Back in the saddle again …
Well I am well into the editing process of “book two” more accurately referred to the Development of the People – Fragment Two of the Demon’s Wrest Chronicles. Now that certainly ‘sounds’ impressive, but in fact it is simply a snapshot of a small portion of the two races that share the world of Maenatae and more specifically the Sardistian Reaches with the remnant of humanity in or about the year 24993C (24,993 years since creation) which is around 21,200 AD here at home. Yeah, that is way off in the future. I suppose that my writing of events so far into the future makes me a sort of “glass half full” kinda guy. Many see doom, gloom, apocalypse or what have you in our future. I see mankind rather in the light presented in the inspired and divine writings of Exodus. We rise to heights of glory and enjoy the most savory of fruits and then forget how we got there and who it is that allows us refuge at such lofty heights. So we fall into the abyss. It is at the time of lost hope that men define themselves as reaching out to the Creator. We seek forgiveness and an opportunity to once again lie against his breast. We look to rise again to be what we might if we are permitted.
Mankind has a gift which rarely does he access. That gift is the spirit which was gifted him at creation. A particular notion comes to mind when I think of what we are capable of as a people…
“And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6
This work is in no way a complete look at such an expanse of time rather it chronicles a number of key events so that I might order events properly for the other works that I have in mind later. You see, I have so much rattling about up there in my head that if I do not record it then I am likely to not properly reference it later when I write the books I have in mind dealing with the latest of the Dukes of House Scarlotti, Vincenso Marcuso Scarlotti.
More on this as the edit draws to a close.
