Humanity is riddled with tales of happiness, grandeur, loss, and despair. Life is akin to an adventure of sorts, so every person has a story to tell And, over the milennia, I imagine that if the earth could talk, we would begin to see it as one vast library.

A poem inspired by the picture that is the cover. Enjoy!

It All began in a dream. The Era where man thought the impossible could not be achieved. That the only one that can ever touch the impossible was God himself. However, that Era is over. The Era of Man Begins. It all began in Locke's Dream. This Dream set Locke in a path that was meant to be fufilled. Everthing else was just a prologue for him. It is time to start the real story. It is time for the World's Beginning. *****Cover Art By: Sentrythe2310******

Kingdom Syphix had a special reputation for having a demon as a citizen. That may have been why they kept the Scourge around in the first place, considering the kingdom turned into a tourist attraction because of him. Even with all of the popularity they were getting, the demon was never praised. While the rest of the gladiators showered in affection and riches, the Scourge was ridiculed. Nobody would want to care for a being that could kill a hundred men if he had the mind to. Atlas Syphix, the daughter of the corrupt king, started going to the coliseum to watch the violence because of the boredom she had sitting in her palace. One day, in particular, she saw a gladiator that was nothing like the others. He was muscular, tall, and intimidating. He was everything that a common person wasn't. Atlas had her eyes on a demon, but as the king forbids The Scourge to experience any form of social interaction, she would have to talk to him in secret.

Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com
