The Abandoned Blood

In a world where magic is tied to bloodlines, power is everything. The Von Schwarzenwald family, feared and revered across the continent of Elyria, has long held dominance through their mastery of ancient and powerful magic. But not all legacies are forged in strength—some are born of darkness. William von Schwarzenwald, once a man cursed with a weak bloodline, clawed his way to power through forbidden dark magic, corrupting his very soul in the process. His ambitions knew no bounds, but the price was steep. His third child, Elias, was born the night his wife, Lady Amara, succumbed to a mysterious illness that drained her life force. Seen as a disgrace to the family, Elias grew up in the shadow of his father’s power and his siblings’ brilliance, discarded and forgotten. Now, years later, as the Von Schwarzenwald family’s power reaches its zenith, the dark past that gave rise to their empire threatens to unravel. Elias, the overlooked and forsaken son, must navigate the dangerous web of family politics, magic, and his father’s monstrous ambition. But as he uncovers the truth behind his mother’s death and the curse that haunts his bloodline, Elias will face a choice: succumb to the legacy of corruption or forge a path to his own destiny. In a world of dragons, demons, and ancient mysteries, Elias’ journey will take him from the towering halls of his family’s estate to the uncharted lands of Kyrios, where the greatest secrets—and dangers—of the world lie in wait. "catalyst of darkness" is a tale of family, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim one’s place in a world where power rules all.

In the bottom of the Darkness

Throughout my life, I was always captivated by all the television shows that consisted of short stories. I always found it pretty clever how they put in fantastic stories, in thirty minutes or an hour. My initial references were "Twilight Zone", "Amazing Stories", "Night Gallery", among others. Of course, over time that continued with current shows like "Black Mirror" and "Room 104". On the literature side, this started with the short stories by Stephen King and Charles Bukowski. That later continued to evolve with other authors such as Lovecraft, Jorge Luis Borges, Clive Barker, among others. Thanks to these influences, I decided to take the step of starting to write my own short stories. These stories were written throughout my life. While I was developing them, little by little, I polished, expanded, or shortened them, depending on the situation warranted, and this is how this compendium of stories was born. "In the bottom of the Darkness" is simply a name that occurred to me, since many stories have a dark foundation, concept, and approach. I wanted to find a rhyming title and that's what I came up with. Initially, I wanted to write basic horror stories, but the problem is that I could not come up with original ideas. When I came up with one, I realized that it was quite similar to those of Stephen King or another author. So I started to work in another way, to discover how to make a more authentic story. After some time racking my brain I was able to get it and here is the result. The stories are varied, mainly there is a bit of dark realism, magical realism, horror, fantasy, eroticism (do not worry, it is moderate, it does not become pornographic), among others. Each story touches a different theme, using a different genre, which makes this compendium very varied and dynamic. I hope you enjoy it...
