    About this ebook

    Part 2 of Mystic Spiral.

    Morganna continues her mad plan with Alexis and Ian closing in on her and Lisa's aunt offers her a deal in exchange for her niece’s life. Can Chaos and Darkness defeat this medieval nightmare, especially when she unleashes her mighty lieutenant: Lucian the Ape Knight.

    They are heroes. They are people. This is their story.

    Styled after works from the Bronze Age of Comic Books, The Descendants is presented in a unique manner: as an all-prose comic book complete with issues, specials and annuals, each telling a complete story that ties into the overall tale of the titular superheroes.

    It is also written as a throwback and love letter to an earlier age of superheroes, to a time before everything was grim and gritty and when comic books were fun.

    Landon Porter is a billionaire industrialist who fights crime with the aid of his magic sword and faithful companion, Distraction Lad whenever he's not dating supermodels or fighting evil robot bears from the future. On a completely unrelated note, he makes up fanciful stories for a living. An avid fan of superhero comics and roleplaying games, he blends tropes from both into his works along with themes of family, hope and redemption alongside a fervent rejection of cynicism and darkness.

      Preface

      The past will always hold sway over the future. It was because of the actions and atrocities of the twentieth century that in the twenty-first century, mankind came to learn that it had birthed a new breed of homo sapiens. Erroneously dubbed psionics, these young men and women bore within them new genetic potentials imprinted upon their bloodlines generations before; potentials to achieve what had been relegated to fiction and fancy before their coming.

      As all humans do, psionics soon found themselves in a position to make moral choices about their capabilities. Many, especially those with benign powers, chose the middling path; simply living normal, average lives with a minor perk or two. Those who chose to employ their abilities for the good of their community were dubbed ‘prelates’ by the media. Those who chose to seek personal gain at the expense of others were dubbed ‘rogues’ by the world’s governments.

      In the United States, it was decided that the best way to prevent rogues from becoming a threat was to train and encourage the proper use of psionic powers. To this end, the privately controlled, but government funded Psionics Training and Application Academy was founded. The Academy provided general education, training and ultimately referred young psionics to jobs in the public service sector. To combat the rogues that would still inevitably arise, a private force of psionics called the Enforcer Corps was founded on the Academy grounds in Langley, VA and given special police powers from the office of the President himself.

      For over two decades, the Academy and the Corps grew into well known institutions in the US, helping to stem the fears regular citizens harbored for psionics.

      It would not last.

      Not because of a flaw in the system, but because ultimately, both organizations had been founded with far less altruistic intentions for the young psionics within their walls.

      What follows is an account of a handful of individuals who were among the first to uncover the truth behind the Academy. Forced into hiding by the deadly Enforcer Corps, they will come together, be torn apart, and transformed into more than just themselves. They will become family and through their actions, a chain of events will unfold that will change the world...

      Laurel’s fingers flew over her keyboard. The glow of multiple monitors the only light illuminating her workshop. It had been six days since Lisa had disappeared and she had barely uncovered any scraps of information that were useful in any way.

      The name Morganna, Morgan, Morgaine, or any other permutation of such that traditionally preceded ‘le Fay’ was a dead end. The Academy had never given that designation to any psionic or Enforcer agent in their database, nor was any prelate currently operating in North America using it as a handle.

      The only modern connection to the name came in two separate headlines chronicling the discovery of a 12th century painting titled Portrait of Morganna le Fay and its subsequent theft during Life Savers Inc’s battle with the rogue psionic, Cinder. It was possible that Cinder had been
