Exoplanet Ahuizotl 593-d is about 15 light-years from Earth, located in the habitable zone of a yellow dwarf star much like our own. It is a rocky world, with an axial tilt of 7.2 degrees and a diameter of just over 12,000 km. It has a single large moon, somewhat smaller than earth's and very different in origin and composition; this moon is a recently-captured long-period comet, composed mostly of water ice beneath a dark protective layer of organic dust. Ahuizotl 593-d was renamed to Spero (meaning "hope") when it was chosen as a candidate for terraforming and colonization.
Prior to human arrival, Spero was a dead world. Though once tectonically active, it ceased to be so long before humanity arrived, and countless aeons of erosion have ground down the mountain ranges and filled in the ocean basins with sediment. Where once tall mountains stood proudly, small, wind-blasted rocks are all that remain; and where once vast oceans surged, endless fields of sand dunes stand still and lifeless. The only true topography that may be found is the rims of innumerable impact craters, slowly being worn away by the ravages of wind and sand. The largest of these is over 1,000 km across, and is relatively young, at a mere 80 million years old; It has not had time to erode away as completely as some of the other craters, and its eastern rim contains mountains that are much higher than anywhere else on the planet - nearly 3,000 meters high.
The oceans are not completely gone - they are buried, to be certain, but the water still exists deep beneath the sediment. In certain places, scattered across the globe, ancient seawater seeps to the surface, forming saltwater oases - in the depths of the largest crater, these springs seep into the basin to form a permanent lake. However, by far the largest body of water is the Mare Vagus, the so-called "wandering sea": a shallow, hypersaline body of water which travels around Spero's lowlands, propelled by the forces of erosion and deposition. On the windward coast, soft rock and sediment are slowly carved away, only to be re-deposited as sand or silt on the leeward coast; harder rock resists erosion, and may deflect the Mare's trajectory against the wind to the north or south. in this way the seas move across the planet, leaving behind them a trail of salt crystal evaporites that can be seen from space. These bodies of water fuel a small but consistent water cycle - a few freshwater rivers snaking down from the highlands are fed by rainfall.
Despite the bleakness of the landscape, the planet is habitable. The air is breathable, the rivers drinkable, the soil nontoxic, and the sun is almost identical to our own. In a universe where habitable planets are exceedingly rare, Spero is a veritable oasis, and within ten years of the planet's discovery humanity was already putting together a plan for colonization. However, the sheer distance from earth to Spero makes for an imposing barrier; the fastest starships in the human fleet (at 1/6th the speed of light) would have to travel for 95 years to reach it. It would be two hundred and fifty years between the arrival of the first probes and the arrival of humanity on the planet's surface. And humanity did not arrive alone. They brought with them their crops, their livestock - everything needed to prepare a planet for permanent human habitation.
Transporting plants and animals across interstellar space is not an easy feat. Due to the 95-year time gap between launch and arrival, everything living must be either put in cryogenic stasis or maintain a breeding stock on the spaceship for the duration of the flight. Since storage space is a limited resource on ships and carrying that many moving animals, plants, and people (not to mention food and water and life support systems) would be unimaginably expensive, cryostasis was by far the preferred option. For most plants and some animals, this made transport downright easy; simply keep the desiccated seeds or cysts into a low-temperature freezer and thaw them out upon arrival. Thousands of seeds could be transported this way while barely taking up any space at all. Hundreds of species from over 450 different families were brought to Ahuizotl.
Animals, on the other hand, needed a little more consideration. Cryogenic stasis is a complicated affair (though much simpler than transporting moving, breathing animals for 95 years) and requires some specialized equipment. Multiple tanks of liquid nitrogen were needed for every individual animal, plus the metabolic suppressors and the actual stasis chamber itself. For an average-sized human this resulted in a set of equipment which weighed some six hundred pounds and took up almost 2.5 cubic meters of cabin space. For a fully grown cow or camel, the requirements were even more ludicrous.
