Morale: Cherish what you have now , before it teaches you to cherish what you had.

3rd chapter - The Harvest Envy



Chapter 3 - The Harvest Envy
For many centuries the emerald necklace had been passed down as an heirloom to the next generation. The emerald itself possessed only two abilities. One of its abilities was bestowing eternal beauty while the other remained unknown. However there is a saying regarding the other ability and I quote;” the calamities will rise again if the curse of green ever falls on the faces of the human race.

In Forenia, the most glorious city in the world lived a woman named Teal. She was well-known as one of the beautiful women in Forenia. Even though she was nearing her sixties, she looked barely older than one-third of it. Her girlish figure, seductive eyes and blond hair had many men begging her for marriage. However, what she treasured most was her emerald necklace that hung over her delicate neck.

Above Teal in rank and authority, stood her royal highness, Mero, step mother of Teal’s late mother. Mero was almost an immortal herself. She was the oldest, wisest and the most beautiful woman in Forenia . Teal had always been jealous of her. In order to be the center of attraction, her evil thoughts grew within her heart.

During the ceremony of the ‘’harvest eclipse “which was also known as the “youthful rain”, the rain served as a light in the darkness ,its very presence melted away one’s fatigue and enhanced one’s beauty and life. However the droplets only landed on a small portion of the land. In addition, only Mero, the wisest, knew the ritual. Thus, Teal had planned to disrupt it.

As the ritual began, cunning Teal waited in anticipation. Mero drew a circle in the air. Silver light accented the trace of her finger. The circle was perfect it looked like it had cut into the very atmosphere all on its own. Mero muttered enchantments and the circle turned blue and landed below her feet. Soon ripples of energy spiraled down from the sky and it began to rain on her. In that moment, Teal forced her way into the magic circle and caused a great damage to Mero. Blood trickled down the fallen Mero’s face, as she witnessed the pure harvest eclipse transform into an unholy alliance of all evil.

As the emerald absorbed the rain, it revealed its true form – the “orb of Envy “. Soon, the green light contaminated her blessed blood.

Mero tried to stop the ritual but in vain. It was too powerful. The suction grew intense. Teal screamed in agony as the very last piece of her soul was taken away. Just when Mero thought it had finally come to an end, a familiar voice whispered into her ears: “If I shall perish, we shall go together.” The orb fulfilled its owner’s last wish and brought forth a resultant catastrophic explosion which shattered the earth and engulfed the air.

After the shock from the explosion, the sea filled up the spaces of land. Nearly ninety-nine percent of Forenia had been destroyed, along with Mero.

Till date, the orb stands still on that very small portion of Forenia. Waiting , waiting for someone to harvest it again.

Chapter 2 - Lust of love, 1 sentence pitch and morale


Chapter 2 – The Lust of Love
1 sentence pitch:  A lost man soul which had been battle for ages, finally calmed down by a young female priest during a magical conflict which consist of something dear to him.

Morale: Love is the beginning of all knowledge as it could reveal the beauty of one soul.


2nd Chapter - The Lust of Love

Deep in the forest, lay a castle, one that had been long forgotten by people. Many heroes fought and fell in it. However it was also the place where a young girl understood the word “love”.

Amber, once a ruler of the world. She had secretly implanted a piece of her magic fragment within the castle before her death. The magic fragment came in the form of an orb named “Lust” which been concealed within one of her faithful servant, Uru. Over the past decades people of all races- elves, ogres, human, siren everything imaginable tried to obtain his power. However they were no match for the likes of Uru.

Uru was a dark priest who had pledged his loyalty to Amber, his mistress. His black shrouded figure exuded an intense aura of foreboding and power. He wielded a spiked mace and used witchcraft to terminate his enemies. Due to his indiscriminate killing spree, he soon earned the name, “Death Bringer”.

One night, Mauve, a dark-haired girl clad in the white embroidered robe o f a temple priest came forth to purify Uru. Though she looked far too young to hold such a position , her clear violet eyes seemed to hold much wisdom.

