SIX SECRET CLANS

There are six secret clans across six inhabited continents of the world. They live in Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, North America and Australia. They have existed since the beginning of time but the world has no knowledge of them. Hiding their existence is necessary…because of their unique abilities.

The Sakombi Clan

Born in the motherland of Africa.

The Spencer Clan

The land of ancient cities and royal palaces is their origin—Europe.

The Qiáo Clan

Emerged from the dynasties of China.

The Amaru Clan

First appeared before the Inca civilization in South America

The Natosapi Clan

The Blackfoot tribe also known as the Niitsitapi (original people) of North America.

The Gale Clan

The Australian Outback is their home.

THE SAKOMBI CLAN

The ancient Azande people of north central Africa are the ancestors of the Sakombi clan. The Azande now spread over three modern nation states, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire) and the Central African Republic. They have also now been affected by education, market economies and Christianity. But from ancient times until well into the twentieth century, they lived in isolation from Westerners and held many ancient traditional beliefs which some still believe. The ‘Azande’, meaning the people who possess much land, dwell in the savanna forest where they cultivate the soil to bring forth rich food crops and exotic trees. They were known as great warriors and were recognized for their military skill.

Although many of the people in the Azande culture have adapted to the western world, many still hold on to ancient traditional beliefs referred to as mangu or witchcraft. They believe that magic is inherited from mother to daughter, father to son, in the child’s belly and that a person could be a witch without knowing it, causing harm to others. This belief is used to explain difficulty, sickness and death. The grieving believer will contact an oracle—one believed to have the ability to identify a witch. The one accused of being a witch is then made to make amends—by expressing good will—to the one the witch has caused trouble.

Modern civilization looks upon the Azande belief as mythical. After all, there’s no such thing as magic. The Sakombi clan agrees with the western world. They don’t believe in magical powers either…because they have supernatural abilities.

The Sakombi clan is the oldest of the six secret clans and some believe they are the strongest because of their telepathic ability. But most don’t even know they exist—not even the Azande are aware they live among the most powerful beings on earth.

THE SPENCER CLAN

Europe is the point of origin for the Spencer clan and most were born on the land now known as London, the capital of England. Their history stretches back before the first major settlement was founded by the Romans after the invasion of 43 A.D. As it is with all of the clans, they live a hidden existence among their people.

When they train their abilities, they search for secluded areas, such as forest preserves or rail yards, so that no one will see them. Rail yards are their favorites—lifting train cars with their bare hands is more fun than lifting trees.

The Spencer clan is closest to the Sakombi clan. They’ve been fighting together for centuries.

THE QIÁO CLAN

Shanghai is the largest city on China’s central coast. At its heart is