Fortunately, these huge apparatuses could be shrunken, if the animals themselves were also shrunken. If transported as embryos, with development completed in artificial wombs upon arrival to the planet, each individual animal only took up one-eighth of a cubic meter of space. This was much more reasonable, and so many more individuals could be transported, enough to preserve genetic diversity for multiple species. Even so, space was at a premium, and only 18 species of animal were introduced (three of which could undergo cryptobiosis and were simply chucked in the freezer with the seeds).
Colonization occurred in several waves; the first wave included bacteria, algae, and certain lichens and fungi, and began the process of terraforming by beginning soil production and establishing the foundation of the artificial ecosystem the colonists hoped to create. The second wave included more complex plants, including mosses and ferns, and the first animals - tardigrades, rotifers, and other small creatures which would recycle nutrients. Once these organisms were established and thriving (as determined by robotic probes), the third wave - including the first hardy crop plants, larger invertebrates, and the first fish - arrived. Finally, in the fourth wave, humanity arrived (accompanied by the remaining seed species) to be greeted by a thriving, if taxonomically limited, ecosystem.

Seed List
All species introduced to Ahuizotl underwent genetic manipulation and hybridization to increase hardiness and heterozygosity, maximizing chances of successful establishment and survival into the future. Species were chosen based on hardiness, adaptability, and – most importantly – usefulness to humans. The vast majority of plant species introduced were crops, producing food, timber, or other important products such as rubber and medicines. Animals were either livestock, herding animals, or detritivores necessary for healthy soils and nutrient cycling. Pest species were strictly avoided. Thanks to the extended time spent in cryogenic stasis (as well as close inspection and quarantining by scientists prior to freezing), diseases and parasites were almost completely eliminated.
(Plants not included in this list; there are too many to count. If it's reasonably hardy and useful to humans, it's safe to assume it was brought along.)
Domestic Goat ~ Capra hircus
Cattle were rejected for colonization due to their size and feed requirements - the productive pastures needed to raise them effectively simple didn't exist. Goats were introduced instead, as they could survive better on the sparse scrubby vegetation which had been established by that point. Goats were introduced for their milk, meat, and leather, and for their ability to survive in harsh environments.
Domestic Sheep ~ Ovis aries
Sheep were introduced for meat, milk, and (most importantly) wool. The sheep arriving on Ahuizotl were hybrids between several different wool-producing breeds, mostly of the fine-wooled merino type. Though unable to survive without human care due to the need for periodic shearing, the breeds chosen were very hardy and could survive in harsh climates.
Dromedary Camel ~ Camelus dromedarius
Camels were introduced as pack animals and long-distance transport to desert outposts. They were also used for milk production. Camels were chosen based on their hardiness, pre-adapted to the desert climate of Spero as they were; able to survive on very little food or water and carry heavy loads for long distances, they would be invaluable, especially since Spero had no oil or petroleum deposits to produce fuel for motorized vehicles.
Domestic Donkey ~ Equus africanus asinus
Horses were considered for colonization as a means of transportation on a world where fuel was a highly limited resource, but were ultimately rejected in favour of donkeys. Donkeys were smaller than horses, but much hardier and required fewer resources. Donkeys were also used extensively for plowing and transportation in pulling carts - they were also significantly easier to handle and more comfortable to ride than camels.
Domestic Dog ~ Canis familiaris
Dogs were introduced as herding animals for goats and sheep, much more efficient than robotic substitutes. They had the added bonus of providing companionship to the human settlers (on a planet with a total population of less than 500 spread out over a vast area, loneliness was an ever-present problem). The dogs brought to Spero were all mutts with strong herding dog histories; border collies, blue heelers, and Alsatians were all prominently featured in the pedigrees.
Domestic Pig ~ Sus domesticus
Pigs were introduced mostly for their meat, but also for leather, manure, and disposal of organic wastes. They were also introduced for their unique ability to provide organs and tissues useful in medical applications, such as their heart valves. Hardy animals, able to survive on garbage, pigs were well adapted for surviving the turbulent early years of colonization.
