    About this ebook

    Mystic Spiral Finale.

    Morganna returns and this time, she's gunning for Vincent Liedecker. Lifesavers, Inc (and their temporary caretakers) are caught in the crossfire between magic and the mob with the public left in serious danger. And what exactly is this Book of Reason Morganna wants so badly?

    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

    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...

      Legacy of One (Part 1)

      The bus dropped the four young psionics off at the bottom of the mountainous steps leading up to Freeland House.

      Oh, man, are we going to have to climb these things every day when we get off the bus? Warrick groaned. It’s bad enough that Mr. Bevilacqua plans on making us do laps every day before gym.

      I’d do laps all freaking day if I didn’t have to take the useless classes I got saddled with. Cyn grimaced. Somehow, the school had managed to switch most of her class requests with Melissa’s resulting in her not only being separated from all of her friends most of the day, but also in her class load being as appealing to her as watching linoleum peel.

      It can’t be that bad. Juniper said, I only got two classes I wanted and I think things will go just fine.

      Cyn managed not the glare at her perpetually sunny housemate. More than once, she wondered if her almost irrational optimism was the result
