“How exactly are you going to use these powers to help the rebellion?” Kanti asked.
“I know many things that are happening with the crodillians right now, not many of which you yourself aren't unaware of. There are things I’ve seen none know about, but they’ll be revealed when the time is right. I can’t have anyone acting too soon.”
“I forgive you again, Donnchadh,” Anlon held out his hand.
Donnchadh took it. “I don't deserve forgiveness for what I’ve done. I’ve betrayed everything I was supposed to protect.”
“But you’ve changed,” Anlon smiled. “You’re making up for those mistakes, you have learned from them. That’s all we can do in life, especially right now.”
“Thank you,” Donnchadh embraced him. “I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for everything.”
“We have more important things to worry about right now than vengeance,” Anlon looked to Leilah and Kanti. “Orion is in peril and we need everyone to come together if we're going to make it through this.”
“Old enemies must become new friends. Your family would be proud of everything you’ve done and the man you’ve become, Anlon,” Kanti hugged him.
“We’ll win this war,” Leilah said. “All of us will come together and we’ll come out victorious. These savage won’t hold us in their grasp any longer.” The room was beaming with the radiance of Leilah's presence. Her presence gave everyone confidence and strength from deep within. “There will be much death and bloodshed, but I see the tide turning in my visions. Where once it was hopeless, now I see a glimmer of hope that’s only shining brighter the longer I’m in your presence,” she took Kanti's hand. “You will lead the rebels to victory.”
“Let's show the Crodillians who they're really up against,” Kanti beamed. “Let's show them the full force of this rebellion they think they've defeated.”

About the Author
My name is Conner and I'm new to the writing world. War for Orion: Ghosts from the Past is my first attempt at publishing a novel, and it's the first in a trilogy. Besides that trilogy, I have several other works in progress that go from science fiction, to fantasy, and even a mystery/thriller. My goal as a writer is to not only write memorable stories that readers are looking for, but to create unique characters that readers hate/love or even just find funny and amusing.
I grew up in Mansfield, Texas and I'm currently in my last semester of being an undergrad. I'll graduate with a degree in engineering and from there I'm going to law school. My focus will be in intellectual property and entertainment. My hope is to continue writing throughout all of this, so leave reviews, comments, and follow me on social media for updates!
