Today I’m excited to share Jennifer K. Marsh’s\u00a0Times of Old<\/em><\/a>, the first part of the\u00a0Ilimoskus\u00a0<\/em>fantasy series.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTimes of old are leaving, my friends; know that soon it will be the end\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Living amongst the humans of Earth is a race of beings unbeknown to them; they are Ilimoskus, the elemental folk: beings of fire, earth, air and water. They are a most peaceful race who lead uneventful lives in harmony with nature, but one fateful autumn, the Flamikus (fire folk) feel the ground tremble beneath them in tension they have never before endured, and troubling concern starts to linger.<\/p>\n Throughout this ever-growing tension, Fii\u2019dezrhu Reotum \u2013 a rebellious Flamikus \u2013 discovers a momentous secret he then acts upon by venturing to the forbidden human lands; while there, he inadvertently reveals the Ilimoskus\u2019 existence to one young girl. Little does he know that this sets in motion the beginnings of an earthquake so great, it will result in gruelling searches, confounding ambiguities, painstaking truths and heart-wrenching decisions. In time, both humans and Ilimoskus will watch the world they once knew crumble around them.<\/p>\n You can download\u00a0Times of Old<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>from Amazon<\/a>, Barnes and Noble<\/a>, Kobo<\/a> and iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Excitement roused within himself and he wanted to share his discovery with Nax. And he would have, had he not suddenly heard Gnotsu\u2019s words echo inside his mind:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2018But if your urge for misbehaviour is too strong and you cannot resist it, Fii\u2019dezrhu, I strongly suggest that you leave Nax\u2019pala none the wiser to your plans. If anyone should be avoiding trouble right now, it is he.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This sudden recollection of Gnotsu\u2019s words crushed Fii\u2019dezrhu\u2019s spirits, for he shared everything with Nax, good and bad alike. But, despite this, he obeyed Gnotsu\u2019s words. It hurt him to do so, for he was keeping a massive secret from Nax. A dangerous secret. A secret that could cause catastrophe for him if anyone else knew what he was doing, what he was planning. Perhaps, then, it was for the best, for enlightening Nax on such a monumental discovery would surely make him want to participate, and he could not possibly in his current confused and fragile state. Fii\u2019dezrhu knew this.<\/p>\n \u201c…You don\u2019t know that,\u201d said Fii\u2019dezrhu, subdued, after a long pause for thought.<\/p>\n Nax did not answer, just simply looked at Fii\u2019dezrhu. This time it was he who was examining the other\u2019s expression.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know,\u201d Fii\u2019dezrhu said, \u201cif Kaidoyrr Allo does grant you permission, which he will, you are unable to refuse if it\u2019s in your bloodline.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know…\u201d Nax mumbled quietly. \u201cI can\u2019t help but feel so guilty and awful for feeling the way I do about being Dook. You have no idea what it\u2019s like, Rhu. There\u2019s all this pressure on you before you even understand why, everyone looks and treats you differently because \u2018you\u2019re the Dook\u2019s son<\/em>\u2019. Everyone knowing who you are, everyone expecting you to be someone you can\u2019t be!\u201d He covered his face with his hands, hiding from the world.<\/p>\n Fii\u2019dezrhu wore sad eyes while looking at his friend; much distress radiated from him. Nax was right, he did not understand, but then Nax did not understand what it was like to be him, either. \u201cYou\u2019d be surprised how many long for your life,\u201d he said gently.<\/p>\n Nax separated his fingers so that only his eyes could be seen for a time, but he then moved both his hands away from his face completely. He wore a soft, yet remorseful expression, taking his time before speaking. \u201cWe come from different worlds, you and I, yet we aren\u2019t really all that different.\u201d When Fii\u2019dezrhu met his eyes, he smiled kindly.<\/p>\n Fii\u2019dezrhu smirked to himself. \u201cI\u2019m the leogesso, triuvo\u2019so scum of the holid while you\u2019re the son of a Dook. Different worlds indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYour destiny was cruel by taking away your parents.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJust as yours is cruel by trapping you somewhere you don\u2019t want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To read the rest of the story, download\u00a0Times of Old<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>from\u00a0Amazon<\/a>,\u00a0Barnes and Noble<\/a>,\u00a0Kobo<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can find more from Jennifer on her website<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today I’m excited to share Jennifer K.
