APOCANGELICA
The arrival of the Apocalypse is near. The angels of the Light and the demons of the Darkness struggle to gain a decisive strategic advantage: the “Omega Formula”, whose fragments are spread throughout the minds of seven humans, the “Forgetters”, unaware of being custodians of this mysterious wisdom. If, on appearances, the identification between the Righteous and the Wicked seems spontaneous, in reality the differences are less: the High Commands of the Light and the Darkness maneuver, in tacit agreement, so that nothing disturbs the status quo lasting for countless eons, moving their agents as pawns on a chessboard, sacrificing them without hesitation, in order to keep the illusion of dichtomy alive between Good and Evil.

***

Part I “Wild Beasts”
In the exhausting race for absolute power, Light and its loose splinter group, the Luminous Inquisition, devastate human lives without mercy. When the factions on field are entirely composed by angels, everyone does not seem to understand who is right or wrong.

Switzerland. Ada is the first of the seven Forgetters. She is a fifteen year old girl, locked away in a mental hospital by her parents, as her mental disorders got worse: the Von Hilkeneim’s Asylum. In between psychiatric sessions with a very renowned professional and the imaginary escapes to a primordial earth, The Pangea, Ada falls in love with Efreniel, an Angel who will fight for her, rescuing her life from other angels’ filthy purposes: Stormriel and his crew, who were ordered to kidnap her, to get the most desirable treasure from her mind: the fragment of the “Omega Formula”.

The Stormy Manor: Three lads, Jorg, Evi and Kurtz, will be involved in a youth indoctrination program, aimed to form loyal adepts to a reformed movement. The brutality of the training will make them open their eyes to the true nature of the movement, to which they had confidently entrusted their lives.

The Castle. In the background of an enormous castle, inhabited by fantastic and monstrous creatures, the stories of Ada, Efreniel, Jorg, Evi, Kurtz and the Stormriel’s hunters intertwine until a dramatic and perturbing epilogue.

Part I “Wild Beasts” is a full of action fantasy novel about lost innocence, delusions and redemption. It is the first chapter of five books’ saga, based on the eternal struggle between Good and Evil, where a distinction between the two is not that easy to see, if not even impossible at times.

The pentalogy of Light and Darkness

Part I

Quotations

“What does not kill me, makes me stronger.”

[Friedrich Nietzsche]

“The pain once again does not kill me,

the pain once again makes me stronger,

but tonight with this strength I don’t know what to do.

Really.”

[Akira Mishima -”Overminder”]

Prologue to Pentalogy

“Why all this? My God... We are about to kill some men!”

“That are going to kill some animals!”

“But...”

“That are innocent beings. Here’s why: to protect innocence!”

“But they’re only animals.”

“And they are are just humans.”

The girl lifted the barrel of the rifle upwards.”But carnivorous animals kill other animals to eat them. I mean, Sergeant Instructor, is in the very innate nature of their creation, that animals kill each other, I mean... and humans too are animals after all, so if...”

Mark brusquely took his eye off the viewfinder and turned his head.”Stop it, Cleo! Do you always have to turn to philosophizing at crucial moments? Think about your mission and that’s it, fuck!”

The woman nodded in denial with her hand.”No, Mark. It is fair that Cleo exposes all his perplexities. This is your baptism by fire and it is a crucial moment for all of you. Any kind of reluctance must be overcome, every doubt must be dissipated, so that the action is absolutely clear and does not leave any mark in your young minds.

You see Cleo, how you’ve pointed out earlier: those men are the animals of the Creator... and are going to kill the other animals of the Creator. However, those humans do not kill to feed themselves. They’re going to kill those animals and will not eat them, but will take away their skins and that’s just for financial gain... money, understand? They crave for money and to get it, they will sacrifice the body of those innocent creatures. They do not follow the laws of Nature, but those of financial gains. They are impious, in the most despicable sense of the word.”

“Yes... Yes, but they are human beings” insisted the girl, with an unconvincing tone.

“They are impious human beings” pointed out the woman.”And they must be stopped” she concluded peremptorily.

“Always the usual” snorted Mark while approaching his eye once again towards the viewfinder. After a moment, he raised his head and while turning it towards his teammate, and said:”Look at it this way, Cleo. The guy with the baseball bat down there is going to break your mother’s head just because she is desperately trying to protect your brother from a bastard who wants to flay alive. And you? What do you want to do, Cleo?”

Cleo stared at Mark for a moment, and then his expression changed. The facial features saddened and a flash of determination passed across her eyes. With a snap, she put the shot in the barrel, rested the butt of his rifle against her shoulder and pointed it towards the wide valley ahead.

Mark winked at the instructor, who pleasingly gave him a nod.

The boy resettled into the shooting position. He became aware of the weapon which he was wielding, which he made it become a part of his body. He put his eye back to the telescopic viewfinder once again and framed the head of his target in the center marks.”Recite your prayers, my friend.”

Prologue Part I

“I’m not crazy.”

“Why do you believe that I think so?”

“As I might be.”

“Do you believe that all those who know you, they may think it too?”

“Those who know me enough.”

“And you? You know yourself enough?”

“Let’s talk a bit of Pangaea. Okay?”

“If you insist” she said, while puffing away her boredom.

“Well, I think the time has come to dissect the thing a bit, don’t you think?”
