<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><em>In the beginning, there were only the Gods</em>.</span><br/>
|
||
<span style="font-size:medium;"><i>Aeons untold passed as they drifted aimlessly through the Void, until they grew bored with this state of affairs. In their infinite wisdom they brought into existence Creation, but with Creation came discord. The Gods disagreed on the nature of things: some believed t<i>heir children should be guided to greater things, while others believed that t</i></i><i>hey must rule over the creatures they had made.</i></span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><i>So, we are told, were born Good and Evil.</i></span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><i>Ages passed in fruitless argument between them until finally a wager was agreed on: it would be the mortals that settled the matter, for strife between the gods would only result in the destruction of all. We know this wager as Fate, and thus Creation came to know war. Through the passing of the years grooves appeared in the workings of Fate, patterns repeated until they came into existence easier than not, and those grooves came to be called Roles. The Gods gifted these Roles with Names, and with those came power. We are all born free, but for every man and woman comes a time where a Choice must be made. </i></span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><i>It is, we are told, the only choice that ever really matters.”</i></span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><i>– </i>First page of the Book of All Things</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The sun was setting on a field of corpses.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Black passed by a group of orcs building a pyre, nodding absently when they stopped piling up logs to salute – green eyes swept over the bloodied plains, taking in the devastation the Legions of Terror had wrought. Camp fires were already burning in the distance, sprawled across the hills, and by the sound of it the officers had already distributed the night’s ale rations. He would join them in time, but for a little longer he felt the need to stay here. To stand in the middle of what a decade of planning had brought forth. Callow’s standing army had been annihilated today, over two thirds of their number slaughtered before they broke ranks. The Wizard of the West had fled, his power broken. Good King Edward’s head had been popped off like a bottlecap by an ogre and the Shining Prince had been mobbed by a company of goblins until one drew a red smile across his throat. The Kingdom of Callow’s strength had been crushed in the span of an afternoon, and Black would see to it that it never recovered.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“It’s getting dark out, Black,” the voice came from behind. “You should return to camp.”</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">It never ceased to amuse him how a woman the size of Captain could be so eerily quiet. Even decked out in full plate, the olive-skinned woman had been noiseless in her approach. If not for the other senses that his Role afforded him, he would never have sensed her closing in. Turning to have a look at his right hand, Black raised an eyebrow when he was presented with the sight of Scribe standing next to the woman in question. Unusual of her to wander onto a battlefield, even one where the fighting was long over.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“Soon,” he agreed. “Scribe, you have a report?”</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The plain-faced woman fished out a scroll from the bandolier hanging across her shoulder and handed it to him without a word. Breaking the seal absently, Black unfurled the parchment and scanned the lines. A moment passed until the barest hint of a smile quirked his lips.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“That should keep the Procer occupied for the time being,” he murmured. “By the time the fighting dies down we’ll have the border secure.”</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Handing back the scroll to Scribe, he returned his attention to the battlefield. The companies assigned to the thankless work of burning the bodies would have to work through the night, at this rate. He’d have to see about arranging a rotation when he returned to camp, if sufficiently sober soldiers could be produced. A tall silhouette striding forward purposefully caught his attention as the dark-skinned man it belonged to deftly sidestepped a pair of orcs carrying a log twice the size of a grown man.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“You could have told me we were having an after-battle get together,” Warlock teased as soon as he was close enough to be heard. “I’d have brought a few bottles, though admittedly the scenery’s a little morbid for my tastes.”</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Black rolled his eyes, though he caught Captain discreetly suppressing a smile. Scribe eyed Warlock with the same mild bemusement as always, as if she couldn’t believe the charmingly smiling man standing in front of them had been the one to call down a rain of hellfire on the enemy barely an hour earlier. Not an unusual reaction: sorcerers with that kind of power were rarely so jovial.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“Happenstance,” he replied. “We’ll be heading back to camp soon enough.”</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Warlock cast a look around, looking for the fifth member of their little band and coming up empty.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“Ranger’s already gone?” he asked.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“As soon as the battle was done,” Captain informed him.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The dark-skinned man grimaced.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“I didn’t think she would actually…” he said, trailing off after a sideways look at Black’s face.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“What’s done is done,” the Black Knight cut through, and that was the end of that.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">The four stood in silence for a long moment, watching the night slowly crawl over the fields of Streges.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“Ten years,” Black finally said.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">“Six, for the earliest ones,” Scribe disagreed quietly.</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">With a last look at the battlefield, the Black Knight turned away without a word and started for camp. Warlock slung a friendly arm over Captain’s shoulder, murmuring something that drew a smile from the much larger woman as Scribe methodically adjusted her bandolier before following. The Dread Empire of Praes may have won the war, but the clock was already ticking. The Legions of Terrors had made a lot of angry orphans through the afternoon’s bloody work, and in time that would mean one thing –</span></p>
|
||
<p><span style="font-size:medium;">Heroes.</span></p>

