun gently kissed the horizon, Hector was awakened by the delightful giggles and excited chatter of his two sons, Kael and William. They clambered onto his bed with boundless energy, their little feet scrambling up the blankets and onto their father's chest. "Daddddyyy...!!!" They exclaimed Hector, was baffled, as he was still not awake and had his eyelids closed, but now they were wide open. Whereas Kael and William, with big bright eyes and tousled…
