The Adventures of Henry Farthingale

Dr Henry Farthingale was due for a break from his language studies at Camford University. His friend and mentor Sir Nicholas Spenser suggested he spent his sabbatical exploring the bird language of the tribes in the jungle at the end of the river. He was intrigued when the little steamboat arrived to find a thriving town not marked on any maps. He was greeted by Savarin, the bank master, and a marching band, dressed in ragged uniforms, which started playing a medley of national anthems as they led him in a procession up the hill to a half-ruined British residence, abandoned years before.

Henry was surprised to find a hot English meal awaiting him in the residence dining room, and later to discover that a bed had been made up in another room. His suitcase of clothes had been neatly unpacked and folded into a small lowboy. What was going on?

Henry did not believe in fairy stories, but was patient enough to accept, learn and adapt to his new environment. His adventures included love and marriage, the bird trade, a hurricane, bank notes, a witch doctor, wooden carvings, costumes, food, and the devil. Always in the background was the mysterious Sir Nicholas Spenser and the machinations of Camford University.

The Unknown Battles That Lie Beyond the Grave

The red-hot saucy chatter was that on the day Manku rescued Joanna from the sewer hole, she wasn’t wearing any knickers. It was therefore alleged the four men got more than they bargained for during the rescue mission. Trump suddenly woke up as though from a slumber. He was no longer in the rough and choppy waters. He soon realised that his body was different and that he wasn’t alone. As he stood there in awe and disbelief, suddenly, he was surrounded by seven individuals adorned in bodies similar to his. He responded that for his first mission, he was inclined to pick Combat Ghosts from one class only, from the class of the dead evil men and women. It was just the beginning. He was in for a rude shock!

The Umbra Wars

If you had the pleasure of meeting Martha right this minute, you would think that she is a wonderful little old lady with an infectious smile and a warm heart. And you would be right in thinking that too. But what if I told you that this is not all she is, and that her vocation has been born from a necessity? One deeply rooted in the stubborn refusal of us humans to just be better! What if she tirelessly fights the umbra on your behalf to keep the consciousness of the world tipped in the favour of the Lumna? What if I told you that she is the most powerful Archimage this world has ever seen? And that she regularly wields her considerable power to manipulate the Supreme Elementals. Or that she faces the nefarious Quells to conquer their umbra through the restorative qualities of love and forgiveness. What if she works with the Illuminaries, and has her very own Luminant to help her fight these battles? What if she needs apprentices to carry on this most noble of professions here on earth? If you knew that you could change your thoughts, words or actions to significantly contribute to her efforts, what would you do differently today?

The Stone of Athelas

Gothrin was not yet ten when he was made aware that he was no ordinary child, but the prophesied Redeemer, a sorcerer who one day would destroy the necromancer Kotor.

Kotor had risen once more to destroy the land and enslave all the races, and all that stands in his way is a young man, uncertain of his powers, and uncertain how to use the magic staff endowed upon him by the prophecy.

Forced to flee from Kotor’s wraiths through storm and flood, he loses Odra’s magic staff in the flooded canyon. Alone and with no idea what to do next, Gothrin finally stumbles across an imp-like race, who help to find the staff and fight off a wraith determined to take possession of it. These people point the way to where he will find what he seeks, the guardian of the relic made from the Stone of Athelas.

Chased by bands of renegades and Kotor’s wraiths, Gothrin and his new companion Bellatrix finally reach the town and the guardian of the ring. Bonded to the staff during a ceremony, the ring endows it with immense magic, a weapon worthy to challenge the necromancer.

Still hounded by Kotor’s minions, Gothrin and his companions continue the quest. Travelling over hill and dale, through moorland and forest, they are continually confronted by one crisis after another until they finally reach their objective the Land of Nath, where Gothrin finally overcomes his doubts and finds the allies to help him defeat the necromancer.

The Secret of a Seminarian

Sergio was born into a traditional Christian family in the ’80s. His mother, a devout Catholic, was always his protection; she always loved and protected him, and his father was the man he always wanted to become in the future and his inspiration.

Little by little, the love that his mother had for him was changing; Sergio noticed his mother was more distant and the sweet words of affection that she had said before turned into frightened looks. All the while his father harassed him more and more, reaching the point of several times attacking him in the heat of emotion.
