When the Shadows Come to Life
The Rune Gates
Description:... For a man who grew up fighting to survive, there is nothing much that can really change his way of looking at the world. Dominick was an underground fighter. It wasn’t really his choice, but he was good at it. For an arena where the fights are always to death, corpses coming to life are not really welcome. But that’s what is happening in the whole world. When he escaped he realized that not only did he have nowhere to go to, there was nowhere to run from his old way of life. With dead coming to life, his way of life is what keeps him alive in the brutality of this apocalyptic world, where monsters roam freely, and when they die, they as well rise again. Living day after day with no real purpose, he keeps going forward, rejoicing in freedom that he possesses. But when a frightening foe strikes, he meets his shadowy companion. Never having anyone to care for, Dominick pours his heart and soul into protecting her. While searching for medicine for her fever, they meet a foe that Dominick never fought before. Discovering more about magic and his own abilities, Dominick unknowingly starts to change, for he now no longer fights just for his own survival. During their time spent together, they both grow closer, starting to care deeply for each other. On their way they fight for their life, while trying to learn more of the world and what it has become. After a fight with a goblin encampment, a mysterious person appears. He brings aid, and questions. He gives them time and place where to meet him next if they wish to learn more.
