The Rise and Fall of Runes: A Tale of Angels, Demons, and War Prologue: The Age of Beginnings. Long before the rise of kingdoms, before the first cities were carved into stone, there was an age when the world was young and untamed. It was a time when the skies were filled with the songs of angels, and the earth was a canvas waiting to be painted. Our ancestors called it the Age of Beginnings, a time when the divine and the mortal walked side by side. The angels, beings of pure light and boundless wisdom, gazed upon the world from their celestial realms. They marveled at the beauty of the land, the rivers that flowed like silver threads, and the forests that whispered secrets to the wind. But it was the people—the sons and daughters of men—who captured their hearts. Humble yet curious, fragile yet resilient, humanity was a spark of potential in a vast, untamed world. And so, the angels descended... ©️Racheal Sam #shortstories #fantasy #fictionwriter #rainbowtalesbyrachealsam #fictionstories #fiction #literature #viralstory #entertainment

Once upon a time in a small village, lived a teenager named Lara. But her existence was a tale of sorrow and hardship, for she had been torn from her mother's embrace at a tender age, and condemned to a life of servitude under the roof of her cruel uncle and his harsh wife. Each day dawned with a heavy burden upon Lara’s frail shoulders, her hands calloused from endless toil and her stomach hollow with hunger. Her clothes, mere rags stitched together with threads of despair, bore witness to the cruelty that had seeped into every crevice of her being. One fateful morning, as the sun painted the sky with hues of gold and crimson, Lara was tasked with a journey to a distant stream to fetch water, while her lazy and spoilt cousin, Elea slept luxuriously. With weary steps, she trudged along the winding path, her heart heavy with the weight of her burdens. But fate had other plans in store for Lara that day, for as she reached the banks of the stream, she stumbled upon an old woman, her frail form bent with age and weariness. Moved by compassion, Lara offered her assistance, her heart a beacon of light in the darkness that shrouded them both. Together, they made their way to the old woman's humble abode, where gratitude blossomed like a fragile flower in the desert. In return for Lara’s kindness, the old woman bestowed upon her a gift beyond measure: a magic flute, whispered to grant any wish its bearer desired.

🔥THE RISE AND FALL OF RUNES🔥 A TALE OF ANGELS, DEMONS AND WAR In the days of our ancestors, runes ruled the world. They were said to be magical markings that had been brought to our people by angels millennia ago. These angels loved what they’d seen from the skies and descended to bestow gifts upon our fathers. Gifts that would be passed down by blood from generation to generation. These gifts were a great blessing to the sons of men, allowing them the ability to bend nature to their will for the greater good of the people. But among the angels, were demons, said to have changed form and arrived among the celestial host to also bestow upon men strange gifts; The ability to lay waste and cause total devastation. Their gifts were wild and uncontrollable, eating deep into the souls of men, replacing purity with darkness. The dark souls, as the bearers of these dark runes were called, became almost invincible, refusing to concentrate in the world of man, choosing rather the realms of darkness where they eventually transformed into demons with the ability to keep wearing their human forms, till it was destroyed. They spread like wildfire all through the land causing evil to reign supreme due to their wicked ways. When the pure souls could stand them no longer, a war broke out that lasted for decades. The dark souls devastated and ravaged for a time, but the pure souls fought back just as fiercely, and soon, the great purge began. Every adult or child discovered to possess the demon runes were executed immediately, causing many dark souls to run into hiding while others fled in exile. The land was eventually cleansed of darkness and the people lived peacefully once again. But many had been displaced and rendered exiles in foreign lands. Embittered and filled with hate, the dark souls scattered abroad bided their time, a promise of return and revenge stamped in the tablets of their hearts. ©️ Racheal Sam #viralreels #entertainment #shortstories #fantasy #fictionstories #rainbowtalesbyrachealsam

