Venturing

Evan Smith never imagined war. As a blacksmith’s son, he was a quiet boy from a quiet village, content to live his days without venturing beyond home. But when the empire’s banners turned inward and enemy boots crossed the border, his village became nothing more than a battleground between two merciless forces. Families disappeared. Silence replaced food. Soldiers, both foreign and familiar, came not as protectors but as plunderers. There were no heroes or rebels, only commands to obey… or graves to fill. With nothing left to bury and no place left to flee, Evan embarks on a journey he never wanted — through war camps, ravaged towns, and dark forests, searching for something even he doesn’t fully understand: a reason to keep going. What he discovers is a truth no child should ever face — The world’s cruelty doesn’t come from monsters, but from men. In a land where hope is forbidden and justice forgotten, Darkness Beyond follows one overlooked life through the slow, suffocating death of peace, questioning whether an ordinary boy can still decide what kind of man he will become… when all the light has vanished.

They say that 90 percent of the world's oceans have been unexplored, due to just how much floor there is to cover. Imagine a world where, instead of deep trenches of water, our oceans were filled with forests—endless forests—where the further you go, the stranger, and larger the creatures become. The air growing thicker, and heavier, with the stinging sharpness of ozone; trees that stretch into the stratosphere, or bottomless muddy quagmires that are so deep that the bodies claimed can never be discovered; deer the size of whales, or bigger still, with an anomalous number of legs; the oppressive daytime darkness, never ending, due to the boundless appetite of the trees. Who knows what untold methods of ravenous mutilation might be discovered in the great beyond; or what unfathomable treasures lurk just beyond the shadow's edge. We find ourselves marooned in little islands of flat plain in the midst of miles and endless miles of oppressive wooded wilderness. Do not let the sunlight fool you. There is nothing keeping the terrors of the depths from venturing into the light.
