The After Dark Stories

Well another installment of the After Dark Stories. I suppose chronologically this takes place right after the Infernal Army. The thinking process into these stories either happen spontaneously or after some long thought. This one was ready right after I wrote Infernal Army. As for the next installment it might take some time since it'll cover two characters at the same time. So without further adue I present the third story in the After Dark series.

Immortality has long been the goal of mortals for ages. Various research and quests have been undergone to attain such a goal. For angels and demons who are able to live long lives naturally have observed the struggles of humanity. Since the time of the Dark War only one young man has ever attained long life. His name: Shen "Seal Breaker" Marquis the A ranked hunter. The only mortal to have ever found the Elixer of Eternity. The Elixer of Eternity made from the fruit of the tree of Devern which was destroyed by the Chaos General Selpha, was supposed to grant the drinker eternal life with only a single drop. However to Shen's discovery he finds that the elixer only granted him the life span of that of a angel. This discovery has been both a blessing and a curse, Shen is now able to live his life with his fiancee Rin as a regular human but his clan whom he had shared the elixer with is now beginning to die out.

As Shen sees his family and friends slowly pass away he worries about the future of his clan. However upon his return to his village he learns of a group of Blood Fallen (seal warriors specializing in blood spells) who have developed a formula for the Elixer of Eternity. Only this time the potion will grant one eternal life. Now a young warrior must find and stop the Blood Fallen who are creating the elixer. The quest becomes more than stopping mortals from gaining the power of a god, but to realize though humans may grow weak and frail with age they pass thier strength to the next generation.

When does the future begin when eternity ends?

After Dark Stories: Theory of Eternity.

I have to say this story has a good title. Next time in the After Dark Stories, Naoki and Tristan "Beholder" Chin
