In a world not our own, Nel-Radin, history is also a heavy word, meaning that much happened, much is happening and yet more will happen. This story begins in the year 3'404 according to the Kastosian Calendar, in the small village of Gimvault, with a boy named Mayen who has no idea of what is happening beyond the stage of what he can see and understand. May it be politics with its wars, a strange and ominous creature with its deeply shrouded intents, or a prophecy speaking beyond the immediate promises it gives, a hard lesson is to be learned by Mayen. Faith and hope are the sturdiest walls and roof in the tempest of a life gone out of one's control.

**TAKE NOTE**
Characters in this book are meant to be in part the product of the culture they live in, meaning they won't hold to today's ideals or defend all the same causes we do. It is also meant to allow in future books some stories on social reforms.

In the prophecy, it says that the reset would take place in about years later and in those years the Earth would shake and the world would be enveloped in darkness while the Lord purge the evil on Earth. A little shaken at the thought he shrugs it off and continued on with his daily life thinking it was just one of those people who wants to seek attention. Months passed and the Earth was indeed shaken. Countless news about powerful earthquakes sprung one after another that led to the death of numerous people, reminding him of the post on social media. People on social media are theorizing what is happening, some think the world is changing that it's the work of reconstruction of geography and also because of climate change, some people say it is the Underworld trying to open a path above to wreak havoc on Earth, some even say that the shaking is caused by God's way of resetting the world back again little by little.

For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!
Little Altar Boy by Fallen_Angel104
22 parts Ongoing
He looks nothing like his African mother, but is the spitting image of his controversial father. Our Anti-hero and sorcerer, the mystic Rasputin's only son and foretold successor, Vladimir, who grew up in a Monastery, battles his inner demons with ambivalence about the world of holiness, seclusion and purity, as opposed to desire, power, love, and revenge. Based in a fictional world of magic, wizards and sorcery, and heavily inspired by the assassination of Grigori Rasputin in Russia. 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.
