“Beyond this realm are things the mind cannot comprehend, and dying is often the only way to understand them.”

Twelve years ago, a tragic incident robbed Sam of everything he cherished. Forced into a world beyond the living, he’s having a hard time saying goodbye to the life he left behind. When Sam’s guardian offers up a position to help maneuver spirits, he jumps at the opportunity, hoping that by keeping busy, it will help him adjust to his new home in the Absolute. 

Now, Sam spends his days assisting other spirits on their own journey through the realms of Elysium, where he guides the deceased with a strict set of policies. Unfortunately, everything changes once a young woman appears with no memory of who she is or how she arrived. Breaking every rule set forth by the Guardians, Sam is determined to get answers. 

With the help of his colleagues, they set out together for the grand city of Akasha. However, like everything in life, so goes the afterlife. The answers he’s looking for will lead them to an evil that has been contained for centuries, but is now on the brink of escape.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark
1 part Complete
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

Peace. Peace is subjective. If one were to truly think about it, peace is not possible without the suppression of something. While this sounds bad on the surface, there is a reasonable justification for such a thought. The world rightfully chose to suppress the wrongful urges within us because we knew that it would bring us peace. The past is simply a reminder of the repressed darkness within, and, with such erased from our minds, we have no presumptions made towards one another; we are in peace. When those come against our peaceful ways, they too must be suppressed. But who decides what is darkness and what is not? Who decides what should be suppressed?
