《Nin the Seeker》70 - Nin the Seeker (End)
Advertisement
Eitin was an energetic young rabbit, always hopping here, always hopping there.
All his life he’d heard stories of Nin, the rabbit prince. The great prince from Eitin’s warren, the great prince who’d left long ago on a pilgrimage to find the ultimate boon for his people.
Nin! Oh, how Eitin admired Nin. The stories of Nin were great fables, of a handsome prince outwitting foxes, besting bears and befriending giants. In the stories Nin was perfect, he represented the best of all rabbits; strong, brave, quick and clever.
Oh, how Eitin longed to meet Nin. He often thought of leaving the burrow in pursuit of Nin, following in his footsteps, tracing the path of his pilgrimage. Maybe they would meet, and together they would slay demons, travel to distant lands and uncover the hidden truths of the world—
One day when Eitin woke, all the warren was in a flurry of activity. He stopped a passing rabbit as they hurried by and asked them what was happening. The other rabbit told him the news: their prince had returned! Nin had come home!
Eitin pushed his way through the crowd to the central burrow, hoping to catch a glimpse of the long-lost prince.
But the Nin before him barely resembled the clever young prince from the stories, the stories that had lulled him to sleep as a child.
Nin’s once perfect fur was marred by his time in the desert. His back was scarred, his fronts paws were oddly bent. His hind feet were rough and calloused from ceaseless hopping. The tips of his ears were missing, lost to frostbite. His tail was no more than a thin wisp of orange.
Yet despite these things, his face seemed permanently etched with a small, infectious smile. Inquisitive eyes had been replaced with knowing ones. He still hopped like a young rabbit. But Nin was old, very old. Flanked by a white rabbit and a black rabbit, he explained to his countrymen that he had come home to die.
And although he never outright confirmed that he had obtained what he had sought, to Eitin it was more than obvious that Nin was no longer a seeker. He was Nin Siddhartha.

8 138Keepers of the Neeft
The Indigo Empire has conquered half the world’s nations, their people, and their gods. According to its citizens, old and new, the rest of the world will follow. In the capital of the Throne-home, the Imperial Academy produces the next generation of great leaders to drive that expansion. Cadryn Bence knows he will be one such leader, he’s overcome his common birth, mixed heritage, and every other obstacle to be the top of his class. He dreams of glory on the southern front against the Gravanik States. He will not be finding it. Instead, if the glory he expects. Far to the north, lies the unassumingly named North-Eastern Extreme Frontier Tower, a backwater post if ever there were one. Through the machinations of the Emperor’s state religion, and a cult within it, Cadryn will find himself on his way to this first assignment. On the frontier, Cadryn will discover that neither his campions, nor the Neeft itself, are what he expects. Follow Cadryn on his journey to discover many truths: about himself, about the Empire, and about the very world he call home. ****** Keepers of the Neeft is a (bit dark) fantasy story revolving around Cadryn and his journey of discovery. There’s a fairly wide cast of supporting characters (his fellow Keepers) all with their own reasons and motivations behind how they came to be at the Neeft. Current release plan is to have part 2 completed, then fully edit up till the end of part 2. I am in the process of editing the earlier content as I complete the updates/re-writes. Apologies for any rough content in the meantime. My primary objective with Keepers of the Neeft is to work on developing content flow and establishing a community of people who enjoy my writing style. I write SF/F and horror as my primary genres, Keepers is actually my 3rd novel length work, but my current project. Updates of new Content will currently be in the form of one larger post on Tuesdays.
