《Nimrien》Prologue
Advertisement
The view from the top of Wente Tower was spectacular as always. Nimrien flourished in the springtime, with lush green foliage blanketing the land and climbing up the mountainsides. Wildflowers dotted the landscape with splashes of blue, purple and pink, accompanied by the rise and fall of faint birdsong.
“Good boy,” Bartok crooned, stroking the hound laying on the cushion beside his chair. “You’ve been so quiet and patient today.”
The hound yawned and stretched, displaying a flame flickering ominously in his throat.
“What do you think, Astus?” he continued. Astus sat up, scratched vigorously for a moment, then cocked his head to the side, almost like he wanted clarification. Bartok smiled at him and went on. “Do you think the stories are true? Should we intervene?”
Astus sighed, letting out a puff of smoke. He arched his back luxuriously as his master scratched between his ears.
“That’s my good boy,” Bartok murmured. “Yes, we will intervene. We can’t have things going on as they have been forever, can we?”
He reached out to the side table for some parchment, and wrote a message detailing the matter at hand: the existence of a certain grimoire, an ancient and highly valuable tome, hidden somewhere in the wide expanse of Nimrien. It was a message deliberately designed to appeal to the greed of its recipient. He took care to extol the great wonder of the grimoire, its rarity, its beauty… and its value. The grimoire was priceless, in more ways than one.
With a snap of his finger, he summoned the messenger out of the shadows where he had been waiting. “Take this to Lerastir,” he ordered. “Deliver it to the Collector. There will be no need to wait for a reply.”
As the messenger hurried off down the mountainside, Bartok stroked Astus again. The hound sneezed, the flame in his throat igniting more fully and setting the fringe of the cushion alight.
“Things are about to happen in Nimrien, Astus.” Bartok said, not even blinking as he put the cushion out with a wave of his wand. “Things are about to happen, and you and I are the catalyst.”

Sector 27
It wasn't until June 3, 2101 that World War 4 ended. This was not a war that ended in peace treaties or truces; this war ended with disease. The atomic war caused plague and disease that crippled major countries. The generals and great leaders of the countries at war died from the radiation that penetrated every part of the globe. It was only then that humanity realized what they had done- what they had created. The first ever mutant was publicly executed the very day the war ended, and a new war began: the war against mutants. The surviving nation of Japan quickly rebuilt their country by dividing it into safe zones, or Sectors. There are currently 26 livable sectors in Japan; Sector 1 is the richest sector and the only sector that has completely rid itself of all radiation left over from the war. In fear against the threat of mutants, the once small section of the police force grew until it became the main police force in Japan. After all, humans shouldn't be blamed for crimes when the real threat to society is mutants. This police force that goes by their motto: Special Treatment Against Mutants (STAM) is comprised of agents that go about their work to capture and detain all mutants. Sector 26 is the poorest sector that humans can barely survive in; but there is one more part of Japan. This "dead zone" has such a high concentration of radiation that if a human were to step inside the barrier, they would die in mere moments. But within this dead zone, this 27th Sector, there lies a secret organization of mutants that fight against STAM and protect all mutants from their grasp. The Mutant Recovery and Protection Agency (MRPA) operates to hide mutants in society and allow them to live human lives. The only thing that stands in MRPA's way is STAM and its agents who hunt them down ruthlessly, so MRPA has their own set of skilled agents. And the battle rages on...