Domestic Chicken ~ Gallus domesticus
Chickens were introduced for their meat and eggs, and their feathers were also used as a natural fiber for stuffing cushions and other necessary textiles. The chickens introduced were hybrid mixtures most similar to Indian and Polynesian breeds, but also included genes from western breeds such as leghorns, orpingtons, and wyandottes.
Common Carp ~ Cyprinus carpio
Fish was a critical nutrient source for the developing world, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids that could not be efficiently produced by plants. Although humanity makes use of many kinds of fish, most species require more advanced ecological environments to thrive. Carp, on the other hand, don’t; and while not typically considered food fish by western cultures their meat is tasty and nutritious. It is their ability to thrive in low-quality environments which made them better choices for colonization than more popular fish.
Flathead Mullet ~ Mugil cephalus
Mullets were introduced for many of the same reasons as carp. Adaptable, hardy, and able to survive in a wide range of temperatures and salinities, their diet of algae and bacterial scum allowed them to thrive in Ahuizotl’s estuaries. Unlike carp they congregate in large schools and so can be harvested in large quantities, an invaluable attribute once large numbers of colonists began arriving and expecting to be fed. The mullet introduced to Spero were genetically modified to have a flexible life cycle and a broader tolerance of salinity; they do not need to return to saltwater to breed, though they can still survive there just fine.
European Honeybee ~ Apis mellifera mellifera
On earth, bees are of critical importance, pollinating a huge proportion of the crops we rely on to produce our food. Thus, bees were practically guaranteed to be included in the seed list. Not only do they pollinate flowers, but the honey, wax, and other products produced by beehives are valuable commodities. The bees introduced are exclusively from the Western subspecies (A. m. mellifera); this is to prevent aggressive and swarming behaviours exhibited by hybrid bees on earth.
Common Woodlouse ~ Armidillidium vulgare
Woodlice were introduced as detritivores, aiding decomposition of excess organic matter and helping to keep soils fertile. This particular species was chosen based on its adaptability and hardiness compared to other woodlouse species, as they can tolerate drier conditions.
Common Earthworm ~ Lumbricus terrestris
Earthworms were introduced to aerate the soil and help keep croplands healthy. They also help to remove organic detritus such as fallen leaves and help mix soils, bringing nutrients within reach of plant roots. This species was chosen due to its ability to survive in diverse habitats.
White Rat Springtail ~ Folsomia candida
Springtails were chosen as detritivores, recycling organic matter and keeping the soils fertile and healthy. They also serve as extra food for woodlice and earthworms. This particular species was chosen due to the ease of culture and adaptability.
Cherry Shrimp ~ Neocaridina davidi
Freshwater shrimp were introduced to help control the growth of bacterial and algal mats in riverine environments, keeping waterways clear. They also serve as a secondary food source for carp. This species was chosen due to its ease of culture.
Ramshorn Snail ~ Planorbarius corneus
Like the cherry shrimp, freshwater snails were chosen to help keep down algal growth and keep waterways and rice paddies healthy and productive. They, like the shrimp, also serve as a secondary food source for carp.
Brine Shrimp ~ Artemia franciscana
Brine shrimp hold little value to humans, except as a food source for mullet, carp, and other marine species. They were mainly included because, as eggs, they can survive being frozen for long periods of time and so did not require the heavy cryogenic stasis equipment needed for most other animals. During early colonization they were used as a feed for the recently-thawed fish fry, and continued to be eaten by subsequent generations of larval fish.
Rotifer ~ Brachionus plicatilis
Like the brine shrimp, the rotifers were included as larval fish food and because they could be transported easily and in large numbers with nothing more than a simple freezer. They were one of the first animals introduced to Ahuizotl, along with tardigrades, and were intended to form the base of a self-sufficient aquatic ecology.
