KAGEJASPER
"To find peace, one must peer into the heart of discord. To bring an end to war, one must spread bloodshed throughout the lands. For their voices to be heard. For rage to overcome the miserable lives of those too weak to fend for themselves. My children...you must kill the pain." - Ink Witch
* * *
The continent of Totaris is slowly suffocating under the merciless thumb of Lord Vaashill. Once prosperous lands are squandered and pillaged, homes burned, wives and children taken, all men alike slaughtered, and corruption seeps into the bones of many. Totaris seems bound to a cruel fate for many years to come.
Until the Night of the Black Moon.
Darkness cloaks the moon, a thunderclap fit for the gods shakes the earth, and darkness rains from the heavens, tasting of blood and ink. Screams of horror unravel... and three families become smaller, each losing an infant to the hands of something unknown. Something powerful. Legend calls it the Ink Witch. These chosen three children are trained under the witch's wing and adopt a foreign breed of magic that makes the boots of many quiver. To the world, they are known as the most fearsome warriors imaginable--Inklings.
Now, the Inklings must fulfill the Ink Witch's dying wish--to slaughter Lord Vaashill before his power spreads beyond the border of Bane Forest.
