Kate Redleaf and the Red Cap
Kate Redleaf was no stranger to violence. She was born from it and, by it, orphaned. So, watching her attacker, a man from whom she'd just won a considerable amount of money playing poker, shooting arterial spray from his carotid all over the boots she'd won from another man, did not shock her. Perturbed, is the word she'd use. The boots were worth no small amount and given the sudden shift in her future prospects, not something she was like to come by for some time. An Indian, Lakota Sioux, if such specificities are important to the discerning legal mechanism currently in place, combined with her gender, granted her no tenable protection from adjudication or from the unwelcome outcome which would surely follow. Kate Redleaf was now, for all intents and purposes, an outlaw. And she wasn't the only one who knew it.

The Luminarch and the Sovereign
"Yesterday left me with a moment I couldn’t shake, so I wrote it down the only way I know how — straight from my heart and soul. This piece is a simple reflection on what I saw, what I felt, and what stayed with me afterward. It’s not about visuals or effects; it’s just the story itself and the truth that rose up while I was writing it. THIS STORY IS FROM MY BRAIN. MYTHICAL, DREAMY, AND WRITTEN IN METAPHORS AND CHARACTERS OF LIGHT."
