THE THIRD</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
day of employing Horin’s bridges, it changed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
plateau dwellers had to fight the authorities to leave their cities and towns;
they escaped slave masters, ran from raiders, coped in extreme weather
conditions, and even suffered the cavalry chasing them. All this happened while
they brimmed with both fear and hope. They had also seen and lived sorcery now.
The latter had saved them numerous times.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mirlin
grew up accepting the talents as a natural condition, but even in the west it
was not commonplace. He, too, needed to fight the authorities to leave, and
walked across the plains in the hottest dry season in living memory. It nearly
killed him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Thus,
everyone marching knew about hardship, wherever they originated from, and
expected the unexpected, but they had overlooked something integral.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
authorities tested for talents long before Damin sprung the Porlese trap and therefore
discovered many latent abilities; why else continue the program of testing? Logically,
it meant those authorities, whoever they were, possessed certain talents as
theirs to command. The unfortunates caught before the march to a haven did not now
walk with the host; they remained as captives upon the plateau.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
fundamental oversight did not occur to Mirlin until everything changed, and by then
it was too late.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">On
Horin’s second bridge of the day they heard what sounded like the drone of
insects, possibly a swarm in flight. At first Mirlin thought of bees, perhaps
even locusts, but there was nothing to be seen. Eyes darted everywhere, his and
many others, only to look again at each in confusion. The wildlife inhabiting
the plains, whether mammal, reptile, avian or insect, was another unknown
factor; the approaching mass could be anything.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Except
there was nothing to be seen.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In
consternation, he halted. The Mur girl’s face captured his attention and drained
him of all hope. Siri lifted her head upward and her face lost all colour. Her
jaw hung slack and she could not move. With shivers of dread coursing through him,
Mirlin too looked up.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Blue
war shields were in the air, flying in formation, on swift approach, and atop
each curved platform perched a man, bow raised, face manic, and mouth wide as
if screaming challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
was the effort of someone controlling the talent for utter manipulation, able
to alter the normal into something extraordinary. Perhaps more than one mind
achieved it, a concerted joining of power, he could not know, but it was
obvious that someone had taken an ordinary war shield and created from it a
flying machine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Many
flying machines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This
was something straight out of a Glonu legend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">How
the soldiers were strong-armed into accepting the duty was anyone’s guess; men
did not fly, after all – creatures feathered and scaled did. Perhaps those
gaping mouths had more to do with fear than it did with challenge. However it came
to pass, it no longer featured, for a host of trained men was about to attack
from the heavens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Cursing
under his breath, Mirlin flayed himself for his lack of foresight. By the
sands, not that anyone would have foreseen a situation close to it even in
imagination. This event would be difficult to recover from. Many would die this
day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
first arrows flew.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Off
the path!” Damin shouted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Fear
paralysed everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“MOVE!”
Damin hollered, cupping his hands at his mouth. “Horin needs the bridge!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Animation
returned, and men, women and children launched into the scrub, hauling animals
with them. It was a mess of limbs and gear, but it happened fast. Arrows thudded
to earth and some found flesh. Gargles swiftly became screams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Damin
and Mirlin immediately formed a buffer over Horin when the boy kneeled, the men
locking into a forearm grip and crouching over him. Mirlin suffered the sense
of a thousand arrows smacking into his exposed back; no doubt Damin felt the
same. Siri hunkered between Forest’s legs beside them, praying to Massin’s
so-called benevolent stars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Quickly,
Horin,” Damin murmured.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mirlin
marvelled at his calm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
rain of barbs intensified, and the shields overhead blotted the sun. They squatted
within a twilight of death with eternal doom but an arrowhead away. Gooseflesh
assailed skin and ears twitched.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Horin</i>,” Mirlin urged also.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
lad shook head to toe. Fear had him. He swallowed with difficulty, eyes
flitting into every direction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Concentrate
on what you must do,” Damin said. “We deal with pain after, all right?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Do
it,” Siri added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Horin
stared at her for a moment, and then nodded. He elevated his hand and, thank
the sands, the ‘bridge’ lifted and swiftly altered both substance and shape. It
