A NOTE FROM LM FRANKLIN

Hello,

I'll keep this brief, as I understand you're here for the story, not my author's note. Thank you for clicking on my work, and I deeply appreciate you giving it a chance. Though it may not seem like much now, I'm genuinely excited to see where this journey takes us. I've been diligently working on this project, along with another, and I'm thrilled to finally share "WarCasekets" with you.

"WarCasekets" is a tale I've long yearned to write, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources like Dune, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Berserk, Titanfall, Warhammer 40k, and many more. It revolves around Henryk, both the Druid and The Destroyer of the story. He wields steel and magic to defy a cruel empire, and you'll also delve into his past, understanding how this young man turned against the institution he was meant to serve for a lifetime. This is a progressive fantasy narrative, where Henryk's strengths, weaknesses, and abilities evolve throughout the story. I'm particularly eager to explore the character arc of Henryk and the rest of the cast.

If you've made it this far, thank you once more for giving this story a chance. If you'd like to support, any donation, no matter the size, would be greatly appreciated and will be reinvested in the novel. I have plans for full paperback editions and have enlisted a sound engineer to compose the novel's soundtrack. There's even a possibility of turning it into a manga/comic. Your support, big or small, will mean a lot to me.

As a college student juggling numerous responsibilities, including friends, family, a girlfriend, and a job outside of my studies, every bit of support is invaluable. I'll strive to maintain a schedule, but I won't overpromise on consistency. Expect new chapters to drop at 7:45 PM.

Thank you once again, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the story.

The call pierced the icy silence, a voice lost in the desolation of a world frozen in time. The relentless snowfall shrouded the two figures trudging through this industrial tomb, where machines of steel and iron once roared to life, but now cradled only the ghosts of their former purpose.

Deep underground, they sought refuge from the biting cold, the heat of concealed pipes radiating an eerie warmth that seemed to mock the frozen wasteland above. Their gloved hands groped through the darkness, guided only by the faint echoes reverberating through the tunnels, remnants of their ancestors' toil.

In this forgotten realm, the threads of time and space intertwined, obscuring the boundaries between past and present. Edward felt the weight of the ages pressing upon him, an inexorable sense of loss and uncertainty.

He turned to his companion, a man named Henryk, a friend bound by something deeper than mere camaraderie. In each other's eyes, they saw a reflection of their own souls—a brother, a comrade, a knight in a desolate realm. Knights of Mars, defenders of a dying race, the last hope flickering in the cold void.
