Synopsis: Earth and Skye

Beyond the realm of man, lies a parallel world where magic is real and mythical creatures roam the land. This world is inhabited by the Skye people, an ancient race identical to humans but blessed with magic and cursed with immortality.

Deep underground in a magical experimentation facility a nameless Scientist discovers, by, accident something that Reality’s Creator had intended to be impossible. A way to our world. As news spreads rapidly across the land of our existence, Emperor Kai sees only an opportunity to extend his domain. Confident in the military strength of his nation, he declares war on Earth.

Emperor Kai, unequivocal leader of his country also possesses charge over over the Cloud army; an elite band of mercenaries trained in the destructive arts and armed combat. This force is commanded by the vicious General-ess Iniura. Below her reside the 3 Captains, each a master of their chosen discipline. The Captains each have their own Vice-Captain and a regiment of soldiers at their command.

In a short amount of time, Skye’s forces are assembled and the Emperor’s personal guard prepare to open the gate between worlds.

In the battle between the immortal magic wielding Skye and the raw determination of mankind, has the outcome already been decided?

Excerpt: Earth and Skye

As dawn broke over the plain, light spilled across the blood spattered grass like egg yolk. The stench of death hung heavily in the air and two armies faced each other over a field of contempt.

The battle of Earth and Skye.

The war had begun the day before, but both armies had retreated for rest once dark had fallen. Night had since been chased away by the morning and they now stood afresh – ready for the new skirmish.
