  • We Seek Panacea

    We Seek Panacea

    We seek to feed ourselves. We seek something to numb the pain and we seek relief. We seek sanctuary. We seek to be whole. We seek healing and connection. We seek to cure what ails us. We seek Panacea.

  • Could the Sotiraz Planet Exist in our Universe?

    Could the Sotiraz Planet Exist in our Universe?

    Let’s call the Sotiraz world Planet A. Planet A is in a tidally locked orbit around Star A, much like how our moon is with Earth. Only a sliver of Planet A would be hospitable to life, as the back side would be too cold, and the front side would be too hot.  There are…

Their skin glistened from the mist and stray water drops that escaped the falls.

  • I am no one

    I am no one

    “Why would you follow me? I am no one, nothing,” Luca said. “Nothing?” Janus repeated and his brow lifted in surprise. “Alethi’s words planted a seed in you. Even the tiniest of seeds can grow into a giant Dy tree, a tree that separates and connects worlds. You say you are nothing but Luca you are…
