Introduction
The universe is full of anomalies, many can be explained with a childlike logic, but one thing is for certain: Scion exists. A planet of innumerable isles scattered across a sea so brutal that merely a handful have found their way to new lands. It is unknown when this planet came to be, how life came to spring from its brutal fluids, but it exists and that is possibly the greatest, if likely the only, truth its inhabitants can hold faith in.
Nobody on Scion can recall when the sea became so brutal. Untold ages ago all races of life could travel between the isles. This is but a fantasy to most now; creatures so large they seem as if they could consume the sun traverse the bottomless seas. Energies of darkness spew from spiraling whirlpools causing cyclones of air so powerful that they pull the sky itself into their gaping maw. Relative safety lies only upon the land.
The lands are protected by great lords, beings blessed by the very Seraphim that formed this planet, or so they say. It is quite a paradox that beings so great would protect the lands; yet be vexed by the sea. An eternity later, many have forgotten that anything laid beyond their isles, believing that they are all that exists, isolation amongst countless civilizations, a sick joke indeed.
A small handful have found the truth, able to traverse the sea by some perverted logic, they have seen the reality. The darkness and the light, they’ve seen the eyes of the great Tantarus and survived, eyes so large they look like glimmering cities of pearl; a beast with pupils so massive that the sight of one feels as if they are peering into the very depths of absolute darkness. Most are corrupted, their minds warped beyond return, but a small few try and bring peace to the sea. This is the tale of Scion, a planet amidst the stars that houses mystery, inevitability, and the dark reality of space.
The Isles of Scion is a project I’ve been working on and off on in various entertainment mediums over the last 5 years or so. I’ve finally settled down and begun writing the first book. Currently titled “Isle of Bellum: On the Precipice of Darkness” which is the first volume of the Isles of Scion series. I hope by the end of it to produce a very long series of books that enough people enjoy to make it all seem worthwhile. Which in perfect honesty will not need to be that many people.
It’s a difficult project indeed considering the high levels of difficulty with writing for me. As a person who did not respect the time they had in early education I have had to learn most writing skills on my own and it has been an endless battle with various barriers.
If you are interested in joining the reading group for the regularly updating first run of my story feel free to send me a message or leave a comment. I’m not as likely to add random people however I may make exceptions from time to time.
So that’s about the gist, I am not trying to start a religious movement (as the name may sound) but instead am just a fellow who’s trying to found his own fantasy universe. Which I hope becomes popular enough to inspire others to add their own fan material to the series.
