The First Candle

Martin Longbow is a content village minstrel, in a post apocalypse world, ignorant of the most important millennium mystery. An ageless dark Demon prince Agares (Agoth) and his legion of lesser demons are the anathema to humanity. Martin is introduced to the new reality by the savage torture of his best friend and must gather with allies both physically and spiritually to try and redress a lack of wisdom. His quest will start with a flight to an unexplored monastery where he will be both saved and abused. Ignorance is a shield against the very real creatures set out to kill him. He is not the great planner, fighter or leader but a servant candle that good men and women rally to aid: Alison,a maiden of wood lore, Mist a savage fighter, Sam a village leader, and Alex a black Sheik of the desert. Even the bold leader of the Hamstrut dwarves, Bromsten would offer aid, for which many brave friends would perish in the swamps of the demon Shigatsat. Some would take a voyage across an unknown sea to find the mythical Touljeane knights and Princess Lorna. The allies must defeat the teeming minions of Sax Mantis. Ultimately they will try to humbly enlist the aid of the mighty Cherubim and Seraphim to help forbid the growth of the unworldly demon menace.
