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
