Book excerpt: The Flaming Unicorn of the Ashen Volcano A fiery unicorn that lives in the arid landscapes of a dormant volcano goes outside to stop an impending explosion from destroying its home and finds fire inside it. Summary In the middle of a magical kingdom full of magic and mystery is a desert land shaped by a volcano that is no longer active. This harsh, seemingly empty land is home to Ember, a fiery unicorn whose mane and tail glow with the flames of the volcano that holds it. Ember is as unique as the land it's on. When strange signs show that the volcano is about to explode, threatening to destroy the empty plains and everyone who lives there in a huge explosion, Ember's peaceful life is turned upside down. Ember is thrown into an experience it could never have imagined when it thinks it might lose its home. On this journey, you will learn, grow, and stay alive. As Ember leaves the comforts of the pale fields, he finds a world full of magic, danger, and animals from mythology. Ember makes friends with a lot of strange people, but Luna, a phoenix whose life cycle of rebirth matches Ember's own, is the most important one. The friendship and unity they build with each other is their biggest strength. During this trip, Ember faces difficulties evaluating its bravery and strength. As it leads Ember through the dangerous Whispering Woods and solves the Ice Sphinx's riddles, Ember's adventure shows how powerful it really is. These tests not only teach Ember how to be strong physically, but also how to be brave, selfless, and have an unbreakable spirit. When Ember and Luna set the difficult goal of calming the raging volcano, they learn that strength alone isn't enough to get things done. Friendship and Page 9 of 40 being ready to make sacrifices for the good of others are also especially important. From the edge of disaster to the start of a new era, Ember's story turns into a legend that inspires everyone in the world. This story shows how important it is to work together, be brave, and always be positive. This description takes place in a fictional world where the impossible becomes possible and Ember, a fiery unicorn, becomes the hero of not only her own story but also the story of an entire planet. It tells a story of change, adventure, and the unbreakable bond between friends. Page 10 of 40 Chapter 1: Charred Lands and Flame A huge, empty plain lay in a mysterious area far away, hidden by tall mountains and thick woods. A big, dormant volcano lay beneath the top of this plain, making it one of a kind. Ember, the horse that was on fire, lived here in the gray and black volcanic ash that covered the whole area. Ember wasn't like other unicorns. It was stunning to see, with its beautiful hair on fire and moving like it was dancing in the wind. Its feet sparkled like diamonds as it ran across the ground, leaving a light trail behind them. The volcano had been dormant for thousands of years, but now it was Ember's home and a peaceful place to relax. There was a golden glow around Ember every morning when he woke up, as the sun was rising. Ember's fiery mane would catch the first rays of sunlight, making a beautiful show of brightness that stood out against the dark surroundings. Then Ember would start its day by racing over the well-worn paths it knew, paths that wound around rocky outcroppings that looked like the spines of a huge sleeping animal and around large fields of ash. Because of the warmth coming from deep in the ground, life grew even though the area looked empty. There were patches of bright red grass all over the fields, making for an interesting and beautiful scene. This grass, which was as red as Ember's flames, was eaten by it. It happily grazed, loving the warm ground under its hooves. The constant warmth of this place was a gentle reminder of how strong that person really was. Ember had a calm life. She spent her days thinking about herself and quietly looking into things. Ember liked finding new places in the large ash fields, and she would sometimes go near the edge, where the ash gave way to the solid, hard rock of the volcano's shell. From these spots, Ember could see the land around her, the woods that surrounded the white fields, and the mountains that rose high into the sky. The volcano was a scary, silent monster. Its rumblings were a memory, and its explosions were a dream. Ember had heard stories about how the volcano exploded and sent ash and flames into the sky. The stories were whispered through the ash by the wind. But that was a long time ago. In the harsh land around it, the volcano was a safe place to stay warm and a steady presence. Ember's life was simple but full of happiness. There was a wide open sky above, warm ground to rest on, bright red grass to eat, and nothing else. It seemed like its days had a natural flow, like the beat of its heart. Ember didn't know it, but her peaceful life was about to change. When Ember's new story was about to start, the volcano that had been keeping her safe in silence moved. Ashen regions were not the only places Ember would be going to on this exciting trip. It would take it into new areas and to a future it could never have imagined. As the days went by, Ember noticed a small change in the mood that made her think of something that was about to happen. The ground under its feet, which had been warm before, became hotter all of a sudden, and the air was filled with excitement. Ember felt something stirring inside her, like a spark of joy that meant something new was about to start, but she had no idea what it was. So, with its bright main light shining against the gray background, Ember kept traveling the empty fields, not knowing

Download or read book Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames written by Ross Clare and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents an original framework for the study of video games that use visual materials and narrative conventions from ancient Greece and Rome. It focuses on the culturally rich continuum of ancient Greek and Roman games, treating them not just as representations, but as functional interactive products that require the player to interpret, communicate with and alter them. Tracking the movement of such concepts across different media, the study builds an interconnected picture of antiquity in video games within a wider transmedial environment. Ancient Greece and Rome in Videogames presents a wide array of games from several different genres, ranging from the blood-spilling violence of god-killing and gladiatorial combat to meticulous strategizing over virtual Roman Empires and often bizarre adventures in pseudo-ancient places. Readers encounter instances in which players become intimately engaged with the “epic mode” of spectacle in God of War, moments of negotiation with colonised lands in Rome: Total War and Imperium Romanum, and multi-layered narratives rich with ancient traditions in games such as Eleusis and Salammbo. The case study approach draws on close analysis of outstanding examples of the genre to uncover how both representation and gameplay function in such “ancient games”.

Book excerpt: When I wake up at Locklear Academy, I have no memory of how I got here... or any memories at all. Oh, yeah, and did I mention that I'm dead? If I ever want to pass on, I'm going to have to recover my past. Easier said than done. But Locklear, aka Ghost Academy, specializes in helping spirits take care of their unfinished business. There are just a few problems. First, the X-ers, an extremist group whose main goal is to forcibly send ghosts like me into the great whatever beyond, painfully and without that sense of peace we crave. Then there's the polter-ghost who has been following me around since I got here. But my biggest distraction comes in the form of Rafe: a fox shifter with the most adorable dimples, carrying around way more guilt than any ghost deserves. Maybe I shouldn't have a crush in the afterlife, but I'm dead, not blind. As my memories start to resurface, so do the threats from the X-ers. The clock is ticking and every moment I'm here becomes more dangerous. Not just because of the X-ers, but because the more time I spend with Rafe, the less I want to move on.Ghost Academy is a YA paranormal academy / urban fantasy that will contribute to your reading related insomnia. This is book one of the Ghost Academy Duology and a spin off of Blakemore Academy.
