The Forging

Have magic and myth awakened in this world, or were they here all along? A monster wearing a man’s skin like a suit terrorized my city, San Diego. The blame was mine. I didn’t recognize the beast for what it was.
Who am I? My name is Nathan Embers. I was an average husband and father, striving to do my best for my family. When one bullet from this entity of malice shattered my grip on reality, I was forced to step into the shoes of a hero to protect my family. In my naivete, I believed that a man's greatest glory is sacrificing his life for his loved ones. I was mistaken. True glory is to kill to protect them. But does this act of violence transform a man into a monster himself?
With friends long dead and newfound allies, I must become more than I am to protect all that I have. With grit and determination, I will place my life upon the altar of hope, for hope is all I have.
