The Deceitful One

With the advent of steam power, mankind has advanced and ushered in the industrial revolution. This is the age of steam locomotives, automatons, guns, and cannons, as well as curses, magic, artifacts, and the occult. Hidden in the shadows are a group of extraordinary people who wield enormous power and strange abilities that normal people cannot even begin to comprehend. They are known as Transcendents! Bryan, a wily thief with a penchant for mischief, lost his parents at a very young age and was forced to live on the streets. That is until his whole life turned around when he was shown the Path to becoming a Transcendent. The Theft Path specializes in deceit and illusions. It can steal everything under the heavens. Even the powers, thoughts, and lives of others. Follow Bryan on his journey through this dangerous and treacherous world as he steals from gods and robs the mortals. This is the story of The Deceitful One. *** My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you're a fan of LotM—which I have taken inspiration from btw—you will definitely like my novel. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a novel so you might find some mistakes here and there. Just know that I'm constantly trying to improve. Cheers! *** https://discord.gg/ZwFUa2zM

Funeral

Sunday, 15th May 1581.

Wilmington Cemetery.

The atmosphere around the cemetery was heavy with the weight of grief as a large crowd gathered around. Due to the incident that had taken place a week prior, a large number of funeral ceremonies were taking place.

The people were all dressed in black as they came to bid farewell to their loved ones who had passed away. The air was filled with a sense of loss and melancholy.

As the mourners stood around the graves of their loved ones, the priest's voice echoed through the air, offering words of condolences.

Memories of the deceased were shared, as well as their stories of inspiration, laughter, and impact on others. The emotions were overwhelming as people continued to sob and felt the emptiness left behind by their deceased loved ones.

The funeral ceremonies for most of the members of the Silver Owls were over, and that included those of Henry and Emma. Now only one was remaining, and that was Detective Watson's.
