Hi everyone. I ́m a storytelling "young" man who finally got my act together to write the stories that I ́ve harboured for so long. I have already started on three different stories from epic fantasy to urban fantasy. My first story was The Pathfinder. I haven ́t finished it yet:) Besides being a nightowl and a father I ́m also a guitarteacher, teaching at a music college in sweden. I am a former student at MI (GIT) in L.A and I really like to shredd on my guitar for inspiration. I hope that you ́ll enjoy reading my books as much as I do writing them:)

So far.

Andy has been chased by the Representatives of the Orden. When he finally fell asleep beneath two huge blocks of stone he travelled to another place. He met the two siblings Jahs and Manda. They gave him a leather pouch that contained something called the shrine. He awoke from his dream and encountered Alain the elf. The elf had promised to deliver Andy to The Four. Somehow Andy managed to break the spell and while trying to flee from the elf he instead met Karr. Karr almost managed to capture the boy with his magical green gaze but once again, Andy was able to break free and escape. After witnessing the amount of magic that the boy held, Alain was struck by the belief that Andy is Akhisha; the Pathfinder of magic.

Erax the Fire-Elemental captured a fleeing Andy who in an attempt to escape entered the astral dimension and leaving his earthbound body behind. Alain who witnessed the event entered the astral to communicate with the boy.

Hamis, one of the Representants of the Orden with a magical ability to steal magic from others and in return gain the specific magic from his victim, touched Andy’s body and gained some of the boys magic power.

Andy managed to find a way to communicate with Hamis and found, in him, an ally to help him escape from the rest of the hunters. Andy told Hamis that Erman was a Darkmagician, one of The Four, a secret that Alain had told him. Before Hamis could come up with a plan to make their escape Erman made an attempt to bring Karr over to his masters’ side. The mighty Sohrs. A battle broke out where Erman disappeared and the others manage to escape thanks to Hamis and Andy.

Erax thought that he killed the boy once and for all before he joined Massto and went on his way towards Kreah. They were met by Zera, Jun and Samos and with an order from Overlord Murar, Massto and Erax was sent to return to Ramah after they discovered that Hamis and the boy was missing from the site of the battle where Erax had left them. Overlord Murar felt the trace from an old blackmagic and declared that a war was coming and that they needed the boy. Jun, Zera and Samos was to continue the search and Alain the elf was set to make them look like fools in their efforts. He had to protect the Akhisha no matter what. Alain managed to trap them in an elvencircle at the cost of his own strength. He had to walk away and gather his strength from the earth in order to continue his protection of the boy.

While Erman tried to escape from Karr the mighty Sohr at last manage to take full control of his vessel. They needed power and they would get it with the amulets from the siblings Jahs and Manda. The Sohr whom now owned the body of Karr, ordered Alonse, another one of The Four, to collect every single amulet that Damu the Forbidden had made. The boy is not allowed to close the gate once it has been opened.

Hamis and Andy travelled up the mountain pass towards a safe heaven, a fortress high up in the mountain. When they reached the top they encountered the old man Davos and the next thing Hamis knew, he was fleeing back down without a clue as to where he’d been or where he was going. He didn’t even know his own name.

Chapter XII

Zera and Hamis

When Hamis finally reached the ground of the flat forest land below, it was bright and he could see footprints from men on the ground.

A few broken branches and trampled up leaves helped him to get a sense of direction in the vast vegetation. He had no feeling in his left arm and the pulse was very slow. Suddenly he saw some people up ahead. He shouted at them but no one answered.

He approached them exhaustedly and saw them more clearly as stopped in astonishment. Was it some kind of ritual he watched? Three people were following each other in a circle. They moved very slowly and no one said anything. It was a woman and two men.

As he approached them carefully without trying to disturbing them, he saw how focused they were on their task. Everyone's faces were deeply focused and they seemed totally unaware of Hamis. He hoped that the ritual was not too important because he was in great need of help.

He looked at the woman. She was very beautiful with long blonde hair that looked like it was spun in gold when it got illuminated with sunlight. She had a red shawl with strange symbols. She may be a medicine woman or even better. A healer, but I couldn’t be that lucky, could I?

He reached out his arm and took the woman's hand in his. She did not resist and let herself be led away from the other two who continued the ritual without interruption.

The woman stood before him and looked completely puzzled. She looked at him for a short moment before her face lit up in an incredibly loving smile. Hamis, she said.

Hamis, what a strange name for a woman.

He wanted to introduce himself when he realized that he didn’t know his own name. How strange. Then he watched as the woman's fist came at him with an incredible speed and everything went black.

* * * *

Hamis awoke in the warmth of a campfire and a thick blanket over him. The woman cooked something over the fire. He waited a few moments before he began to speak to the woman. I am sorry that I interrupted the ritual, and you had every right to be pissed off if I disrupted something important. But I am seriously injured and…

Hamis looked at his left arm and saw that it was bandaged and cared for in a skilful way. I see that you have already taken care of me and my left arm. I'm very grateful, Hamis?

The woman had cooked something that smelled wonderful and she stopped what she was doing and looked at him horrified. She hurried up next to him and went down on her knees to examine his jaw where she had hit him. Hamis was still a bit sore but it gave him no pain. You did not hit me that hard, he said with a smile. I was so exhausted and weak, so it probably would have been enough with the gust of wind, he said with a gentle laugh. Hamis? She said questioningly. It’s very nice to meet you Hamis, In spite of the circumstances. Unfortunately, I can not introduce myself because I do not know my name. I seem to have some problems with my memory, Hamis said both playful and serious at the same time.

The woman just sat silently with a terrified look on her face. If I make you uncomfortable I apologize. I think I'm heading for the city which lies east of here. But I would very much like to taste some of that fantastic smelling soup before I go, if you have enough to spare that is? Hamis is your name stupid! And I'm afraid that someone has blocked your memory, the woman said firmly.

My name is Zera and I am the one that made you that cloak you’re wearing. And you and me… we are a couple Hamis.

He was completely dumbfounded as he saw Zera´s beautiful eyes start to fill up with tears. Hamis my Hamis, what has happened to you? She leaned forward and hugged him as she kissed him gently on the cheek.

Zera told Hamis about who he was and what had happened after he met the boy. Hamis could not understand that he was a Representative of the Magicians orden and that he’d fled with a boy who was one of The Forbidden. Zera tried everything. She asked about the boy and the elf and everything else that Hamis had done before he lost his memory but got no answer. Hamis memory was just like a white cloud, and he got a splitting headache every time he tried to think.

Zera took Hamis to the horses and they rode off to the west. When
