Intro: The Fallacies of Vision Series

The Fallacies of Vision. Ignorance, false light. the distortion of what is real and what you see before you.

Arda. Middle Earth.
A place of fairy tale endings and heroic beginnings full of the old magic of the Iluvatar. Where all good is celebrated, all evil cast away; for purer and sweeter purpose of peace and brotherhood among races. Do you believe that?

Arda. Middle Earth.

A world of mystery and hidden danger, where the very ground you walk on could be a fabrication of your own disillusion. Where every fantasy becomes so easily, so dangerously believable.

They live in a lie…but can you bear the truth? Can you leave your fairytales behind?

Book 1: Mesmerize me

By: Furia

~Prologue~

Have you ever heard of the town of Carraleu?

Today, only ruins remain. Abandoned now, no one has ever returned to the shadows of that region. The place that invoked so many hard memories and haunting visions. How the orcs marched through their dirt streets, how the water of the lakes turned into blood, how everyone else seemed to act as though nothing at all was wrong. But ultimately…

When the fire left nothing but a wasteland.

How that fire started still stands unsure. But there were a lot more mysteries about that night, some a great deal more obscure.

There were rumors about a little girl, who screamed in the likeness of the shriek of an eagle taking flight. Rumors about her, and her disappearance in the fire. It was only after she cried out that anyone started to notice that there was indeed still someone else trapped in the flames. She stood there, almost like a vision and was never seen again after. No one was ever sure, she could have wasted in the burning hell around her, or she could have escaped.

But after that earsplitting scream (in what some thought to be in fear and terror), came purple lightning that shot out to the flames. It crackled with pure energy and power that engulfed the fire in its brilliance…blinding those crazy enough to stop and stare. Those crazy curious enough stood shocked and bewildered as all the fiery carnage dissolved into smoke only seconds later. Revealing their once glorious town to be now only black smoldering ruins.

The fire had gone, and as so, the strange display of power. So had the small girl who had stood trapped in the flames.

But nowadays, it is hardly spoken of anymore. A memory at most, long forgotten.

This is where our story begins.
