《A Moth's Stories》Where to Go Now?
Advertisement
It, is, so, cold. It, is, so, late. It, is, so, empty. It, is, so, dark. It, is, so, wet. It, is, so, lonely.
Cast out from my clan. Cast out from my home. Cast out from what I knew to be right. Cast out from what I knew to be wrong.
What did I do to earn this fate of being cast out into this dark, careless world? What did I do for everyone I know to hate me and treat me like I was never close? What did I do the night I finally returned for me to be rejected by everything I knew?
I don’t understand anything. I don’t understand anyone. I don’t understand where I now belong. I don’t understand what I did wrong.
The night that I was taken away from my family that cared for me deeply. The night the bonds between my home were almost severed before they snapped when I came back. The night that I was changed to something no one accepted. The night I no longer recognised myself in the mirror as what looked back was nothing. The night I went from someone to a nothing because of someone else.
How long was it do I have to suffer in silence alone in this bleak existence. How long do I have to remain alone and afraid. How long till I can go home to where I was happy. How long till they see it wasn’t me who took and broke the seal between here and there. How long till no more words in fear, panic, disgust, anger, and hatred are thrown my way.
If I was to know who I took the unwitting fall for I could return a hero instead of a demon. If I could return the seal to its natural order would the others who threw me out accept me back. If I knew what was to happen that night, would I have stopped the seal from being broken and save my old home from the fear of what was to come. If I could take revenge on the one who in their greed cursed me to this fate would it feel full or hollow

Upon an empty night sky, I wish I could convince my family that I never took the seal and released the world behind it. Upon an empty night sky, I wish that despite everything, I could return home without being accosted, beaten, insulted, and threatened. Upon an empty night sky, I wish I could return the seal to save those that are left in my home and be accepted as a hero. Upon an empty night sky, I wish that I could have stopped the true perpetrator that I took the fall for that night.
Upon an empty, night, sky, I wish, I could have somewhere to once again call home. Not to walk aimlessly until the end. Not to dream empty dreams alone. Not to feel displaced on an alien plain. Not to feel as if I had nothing left. Not to feel as if one question remains.
Where. To. Go. Now?

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