became fluid, as heavy water.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Everything
froze in the ensuing moment. Arrows juddered to a stop in the air. Shields halted
in mid-flight and -turn. Soldiers were immobilised in various poses, while the
marchers were as living statues. The green barrier did not move either.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Frowning,
Mirlin wondered what the boy sought to achieve. Horin gazed at Damin. It
appeared only the four of them were able to move.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The
only way to end it, Damin, is by killing all of them.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Those
words explained the frozen state surrounding them. Horin sought permission to
do what he had to, or hoped for absolution before the act. Siri was pale, but
remained silent, her gaze moving to her brother also.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Damin
closed his eyes. His jaw worked through his inner tension. “It is us or them,
Horin. This is defence, not cold murder.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Horin
nodded, his face oddly expressionless, the reaction of a mature man rather than
that of a mere boy, and his fingers opened to bleed tendrils of red light. Those
scarlet wisps, reminding Mirlin of blood, weaved into the pulsating jade
substance, to form a lattice within the fluidity. Abruptly Horin clenched his
hand into a fist and they flinched as sound and movement resumed with the next
heartbeat.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It
was chaos. People ran and stumbled, screamed, and groaned. Arrows caught in
mid-flight smacked down. Donkeys brayed and horses neighed. Shields in the sky
buckled briefly before correcting for the next pass.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mirlin
read terror in many eyes. The soldiers on those shields stared at the rising
substance, and they were afraid. On the ground, silence fell as everyone gazed
up. Even the animals were now quiet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Arrows
were nocked and loosed ever faster, but now none found target; the spreading green
and red ‘net’ absorbed every impact. The magical device lifted ever higher and
stretched wider and further, becoming almost transparent, it was that thin. It
was now a veil between the marchers and the archers on their flying blue shields.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mirlin’s
heart threatened to escape its cage in his chest. Peripherally, for the
spectacle overhead garnered all his attention, he noticed Horin punch the air.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
miasma exploded.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
sonic boom accompanying it felled those on the ground. They stumbled to knees, fell
to all fours, but still all stared up, transfixed. Small pellets of sorcery
targeted the archers. Tiny missiles smacked into flesh with popping, wet sounds
that served to empty a few guts on the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Siri
gagged, but held on to the contents of her stomach.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify; text-indent: 22.5pt;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mirlin
expected the archers to explode also, by the sands, but instead they became as
nothing in an instant. One moment a man perched atop a shield, the next he was ether.
His shield hurtled to earth, and his bow and arrow pouch joined the headlong
tumble. Within two minutes the sky was cleared, and shields, bows and arrows
littered the scrubby terrain.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>According to legend, a paradise awaits across the plains, a
sanctuary that has survived every impact and every battle. Known as Arc, it is a
place of isolation, a place to restart civilisation.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>A fireball grows ever larger in the skies and ancient
enemies wing through the spaces; the world Massin is the gathering place for
every omen of disaster. Every resident soul faces a choice. Time now to march
south to the sanctuary, from the eastern highlands and the western seas, there to
escape apocalypse, and the renewal of the war between the Ilfin and Glonu, or
stay behind, hoping for a miracle.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>An Elemental will find the sanctuary – Lyra is gifted – a
Warrior will defend the dispossessed – the boy Horin will grow up fast – and a
Marsh Devil will lead them – Damin spends years preparing for this epic event –
but it is also true that a sanctuary is not always a haven. Has the legend
lied? Will Arc protect them?</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p> </o:p>Prepare for an adventure that will journey from ancient ways
of living into high-tech environments. Ilfin of Arc is a dystopian Fantasy tale
that flies into star filled spaces – strap in!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><o:p></o:p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LSX5NM2" target="_blank">Ilfin of Arc</a></div>Elaina J.

half of 2020, this inspirational book was conceived to cope with the different
world we suddenly found ourselves in. As the author, it matters not to me if it
sells or not; this is a personal project – I needed to find my light, and this
is how I did so.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Based on
fictional insights, for fiction has helped us in these trying times, <i>Our

need to move forwa</span>rd.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Now we are in a new year and it
is not over; the pandemic and economic fallout is still with us. <i>Our Lanterns
Glow</i> is more relevant than ever. Now it helps us make sense of the very
strange time we endured and aids us in focusing on the future. Whether we read
this today or in a hundred years, it remains relevant; ever do we need the
light and always it is our responsibility to lift our lanterns for others to
find their way in the darkness. Find the insight you need in this small book
