AlterOneshot

By Glisto Rice

One born to magic in wealth and prosperity, the other to fire, abandoned and left to a life of poverty and neglect. Two men from separate worlds, take paths that lead to an inevitable confrontation between those of magic and their elemental counterparts. The story that follows is a condensed version of an upcoming novel, though loosely true to the forthcoming book.

His friend shrugged, Same thing that always does.

Hmm, He paused for a moment before saying with a smile, What if I told you I had a story that would make you gain a new outlook on your life?

The friend looked upon him, brow raised, I’d say you’ve got my attention for a minute or two.

He pulls up a seat across from his host, who clears his throat and begins the tale.

Falodar, Adreark
