In this tale, European mysticism meets African Obeah, also known as African black magic. Follow along as Rasputin's mixed race children avenge his death in a battle not of good and evil, but of desire, chaos and confusion. Will Vladimir escape the monastery, his holy prison? Will he want to? Will he work together with his Obeah practicing black mother and sisters or turn against them? Will he find true love? Read to learn more! *Disclaimer* This story is NOT an accurate description of History or Russia, instead its based in a fictional world that is heavily inspired by Russia, and the life of Grigori Rasputin, but does not reflect the actual events of his life or death. The places, events and time period of these events are also not in line with actual history and some places mentioned do not exist. This story is not intended to address Soviet Russia or any political concerns related to the region. It's very superficial in its relation to the culture and language. I wanted to have as much creative liberty as possible and create my OWN take on historical events through the realm of fantasy. Also, I am not from Russia, and my knowledge on their culture and language is superficial at best so you should really go to a more reputable source if you want to learn more about the interesting history of the people. To learn more about this fascinating historical figure, please do your research! Reality is sometimes even more intriguing than fiction.

When the sun goes down in Ki-Gompa, on the Sipiti River valley, in Tibet, the grand Himalaya begins its lament. The wind plays hide-and-seek through the labyrinths between mountains and valleys. But, as night falls, all, including the river and the rock, the swift flora and the scrublands become mute in a collective pensiveness. I had never heard such fruitful, talkative silence. On my bed, the floor itself, covered with a mat and a fur blanket, silenced the heart beats coming from Mother Earth. It was like everything had really stopped working, as if we all had died or lived in a timeless dimension. My chest dialogued with the chest of the broad valley. My brain conversed, silently, with an also silent universe's brain, and my blood talked with nature's blood. This way, we felt asleep effortless to be woken up by powerful mantras from monks searching for a way to escape from life's noises and insistent questions.Perhaps I'll never return to the Ki-Gompa monastery, or, maybe, I was never there.
