Adventure
Silver Slaughter
In a world teetering on the brink of ruin, where the sun rarely broke through stormy skies, humanity faced an unrelenting tide of monstrous horrors. The land was dotted with treacherous labyrinths—twisted mazes that served as breeding grounds for fearsome creatures and the remnants of ancient civilizations. These labyrinths tantalized adventurers with promises of treasure but delivered only despair for the ill-prepared. Cities became fortresses, and hope flickered like a candle in the howling winds.

Marcus Aemilius
Note from the writer: As a child, I loved a novel called Pearl Maiden by H. Rider Haggard. In short, the novel takes place in ancient Rome and Roman-occupied Judea between around 57 C.E. and 80-something C.E. In 70 C.E. the novel depicts the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple by Titus and the Roman legions. Although these large plot lines are the main drivers of the story, the overall story focuses on a love triangle between a three young people coming of age during this tumultuous time. There is Miriam, a christian girl whose parents were killed when she was a baby, her handmaiden Nauhushta from Ethiopia, and the two young men who love her, Marcus Aemilius and Caleb son of Bilel. Marcus is a commander in the Roman army and Caleb is a Jewish man who is a member of the Zealots. Miriam loves Marcus but cannot marry him because of a charge her mother put upon her as an infant that she could not marry any man who was not a Christian. Therefore, the story follows these two lovers as they grow up and apart, but still hold an eternal love for one another. Eventually, the faith of Marcus is changed after he believes Miriam has died, and he becomes a Christian, only to be reunited with her in Alexandria Egypt where they are married. While I still love this story and find the character of Marcus particularly excellent, after rereading it recently, I felt there were several things greatly lacking. First, the diversity, schisms, and disagreements within the early church are not addressed at all, and the novel seems to pretend that all Christians were a sort of Catholic all the way back to before the destruction by Titus. Second, the character of Marcus is given a rather lack-luster "conversion" which I find highly unprobable since the Roman legions were some of the most religiously devout (especially to Mars and the Eastern cult of Mithras). So, here is a fun, rediscovery of this somewhat obscure book written over 100 years ago that has long since needed a breath of fresh air. While I know this story is not my own, even back when I read it for the first time, I envisioned ways in which I, if I were the original writer, would have taken the book in a different direction.
