It was LA in the year 2O21. A new underground theme park called "The River Styx" had just closed down. "Too many mysterious deaths and unethical methods to get people to visit it," the official inquiry had reported. Only a chosen few had managed to make the dark journey down 'hell's river" before its demise, and Angel would be one of them. It was her obsession about the attraction--and her own mysterious connection to it which finally got him to take the voyage. Looking back, it was that first day in the photo lab, while trying to get the young model's image more metallic on the screen. That's when Angel suddenly appeared to him in the flesh--her face next to his in the blue light of the monitor. So what was it about this girl, he wondered? Why did she so obviously seek him out romantically as one of the few to take that mythological journey? He would only learn those details while navigating the subterranean river with her--an answer to forever disturb his soul?

England: circa 1310 A.D. Few are blessed with the burden of foresight. Few could feel the wind changing, or see the skies darkening; a storm was brewing. For centuries, those with magic and those without lived together in relative peace. Alas, all good things must eventually come to an end. Twelve sorcerers, condemned to centuries of slumber, would soon awaken. During a time of religious reign, their awakening would be the catalyst that turned man against magic forever. So would begin the witch hunt, the slaughtering of magical creatures once awed. Some would perish; most would hide. Others would build an army in retaliation and the world would be at full out war. All this, with the threat of a dark cult hellbent on resurrecting the one being that should not be resurrected ever looming. Indeed, dark times lie ahead. It has been said: “A man does not become great by having it easy; it is adversity that pushes him to greatness.” If that were true, then Tahir and his companions had enough adversity to become some of the greatest people ever to live. This is their story.
