Scattered Remnants

By Denise Cash

Scattered Remnants is a story of Hope for all who have lost theirs. An unlikely Heroine and a strange old man join forces for good and begin a battle against the darkness that is trying to consume everyone it comes into contact with. As the story progresses you may find yourself drawn into the adventures with the characters. It is the first of a series and my hope is that it accomplishes what it was written for.

Denise Cash

I am a simple girl from Pennsylvania. Spent some time in the Navy. made alot of really poor choices in my life like drugs, alcohol and the like. by the time I was 39 I was facing homelessness. I went to a Church around the corner from where I was living one Sunday got prayed for and delivered. Been going every Sunday to the same place for almost 14 years. My life was changed, my eyes were open and I was saved from Darkness. I know this is kind of intense, but I want you to know there is hope for you, you are loved. No matter what you've done it's not too horrible and it's never too late to have an amazing life with a beautiful purpose. I'm sharing because the voice of experience sometimes is what we need to hear. I've been through lung cancer surgery and so much more. These bad experiences and circumstances helped prepare me to live my purpose, which is to be a light in as many people as possible's darkness.

CHAPTER 1

The Warning

A ll the days of her life seemed to run together, even at fifteen she was weary of the tedious, uneventful life she was living. A scrub Maiden in a cold, dark castle ruled by a horribly cruel and greedy King named Desdemona. Even hearing his name or his voice chilled her to the bone, nothing but pure evil. His sneer and strangely dark eyes were frightening to see even to grown men. Ciana shuddered to get rid of the disturbing image of this cruel king she work ed for.

As she worked cleaning the kitchen she thought of her life. Abandoned as an infant outside the castle drawbridge one of the king’s servants had found her and brought her to the Head Scrub Maiden, they took her in, raised and trained her and for that she was thankful, but she had a feeling deep inside that seemed to grow stronger each year. There must be more… surely this cannot be how her entire life would be. She scrubbed and daydreamed to make the sad reality of her life more tolerable. Suddenly there was shouting throughout the kitchen! Something about a strange old man being brought before King Desdemona. It seems the foolish old man had demanded an audience to warn the king of some threat to his kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this is Haghar he calls himself a messenger of Elohim and wants to have an audience with you to warn you of impending danger to you and your
