The Arctic Incident

At a remote Arctic research station, a drilling team pushes deeper into ancient permafrost, uncovering something long buried beneath the ice. As equipment strains and a relentless storm closes in, small irregularities begin to surface—subtle, explainable, and easy to dismiss.

When systems start to fail and evacuation becomes the only option, the team believes they are leaving the danger behind.

They are wrong.

Unseen and unrecognised, something has already slipped through—a chain of events set in motion by a single, almost invisible flaw.

The Arctic Incident is a story of systems under pressure, where competence is not enough, and where the smallest imperfection can carry consequences far beyond the moment it occurs.

It is the beginning of something much larger, leading to the events of The Great Collapse.

The Great Collapse

When the world ended, it did not end all at once.

A deadly pandemic sweeps across the globe, collapsing civilisation and leaving the survivors to fend for themselves in the ruins. In the shadow of a broken city, a small clan of orphaned boys clings to survival — bound together by loyalty, necessity, and the leadership of a hardened seventeen-year-old known as Red.

But survival has a cost.

When their last refuge is discovered, the boys are forced into a desperate escape through the underground tunnels beneath the city. Pursued by ruthless Marauders and driven by fear, hunger, and exhaustion, they must rely on each other more than ever — even as sacrifice reshapes their future forever.

Beyond the darkness, something unexpected awaits.

In a quiet village on the edge of the world they knew, the boys encounter a hidden refuge — and an oasis far greater than their shattered Earth. As danger closes in once more, a daring rescue will carry them beyond the limits of their world and into something unimaginable.

Among them is Sebastian James Jarvis — a quiet survivor whose past is more deeply connected to events beyond Earth than he could ever have known.

The Great Collapse is a story of survival, sacrifice, and the enduring strength of human connection — and the beginning of a journey that will echo far beyond one broken world.

This story follows on from events in The Arctic Incident.

Mammothants

In the frozen northern outlands of Cyanos, where glacial rivers braid through silent valleys and winter rules the land, the great Mammothants are on the move.

Driven south by hunger, the Matriarch leads her herd through mountain passes and forested valleys in search of food. But the further they travel, the closer they come to the lands of the people — strange creatures who ride noisy beasts and build curious tree caves in the snow.

When a young calf becomes trapped in a man-made canal, the frightened herd can only watch as an even larger roaring beast approaches, its iron claw reaching toward the helpless little one.

Is this the end — or something entirely unexpected?

Mammothants is a quiet tale of migration, misunderstanding, and a brief moment of shared compassion between two very different worlds in the vast wilderness of Cyanos.
