Gripping the cursed relic, he pondered, “What are we willing to sacrifice for power?” The allure was irresistible after such a long, arduous journey. He proceeded. As his arm slowly entered the hollow cavity of the spiral relic, it emitted beautiful, yet eerie kalimba-like notes. Suddenly, it sprang to life, piercing his forearm and draining his very essence. His eyes turned black, mouth foamed, and his nails cracked as he realized the hopeless future he had unleashed for the next generation.
Food for thought. 🫡❤️

For days, melodies floated through the air, summoning Moths from far and wide to witness a grand awakening. An eerie stillness hung in the atmosphere, a pregnant pause that lingered before the Cocoon began to tremble. It was a sudden, jolting movement, akin to the breathless anticipation between a lightning flash and its rumbling thunder. It was the spark of life, ready to burst forth.

Firstly, a huge shoutout to for bringing me on board for this MtG universe Beyond Fallout project about two years ago. It was right after I had my first baby, and I distinctly recall the mix of exhaustion and nervousness I felt about getting this done.

Big Thanks and hug to the masterful eye of .ochoa for helping me guide this to the finish line 🤘🏽❤️

Even a god feels the emptiness of loneliness, a void untouched by the creator. It’s a moment for either reconnecting or succumbing to the feeling. The god’s divine nature creates distance, and the ache of loneliness lingers. Yet, in a quiet cosmic void, solace is found in the silent companionship of drifting statues of old gods, floating like empty shells. Here, sitting old lip plates, shared solitude becomes a comfort, soothing the echoes of loneliness.  Wishing you all a great New Year! May you wrap up the last moments of 2023 safely and surrounded by loved ones. Here’s to stepping into 2024, with anticipation for whatever this year has in store for us. Honestly, who the hell knows how wild this one’s going to be, but Cheers!
