Dawn of Blood and Shadow

An erotic fantasy epic

Chapter 1 by CxSeth CxSeth

In the beginning, The Shadow waited.

The Light Lord lit up the stars and the sun, and The Shadow waited behind them. The Protean breathed life into the seas, and The Shadow waited at the bottom. The Mother planted the forests, and The Shadow waited beneath them. Wherever the gods worked, The Shadow was there, silent, patient, plotting.

The Protean created The First Ones, ancient and powerful. The youngest of The First Ones, Kraken, consumed The Protean, and was imprisoned for its sin. The Mother created the fairies and her wife, the Goddess, created the elves. The Goddess gifted both races with a drop of her blood, granting them an ounce of divinity. The Light Lord created the humans, and placed in their hearts a burning flame, to drive them ever onward and warm them in their wintry home.

The Shadow was weak, and created nothing, but vowed one day to rule over all.

The gods were weary from the act of creation. The devotion of the mortal races, they knew, would restore their energy, but it would be slow. “Five thousand years of sleep,” The Light Lord said, encasing himself in ice, “And I will return to my people.”

“Five thousand years,” The Mother agreed, taking her wife’s hand, “And I will return to my forests.”

“Five thousand years,” The Goddess agreed, lying down next to The Mother, “And I will return to our children.

“Four thousand years,” The Shadow whispered, “And I shall reign alone.”
