The Eyes of the Beholden

Trying to ignore that accusatory glare was becoming increasingly difficult with every moment that passed, making the already paper-thin focus I was keeping on my business crack like glass under the tender care of a baseball bat. It was only a matter of seconds before my mental fortress crumbled and I was forced to answer that silent plight voiced only by lifeless lenses. The source of the insistent, unblinking optical assault was a pair of glasses, a transparent, lightweight plastic frame that rimmed two thin lenses... if I was any judge they belonged to someone who didn't usually need glasses, and most likely a woman who wasn't used to wea

RE - The Heart of Fire 1

"… I was walking in the forest, somewhere close to here probably, then I noticed a column of smoke rising off in the distance and I quickened my pace back towards the village, but then the trees suddenly caught fire and I felt the heat rising behind me. I started to run but looking behind me I saw that the fire wasn't just spreading quickly, it was really dashing after me. After a while I got caught in it, but it didn't hurt… my clothes got burned but my skin wasn't… I felt really frightened but at the same time also at peace. Then I woke up. What does it mean?" Judith asked to the old witch sitting in front of her, who apparen

The Heart of Fire 12

It was around noon when she heard a voice coming from above her "Are you lost Miss?" She looked up and saw a tiny figure sitting on a branch of a nearby tree, even if the voice she heard would easily have fitted a human many times bigger than the creature. From the brown feathers that grew on his wings and head she guessed he was a sprite. "Umm... not really, I guess. I just have to follow the river to reach the town, right?" she replied. "Yeah, that's the right way... Are you new around here?" "Yes, I'm running away from the Order and I heard that here it's safe from them, so..." "You heard right, Miss. I can accompany you there if you

He still felt empty now. Sure, he managed to catch a boar, but it wasn't the emptiness of the stomach what he was referring to. And the howls of regret that soared in his chest weren't going to go away with a meal. He truly did let her go, it was the right thing to do and he knew it, but that didn't make it any easier on him... knowing that she was safe was enough for him, but not having her close... it hurt him, and it hurt like hell. He then heard a rustling sound coming from over his head... probably someone else that saw yesterday's beacon of fire and wanted to bring him to one of the Courts... He sighed and absentmindedly shot a sma

He remained there for a while, panting heavily and still holding his head between his hands. He gave in to the hunt, he completely lost himself... and even if he did what he had to... he didn't have to be so brutal, so cruel... so... so... After what he just did he didn't know how he could face Andrea? Would he still behave? Or did he already go too far to come back? Even if he was calm right now, he still felt it... the predator crawling inside of him. This just wasn't enough for it, not enough blood, not enough death. It wanted more, and even if right now he was not willing to give in and appease the beast... for how long would he m

He remained awake and waited until he could hear Andrea's breathing becoming smooth and regular. When he was sure about her being asleep he quietly moved, turning around to look at her. Even if she had been quiet about it, he still noticed that she cried herself to sleep... it was heart-wrenching for him, especially since he knew that it was all his fault... every instant he wanted to just turn around, hug her and tell her that everything would be fine, that he wasn't really that bad, that he'd never hurt her. But he himself wasn't so sure about that, and furthermore... They weren't going to remain together for much longer, tomorrow for

"Andy? Are you alright?" from his voice he seemed to be concerned about her and not angry at all... just what was wrong with him? She remained still and quiet, unsure about what to do... "Look, I'm sorry for before. I just wanted to stop lying to you but I went off and made it seem a lot worse than it really is... than I really am. So, well here I am... Are you okay? Just answer me if you can... did the trows get to you?" Her tension cleared in that moment, and her relief burst out with tears from her eyes as she started sobbing "Cyllin... I-I..." "Dammit... Andy just stay still, I'll get you out of there." He then went down on the ground

"Welcome home... now let's go swiftly to the Queen and get this over with." said Brady as soon as Cyllin arrived in the Court. The giant was looking around, his gaze wandering aimlessly on the familiar, yet slightly different place, but immediately returned to be focused on the castle as soon as he heard the sprite talk. "Yeah... let's do this quick." he nodded and started to walk towards the castle. The bridge was now mostly deserted, but the few Fairies that walked around at that hour were staring wide-eyed at him, probably unsure if they were dreaming of he was really there... and about what to do if the Flame Lord really was roaming th

She couldn't even remember the last time she slept so well... she felt very good and refreshed. "So the princess is still alive? Thought you were dead, lass. Well, rise and shine, it's already noon." Her good mood lasted for ten long seconds before fading away... almost a record in these days. She just wasn't expecting to see Brady as first thing when she opened her eyes, and luckily she woke from too short a time to process the words 'fuck you' and say them. "Get up, come on... the Queen wants to see you in about an hour, and you don't want to be late, trust me." All those words so close to her getting up were already not good, plus she

This time she was sure that she wasn't seeing from her own eyes, nor the feelings she had were her own... Such intense, wild excitement in the midst of a battle, the lack of fear or worry as gunshots resounded close, and the rush of adrenaline that rose with bloodlust surely weren't her own. And nearby she saw Cyllin, but he seemed to be impossibly huge from her point of view... could those eyes she saw out of be Brady's? Around them there was hell, no other way to put it. The screams of dying men mingled with the sounds of gunshots and bigger explosions, fire spreading around and making the whole battlefield glow in a harsh red light that

Brad was right... he risked to be late for this... and he would miss a very important chance if he truly messed up his timing... two important chances actually. He did his best to get clean and dressed in the least amount of time possible... the sun still had to go down, so he probably was still in time... He got out of the castle main gate and went through the garden, quickly reaching the window to the Queen's quarters. It was a bit over his head, but standing on tiptoes he still managed to peek inside. The room itself was much like he remembered it, but there was something strange about it all... maybe the fact that it was the first tim

Kiriban - Painting Muse

White. No-one ever said to me that despair would be so fair and expressionless. Many think of such depression as being black, dark depths into which one can plunge and never emerge from again. But black is vibrant, rich, enveloping... while white is cold and harsh and glaring. An uncaring wall that I used to paint in wonderful colors and that now rejects my touch... Will I ever manage to break through this white? Will color return to my life? Dull gray spread all around me. As nightly thoughts went, mine were pretty sombre tonight... but I couldn't get anything different out of the knots in my mind in this gloom. The shroud of night coul

My Bio

Okay, changing this thingie now... mainly to put up a "professional" up there. Yup, went and published. ^w^ Let's see how this will go.

Anyway, Osric here, and this page is going to be mainly the hub for my "The Heart of Fire" related stuff... I'll let you know through this page whenever there are sales and stuff like that... and if/when the next books are going to be uploaded.
Plus, I'll try to collect here all the possible future/already present fanart/commissioned artworks... in a few words, everything related to "The Heart of Fire"!

In the gallery, other than character files from the book, there still are my first two novels and my whole range of "magic circles" collection... and that's mostly it.

Greetings,
Osric.

NOTE: Most of my vector pics use various fonts found here and there on the internet (some I still have a reference of are these) and brushes all taken from redheadstock so if I forget some credits... well they're here in the front page ^^

About the Sale

0 min read

So, since February is the "actual" birthmonth of The Heart of Fire, I used the possibility offered by Amazon to put it on sale at the start and the end of the month... in the end, I guess it did go quite alright. ^w^ I managed to give away 400 copies that way, so hopefully more people will read and spread the word that way. ^w^ I want to thank everyone who helped spreading the word about the sale, btw. You can expect a similar promotion around the 7th of June, since that is the day in which the book was published. ^w^ Osric out.