Dead littered the path. The corpse of many great heroes was found on the pathway of the red carpet. During the encounter with Uru, Mauve greeted him with her purification arrow as she knew that if she was to start any later, the chance of winning would be less than half. The arrow quickly divided itself into a hundred spears of light as they made their way through the barrier of Uru. Uru was no fool, he had already seen that coming but yet he had not made any attempt to avoid it . The spear pierced through every single substance of Uru. However, the damage was too minor for him to be afraid of.

Uru made his move; he used his witchcraft which caused Mauve to gape in fear, losing the focus needed to cast spells. As she tried to escape from his grasp. The walk became a jog, the jog turned into a run, the run to a sprint, and the exhilaration of the moment stirred her adrenaline. She summoned forth the mighty goddess, Alfina.

Alfina was the very image of elegance and grace. Uru was shocked when he saw Alfina, she was his wife, and a love that he thought was gone. As Alfina showered herself with luminous light on Uru, her silent tear trickled down. Uru didn’t fight back as he felt happiness in the end. Soon the conflict ended. Mauve glanced down at the couple one last time. Their spiritual bodies, a peaceful look on their faces, vanished in to the thin air.

She grabbed the orb and started her ritual. To her surprise, the orb was something else, something that she  could never bring herself to erase. It contaminated both the power of love and lust as she stared over the throne and wondered who the real victor was.

One sentence pitch and Morale - The inevitable wrath

A girl in search of the power to enhance peace and balance but instead she brought an end to her civilization.


Morale : Think before you do , do not over estimate yourself

1st chapter The Inevitable Wrath

  For many years, princess Scarlet who was the last survivor of Alanrius worked tirelessly to rebuild what she could for her sunder homeland. Leaving behind the "orb of wrath " which was one of the 7 generators that produced infinite magic source in the exchange of human soul.
      
       Back in those days. The sky was azure , the sea was clear and the sakura petals would always rain down to welcome the arrival of a new day in Alanrius. As usual , Scarlet would explore and discover new places from caverns to seas. She was ambitious , cheerful and she was well known as the most kind-hearted lady in Alanrius.

       Deep in the sacred forest named Maluvine , a beautiful melody carried by the wind would echo throughout the woods. Rumor had it that the melody was the sound made by the trees but in reality , no one had ever gone that deep into the forest. Therefore , Scarlet decided to set foot in it. As she went deeper into the wood , the melody gradually grew louder but the air grew thinner , making it harder for her to move on. Just then she saw a red orb that reflected the dull light from the sun to an almost blinding effect.
  
      The second she got hold of the orb , she was oozing with energy which she had never felt before. Her magic power had improved tremendously. She wielded her fire effortlessly even her single breath could clear out the mist which was there for decades. In that moment she was overwhelmed with terrible ecstasy at the content of her magic and thus , fell victim  to the undeniable power. Her soul was consumed by an insatiable hunger as "she" returned to Alanrius.

      Despite the warm welcome from the guards and people on her safe return , Scarlet cast a pool of lava that engulfed half of the land. As she made her way to the palace , buildings were burn down and innocent lives were taken by the vicious lava as it overcame even the water protection from the guard.

       Soon the message reached the ears of Alanrius's queen Minese and king Lucas , Scarlet's parent . They hesitated for awhile but due to the situation Lucas, the wise man , summoned the grizzly bear to join in the fight while Minese brought forth her pet pixie to cease the destruction.

        In the battle , the queen and king created a shield surrounding them and those who still remained. The guards acted as decoys to buy time for the pixie and the bear to make their final move.Pixie fluttered around swiftly with the help of her wings which were similar to that of a dragonfly's and dealt a direct and fatal magical blows on Scarlet. Grizzly bear struck Scarlet's head with immense force. 
    
        To everyone's shock their attempts were futile. It became harder to maintain the shield . The flame burnt down the protectors of Alanrius. As they fell , lifeless , the flame slowly devoured their souls.By the time Scarlet awakened herself from the orb's power,it was too late. Her foolishness had taken away all of her precious things. For the first time in her teenage life , she shed a tear. 

        Ever since that day the orb of wrath has been missing but its melody still echoes in the heart of Scarlet.
