The Wish Hunter Chronicles

PROLOGUE
Jack is my name, I am a wish hunter, my goal is to destroy the darkness that's stealing the stars from the wish hunters and avenge my fathers death, and if I jack wish die trying, I will have died for a purpose and I will be with my father once again...
CHAPTER ONE
It's been days since I’ve eaten or drank anything and the desert is getting hotter every second "I have to do something" I thought, and just then I saw a huge worm larger than ten mansions, it had twelve rows of giant teeth placed around the worm's circular mouth which seemed to suck up everything in its path. I unsheathed my sword and struck the vile beast with my blade and to my surprise the creature was not dead. How would I defeat it I did not know and if I die, I will have died for a purpose and that is my goal.

Quest

The chains, the cloak and the crystal, the three items only heard of in myths and lore. I am one of many whose lives were ruined by the items. Shall the warrior that obtains the items be crowned the king of Endors? The name Endors was the name of the man that discovered the items and became the first King of Endors. Now that you know the history of Endors and the three items they longed for, it is time you met the fourth.

“Keclen, time to wake up!” said Keclen’s mother as the smell of eggs and waffles drifted into Keclen’s nostrils. Despite his rude awakening Keclen believed he was going to have a good day.
