Darkness. The ultimate ruler, the true One-Above-All. Everything starts from it, and everything returns to it eventually. People say that in your final moments, darkness seeps in your very existence, engulfs your whole being. They say it’s an incredibly relaxing feeling that takes you on your journey to your afterlife. They say that in the very darkness, the ‘nothingness’ your weary soul will finally be able to rest and relax. This brings up some very philosophical and existential questions. Do you even exist?

Follow the epic journey of Aiden, the last primal, a unique and ancient race as he finds his place in a strange, new world, filled with threats and violence.

This story (and the world itself) is something I started writing and creating 15 years ago, while I was telling stories with my friends in our regular D&D sessions. The world is a hand-crafted fantasy world, filled with history and lore that we created over the course of years. While I may be new to the writing scene, I will do my very best to bring you an enjoyable experience. 

Hope you enjoy the journey just as much as I enjoyed creating it.

The Last Primal

In a run-down unfurnished shack in the depths of the Slums district, a group of four were waiting, having a casual conversation.

The elderly woman wrapped in ragged red clothes was standing against the windows overlooking the dirty streets. Next to her, lying on the ground, seemingly asleep were a blonde-haired girl wearing a literal linen bag as clothing.

The same beggar she saw before all of tonight's happenings went down, was once again there, sitting on the mud, looking miserable.

Several seconds of silence passed between the group. After a while, the elderly woman released a heavy sigh, and while gazing out the window she spoke.

"Such an evil place… I can't even imagine what you had to live through, Scarlet."

Behind him, sitting against the opposite wall, a silver-haired boy and a fiery red-haired girl sat. The girl was tightly hugging the boy, afraid she would lose him once again if she were to even slightly lessen her grip.
