The Stalker
Everything revolves
around
getting to me,
controlling me,
moving my piece on your
Chessboard;
climax!
I am stuck in
hopelessness
of your grip,
uselessness of laws,
worthlessness of
safety;
my loveliness
is a trophy,
hunted.

The priest will #teach her the entire ritual. Dance steps, words of power, and spell components. It is necessary to call forth the Beast of Henabat, done every year. All adults must participate in it.
The Glarg 9 #farmers brought more than dead crop #stalks to the spaceport when the Thrax #imported alien potatoes. They knew where the pestilence had come from, didn't they? The Thrax would be #fascinated by spores hidden in the spoils. Soon their crops would fail too

I #stand still and quiet, watching and waiting for her to make a mistake. Though my peephole only shows me so much of the scene it shows me enough to analyze the situation. Assassination it is.
“Ah, lil foxy get stuck in me trap?” A #cleaver glinted at the tiny creature. “Fancy meself a #fortune_hunter an #stalks you. #Import’s need ya feet.”
#Fascination and the #farmer died when she shifted to combat form and ripped out his throat.

Maya traced a finger up Angela’s spine, slow and deliberate, “Hey Beanpole: You grow like a stalk when you’re confident - makes me want to climb you.” Angela smirked, towering over Maya in boots, “Careful. I might wrap around you like a vine if you keep looking at me like that.”

“Frustrate?”
The backhand was swift. “Shake it.”
“Yes, master.”

Moonlight slid down the fronds like silver water, revealing a hidden path only she could see. The fronds stirred before she touched them, as if recognizing the spell she carried in her breath. Once a healer, Alys had become a sorceress because spells worked better than herbs.

They waited for the rest of the scroll to go through the scanner. Unfortunately the scanning process caused stress to the scroll; most of it disintegrated into frond-like structures. Most of the document was saved on the device though. “This is incredible.” Antin kept reading. “Yeah!” Bill added excitedly. «It seems the author thought that the bond is exactly the same. But that a test – an empathy test – is the determining factor to decide if the bond goes through Light or through Darkness.” That is. Interesting, Ar’Thyl said. It doesn’t change much though. Edroth are closer to the Light, Dreth are closer to the Dark. Bill looked at the document again. “That’s true. Though humans are neither or. We may be born closer to the Light, but we can also be corrupted by Darkness.” Antin looked at the hiding place. “No wonder it was hidden in the vault like that! No one can profit from that revelation.” A gentle breeze slipped in when the door opened. Zhe’ra came through it, more like a tempest than gently. “Here you are! I’ve looked all over for you.” “Bill looked up at the Edroth space. “Why didn’t you just ask Castor! I see him hiding behind our Aludims» he said flatly. “What’s up Zhe’ra?” Antin asked. He could see she was about to bite off her great great grandson's face. “There’s three boats coming,” she said, before looking up. “And none of you three up there noticed?” “Are they firing?” Bill asked “No. They just came up and stopped right outside the shield. I think you need to head out there and ask them what they’re up too. #VSSFantasy Vault #VSS365 tempest #VSSDaily profit #VSSMagic Fronds #Emoetry flat #WIPSnips Gentle #WeirdMicro Empathy test

In the quiet of the library, the moment teaches its own small magical lesson: Knowledge was something you had to stretch your whole life toward. Even the shelves, tall and time‑worn, seem to say something about persistence—how every reach matters and can become a kind of understanding.

“I know Aludim. I think I’m just getting a bit frustrated with the lack of information.” Don’t you think the ones who built this city tried to find the solution too? “Well, yes…” “Well then!” Antin said. Emboldened by Bills lack of progress. “It’s time for a break! Let’s go get something to eat!” “Sound good…” Bill started. Before noticing something that looked like a book behind a loose wall panel. “What’s this?” He bent down and pried the panel open just enough to get at the object. A sharp pain and he withdrew his hand. What happened? Ar’Thyl worried “What’s up?” Antin said, moving to intercede. Bill looked at his hand. “I just got a splinter from trying to get out that box.” Antin looked at the object. “Probably a cursed lexicon. Why’d they hide it there?” “Maybe it was something someone wanted to save, maybe it can teach us something valuable?” He tried again and lifted the fragile box up on the table. The box disintegrated within seconds, leaving a scroll inside fairly intact. Antin and Bill both grabbed it to stretch it out, “A take on the covenant between Dreth and Darkness.” Antin read aloud. “Most of it is lost, but it seems to talk about findings on the Dreth Aludim bond. From what I can see it just ends with they deciding it is the same bond, but through darkness, as we have through Light.” “But that the Dreth probably misunderstood the bond and used it to enslave the humans.” Bill continued. This is known history to us, the knowledge contained made it out. We think the slaves made an uprising. Offering to partner with the Dreth, creating the evil G’Roth. Ar’Thyl said. Dangerous man he was. Maybe still is. “The scroll has more information though; we should scan it to the system before it disintegrates more.” Bill carefully lifted the parchment to the scanners, and fed it through the apparatus. Within moments the document appeared on the display. “There’s loads more!” Antin echoed. #VSSFantasy Covenant #VSS365 Frustrate #VSSD…

She lived on the edge of the #Mire, using it as protection on two sides. Lenny was content to keep to herself. Those who lived in the closest village seemed to prefer to keep their distance, as she liked it.
I stand
in defiance
while you sit,
endorsing cruelty,
saying
it’s nothing,
I’m the one
turned
wrong side
out;
You cozy
with your
perfection,
pushing all
the illness
to my door
with bouquets
of roses
