The Monster Makers
The FrankWhile the rest of his people moved further west, the Frank found a home, and a purpose, in the bowels of a mountain. For fifty years he has refined his art and his talent, and still he cannot escape his past. |
VitorThe Frank's second apprentice, a boy the Frank found, or who found the Frank, and now Vitor studies at his master's side. But where the Frank seeks to create something like life, Vitor has loftier goals in mind. |
HevaVitor in his impetuous youth has created his own golem. Before knowledge, before restraint, he created, and there was Heva. Heva, who would be Queen. |
ThanaNear the Stone of the Frank there is a little village, and Thana is a resident there. She has been all her second life, for as long as the village has been, so to has Thana and her neighbors. It is a prison of a kind, but at least she is alive. |
ChybiBefore Vitor, the Frank had another apprentice, Chybi. Who's failure will haunt the Frank for the rest of his days. |
