The liquid traced the cracks of the crystal, adorning it in a web of red.
Suddenly, two crimson marbles lit up inside the crystal. The councilman’s chest rose with excitement. It was working!
The light went out a second later, but what remained was the sweetest sound he’d ever heard.
It was the soft thump of a heartbeat. The wicked pounding of a creature who had rested for far too long. He would have to go out and find a few more sacrifices to fully awaken the hellion resting within. That would be easy enough. There were more than enough simple-minded girls around Va’siel he could lure to their deaths.
His skin shivered at the thought of the legacy he was so close to fulfilling. He would be known as the man who ushered in the end of the human age. The name Nakatomi would forever be linked with the destruction of Va’siel’s way of life.
There was one who stood in the way of his legacy: Falcon Hyatt. He had become too powerful.
There was, however, also an answer. He licked his lips as his eyes fell on the black crystal at the end of the room. The being who lay dormant within was more than enough to handle the so-called heir of the elements.
A new era was coming. The era of the Onagas.
Acknowledgments:
As I write this acknowledgment, like many other times when I write, I find myself alone in my room. Nonetheless, this series wasn’t brought forth by me alone.
I thank God, for giving me a chance to share my creativity (as minor as it may be) with the world.
Thanks to my son, Cesar Adrian Gonzalez. Thank you for listening to my stories and getting so invested in the world of Element Wielder. I love you more than you will ever know. I’m glad I get to pass everyday with you, buddy.
Thank you to Natali for allowing me to steal your computer on a daily basis to write (Sorry).
Then there’s my cover artist, Dennis Frohlich. His amazing artistic ability and valuable input is always greatly appreciated. To my editor, Laura Hutfilz. Thanks for your keen eye as you fix my awful (and I do mean awful) grammar.
Last, but certainly not least, I thank all of you who bought, read, and recommended my book to your friends and family. I conceived the idea of Element Wielder when I was an 8th grader. I’m glad that dream I had all those years ago has reached so many of you out there.
Thank you for following the adventure of Falcon Hyatt, from a lowly orphan boy to the Heir of the Elements. His adventure isn’t over, and I sincerely hope you all follow along with him as he begins a new chapter of his life.
Don’t be a stranger. Feel free to e-mail me with your thoughts on the series, or stop by the website. I like hearing from you all.

The Lost And The Wicked- (Available now!)
Year: 2107
When 16-year-old Mandy Glau returns to Earth after a six-year space expedition, she can't wait to get back to her normal teenage life. But she never could have foreseen what would transpire.
Mandy's ship, holding her sisters and two hundred crew members, sinks into the bottom of the Pacific. Mandy escapes, only to find that the Earth she knew is no more. It has been destroyed and is now devoid of human life. Once proud cities now lie tattered in ruins, shells of their former selves. And a new diabolical species has taken residence in her former home planet.
Mandy must now race against the clock as she struggles to get her family and crew free from the sunken ship, the same ship that only has two weeks left of air supply. But now a new evil is hunting her, determined to end humanity once and for all.
