The Figment Wars: Through the Portals

There are two worlds, or realms if you will. There is the Realm of Reality, or the Human World, and there is the Realm of Imagination, populated by figments of our imagination. Bizarre animals, Imaginary Friends, Heroes and most unfortunately, the vile and loathsome Monsters we conjure up in our minds when we're most frightened.
Thomas Llewellyn doesn't know anything about this other world; neither does his brat of a little brother, Isaac nor their young cousin, Emily. They soon come to learn about the existence of this strange world when they are suddenly and violently pulled from their own by a turbulent vortex. Faced with having to prove just what they are, they must try to find a way home while all the while, someone plots to keep the human children where they are so that they can be used for a terrible purpose.

Thomas and Emily must master the powers they discovered on their first visit and use them to stop Magnus.

It seems, however, that the Realm of Imagination is not the same place they remember. Some consider the humans to be most unwelcome, and once again, there are things that Thomas and Emily are not being told. Can they find Magnus and bring him back to the human world? Can they trust the very people they have come to help? The Figment Wars have raged on since the beginning. Now it is time for them to end, one way or another.

The Aulverse

One Hell of a Paradise…

Ahh, the Aulverse, a world of wonder and anarchy, of entitlement and squalor; two sides to a very specific coin – the coin of this hellish paradise. Heads, and you might find yourself amongst the royals of the Kingdom of Bovidae; with their fancy horns and proper mannerisms, all groomed beyond perfection with silver spoons crammed so far inside their mouths it’s a wonder they can even breathe. Tails though, and you might find yourself in the slums of the Aphid Tunnels, surrounded by equally as oppressed insectoids, all born into slavery with no hope for freedom. Some have been known to find graces in their ill fate, just as others have gambled away their luck, life in the Aulverse however, just as any life, is what you make of it, so why not turn your back on the chain gang and the ivory towers? Why not venture out into No Man’s Land and peruse the diabolical Grisly Woods – really get that blood pumping? Who knows? You might even get to the bottom of the mysteries of this place, figure out why it is that one even finds themselves here, or how exactly, one might escape.

The Agarthians

Prepare to be captivated by a thought-provoking journey that challenges our perceptions and confronts the consequences of our actions. In this gripping tale, we are reminded that despite our existence being a mere blip in the vastness of the universe, our theories of evolution have perpetuated the notion of human superiority. Yet, within the pages of this remarkable story, we are compelled to acknowledge the grave consequences of our limited imagination.

Set nearly two centuries into the future, humanity is about to face a harsh awakening. It becomes painfully clear that every action we have taken, whether virtuous or wicked, carries a weight that cannot be escaped. The repercussions, whether inflicted by our fellow humans or something beyond our wildest imaginations, loom ominously. The time for regrets has passed, and the opportunity to sow goodness has slipped through our fingers. Now, we must confront the inescapable consequences of our wilful ignorance—a reckoning we can no longer evade.

Within this cautionary tale, the signs of our impending fate have been apparent all along, staring us in the face, yet we have chosen to turn a blind eye. The price for our negligence is now due, and the bill will be paid in full by every member of our species.

Ten Stages of Darkness

In a world plagued by loss and filled with everything she despises, Dawn embarks on a desperate quest for a better life. Miraculously, she is granted a perfect existence surrounded by the love of those she holds dear, including those she has lost. Yet, amidst the sunlit wonders of this new reality, a shadow lingers—the malevolent presence of Htaed, a relentless monster who stalks Dawn relentlessly, even infiltrating her room and haunting her every waking moment.

One fateful night, Htaed seizes Dawn, spiriting her away to the depths of their dark dominion. Here, humans are cruelly used as slaves, their life force drained until they become wandering souls, eternally trapped within the foreboding castles and grounds of Hell. To escape this harrowing realm, Dawn must endure a treacherous journey through ten stages, each one representing her deepest fears and those of her fellow captives. Only by conquering these stages can she hope to return home to the real world.

Yet, failure carries a grim consequence: should Dawn falter, she will be condemned to serve Htaed and the other merciless rulers of this lower kingdom until her spirit withers away, becoming just another lost soul in the vast abyss of torment.
