Zeus on Mount Olympus
Location: Above the clouds, at an altitude of 100,000 feet, a massive zeppelin hovers like a shadow over the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Its name: Mount Olympus, a towering testament to human engineering and artificial intelligence. Inside, the atmosphere is sterile, calculated, and cold.

The Shattered Oath Part 4
The chamber erupted into chaos. Vaelin barely had time to react as the Vowbound warrior in obsidian armor lunged at him, the crackling energy in his gauntlet warping the air around it. Vaelin twisted aside, his sword flashing in a desperate parry. The impact sent a shockwave through his arm, the force unnatural—tainted by Veil magic.

The Shattered Oath Part 3
The path through the Wraithwood twisted through ancient ruins, remnants of a forgotten age swallowed by time. Vaelin kept a firm grip on his sword as they followed Nyara and the Oathsworn deeper into the heart of the forest. The deeper they went, the more the air crackled with Veil energy—Elira could feel it pressing against her skin like a whisper of something long-buried waking from slumber.

The journey beyond the city was a gauntlet of unseen threats.

Unraveling Worlds. Content Warning.
The words from the OB's filled everyone's mind, everyone heard or saw them, not one person was left untouched or without understanding, even the very young somehow had a simple understanding of things being different.

Before It Ends. Content Warning.
As soon as my mother left the room, I removed the ring and placed it back in my jewelry box. I even took a photo with my phone as proof, because I was doubting myself after seeing it on my finger. I tried to shake off the nightmares and the ring being on my finger as I went to take a shower. I kept having flashes of the shadow staring into my soul as I lay there unable to move in bed. As the water from the shower cascaded down my face, I tried to block the images from repeating in my head... it didn't help. I went down for breakfast, the vision of the shadow figure standing at my bedside, watching me... it continued to linger through my mind constantly.

The Shattered Oath Part 1
The dagger came without warning. Vaelin barely had time to twist aside as the blade hissed past his throat, grazing his skin with a cold, unnatural sharpness. The assassin moved like a wraith, black-cloaked and silent, vanishing into the shadows of the inn’s dimly lit room before he could land a counterstrike. Elira’s voice cut through the chaos—sharp, urgent.

Weighted Choices
She sat on the edge of the dock. The lights across the city flickered in different areas from the rolling power surges. Fires danced sporadically in the streets. But here, at the dock, you couldn’t see that chaos. She looked up at the low laying clouds and it was just a gorgeous shifting light display rippling on the bottom of the ever-constant stratus clouds. The Washington coast was forever covered in clouds. She thought about the last thing Meimei had said before the radio communications fell. If she could get “to the middle of nowhere” they would meet up, and “bring a fanny pack”. Melody’s infectious laugh crackled out over the sound. She loved her little sister and really hoped someone would make it there. She had waited to long out here, trying to help these people.
