CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
Portals aren’t so common that we need to worry yet
~
Sky and Leaf continued down the trail away from home
Wondering how far the two of them would have to roam
They crossed a little river where Leaf thought to cool his head
And though Sky wanted to clean her clothes, she just drank instead
“Are you sure you don’t want to jump in for just a bit
The blood is starting to smell kind of bad I must admit”
“There’ll be time for laundry after we find our lost friend
Heroes aren’t meant to be clean before the journey’s end”
She carried on in haste and Leaf then followed right behind
“If you washed a little bit, I’m sure Twig wouldn’t mind…”
Sky ignored his protest and they both were on their way
Sky was worried they’d already wasted half a day
The forest grew much denser the further they walking along
But after their last victory, they felt inspired and strong
Leaf may have been frightened of the way they won the fight
But he found Sky’s victory a reassuring sight
“It’s nice that the first portal we fought wasn’t bad today
And it means there won’t be any more soon on the way”
Leaf began to feel relaxed now since though portals weren’t rare
They would never appear twice in a row here or there
“Still, be careful of monsters who may still be lurking
Complacency will kill you faster than a big bug’s sting”
She scoffed at Leaf but he just rolled his eyes at her again
Such advice was common to hear from her now and then

Don’t worry about it, it’s not done anything rude
Just don’t try to pet it, even if it’s cute and small
They have a mean bite when their back’s up against a wall

You’ll see thousands like this while you’re walking on this trail
Thank them for the nuts they bury and forget about
Those become the tallest trees that birds can’t do without
“I’ve never used appraisal so much in a single day
How come every animals screen has so much to say”
“Father says some gods don’t choose a person they like best
Some gods wander around describing things without rest”
“What if it’s an animal that no god’s seen before
Would the status screen be blank, what are its levels for?”
“Once a human sees a creature, our gods see it too
There are myths of unknown beasts, but I can’t say they’re true”
“What about their levels, they’re all stuck at one right now
Did that monster level up with some god’s help somehow?”
“Honestly, for one so quick you learn these things so slow
Monsters’ levels come from all the things they eat, you know?”
“Wait, so if I eat a monster, will my level rise?
Not that I would want to eat evil potato fries…”

“No, a human can’t just eat something to level up
Please do not try putting some monster’s blood in your cup”
At the mention of monster blood, Leaf felt a bit sick
So he changed the topic of the conversation quick
“Anyways, I’m sure Twig couldn’t be too far from here
We should quiet down in case there’s noises we can’t hear”
Sky agree and quietly observed the woods around
Once she even tried resting her ear upon the ground
Leaf had always she was too smart and full of pride
But what he saw in her now was more of a feral side
Every time she thought of Twig her heart began to ache
She would disregard her image for her poor friend’s sake
Leaf was moved to see her dedication to their quest
But to find his friend Leaf too would journey without rest
They strained their eyes and ears for just the smallest hint or clue
Looking once or twice at every rock and tree in view
But as they focused, it was too late when they realized
On the trail ahead, two portals materialized

the Mediator
Award-winning rock musician Kris Maya had just held a ground-breaking concert, with an arena packed with his most die-hard fans. His songs that contemplated the human condition: desires, love, pain, loss, fantasy and reality, and his philosophy towards life have garnered a great number of people to follow his every move and as he strummed the last chord that signaled the end of his song, he stumbled in pain and collapsed. With a smile, he closed his eyes on the curtains of his final concert in this life. As the applause of his show turned to become murmurs of worry and disbelief, he was happy and excited. Still, he felt that he was ready and he was anticipating his return to the world where all his past mistakes left a grueling and bloody mark on its history. This world that he filled with his music had taught him many lessons. In Earth, the power of music served as his gateway to learning. When he returns to his former world, his overwhelming power of magic will teach others the same lessons; the bloodshed being the only difference. It was now time to pay it forward.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?
