Synopsis

Book 1 in the Nath'aniel Series
Mages, a subspecies of humanity which were forgotten to the pages of history. They were able to wield the energies of magic easier and quicker than any other group that attempted to learn the mystic arts on Earth. And today centuries, if not millennia, since their disappearance the Earth is different. We have planes and tanks, internet and radio. But it has other groups appearing as well. The Enhanced, people empowered through science to be better, stronger than the average person. And Mutants, those born with the rare X gene that grant them wondrous powers of varying application, that can trigger at any time. Sometimes at birth, puberty, or when you discover you wife and children dead in a trench. With some being as strong or stronger than an Enhanced, to people being able to manipulate metal and turn the various tools of the modern day against their user. But what would happen, when a group of these naturally Enhanced, the Brotherhood of Mutants, on the run from the law were to find one of the last bastions of the Magi. And perhaps the last mage.

This story is inspired by other Marvel fanficion, but takes concepts from outside of Marvel. This world is not the MCU, it is not the 616. It is a world inspired by them. Also it holds rules and mechanics inspired from the Fate Anime series, namely the concept of Servants. Humans empowered by myth and magic to be more than they are. This is novel 1 of a planned series, how long will it be I am not certain yet. But I did not want to just shove you, the reader, into a wild and twisted world, but rather build up to it, so some of you may see it as a slow burn. But hopefully for those of you giving it a shot, you will find it and the characters an entertaining distraction.
Sexual Content is ticked because there is sex hinted in one chapter of this book, but later books may be more blatant. (This is not smut). Gore is ticked because combat it semi realistic, super powered people will tear and rend normal opponents apart. Strong Language is ticked because some characters will be swearing.
Each chapter will be between 2200 and 2800 words, while interludes will be shorter (around 1500 words). [Note i do not include the chapter line nor the following two lines (the header) in my personal word count, so it may be about 15-20 word longer]
Updates will be on Tue, Thur and maybe Sat or Sun.
