"Larkenia's Flaws" Advertisement/Pieces
I mentioned a few posts ago that I was working on an original piece, right? Well, that project's finally beginning to show some results. A lot of results, in fact.
So, I pulled everything for that endeavor together, and slammed it into another journal. In the mean-time, I'm posting the prelude to Larkenia, as well as the first three scenes in Act One under my cut.
What's Larkenia's Flaws, you ask? Good Question!
Larkenia’s Flaws is a dark fantasy where man is Blessed, gender is immaterial and They linger behind every home. Enter modern-day Cyrne, a town on the brink of self-destruction: preying on the weak, They slip from their wooden natures for a brief respite. With more humans winding up dead each day, public officials have fostered a program to destroy Their habitat and drive Them out. So far the success has been a double-edged sword; looking for a new home, They have begun leaking into the human gene pool- resulting in a Flaw whose very existence is punishable by death.
Warnings: Larkenia deals seriously with alternate sexualities, graphic gore, and the general dark-side of life. If you're not interested in those things, I wouldn't suggest following it.

They were frivolous pictures, of a world she could never return to, pictures that one letter had destroyed- the letter she kept tight and dry in her left hand."
(Thano himself couldn't force her inside that iron hold)
