Daywalker

by Charisma Knight

  “Valaris killed my father!” Akaisha screeched a blood-curdling howl. Her pain, cutting through Daegan like a sharp dagger as he tried his best to restrain the woman he loved.

  “No, my love, Valaris is dead! I promise you!” Daegan assured her, a look of confusion and pain forming upon his face.

  “Noooo, Valaris lives! Mother!” Akaisha howled painfully, suddenly convulsing, eventually collapsing in Daegan’s arms.

  Magus shook his head, closing his eyes in an effort to read Akaisha’s aura.

  “No, this cannot be!” the magus roared.

  “What do you speak of, brother?” Kale asked, his heart pounding violently within his chest, fearing the answer he would receive.

  “She’s lost her mind, magus,” Daegan bellowed. “Help her, I beg you. Wake up, Akaisha!” Daegan roared, his heart unable to withstand losing his soul mate once again.

  “She lives, Daegan,” Hysteon murmured. “Like Valaris, Akaisha is not dead, I assure you. We have bigger problems,” The magus spoke, not believing his own words.

  “Then pray tell, magus, who the hell did I kill?” Daegan demanded.

  “Not Valaris, Daegan. I’m afraid we underestimated him; he has traveled to Akaisha’s time killing her father, the Pharaoh. He magically cloaked a slave, leading everyone to believe you killed him. He has learned more than I thought while I was away. I’m sorry, Daegan,” Hysteon said regretfully. “He now seeks the aid of an Egyptian goddess.”

  “For what?” Kale asked in disbelief.

  “I’m unsure, everything is too unclear, but the queen is in danger,” Hysteon replied.

  “Then I, too, shall travel to Egypt, and kill Valaris once and for all. I will need you to teach me of these tricks as well,” Daegan seethed, anger permeating his entire being. “I won’t underestimate my brother again, I promise you this. When I kill him, I shall behead the bastard and leave his dead body to greet the first light of dawn!” Daegan growled…

  About the Author

  I enjoy writing historical and contemporary novellas, some of which are a mixture of the darker paranormal. My heroines and heroes are old, reincarnated and cursed souls who are forced to live out their existence until they have atoned for past sins they truly care not to remember. Most often, my characters are struggling between good and evil within, while some easily succumb to the darkness, others aggressively fight for what they believe in, ultimately achieving a higher level of happiness and salvation within their cursed existence.
