Cai stared out at the village from the hillsides. He did that a lot now.
Less in wonder and more in contemplation, looking out into the world to try and see more within himself.

Chin and I sat beneath a tree, each of us holding a small cup of tea. The tea had come from Hidden Viper’s region, it was a dried variant of a spirit herb. It had lost most of its potency but had aged itself in flavor.

She’d have to be tenacious to be with a man like Chin. She had to be strong and hardy and able to tie him down when he wanted to get back up.

The Heavens are the Heavens because we make them so, and the Hells are the Hells because we make them so.

The old man sat by the river bank, his hand holding the rod and his arms still with patience. He was old, far too old for a God-Imperium. His skin sagged slightly and he was short with his back hunched over in age.

The forest was dark in the most literal sense.
Darkness at its core was the loss of information. It was the corrosion of senses, physical or spiritual. At the edge of the forest was an absolute blackness that threatened to consume all there was.