A TALE OF SECOND CHANCES 💕 (p.3) Diana came in last, young and beautiful as a rose. She was an epitome of beauty. Many believed Ted married her for that reason, because she was like a priceless treasure that many wished to possess. She was an aspiring actress before their marriage and rose to stardom months after. She’d agreed to marry him for the purpose of fame and had engaged in countless amorous relationships while Ted traveled the world building his empire. A few months to his thirty-fifth birthday, a letter reached MaryAnn, who now lived in a mansion in the city and was immensely successful, having opened many branches of Annie’s Fruity Mix all around the country. It was a letter from Ted. It read thus: "Dearest Red Rose, I hope you’re doing well! I am happy to see how far you’ve come since I last saw you. I’m sorry things had to be this way. I have many regrets even now. I hope Roselyne doesn’t hate me. I hope you let her get the gifts I send? I fear I may not see my thirty-fifth birthday. I have been diagnosed with a heart disease and I am deteriorating rapidly. The doctors say I have a short time to live. I’d very much love to see you again. Enclosed herein is the hospital where I am. Please come, and bring Roselyne along. Your loving husband, Teddy ❤” All the anger she’d felt faded at once, and she called her personal assistant to clear her schedule for the next day so she could visit her husband. Things didn’t go as planned because the lady Estella would not let them come into Ted’s chambers. An argument ensued between the two, and MaryAnn stood her ground until Ted’s PA walked up to her and pressed a note into her palm, extricating her from the argument. ...

A TALE OF SECOND CHANCES 💕 (continued) MaryAnn’s life shifted instantly from ordinary to glamorous. Her wardrobes were changed, and servants attended to her every whim. She could no longer perform simple tasks by herself because she was forbidden from doing domestic work. At first, she enjoyed it. Then she began to resent it. Too much was expected of her; she had to host and see to the preparations of endless high-society parties. She had to attend such parties with Ted or as his representative. She was always traveling and had to leave her little daughter, Roselyne, many times with nannies and governesses. And the worst part was that Ted was always never around too, traveling all over the world overseeing his numerous estates, businesses, and investments. Their marriage soon became a shadow of itself, and MaryAnn grew bitter after countless conversations with Ted turned into heated arguments that reached no mutual conclusion. Three years after Roselyne's birth, she stopped hosting parties at her husband's request and stopped representing him in important functions. She enrolled in a prestigious university in the city and gained admission to study agriculture. She also set up a fruit-processing factory in the village and started fruit juice production on a large scale. Seeing that he was alone despite being married, Ted succumbed to the allure of his high-standing friends and married a reigning beauty of the upper class. Her name was Estella. She was twenty-fifth in line to the throne of their country and also the Duchess of the largest town in the county. She was well-read and conversant with the times and politics. She excelled, where MaryAnn could not, and increased Ted’s influence and wealth a hundredfold. They had a son together, Julian. Three years down the line, she began having an affair with a prestigious young man since Ted was never around!

A TALE OF SECOND CHANCES💕 Once upon a time there lived a wealthy man named Ted. He had countless properties scattered across the globe and acres upon acres of fertile land for orchards, ranches, and timber farms. His wealth and fame drew women to him from far and wide. And although his marital plans had been to settle with one woman, he ended up with three wives by the time he reached his thirty-fifth year. MaryAnn was the first, the wife of his youth, his first love. They’d been together when the world knew little of his existence. She’d stood by his side when he was nothing but a struggling, laboring farmer in a lord’s farm that offered employment to the villagers. She’d agreed to marry him in his low state despite her parents’ and friends’ warnings. Moving into their little house had been one of her happiest moments, and the honeymoon spent along the little river behind their humble home was an experience she cherished forever. She’d been pregnant with their first child when a letter had come from the village attorney summoning Ted to the magistrate’s office. It was a turn of events that would change the course of their lives forever. The summons had been on account of a sick lord who owned a gigantic estate in their village, testifying that Ted was his son whom he’d lost and thought dead since childhood. A DNA test had been carried out, and the claim had proven true. Lord Engred, as MaryAnn came to know him, bequeathed his entire estate to Ted upon his death and absorbed him into the life of the bourgeoisie...
