If you’re new here and would like to read the previous chapters, click here. FYI, I went back and rewrote the previous chapters before I wrote chapter four. That helped me figure out how the spell had affected Drake, and it will also make them easier to follow for new readers. This week, Drake will learn… Continue Reading
Onxy Eyes: Chapter Three
I hadn’t planned for there to have been a spell on Drake, but now that I’ve added it, I like that there are some mysterious people trying to help him. And when I rewrite it, I will go back in and add clues of Drake sensing a powerful magic but not knowing why. And I’ll also add a warning from Tulak about him sensing the magic on Drake too.

Onyx Eyes: Chapter One
“Even fairies can die, Captain.”
Drake scowled down on the freedman standing beside him. “We’re not fairies, Kenneth.”
The old man waved his hand. “You know what I mean. Only the Old Ones are immortal. The rest of us—malaki . . . human . . . Our lives are a mist that appears for a little while, then vanishes.”

Onyx Eyes: Prologue
“By the time I got to homeroom, Quinn was standing on the teacher’s desk in his boxers, dancing,” Sophia said.
Kaitlyn’s cheeks tingled with shock. “My brother?” The commotion of the packed cafeteria softened as Sophia’s accusation rang in her ears.
Across the table, Janelle set down her bottle of Pepsi. “Someone must have threatened him.”
“Nope,” Sophia said. “He did it on his own.”
“But Quinn is so shy,” Janelle said. “He would never dance in public, if he’d even dance at all.”
Kaitlyn smashed her fork into her gravy and mashed potatoes. Normally she would have agreed with Janelle, but her brother had been acting strange lately. Very strange. But this . . . What was wrong with him? Drugs, maybe?
