Desert Rose Chapter 9 Attack on The King

Deneve woke up to Sirare shaking her. “Deneve, you were screaming in your sleep. Are you okay?” Deneve sighed, “My apologies, it happens sometimes. I don’t remember what causes it. But thank you.” Sirare tilted his head as he studied her. “I’ll stay with you for a while.” “You don’t have,” She started to say.…

Desert Rose Chapter 2 Awake

Deneve opened her eyes. Confused, she glanced around the room and saw an old mage sitting in a chair at the side of the bed. He must have fallen asleep while reading. His open book was pressed against his torso as he slept. She could see the kitchen area on the other side of the…

Desert Rose Chapter 1 Alive

Quick Disclaimer – I own none of the images or characters presented in this story. I’m just a fan of the game. Chapter 1 Nothing else mattered except how much power he could command. They scoffed at his genius? He would prove it to them. That was how he found himself confined to a distorted…
