Introduction: A series of short stories detailing Jackie's past.Mythos is an original work by me. Prelude is a series of short stories that will detail the backgrounds of major characters; each of the short stories function as stand-alone reads and should work as jumping-on points for Mythos as a whole.#1, The Taboo — The taboo declares that Humans must never form large groups or remain in one place. After doing both for over a year following the birth of Jackie, this family must reckon with finally splitting up to obey the taboo.#2, Loid — As his allies face a monster alone, Loid laments his weakness—and finds his strength.#3, Check — Though Jackie has grown, they are still but a child. Their family does whatever it takes to protect them, even when an unstoppable threat appears.Cover illustration and icon by Azulino....
