SHADOW GENESIS | INCEPTION - PART ONE PREVIEW



I… must… have… Dragon Age!

After watching this footage right here, I swear, I get that strong need to play… but like everyone else, I must wait until October for Dragon Age III: Inquisition.

By then, I should have my Ps4.

Meanwhile, been rebuilding Part I intro to SG:I. Apologies for not showing this one before, and just skipping to Part II’s intro preview… but hey, I did show the Prologue of Umbra Divinius of Dark and how he creates Shadara. Yeah… a straight ‘Genesis I’… sort of.

My novel is not Shadow Genesis for nothing, so I had to make it ‘work’. To make up for that ‘skipperoo’ I present Part I preview of SG:I, introducing Malice herself… and her ‘cute insomnia’.



PART I



A tiring sky calms its tears, easing the rain away for a coming siesta. In its wake, a lively luna above rests to a darkening light above a shroud of colorful aurorae, Eos Veil, tapering to a faint shining spread. A lazy mass of winking stars mingle in its spread, stars that could shine no brighter behind its tiresome hues. Captivating, for anyone bound by land can easily lose themselves in a marvel upon the millions upon millions of stars sprawled along its dark. It is to say, that the uncountable populace living in the world’s largest city more than likely failed to lift their heads. The busy streets of Centra, the capital city of Darkgear Prime, is notorious for its mesmeric sights, more so than what a stargazer would claim far best than the typical urbane of city life.

The central city’s popularity stems from the very heart of its outstanding form, housing Shadara realm’s great sovereignty, the Khan Dynasty.

The Khans retained a rigid declaration over the realm for many eras. History details an aggressive start to power, and like any rise to such boundless hegemony, comes the many falls and twisted perversions staining ones hands in irrefutable transgression. As these series of events emerge long before the coming of Shadara’s new crown, dark and ruthless than the now, each bit of indiscretion bears heavy and irksome in weight upon her shoulders. Last of her family bloodline, Sovereign Malice La’Shade Khan has a lot to account for. Her birthright is more than just sitting on a throne she rarely occupies, and more than just wearing a crown that she hardly fashions herself with. In her opinion, she did not care for material holdings notating her title, for those and more did not make her a world queen, but it is what she does in actions far greater than words. That alone shows how determined and entrusting she has become, believing in the words of those held dear. Their faith in her tenet gives her strength, including the support of her people quiescent beneath her far below in the massive city of lights.

She stood there bare foot over-viewing Centra’s majestic expanse, as far as her beautiful lavender eyes can see, and she can see to the ends of the city’s great gates tall and without a doubt teeming with her faithful guard. The soft falling rain no more, she did not mind the wet surface of her royal terrace. In fact, she welcomes it as few lasting droplets come shy of damping her deep lavender hair and rich mocha skin, including a whispering breeze playing her simple gown to dance in a tiny sway of innocence. Nice to her skin, enough to sooth her habitual thoughts on events then and now. Including one such musing currently claiming her mind in a frenzy of intense contemplation.
She could not sleep because of it, strangely enough.
Her studies complete with books open and stack upon a table inside, and her bed showing telltale signs of previous unstill stir. It is apparent she was once at rest before succumbing to a city trance and gaze, but something for sure haunts her awake.
She feels the answers to her persistent distress will come soon enough.
