The clerical cloak given to him to confine him to the ways of The Moon God instead let Festor stay invisible as he quietly grew his rebellion. Festor's hidden alliance - called L'Sunder - seeks to mix both the cultures and divine magics of the world's major cosmic deities. The time has come for him to start pushing his initiative publicly, an effort for unity he hopes will change the world for the better. Or, in the eyes of the current head of a priestly bloodline deemed near-royalty, Half-Moon Davodson Lunik the Fifth, shatter the universe's stability entirely. Influential, wealthy, and relentlessly devout, Lunik is Festor's biggest threat. Conference after conference seems to bring the two rivals much too close for comfort, threatening to expose L'Sunder out from under the radar. Much as they want to believe it, neither party is wholly virtuous nor villainous, each finding the game - and their adversary - growing more complicated the more cards they play. Festor just hopes he'll make it out with the upper hand. I'm writing this story as a teaser for my visual novel Project Grandfather Clock - demo coming this winter.

There he stood, this goat, wearing a modified vest adorned in jewelry. Only a pet, toward the stone-face man sitting next to them. He sat upon a golden throne covered in jewels with engravings symbolizing love and compassion. A touch ironic, considering who owned it, who created, and who sat in it.

Three views, one tale. Voon-Sae was a desert city built by a theocracy, ruled over by the five Priests of the Sand. To some, they were benevolent and loving rulers. To others, they were liars and murderers, only seeking personal power. Those who saw them as such rose up, and brought them down, following the Martyr Merlo and his wife. But was he a hero, or a barbarian? Depends on who you ask. Follow along in this three-part tale, told by three heroes of each side of the conflict, and chose your side.

The Child King, ruler of the Twin Moon System, has executed the Cardinal Representative. The Arch Bishop's response; immediate excommunication. The knights, their squires, and a Scath assassin have been sent to deal with the Child Kings blasphemy. In preparation for the inevitable assault on his legitimate rule the Child King has named himself Head of the Church and violated the orders of the Pontiff. His Royal Knights, the Guard of the Child, have had their genetic coding re-altered to combat the effects of the true church's efforts to activate their loyalty coding.