Tardigrade ~ Milnesium tardigradum
Tardigrades were chosen as pioneer animals to help create usable soils. They also provide food for larger invertebrates such as snails, isopods, and springtails. Thanks to their ability to withstand low temperatures for long periods of time in a cryptobiotic state, they could be brought in large numbers in a simple freezer.
~o~O~o~
These eighteen species of animals - and hundreds of species of plants - were cultivated to form a self-sufficient ecosystem in the dusty, dry wastes of Spero. Croplands, orchards, and timber plantations were planted along the banks of the rivers; farther from water, scrubby grasses and hardy forage plants grew in the infrequent rainfall. While the vast majority of the planet was still hostile desert, endless sand dunes or bare rock swept clean by the wind, humanity managed to eke out an existence along the narrow inhabitable margins of the rivers.
Until a cataclysmic event destroyed humanity's hope of creating a new home... and simultaneously laid the groundwork for Spero to become a thriving paradise far beyond their wildest dreams.
On 2nd of February 1645 a Royalist army led by James Graham, 5th Earl and 1st Marquis of Montrose, routed the Earl of Argyll’s Covenanting forces in the Battle of Inverlochy.
Montrose and his army had wintered-down at Inveraray, which had been taken from the Campbells, scouts determined that the Covenant armies were closing in on them, so they pulled out, heading to Loch Ness-side, near Kilcumin. While facing new threats, namely the Earl of Seaforth and his 5,000 men based at Inverness, word of an army of around 3,000 Campbells and lowland troops at Inverlochy, close to where Fort William is today, Graham already knew that the Earl of Seaforth and his 5,000 men based at Inverness were a threat.
With Campbell troops coming at them from the south, and Seaforths from the north, Montrose and his men took to the hills; the Covenanters found only an empty glen when they met up with one another. Reasoning that they should attack the strongest enemy first, Montrose was led by Cameron scouts, by little known paths (the actual path taken is still debated) to Inverlochy. This route is said to have been one of the most arduous and daring feats of Scottish military history.
What is known is that from the Roy Bridge area they forded the river Spean near Corriechoille and traversed a secret way via the old townships of Kilchonate and Leanachan after two days and nights they were at the foot of Ben Nevis’ “shoulder” of Meall an t-Suidhe just before dark. They observed the tower of the ancient castle of Inverlochy and many Campbells moving around their camp. The Campbells saw them, and assumed that they were only raiders, or foraging parties. Montrose and his army rested for the night in freezing temperatures and at the break of dawn the Campbells, including their chief Argyll, were awakened by the pipes of Montrose’s assembled clans charging down upon them.
Even though Grahams army were outnumbered by approximately 1,000 troops and were facing some cannon fire, the army of Montrose broke the Lowland soldiers on the wings, forcing them to flee the field. The Campbells in the center of the line held firm, but soon were cut into groups and eventually fled. To state that little quarter was given is an understatement. One account, by poet Iain Lom, recorded the action from his first-hand vantage point at the field of battle.
A nice wee add on to this story is from Iain Lom MacDonald. Although it is widely believed that Robert Burns was Scotland’s first Poet Laureate, Charles II named Iain Lom MacDonald as Scotland’s Poet Laureate during his 17th century reign. However as the Stuart line was unseated in 1689, and the subsequent Jacobite Risings failed to permanently restore the Stuarts, their status became a moot point. His stature has further been diminished by the fact that he composed exclusively in Gaelic, which even at that time was a language in decline.
Famously stating, when offered a sword to battle, “You battle; I’ll tell”, Iain Lom MacDonald sought out a high vantage point above the battleground below to record a blow-by-blow account.
As is only right I shall post the Gaelic version first, below this is the translation……you can also listen to Gaelic supergroup Mànran sing it as it should be…….
“S e Caimbeulach a bha am Fear Ghlinne-Faochain.
A reir coltais ’s i a bhean aige a rinn an t-oran’ [i]
Ho, gur mi ‘tha air mo leònadh,

’S leig e 'n sgrìob ud air a chinneadh.
'The lord of Glen Faochain was a Campbell.