The order of those two statements is odd – is it Good for gods to rule over the creatures they had made?</p>

<p>I think Good and Evil are the paths the gods set man upon in order to get what they wanted, rather than actually applying their ethics to the gods in question. That is, the gods who champion Good aren’t necessarily Good – certainly different from many settings and classical mythologies.</p>

<p>Great correction, except for the “aeon”. It’s actually how you spell it. Both spellings (aeon and eon) are right.</p>

<p>I kinda of like that. Her Name (with a little help from Black) was basically lecturing along the lines of, “Anti-Heroes are not Anti-Villains, no matter how dark they go: quit trying for ‘Hero’. You can, perhaps, choose your level of Anti-, but we definitely need the ‘Villain’ bit to get anything done.” 🙂</p>

<p>As a person who enjoys reading dark fantasy, I’m glad that I have found this. Thank you for writing this. Thank you so very much.<br/>
|
||
Also, I can only assume that this rhyme<br/>
|
||
“Ranger’s already gone?”<br/>
|
||
“As soon as the battle was done,”<br/>
|
||
could only be an intentional piece of work– please confirm if I’m right 😀</p>

<p>When did you quietly change that second paragraph? It’s a good change, as far as I can tell. The book of a Good church wouldn’t encourage that association between ruling and Good, and encouragement and Evil. But it makes me wonder if that change is meant to encourage our misconceptions, or to represent theirs?</p>
|
||
<p>Evil has been said to encourage ambition.<br/>
|
||
Good has been shown to have strict rules about behavior.</p>
|
||
<p>Evil encourages conquest.<br/>
|
||
Good raises heroes.</p>
|
||
<p>It makes one wonder whether we hallucinated those lines between them in the first place…</p>

<p>I’ve decided to reread, and noticed a couple of typos this time through.<br/>
|

“That should keep [the Procer-> Procer/ the Procerans] occupied for the time being”<br/>
|

“The Legions of [Terrors->Terror] had made a lot of angry orphans”</p>

<p>That’s my…4th rereading? Anyone seeing this comment,whatever you think about the prologue or first chapter,just continue reading.<br/>
|
||
This story is awesome,so much good I don’t get why this is not already published:/<br/>
|
||
the first chapters are good and the story blew up and reach awesomeness around chapters 15 and continue to be more amazing the more we read.<br/>
|
||
I don’t have any money to give these days but when I do,I Will support this story and author.</p>

<p>“The Gods disagreed on the nature of things: some believed their children should be guided to greater things, while others believed that they must rule over the creatures they had made.</p>
|
||
<p>So, we are told, were born Good and Evil.”</p>
|
||
<p>Reading the story, I find that the Gods Below allow their champions (villains) to make their own choices while the Gods Above dictate morality.</p>
|
||
<p>The order of Good and Evil doesn’t seem to match the previous sentence.</p>

<p>The Book of All Things is the single most popular publication on the continent. Largely driven by early hand-written mass production by the House of the Light, more efficient publishing practices have led to common availability of annotated versions, selected passages, and inspirational devotionals being found in at any bookseller of repute.</p>
|
||
<p>Of course, in this context, “common” is meant to represent availability to the wealthy and people of letters, not the peasant rabble.</p>
|

<p>For more information, please seek my work, “Scholarship Through the Ages”.</p>

<p>I really want to read this one but the site is making is way too difficult for me. It’s like murder on the eyes for my dyslexia honestly, which is a shame considering I’ve heard good things about it. I just wish there was another place to read it which wasn’t so messy on the eyes, but since the author has been striking stuff like that down I guess I just won’t get much of a chance to read it</p>

<p>Rereading from the beginning, in anticipation of the next book. I noticed that here, it reads as if Scribe is a member of the band of five (SPOILER ALERT)</p>
|
||
<p>We learn later that she’s not one of the “band of five” that make up the Calamities. I’m not sure if this was a deliberate misdirection, as in Scribe is actually Assassin in disguise, but the way the chapter reads is that the band of five is Black, Captain, Warlock, Ranger, and Scribe, which doesn’t quite fit the established roster of Calamities.</p>
|
||
<p>(/SPOILER ALERT)</p>
|
||
<p>That said, what a way to start this whole glorious shebang off! A dire scripture reading depicting a world governed by gods that call to mind the Book of Job, followed by a meeting on a corpse strewn battlefield, where the victorious party is already planning for the inevitable next battle in the endless chain of struggle! What a great hook for the most Practical of Guides!</p>
