Kelim and The Necromancer (The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane) While searching for his lover's killer, The Pink Necromancer crosses paths with a love sick Pixie hell bent on doing whatever it takes to win the love of a Lilac Fairy. Quaraun ignores the Pixies request, until he realizes the Lilac Fairy's father is the man he's been looking for. The evil Necromancer hatches a plot to take everyone's souls and heads, by granting Kelim's greatest wish. The Adventures of Quaraun the Insane follows the everyday life of The Pink Necromancer, a Moon Elf wizard, whom was deemed “insane” after murdering his wife and children, in an attempt to resurrect his dead lover as a Lich. The series is set on an alternative Earth, that is mostly real Earth, with magical races and magic elements added, spanning from the year of Quaraun’s birth 800A.D. to the year of his death 2525, and as he is a homeless travelling wizard for hire, the stories can take place anywhere. Also known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish aka SunTa, Quaraun lives a double life as the last female Thullid (Lovecraftian-type female alien JellyFish), whom has eaten the brain of male Moon Elf Quaraun, and is living in his reanimated corpse passing herself off as him, while she hides her 7million eggs in his skull, waiting for the right time to implant them in Human hosts and turn the world into Thullids. I started this series in 1978 and in the 43 years of writing it, it now spans 200+ volumes containing 2,000+ short stories. Which means it could take me a few years to get them uploaded. Plus I’m still writing new content for the series weekly as well. uploads will be a mix of old and new writing. I don’t know how many of them I will be uploading here to Royal Road or how frequent uploads will be. I will plan for 1-x-week and hope for 1-x-day. I plan to upload these as multiple collections on a “theme”. This one, “Kelim and the Necromancer” features stories set BEFORE the events of "The Night of the Screaming Unicorn" (a previously published paperback novel, that is largely considered Volume 1 of the franchise) but after the events of "BoomFuzzy" (another previously published paperback novel, that is generally considered Volume 3 of the series and is also my bestselling novel, it being the one which sold 57million copies, many, many years ago). These include his interactions with Kelim and other characters from Kelim's hometown. Possible Trigger Warnings: The series contains mentions/scenes of drinking, drug use, strong violence, suicide, and violent murder. NOTE: Each “chapter” is its own short story that stands on its own. The collected chapters, as a whole, tell many facets of the events surrounding Quaraun’s life and the lives of his friends and family. As such, the “chapters” do not progress in a linear beginning to end fashion, rather, they move forward and backward in time, including time travel portal travel, and flashbacks. The full series spans a time period from 800A.D. to the year 2525, with stories zipping back and forth to any era between those years. This means you can read each “chapter” on its own, in any order, without reading the ones before or after it, or can read them in any order you please, if you choose to do so. It’s lots and lots and lots of short stories about one character and his friends and family. Every main character with in each story is somehow a friend or relation to Quaraun, even in the stories Quaraun himself does not appear in. I’ve tried to make sure editing was complete before uploaded, but some typos or grammar errors may have slipped through. If so, I’ll edit those as I notice them. Note: American English is not my native language, and this series uses Scottish English spellings and grammar. As this is my first time uploading to Royal Road, I may not have formatted these early ones correctly. If so, I’ll edit and try again. I hope you enjoy reading this series as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Many hugs, from EelKat
