Welcome to the twin worlds of Ramnor and Rimnor: lush, beautiful, and magical. They are also the center of the Maker's universe, the cornerstone on which all of Creation is built. If one, or both are destroyed, then Creation itself will begin to unravel.
And destruction of those worlds is the goal of the Lords of the Abyss, masters of the shadows that haunt the edges of Reality. To that end, they long ago gathered a vast army of demonspawn and made their war on Reality, defeated at the last possible moment by an alliance of mortal races and by the hand of the Creator themselves.
Despite their defeat, the Lords have not given up trying to destroy all of Reality. And now, tens of thousands of years after their initial defeat, they once again threaten to destroy everything that ever was.
Except this time even fewer will stand against them. And they themselves don't even know who they are, and what they are fated to do. Can this meager handful discover their destiny before it's too late and all of Reality dies in demon fire?
Join heroes from the Humans, the Elves, the centaur-like Quada, the cat-like Muraan, and the fish-like Picea as they learn of their fates and struggle against the vanguard of evil that threatens to wash them away in the first book of the Sons of Ironstorm Chronicles, 'Griffon's Rise'. I hope you enjoy.
Aurrynthea Shadow's Fire (or Thea for short) is from my own book Demonality. Thea is a half earth Dragon-half fire demon. Cursed in the womb she is unable to take her Dragon form, her only Dragon attribute is her large black Dragon wings. Her demon blood means even though she is emotionally immature she is physically mature. The heir to the throne of Hell, she is usually guarded by a company of fire demons specifically chosen by her father for their loyalty - but due to her wings Thea often ditches her guard detail. It is during one such flight she catches the eye of Jerome - a visitor to Hell.
Jerome is a Lunid and the creation of Nox of Van Syl Production. (https://www.deviantart.com/van-syl-production/)
He is a powerful creature of darkness and a descendant of one of the oldest noble bloodlines of Lun on Terra Aluvis. He lives a life full of pleasure and joy. With captivating blue eyes and long deep black hair he is an androgynous beauty and a master in the art of seduction. He has wings which he can be materialized when he chooses that allow him not only an air of power but also flight.
Jerome cherishes sensuality and beauty above everything -the stronger the sensation the better. He is used to getting what he wants. He is obsessed by the desire to dominate everything and everyone. "Hunt. Conquer. Control." This is his creed. He sees Thea and decides he wants to play with her.
This is a fan-fiction piece that takes place in an alternate timeline before the beginning of Terra Aluvis and before Thea meets Jon in Demonality.
My sincerest gratitude to Nox for sharing his creature with me... and allowing me to play with him.
