About the Oracle of the Icy Land
"Have you ever heard the voice of God?"
After the cataclysm event known only as the Nexus, the face of the world was changed forever. The laws of physics have become optional parameters, the flatists are apparently right, and logic has left the discussion.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, a certain archipelago appeared. According to some, it has been there since the dawn of time while for others, it was not there 5 years ago. All agree, however, that its antiquity is only one of the smallest mysteries surrounding this place.
To the north of this famous archipelago lies a certain icy country. A veritable wasteland filled with creatures hostile to all life, including their own. One might well wonder what human beings with all their mental faculties do there and yet, defying all logic, thousands of explorers went there every year. The reason? A rumor, some shady story. Someone would have found gold there, black gold hidden under thick layers of ice. A veritable sea, as they were told. It was said that there were so many of them that the ice there was black.
Seeking to escape his boring ordinary life, Henry Windshire decided to set off in search of adventures and riches. But things didn't go his way – waiting for death in the inhospitable land, he met with a young girl only known as the Oracle and her mysterious cult. Trapped in the cold land her reached hand saved him, his family, and his allies.
But did it truly? Slowly the adventurers are consumed by disbelief and fear while the Oracle preach without end. Disappearences, madness, and the voice of God in the background. The adventurers have reached the end of their travels and their story may never be told.
[This is going to be a short story with short chapters.]
