Surrender
The Ferryman + The Flame #1

Published: October 2nd, 2012 by Createspace
How far would you go to save everything you ever loved?
Kaliel was warned about her love for the Ferryman. One day
he will marry the land and leave Avristar forever. She doesn't listen, and
because of what she is-- a Flame-- one of nine apocalyptic weapons, she sparks
a war. In a desperate attempt to save her home and her love, Kaliel tries to
awaken Avred, not knowing she may have to make the ultimate sacrifice.
She looked back at Mallorn. “What is Avred?” Desaunius never
told her, but she was clear that in their darkest hour, he had been the only
thing that pushed the Valtanyana back.
Mallorn creased his brow and hung his head. “He is the male spirit of the land.”
Kaliel let her eyes whisper with hints of anger as she met his blue ones. “What is he?” she asked more earnestly, knowing the answer was something that scared all of the elders in Avristar.
Mallorn ran his hand along Umber’s neck. “A volcano.”
Kaliel gasped. Spasms raked over her flesh. She could face the foe or face the volcano. She could hide and let Crestaos rip Avristar apart. She could let Krishani face him and die. She felt dizzy with grief. “Will he help?”
“The Shee will tell you that. I don’t know.”
She frowned. “Why not?”
Mallorn dropped his hand and met her gaze. He tried to smooth out the wrinkles in his forehead. “The Shee speak for Avred, the way the Gatekeeper speaks for Avristar.”
Kaliel rubbed her arms at the mention of the Gatekeeper. There was nothing she feared more than the voice of Avristar. Even the Valtanyana ran a close second. “I can’t ask Avristar for help.”
Mallorn didn’t say anything.
“Will you speak to them?”
He shook his head and took her hands in his. “They need to hear it from you.”
Revelation came over her as he moved away and mounted the horse. She was all alone. This was something she would have to do, no one else. No help. No support. No anything.
