Twin brothers Frei and Qionne are separated by a cursed mirror. The younger is forced to shoulder the burden of the throne, while the older must learn to have courage and return to his world. In their wake is an empire at the brink of war, and a dark wonderland that cages the most horrifying of creatures. Amidst their circumstances, a darker force threatens to tear apart the world of Terra. Fate searches for tools in the princes' possession; tools that can either save or destroy everything the brothers hold dear. For the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life are what controls the hearts of men. And only the Maribagoth can save Arcana from the menacing darkness. ... ... ...

An epic adventure, an unreliable narrator, an intense cast of characters. Follow a digital subroutine from a 21st century Earth VR simulation that uploads himself into an advanced synthetic body, yet still identifies as human, when he wakes up on a gargantuan space freighter piloted by a 100-year-old sperm whale named Jonas, who offers him a job he can't refuse. There are monkey eating lizard men, diamond scout ships, galactic witch cults with hordes of genetically altered space wolves, a naked tattooed female stunt bike rider, puppies, a gang of reincarnated save-the-whalers, an Israeli spy general, Inuits from the 1800s, hulk bodied Zero-G commandos, rainbow squid, indestructible rust robots, an aging biologist trapped in a young girl's body, secret oceans in the storage decks, technology hating narwhals, acid guns, giant wasps, red lightning electric samurai swords, Ursa Minor Gnomes, a nebula belching wormhole, and of course, sperm whales: social big brained computer geniuses and the best starship pilots in the galaxy.

In the islands of Vijayas, magic and monsters abound. Here, victory does not come to the strong, nor to the swift, but only to the sly. And Tikum Kadlum might just be the craftiest of them all. A former timawa and all-time scoundrel, the man himself is no stranger to the arcane and the mysterious things hidden in the Great Archipelago. He's been through it all, betraying and scamming his way from one adventurous caper to the next. Now, he just wants to return to his hometown with his daughter, Ukok, and live a peaceful life. But things are about to change when the Black Dog starts a cat and mouse chase against Amburukay, the queen of the manghihiwit... Follow Tikum and Ukok journey through the lands of Vijayas and avoid the clutches of a sorceress with a grudge to settle, steal from a powerful babaylan and her bagani sister, slay hungry monsters, fight against bandits, outsmart a cunning foe, escape from a few killers here and there. And perhaps, defeat someone as strong as a demi-god. AUTHOR'S NOTE: This novel is a mash-up of sword and sorcery and dark fantasy set in the Pre-Colonial times of the Philippines long before THE SONGS OF STRIFE story. With excerpts from A Study of Our Baganis by Lamberto Aguilar. Also this will be posted in RoyalRoad under the same username. Disclaimer: Some names used in the story are taken from the Suguidanon Epics of Ilo Ilo and Panay. But they are, in no way, accurate representation of the actual characters of the epic chants. If you like to read short stories with overarching arcs this one is for you!
