The Forsaken

 

Five characters bound by fate to endure, struggle and strive towards an ultimate end.

​

It is now as it has been since the beginning of time a continuous resonance with life itself.

​

Yet the resonance disturbed, ill-fated by the counsel of the wretched.

Only in the innocent can truth be found.

​

Thereby beauty unfolds itself.

​

For truth is the only beauty that can manifest itself in the hearts

of men as the guiding moral of complete resonance with himself and the ones around him.

​

Five characters faced with an inexcusable act of disobedience forced upon them by higher orders, by higher decrees.
