Chapter 1:

Chosen to die

Eyodar was watching the ocean as the wind was wispering near his hear. Although the peace of that ship, Eyothar's feelings were constantly hitting his head, as he remembered what happened that night: first, all the city burning. Then, Jeriah missing. He jumped through the broken window and began to run, but didn't find the one that got her. A drunk man of the ship's crew started to sing and distracted Eyothar, making him forget for some moments those terrible memories.
But then, they returned: the people running and crying in the streets, the houses burning and falling to the middle of his path, the feeling that he would never see Jeriah again... First, he lost his wife. Now, he lost his daughter. Without a warning, a tear apeared in his face and felt to the ocean. Eyodar felt sick and went to his little room in the ship. He tryed to sleep, but the memories of that night were still invadig him. A big piece of burning wood felt from the sky... There was no time to think... There was no time to evade it...
Eyothar woke up when the captain of the ship entered the room to tell him that it has finnaly stopped in the Ashlaam's harbour. He didn't remember when did he felt asleep, but decided to jump out of the bed so he could get out of that horrible ship as soon as possible.
He decided to go to Ashlaam beacuse when he woke up after his faint in the buring city, a group of people that were taking care of him told him that the attack was made by a group of people that wanted to give an offer to their master: a mysterious ghost that lived in the Haunted Tower, an acient tower in Ashlaam. The offer was a group of 20 foreign children, and there was a big chance that Jeriah could be a part of that group.
He finnaly left the ship and started to walk in this new city. After a while, he decided to get some rest and entered the first good hotel he saw. Before going to his room, he decided to eat something, so he went to the hotel's bar. There, he heard a conversation:
'The Souldemons attacked another city, again.'
'Yes, I've already heard of that: they left the burning city with 20 children to offer to lord Worroc. Most part of it's population died, and the other will never see their children again! Poor guys!'
Eyodar's heart bumped faster, as he realised that what he heard could easily be true. His daughter was in a mysterious tower and was going to die so the ghost Worroc could have his offer.
