Rulership of the Eidru Empire
The Series Emerald Dreams in an Azure-Stained Reality begins in The Eidru Empire, or "The Profane Empire," as its neighbors often refer to it. The Eidru Empire was born of a loose confederation of disparate city-states. The venerable Megantani house, with a dynasty spanning over 800 years (1600 Earth years), transformed it from a league of states with mutual interests and short-lived kingdoms, passed from family to family, into a true empire.

Ditched and Cleaned
In the morning after the botched romantic night, while getting ready to go to work, Brad said to Emily, “Babe, I’m so sorry about yesterday. I should have told you about the allergy. I just thought that since it’s so rare and I never buy anything with rosehip I didn’t really need to.”

The Forest of the Forgotten
Amnity's cottage felt like a sanctuary after the strange silence of the forest. She dropped her pack by the door and took a deep breath, inhaling the familiar scents of dried herbs and the lingering sweetness of yesterday's honey cakes. Everything was exactly as she'd left it—copper pots hanging from their hooks, wooden counters worn smooth by years of use, the cheerful clutter of a kitchen that was truly lived in.

The War of the Americas - One Year Later
Dear Sylvia, I very much hope this letter finds its way to you. Mail service in the Baja peninsula was never very good before the war, and now, well, let’s just say there are very few mailboxes in the jungles of Baja where I have spent the past year leading a guerilla style counter-insurgency campaign against the invading American forces. Fortunately for Mexico, while the United States was busy preparing for World War III, arming itself to the teeth with nuclear weapons and training for massive conventional military conflicts and anti-terrorist actions in the middle east, Mexico focused on preparing for exactly what it now faces. It is ironic that the protective umbrella of the United States military is the very thing that gave us the freedom and space to do that and now America is paying the price for its reckless invasion in blood and treasure because of it. Mexico has also greatly benefited from Americas’ right wing politicians’ ridiculous anti-science agenda. The refusal to allow soldiers deployed to Mexico to be vaccinated against Dengue fever and other mosquito borne viruses has taken a terrible toll on US forces here, as have other diseases Mexicans have long since become immune to or vaccinated against. Cases of Tuberculosis and malaria have surged along with cholera. All these diseases are slowly depleting the morale and overall fighting capability of the American military in Mexico. And of course, it has been greatly accelerated by the total cessation of all mosquito and disease control efforts by Mexican government personnel since the invasion with predictable results. Finally, stories of the terror of screwworm with maggots erupting from soldiers’ skin, have resulted in a reputation for danger in the Baja peninsula which has generated much fear among the American public and US fighting forces. You have no doubt heard stories of mass defections and refusals to deploy from all branches of the US military. Despite the public executions of many mid and senior level military leaders for acting in defiance of the President’s orders those defections have continued. I am sure you must also be aware that many top American research scientists have sought asylum in Mexico seeking protection from persecution at home. This has been a major boon to Mexico’s prominence in the international scientific community. Meanwhile America’s reputation continues its long, slow slide into the gutter. Of course, you know all this, and I am not writing this letter to point fingers or denounce America for what it has done. There are plenty around the world who have and will continue to do that for Mexico.

THE EUNUCH'S GHOST. AI-Generated.
The wind howled through the pines on the palace outskirts, carrying with it the smell of rain-soaked earth and forgotten incense. Beneath the roots of a crooked tree, hidden from the eyes of those who passed by during the day, lay an unmarked grave. No headstone. No offerings. Only loose stones, hurriedly piled by men who had been ordered to dig quickly and say nothing.
