    About this ebook

    Following the events of So Far Gone, Jotus, ex-director of the Harvesting District, now a banished outlaw, must do whatever it takes to find his son, Jotan. He has heard news that Jotan is being held by Amentus, High Chieftain of the Emerald Clan, and ruler of Aanthora, who is currently amassing a grand Tatoran army to eradicate the alien Dotarans from the face of the planet. It is in the wake of this army that Jotus starts his search. He knows it will be difficult and dangerous work, but rescuing his son takes precedent over all else.

      Chapter One – On The Trail

      Jotus trudged forward through the jungle with but one thing on his mind, finding his son, Jotan. The last he had heard, his son was being kept under close watch by the ambitious Amentus, ruler of Aanthora and High Chieftain of the Emerald clan. Now, after forcing the information from Amentus’ confidant, Lucran, Jotus knew that Amentus was on the move, amassing a grand army of the people in order to eradicate the Dotaran species.

      Jotus had been with others before. His group had consisted of a Dotaran named Demtrius, a Human named Jaxon, another Human named Mya, two fine Tatoran warriors named Lorthredo and Montaug, and two Scynthians named Nadina and Pharon. It was with this band of misfits that Jotus had just escaped Aanthora. Now, however, he traveled alone on a personal mission; a family matter. The others would have joined him, but they had important missions of their own to carry out. The fate of a species was literally at stake.

      Jotus carried only a long wooden staff, a water-skin, and a satchel containing some food and a few personal items. He pushed forward through the jungle, following the trail of destruction left behind by the Aanthoran army. The trail headed west, toward the great plains. The tracks were over a week old, but that didn't deter Jotus. By himself, he could cover much more ground in a day than an entire army could. It was his hope to overtake the army before they reached the plains. There, it would be much more difficult to approach them without notice.

      As he walked in the wake of the army, Jotus noticed many valuable items that had been left behind and strewn about. Among the discarded items were pots, pans, bowls, spoons, forks, broken arrowheads, broken spear shafts, ropes, cloth, etc. He sifted through these remains, keeping some things, but leaving most. In all his searching, however, he found no useable weapons. Before continuing on the army’s trail, he picked up a broken arrow that still had an arrowhead and lashed it to the tip of his staff. This way, if he came across any predators, or other Tatorans for that matter, his chances of survival would be slightly higher.

      Eventually, the hour grew late and the daylight began to fade. Jotus decided to make camp where he was, out in the open. He lit a small fire, not concerned by any other potential outlaws or bandits that may have been lurking about. He felt the four notches in each of his ears, which marked him as an outlaw. He had been banished from society; exiled from civilization. He knew he
