The Children of Yakub
A Dark Fantasy: Front Matter
© 2013 James LaFond
Under the Near Sun
It is the Year of Advent 9999.
Doth is Defender of the Reach, Seventh Hand of Ascension, sitting the Cataract Throne.
No one remains who might call him Doth, his family having willingly descended at Advent on his Empowerment Day, confident that he at least among their kin would Ascend.
His subordinates address him as ‘Defender’, a reminder of his place among men.
The Five Intermediate Hands of Ascension name him ‘Seven’, a reminder of his place among men.
The Intercessor, First Hand of Ascension, declines to address him, a reminder of his place among men.
The Chiefs of the Reach, whose fearless sons he has sown the fertile banks of The One River with, name him 'Reap', a reminder of his place among men.
Doth is a man quintessentially alone.
This is his story.
