Download or read book The Terrans written by L.S. Worth and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demons and psionics, humans with telepathy and other mental abilities, have the initial advantage during the First Terran War. The traditional humans can barely maintain their ranks. The tide starts to change when humans possessing elemental magic, sorcery, and advanced fighting techniques join the fray. The humans acquire and solidify their advantage when several scores of psionics turn against their brethren and demon allies. The demons retreat before their species confront extinction. Their psionic cohorts have been exiled to the island west of Pangaea. The victorious humans offer the psionic defectors sanctuary on Pangaea. The adept mentalists refuse and sail south, pledging to live their lives isolated from humans, demons, and psionics alike. The Psionians, as the western island's inhabitants have designated themselves, forged a new society from the ashes of their defeat. They created a new psionic power source using leyaEUR"line energies not frequently siphoned by sorcerers and other mystics. The Psionians developed subdesignations so that each citizen of their new island home, Psionia, could broaden their individual identities and contribute to the greater community. SeventyaEUR"five years later, as the Psionians thrive in their new existence independent of nonpsionic humans; Ultimus discovers his father and PsiaEUR"Lord, Maximilius, in a coma. As Cratius, the Master Panacean, tends to Maximilius's cerebral wounds, Ultimus ventures outside the PsiaEUR"Citadel in search of answers. The next day, Ultrina announces to the Psionians that Ultimus had been attacked hours earlier. She added that the body could not be found and the remaining evidence allows for only one conclusion. Sorcerers had assaulted their PsiaEUR"Lord and perhaps terminated her brother's existence. The Psionians, out of grief, rage and anger, agree that Ultrina should lead their people and that a retaliatory strike against Pangaea should be her first act. What does she have in store for Pangaea's sorcerers? Will the humans not adept in magic, sorcery, or other mystic arts share in the sorcerers' suffering? What about the descendants of the psionics who betrayed the Psionians decades ago? Once the incursion commences, will they side with their psionic brethren or, like their ancestors, fight alongside the nonpsionic humans? The answers do not matter. Ultrina made one promise after the sorcerers' assaults upon Maximilius and Ultimus. She would have her revenge.
