Amazing. this almost feels like beowulf. A dark epic, blood soaked. I adore this shit!

Critism wise, it isn't really Critism, i just wanted more. (I'll have to go back and read the others.) This shit should be scrawled on like ten thousand year old parchment made of human skin.

Coming from you, it means a lot to me. Thank you, Spencer, for reading and commenting. Unfortunately, I didn't find any human-skin parchment on Amazon, so I had to put it on Substack.

Brilliant piece. Would love to read more about this world.

Many of my existing pieces are already connected to this world. But there will be more explicit ones like the story of Kora and the chapbook coming out next year. I'm delighted to hear that you have enjoyed this piece and also that you like the world it plays in. It means a lot.
