    The Outcast and the Survivor: Chapter Seven

    About this ebook

    After weeks of journeying south, Yori, Wade, and Kaela arrive at Vanguard, the northernmost fortressed city of the plains seeking Mavyn, an enchantress with knowledge of the world stone's true power. But to find her, they must first infiltrate the stronghold without catching the suspicion of those who protect the city.

    The Outcast and the Survivor is a chapter-series that follows Kaela, a princess of the mythical kingdom of Kalepo. After her father's sudden death, Kaela is exiled from the kingdom by her older sister Mariam, who claims their father's throne within moments of his passing. By being made an outcast, Kaela is forced not only to say goodbye to her homeland, but also to all of civilization. Kalepo is known only to itself, meaning that Kaela should expect to find a world devoid of humanity beyond the kingdom's borders, but because of something her father whispered to her on his deathbed, she knows that there is more out there, a world of dark secrets for her to discover.

    The Outcast and the Survivor is released one chapter at a time at the start of each month. There were times in the past when writers would release stories as a series, often for newspapers or magazines. It's not much different from TV series in that each chapter often has its own sort of conclusion, though the larger story is not completed until the end. The series is being written with the intent of ending it at chapter 36, which is scheduled for December of 2017, though this could change as the story develops.

    Author

    Trevor A. A. Evans

    Trevor wrote a story for himself when he was young divided into three parts: go to college, become a lawyer, and be happy. But when the first part was done, he stood at the edge of a cliff, staring down into the despairing depths of part two, and thought, "Nahhh." Instead, he skipped right on over to part 3, which he discovered creating stories and worlds while marrying the girl of his dreams. At the ripe old age of 29 with plans to write new series in fantasy and science fiction, Trevor's just getting started.

      Chapter Seven

      The weeks journeying south passed without trouble.

      That is not to say that danger did not find us, but as safe as Wade kept me before, he and Yori have made an even more formidable pair. We encountered a number of beasts on our way, great cats and reptiles, as well as other creatures I could hardly describe, but my two protectors led us around all of them with ease, or through them as necessary.

      At first, this seemed reason enough for why Wade had insisted we needed Yori, but there is even more. Wade is a fugitive among the fortressed cities along the River Lethe we seek entry to. It’s not that many people will recognize him, but there’s risk enough that we need someone who can slip in and out of the strongholds without arousing too much suspicion.

      Yori is a ghost, a memory that even the old will not recall. I was shocked when he told me it had been over fifty years since he left this land the rangers once had
