Huntress' Haven

Chapter 5 – Showdown It’s precisely 9am when Van Pelt walks through the front door of Vermögens with one mission on his mind… keeping Kaspian Rutherford under his control. He stomps over to the first Dwarf he sees, not caring really if it was the proper one for the situation and demands in an unrelenting very condescending tone, “Get me Gravelmouth right now. I don’t have all day to wait on you.” The Dwarf at the counter glances up at him and states in a Dwarves most disrespectful tone, “Ahhh Mr. Van Pelt just the man we were expecting. Mythrlclaw will be with you momentarily, please wait in chairs.” He turns to the next in line and states, “Next in line; how may I help you today?” Not believing that the Dwarf just dismissed him like he was a common nobody, Van Pelt decided to take a seat then make a complaint to the Dwarf in charge. A very young kobold steps into the waiting area and requests, “Van Pelt, Reginald… Og’ Talmraz Mythrlclaw will see you now; this way please.” He’s led bac...

Chapter 4 –Familial Connection Confirmed ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ “My lord,” Saxon intones carefully, “It’s true. I’ve tested the potion and the blood several times. I also tested the blood using some of my own methods. You are indeed related to this young woman. Well if the blood in the vial was hers anyhow. I performed the standard Familial Relationship test and it’s positive. Then I brewed my own Relationship Determiner potion and the Ancestry potion; they both show that you are her Great Grandfather.” ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Kaspian Rutherford had just finished his letter to The Society when a beautiful little glittery perfect black dragon with a message clutched in a claw ( it was only about a foot and a half long with a wing span a little bigger) popped into his room and settled in front of him on the desk. As he watched in astonishment the dragon reached down then held out the message to him in an imperious manner. Kaspian still stunned at the appearance of a dragon in his room didn...

Chapter 3 Van Pelt’s Quandary Reginald Von Pelt c was still sitting in his office at - Ars Magika~ L'istituto di Potere Antico deeply immersed in the Tome of Blood Wards and Runic Barriers that he’d found in the Rutherford Vaults. He had been amazed when he’d found it during his last exploration through the vault, he hadn’t realized that the Rutherford line dated back to the time of the Elders, but this tome was written by Gwendolyn Wyvernum and Aselon Robert Rutherford. It turns out that Aselon Rutherford had been one of Lady-Mage Wyvernum’s teachers, in fact master to her apprentice. This book and the two others he’d found on ancient wards both offensive and defensive would be instrumental in the rewarding of Hogwarts and his other acquired properties. He called for a gnolf to bring him a midnight snack; Tulip was setting out the hot chocolate and cookies when suddenly things started disappearing with loud pops from all over the office… starting with the book that Van Pelt was de...

CHAPTER 2 – Kaspian’s Decision Kaspian was sitting in his tiny barely furnished room on Foxglove Lane contemplating the lies he’d discovered at the end of the school term. Rob being paid to be his friend, Orlaith getting privileges and power for spying on him, Jessica getting promised the Rutherford fortune for spying on him and keeping his hormones on edge; the whore. Van Pelt thinking of him as nothing more than a tool, a weapon to be used and disposed of once its purpose was complete. They never should have even considered taking his inheritance but they did and have. The bastard should have never given him that darkness cloak, especially if he didn’t want his secrets found out. What to do about the traitors… ignore them? Nah… not painful enough to them need to hurt them where it counts. Going to start with legal matters and make it hurt them where it counts most. Will show them just how mature I am. He pulled out a piece of parchment and started writing… To Steelclaw, I hope that y...

Chapter 1 – Family Connection The Mori~Gurtha (Dark Lord) summoned the cream of all his Katarii, the truest of his supporters: Devid McCrey and Saxon Stevens appeared first (as they should) followed closely by Callista and Randolph Renyolds, James Whitmore, Thomas Smithe and finally Kadrin Portner. “Portner why are you late? Don’t bother to answer I really don’t care. Devid what have you found out about that attack at Dorset Village? We know we had nothing to do with it correct? I didn’t approve it… have some of the lower militia decided to take matters into their own hands?” demanded The Mori~Gurtha with a sneer. Devid McCrey calmly replies, “My Liege, the Bureau is blaming the Katariin but have no supporting evidence. There was nothing at the scene to point to us; no one was captured, there were no witnesses who can say for sure, no cloaks or masks, and the zerkataan wasn’t used. All that was found or confirmed at the site was a heavy residue of dark magic and 7 dead Mundanei childre...

Ancient Power Ancient Heritage Prologue Prologue: 47 years ago a great dark lord was defeated… his name Adolf Hitler to the mundanei but to the magical world he was known as Acheron: The Angel of Death. Most didn’t realize they were one and them same person but they were. Little known to anyone else in either worlds Acheron had taken an apprentice one, Kiran Ryder who called himself The Mori~Gurtha. The Mori~Gurtha pulled in the people he trusted most and named them Katariin and marked them on their right shoulder blade with his personal mark the zerkataan which depicts a coiled dragon with a large sword held up in a clawed hand. He set the Katariin to collecting weapons, artifacts and books of power. He performed rituals of all types; good, evil, and neutral as well as dedicated to many different gods to make himself magically and physically stronger and more powerful. Now the man that had defeated Acheron had becomes the worlds darling given titles and awards and his choice of covete...

As I've been working on this rewrite and turning it more towards an original story I've made some discoveries.. 1. I hate the name I chose for the headmaster of Ars Magika.. so I am changing it from Kiano... to Reginald Van Pelt (still doesn't make me happy but i like it a little better) 2. some of my readers found it a little hard to jump right into without getting a little lost so I've created a short Prologue to help explain some almost ancient history. with this being said and done I'm gonna repost with the current changes..
