The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• The Shadow That Blinds All

A dark flash burst in the atmosphere.

Visible tremors of force zapped through the air repeatedly as the corruption of [Impurity] took over. The dark energy coiled itself around the fallen bird, whilst surrounding the kneeling Bearer with a force shield of its presence.

Then, like the wisp of wind or a flash of light, Talon burst into the sky. He impetuously sped into the Cranebirds attacking from above, his body tearing through their forms like vengeful mini-arrows shot by a pistolet prodigy. There was no time for the wild birds to react, Talon was just way too fast, a dark smoke of shadow exuding behind him as he glided murderously.

Spheris wanted to celebrate his partner's return, but there was barely the time for it, and his emotion — irritated rage — was already fixed on something else.
