Symbiotic: Chapter 24
Chapter 24 The cavern stretched vast and unnatural, lit faintly from the glow of the single light in the distance of the city sized cavern. Sara pressed forward, spear in hand, armor flexing silently, her Sporesight cloud extended to its full hundred feet. The air was thick with shrieks and glittering wings as wave after wave of Crystal Crawlers swarming to block her path.

Symbiotic: Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Before charging forward, Sara spent a moment to fiddle with how the System Notifications were delivered during combat. She figured out how to have the System stop sending her notifications every time she used a skill or ability of what it had costs and what remained.

Symbiotic: Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Sara knelt in the narrow empty tunnel, the only sound her own breathing. She laid her old spear across the stone floor, its familiar weight suddenly feeling inadequate against the unknown threat ahead. Closing her eyes, she pressed her palm to the shaft and whispered the command.

The Forgotten Room of the Divine Feminine
There is a room in the Great Temple that no one speaks of. It sits at the farthest end of the Hall of Libraries, beyond the galleries of kings and prophets, past the marble altars memorializing battles and miracles. Patrons walk past it without noticing. Priests avert their eyes when they approach. Scholars cough and scurry along.

Symbiotic: Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Sara continued her ever downward trek through tunnels and caverns. Her path was silent, as nothing lived in these tunnels but the Greatworms. And she had not run into a Greatworm in some time. The caverns she had last traveled through looked like a Greatworm had made it’s nest there, but the worm itself was long gone.

True Peace for Soldiers
Old white men, they were, their bodies a rolling landscape of skin pulled tight and fallen loose. Pockmarked with moles and freckles, splotches of red, white, blue, and green, colors and shapes that hide behind the skin and fat of younger men.

Shifting Sands of the Arena

Does anyone else out there think they are wise like this folly of a man?” The crowd lay silent, and as the Emperor projected his deep voice, it bounced over the red clay canyon walls. With the sun cascading over him, like nature's spotlight, he continued, “May his life serve as an ever-present reminder!” As swift as fire catching, the sky turned from sunlit to a cast shadow. An eclipse had fallen over the arena floor, with only a golden ring showcasing the sun from the shape blocking its radiance.

The Night the Witch Stopped Waiting”
They said she haunted the forest long before the village ever existed. Some said that she had walked the earth for centuries, untouched by time. Others believed she was already dead, a wandering spirit wearing the memory of a woman's face. But the truth was far simpler, and far sadder: she was waiting.
