Every soul tastes death.
    
    At the moment we are born, Death begins his walk. He makes no hurry, for he has all the time in the world.
    
    Throughout our lifetimes, the only thing we can be sure of is that they will end. One way or another.
    
    But what if Death's pace suddenly ended? 
    
    What if our numbered days suddenly became limitless?
    
    The Empire of Arlenia is now drowned in death, plagued by a deadly civil war that has gone on for seven bloody years.
    
    Just as the violence reaches its peak, the death count drops from dozens dead every day to zero. No one finds themselves able to die, no matter the injury.
    
    The empire drowned in death finds itself drowned in life.

Gamleon's Tail    ~ Welcome to the worlds of :  Within ~ by Cicada3300
14 parts Ongoing Mature
I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

"With every book you read, the more depressing normal life becomes." - Astara Knight Astara Knight wishes desperately that she could escape the boring, normality of the world. She has always dreamed about magic and adventure. But when you start growing up, believing is hard when everyone tells you it's stupid and childish to do so. Especially when your parents act like you don't exist. One day her English teacher whisks her away to a world where almost anything seems possible, where magic is the normality. Adventures come with friends and maybe, possibly, even love. But when old enemies start to threaten the safety of Cornacapia, it's all up to Astara and her friends to figure out how to fulfill the prophecy that might just save them all. #First place in Fantasy in the Stellar Moon Awards #Third place in Fantasy in the Moonstone Awards
