Story Notes:
This is a story I already posted on fanfiction.net, but I decided that to give it a try here as well. This fic will deal a lot about spirituality and east-west contrast. A lot of the original characters featured here are inspired by the Roman empire and Greek culture. Where, the Avatar world mostly deals with Buddhism and Hindu inspired mysticism, like chakra's and reincarnations, in contrast, Lu Ten finds himself among people who hold to the Neo-Platonic, Hermetic and Gnostic matrixes of Western esoteric tradition.

For those of you who are a bit unfamiliar about Western esoteric tradition, it concerns the mystery cults, initiation rituals (later stolen by Christianity - baptism and Eucharists) and general Oneiromantic mystical systems which had been the Western world's birth right had Orthodox Christianity not wiped them out.

Oh and almost forgot. Disclaimer: Avatar and Lu Ten belongs to Nickelodeon-Viacom, and those weeaboos, Mike and Bryan

Reviews will be great.

So without further delay, I present The Lost Son...

1. Chapter 1: First Contact by Julian [Reviews - 0] (2080 words)
This is pretty calm introduction. Mostly something to get the ball rolling. It gets more exciting later on. Promise.

2. Chapter 2: Meeting New Cultures by Julian [Reviews - 0] (2569 words)
I think it's best to start saying that there will be certain adult elements in this story but nothing pornographic. This chapter will be the foretaste of that. Also, there will be a lot of ethnocentrism, so yeah... I am aiming for historical parallelism after all.

3. Chapter 3: Mare Demonicus by Julian [Reviews - 0] (3762 words)
Well, this is where the fun starts. Just a few notes. the Pleroma refers to the world of the archetypes. Plato, Polybius, the Gnostics and even C.G. Jung have discussed it. I recommend reading 'Seven Sermons of the Dead' for more info about that.

Next, the Pneumatic, Psychic and Hyletic are the hierarchical classifications established by the Hermetic and Gnostic traditions. Although not exactly accurate, the stuff mentioned on the story are pretty similar to their real world equivalents.
