    Blake Alexander stood peering out through a crack in a curtain at his son's house. He looked as nervous as he was. 
     "Why is super dork hiding in our house dork?" asked Blake's teenage grandson of his father Lance who he called dork. 
     "The men in black are chasing him," Lance said. 
     "Yeah right dork!" said Lance Jnr who didn't believe he was of an alien race let alone they were sorcerers and the fact the men in black were real was just ridiculous. 
     "He's meant to be the emperor of the solar system why doesn't he tell them to go away!" said Kristine, Lance's daughter sarcastically. 
     "I tried they don't recognize the empire," said Blake who was distracted, 
     "they're coming to the door where can I hide?"  
     There was a distant voice behind them. 
     "Dad hide here!" the voice said it was not Lance's voice but his other son's voice it emitted from a whirling dark vortex. 
     Blake jumped in it and it disappeared.

    When ARKANE Archivist Martin Klein joins the Vatican digital archiving project, he finds an ancient letter mistakenly scanned along with the medieval papal decree Militia Dei, Soldiers of God. 
    It points to a dark secret the Knights Templar once tried to erase from existence, hidden in a medieval fortress under the heart of Paris for almost a thousand years. 
    As Martin follows the trail to the hidden Templar crypt, aided by biblical scholar Camara Mbaye, they discover something unspeakable in the vaults below Paris. 
    Who are the Soldiers of God and why must they rest until needed? 
    This is a short story featuring Martin Klein and Dr Camara Mbaye from my ARKANE world. It fits after Tomb of Relics, book 12 of the ARKANE action-adventure thriller series, but can be read as a stand-alone story.

    The veil between the worlds has been torn, and terrible powers are coming through... 
    A magician has caused a rift in the fabric of the universe, and platonic ideals are now roaming the English countryside, taking the form of giant animals and generally wreaking havoc on the small town of Smetham. While others flee, a young student named Anthony Durrant realizes that it is up to him to face the monstrous powers before they destroy the world. 
    The Place of the Lion is one of Charles Williams' most beloved novels. C.S. Lewis called reading it "one of the major literary events of my life". Along with Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Williams was member of the Inklings, an informal group of writers in Oxford, England, who changed the world with their mythopoetic vision.
