Prometheus

PROMETHEUS - ANAGNORISIS

I never wanted things to be like this you know, I never wanted to have blood on my hands, but life didn't give me a choice, born a 3rd son to a peasant family, joining the military had been the only chance I had to earn a living, maybe have a halfway decent lifestyle, find a good wife, have a child and settle down with her one day. But at some point, I started to have these dreams, if you could call them that, and everything started to change. “Prometheus…who is he?” I said to myself as I closed my notebook and went to bed. *** the story of Prometheus anagnorisis covers the story of Ithax, a young peasant boy who enlisted into the army out of no real choice, forced into a world of power struggles between multiple species and human kings and nobles, Ithax will have to figure out his own purpose for living…will he be able to find the peaceful life he wanted or will forces beyond his reach keep on pulling him back onto the battlefield. *** Prometheus - anagnorisis, is something that I started thinking of around 2 months into college after I had understood myself that there was no way I would be able to continue writing my previous novel at this point, and I spent a great deal of time thinking about world design, and stuff like that, I only finally got time to pen things down by the time my first semester ended, and I can say for certain that this is my best work to date. the novel will be divided into 3 parts, of which I will reveal only the first one for now, ASCENSION, covering the start of Ithax's journey. The name Prometheus - anagnorisis itself is supposed to be a mystery for those of you who are interested in why I chose the name, as the story goes on you will slowly understand the meaning of the name. I won't reveal much in the synopsis here, as everything that I can say here would act as a spoiler, which would ruin the fun of a novel like this one.

The wind whispered through the trees, carrying with it the memories of a time long gone. Images, once a beacon of honor and strength, flashed before his eyes. Faces, twisted in anguish, haunted his every waking moment. The pain of betrayal, etched deep within his soul, fueled his desire for retribution.

In the midst of his struggle, an encounter with her stirred something within him, a glimmer of hope in the abyss of darkness that had consumed his soul. With each passing day, power and vengeance no longer held the allure they once did. Evan surveyed the chaos he had wrought, a surge of conflicting emotions washed over him. Regret mingled with anger, giving birth to a profound sense of self-loathing. Had he become the monster, would that person despise him? Was vengeance truly the answer?
