Mercy

Ian Haramaki

SHORT SUMMARY

When Father Ilya is asked to kill a monster in the woods, he instead lifts its curse. He helps the former monster, Danya, readjust to life as a man, and slowly he becomes something divine. Ilya feels unworthy of Danya's affections; Danya disagrees.

ONE QUOTE TO CONVINCE YOU

A great scarlet light hit the trees. The shadows of the wood grew darker against it, dancing as the flame shifted inside of its glass case. It fought against the breeze that threatened to snuff it out, Ilya gritting his teeth in the hope that it would stay alight. The evening glow behind the mountains had faded only moments ago. Darkness bloomed and left him a beacon in the middle of an ocean of conifers.

AUTHOR NOTE(S):

The religion present in Mercy is a fictional one based around the worship of the sun and moon, though it may mirror ones from real life. If religious stories normally put you off, I hope this will assuage any potential fears or discomfort. Mercy can be both cozy and harrowing in many places. If you are seeking a purely cozy or purely grimdark read, this may not satisfy. If you love light with your darkness, however, then I hope you will enjoy.
