About the book:
The
Elemental Crystals were originally created to protect the earth. However,
Abaddon the Demon Lord plans to use them to transform the earth into a realm of
haunting darkness and witchery, forever. In Guiding The Blue Flame, a
young but powerful Nasharin Warrior, Darshun Luthais is drawn to one of these
magical crystals of immense power. He learns he‟s the fulfillment of the two
thousand year old Prophecy of the Guardian. The Wizard Olchemy informs him that
he is the protector and guardian the earth has been waiting for. With
Darshun‟s ability to sense the Elemental Crystals, Olchemy devises a plan to
obtain them.
Accompanied
by a small group of companions the hunt is on, in hopes to retrieve the long
lost crystals before the Demon Lord claims them. During the journey,
Darshun encounters Aurora, the sole survivor of a now extinct people. He falls
in love for the first time, and now resents the so-called Guardian of the
Prophecy role. Due to Darshun‟s naïve spirit he‟s caught off guard by Nayland,
a mysterious dark warrior who confronts him about his abandonment of the quest.
He reveals that he too, is a Nasharin warrior, though far exceeding Darshun in
skill and power. Darshun‟s father, Mirabel saves him from death at the hands of
Nayland.
Outmatched
and in bewilderment from the attack, a fire awakens in Darshun. He plans on
reaching his father's level of power with a journey to Shajin Island, where
Nasharin Warriors train. He‟ll be gone for only one day in Earth realm time,
but due to the magic of the rigorous island, it will be seven long years for
him. Entering the mystical realm of Shajin, he eagerly awaits its life
threatening challenges.
EXCERPTBefore dinner was served, Aurora left to change into some fresh clothes she’d taken from her hut, which fortunately remained intact. Upon her return, all eyes shifted to her, especially Darshun’s. She’d donned a reddish-brown and orange gown, tight to her hips which fell in folds at her feet. A long carnelian necklace adorned her neck, the stones polished to perfection, and two striking earrings of diamonds and rubies, the rubies hung within a diamond border. She slowly walked over to Darshun's area, the overwhelming scent of lilacs and roses following, her strawberry-blonde hair smoothly combed and capturing the firelight.She nearly pranced around the men, with all taking at least a slight interest—all except Nayland. For a moment, he cast a glare her way, and in response she sent one back…twice as piercing.He turned his head and with a sort of victorious smile.She smugly seated herself beside Darshun.Nearly drooling and lost in a daze, he said nothing.“Are you all right?” she asked.He shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s just I have never...never—”“Dar’s never seen someone so beautiful,” Mythaen said, cracking a smirk.Darshun blushed and wanted to hit him.“Aww, thank you, Darshun.”Feeling too embarrassed, he didn’t say a word, only smiled ridiculously, like a child lost in dreamland. Not to mention his stomach was in knots, or at least, that’s what it felt like.“Boy you are beginning to stray,” Nayland growled.Darshun fixed his eyes on him, the expression on his face changing to anger. He sat directly across the fire while the dancing flames in between Darshun and Nayland seemed fitting for the moment. “What are you talking about, Nayland?”Glancing at Aurora and then back to him, he answered, “You know of what I speak.”“I know nothing of you! Only that your company has been an irritation from the start.”
