Love, Despair, Fear, Ecstasy, Insanity, Pride, Desire, Fury, Hate, Apathy and Altruism. These are what make you human, and yet also what you carry as a burden. In moderation, they are the foundation of our being yet, in excess, they are what can lead to our self-destruction. The Consortium are the incarnation of these feelings within us, reapers who regulate life and death on our Earth. But who exactly are they? What are their motives? Are they angels of death or salvation? Only time will tell.

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche The last survivor of an elven genocide. A masked person with an unknown agenda and a blade at the ready. A boy. A tragedy. A group seeking happiness. The quaint village of Nook was a place of peace, harmony and love. Dominated by a religious theocracy in the midst of the industrialisation of the various colonies of humanity, Nook fell behind the times. In such an insignificant place in the grand scheme of things, an event transpired that would shake the world for years to come, and likely will continue to do so until our lives are no more, and we are but dust in the ground. This is the story of Nook, and it begins with the simple tale of a farm boy called Rel. DISCLAIMER: I DID NOT CREATE THE IMAGE USED AS THE COVER.
