《The Tale of A Fortunate Slave》Prologue "The Child In The Alley"
Advertisement
Moonhaven, the capital city of the Greater Kingdom of Albert, is being besieged by The Unified Queendom of Deamonia. Our story doesn't begin in a castle or fort, it begins in a alleyway, with a child crying in the corner, in torn clothes and wearing a deactivated slave collar. The sound of sword and shield clashing in the far distance.
Walking down the road a woman of royal descent and wearing war attire, spots the child in the alleyway and walks towards her. The woman thinks of murder but stops that thought as she sees the old and torn clothes on the rather thin child's back. Feeling sympathy toward the Kitsune child the woman asks a simple question. "Do you want to come with me?" The child looked up, the look of thought on her face. One simple nod was all that the child needed. "What is your name young one?" Another question. The child wrote 'Ash' in the dirt and that was all the woman needed to know.
The woman in royal attire was once like the child, alone and afraid. And yet she managed to unify the Daemon Lands into one Queendom. She is Orlia, Queen of deamons.

Determined to know more about himself and recover his memories, follow the story of a boy on a quest to reclaim his lost identity in a vast and dangerous world of grand opportunities, malicious individuals and magical intrigue. ---------------------------------- Hello there, this is a story I came up on my own. As an author, I'd like to interact with my community and get ideas and what I can improve on. I'm not perfect and don't expect a masterpiece. I may have a bit of experience writing as a hobby, I make mistakes and my style is a bit rough around the edges. I hope you stick around and watch me build this story up. I don't have a predetermined schedule and the releases will be slow. Since I got college, my schedule is most likely 1-2 chapters a month but that shouldn't be that bad since I get some time to think about what I can write in the story. Again, my apologies for that. I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
