Aeneas: Spirian Short Adventure

By Rowena Portch

Forged by the famous alchemist Hermes Trismegistus, the sword Aeneas is sworn to work magic for the one who wields it. In the wrong hands, however, Aeneas could destroy all that is good in this world, creating a hell of nightmarish proportions. Spirian Connor seeks the sword because it once belonged to his Angel father Avel when he was a human; Connor believes the sword will allow him to forge a connection with his father. But the Shadows also seek the sword, and when Connor finds himself falling in love with one of their kind, he is faced with the most difficult choice of his life.

Prologue

My name is Connor Avel Hawk and I was born into a clan of Spirians, though I have never really felt like one. You see … thousands of years ago when the Angels decided to mate with the Fae, the Spirian race was born. They are like humans, except they vibrate with the frequency of Angels and harbor the gifts of the Fae. Humans, of course, cannot tell us apart from their kind, which enables us to live among them in harmony.

As with all aspects of life, however, with every good stems an equal evil—a battle Spirians and humans alike have waged since the beginning of time.

I, on the other hand, am unlike any Spirian known to this world. My mother, Elle, was human until she was touched by an Archangel. This enabled her to reunite with her mate, Avel, from a past life. By that point, she had reincarnated as a human in the late twentieth century and he had become an Angel. One night together and I became the miracle son—a reincarnation of the unborn child who died when my mother took her own life shortly after Avel's death in the Spartan wars. Avel's reunion with Elle was short, and like all things in life, it came to an end. When I was six, my mother united with a Spirian male named, Drew Hawk, which explains why I have three names while most Spirians have only two—another thing that makes me different.

Yes, physically, I am a Spirian, born unto this life by the shear mercy of the Holy Father. I was told I had a purpose to fulfill and that my life would be important. I started showing promise at the young age of fifteen, when I learned how to change one substance into another: lead into gold, glass into diamonds,
