Description: [edit] [history]

"The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they're just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow's arse."

- Kendric Farrow

Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow's body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father.

All the while, Skyle's heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother.

Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery!

The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for?

The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world?

It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them.

Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough?

Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world.

Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not.

New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.
