《The Sword Maiden》Prologue
Advertisement
Mireille Kloeter scrunched up her fists and held them tightly against her chest. It wasn't because she was particularly nervous, anxious for the day ahead or just barely struggling to hold back her tears of groundless distress — is what she told herself. No, rather, she was just calmly and methodologically recalling the contents of the many textbooks in her travelling bag. That's why she had eyes closed, too. To focus. And also why she was mumbling to herself in an unbroken chant.
“. . . My name is Mireille Kloeter. I'm pleased to meet you. You can rely on me for the year ahead . . . My name is Mireille Kloeter. I'm pleased to meet you. You can rely on me for the year ahead . . .”
She was good at lying to herself.
Incidently, she was also good at pressing new clothes. Exceptional, even. Her uniform was so crisp that her skirt had refused to bend when she initially sat down. Even now, she could feel the hem resolutely digging into her thighs. Poor uniform. It was the only thing more stiff than she was.
A short burst of chimes brought her to her senses, followed by a crackling above her left ear.
“This is the North Line Rapid Service to Imperial Plaza, calling at Carnelian District, Eudialyte District, Amber District West, Jade District. We are now approaching Carnelian District.”
Mireille did her utmost to exhale her myriad of worries away. She then opened her eyes and faced the windows beside her.
Her wispy bangs were partially reflected in the glass, the strands curling whichever way they wanted. She ignored them. Even if her uniform was battered into submission, her hair was a battle she'd long surrendered to. What she paid attention to were the last vestiges of Garnet District streaming by, an indistinguishable blur of burnt bricks and red granite mouldings, with the exception of the old parapets peeking between the rooftops. They were just a solid grey. An unending brush of dullness from one end of the district to the next.

Mireille was thankful. Grey was good. Dull was good.
Settling back into her seat, she clasped her hands together in her lap.
And then, she whispered a short prayer.
But not for herself.
“. . . I hope she's doing okay.”
Mireille opened her palms. A silver bracelet twinkled up at her.

A cataclysm occurred in the world, which rolled back its development for many centuries. The power in it returned to the church, because otherwise, as the "2nd coming", the event that destroyed the earth, cannot be called. A big war is brewing, humanity has already mastered all places suitable for life, and the rulers are trying to expand their possessions at the expense of others. Our hero, Marzio, lives in one of the free Italian towns. He is the bastard of a major feudal lord who made his name in the war. His mother, despite her righteous lifestyle, practices quackery. For which one day, on an unremarkable and ordinary day, she is sentenced to death. Seeing the burning of his own mother and losing faith in people, Marzio begins his journey. Thanks to the connections of his small family, he escapes from the city and, together with a trade caravan, moves to another city, where he plans to enter the academy and become stronger. Along the way, he contacts people who call themselves "diggers" - plunderers. So, he finds himself in the ruins of the old world, which was much more developed and finds more and more evidence of the terrible secret of the true cause of the fall of the world, which the church so zealously hides. But the second coming gave not only the suffering and wrath of God, but also monsters from mutated animals. In a fight with them, he falls into the eyes of the detachment of the sacred order, after which they, having estimated its potential, take it to themselves and, with their patronage, he enters the academy. At the academy, he meets new friends, and his origin is revealed there. Since he is the only male descendant, he can claim the title and possession of his father. Thanks to this, our hero receives a certain amount of attention from the opposite sex. After training, Marzio learns about the so-called knowers who are aware of the artifacts of the ancients and how things truly are. New prospects are opening up for him, but also new dangers. He becomes part of the squad that helped him. And using modern for us and futuristic for the Middle Ages, small arms are engaged in protecting the secrets of the church and persecuting a group calling themselves apostates, who want to reveal all the cards that will drive the world into a new branch of chaos and the fight against the regime. As cover, his order sided with minor rulers to fight the old-fashioned way and maintain the balance of power. More and more secrets are revealed to Marzio, and a serious intriguing game unfolds behind him, into which he is sucked in with more and more force. But the hero is the hero, in order to grow and cope with the twists and turns of fate, he stoically withstands all trials and even not knowing about the threats from the east and another continent continues to go forward to meet his fate, for the sake of freedom, revenge and struggle.