In all likelihood, it was his wife who made the song’
O, I am wounded sorely,
Na i ri ri ho ro;
O, I am wounded sorely
Na i ri ri ’s i ri ri ho ro.
Since the day of the battle of Inverlochy,
Since the grim Irishmen’s pursuit –
They came to Scotland without resources,
Other than the goods they carried –
They gave strength to Clan Donald,
They killed my father and my husband,
And my three [handsome] young sons,
My four brothers were torn to shreds,
And my nine comely foster-brothers;
They burned my crops, my oats and barley.
Gleefully, they killed my cows,
And roasted my white sheep,
O, I have been tormented
At the thought of Mhac-Dhonnchaidh of Glen Faochain,
Every man in the country mourns you
In and around (about) Inverary,
Women are wringing their hands and tearing their hair.
O, I have been despoiled,
By the horsemen of the bridle and pack-saddle,
You (?) fell in a skirmish with some of (your) lads;
Mac Cailean Mor made for the pool,
And permitted that blow for his kindred.

The Rodovia dos Imigrantes has 44 viaducts, seven bridges, and 11 tunnels, along its 58.5 km stretch. The highway has recently been expanded, in one of the most audacious feats of Brazilian highway engineering, with extremely long tunnels and high strutting six-lane bridges constructed over the tropical rain forest, which covers the steep faces of the "Serra do Mar", the cliff range that separates the São Paulo plateau from the seaside lowlands. During sunny weekends, more than one million automobiles commonly cross its near 60 km run, separating the city of São Paulo from the sea.
The aqueduct system is an incredible feat of engineering that has stood the test of time and required careful planning. Essentially, these structures are like bridges used to transport fresh water to populated areas across valleys or lowlands to meet their basic needs. Although in modern technology, an aqueduct is a system of pipes, ditches, canals, tunnels and support structures used to transport water from the source to the main distribution point.
From 850 BC BC the first long-distance water canal system was built in the Assyrian Empire. These great engineering feats made it possible to build aqueducts on a more direct path between source and outlet. The first large-scale water management projects in Greece took place in the 7th century BC. and often includes the provision of public drinking fountains. From the 6th century BC both Samos and Athens were supplied with water by long-distance aqueducts. Another innovation in water management is rope. Qanat is an underground tunnel system that transports water that percolates through the soil, surface or spring water to the earth's surface using gravity alone. The qanats were used for irrigation and drinking water, helping to feed and sustain the population. Rope was present throughout the ancient world, from Egypt to China.
In 750 BCE, the Babylonians also implemented this sophisticated and extensive system of water canals. Around 312 BCE Rome's first aqueduct was constructed. Thanks to engineering advances and ambitious Roman projects, they were able to overcome challenging terrain and led to the creation of magnificent aqueducts, supplying the cities of the Roman Empire not only for basic needs, but also the great Roman public baths, decorative fountains (nymphaea) and private villas.
During the Middle Ages, people were forced to go back to water supply through wells and local rivers, as the development of aqueducts had come to a complete halt. The population during that time had to make do with other alternatives anyway, so much so that during the 14th century in Brugge they elaborated a system that used a large collecting cistern from which water was pumped, by means of a wheel with buckets on a chain, through subway conduits to public places. The most recognizable feature of Roman aqueducts may be the bridges constructed using rounded stone arches. Some of these can still be seen today traversing European valleys. However, these bridged structures made up only a small portion of the hundreds of kilometers of aqueducts throughout the empire. Thanks to the invention of the arch, they discovered materials such as concrete or waterproof cement, which prevented the unfavorable characteristics of the terrain and allowed them to conduct the water in a route as straight as possible through a slope.
Aqueducts freed Roman cities from dependence on nearby water sources and proved invaluable in promoting public health and hygiene. Aqueducts were and still are an important means of transporting water from one place to another. Whether it was 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome, Italy or today in California, aqueducts were and are essential for transporting water from where it was available in sufficient quantities to places where it was scarce.
We can conclude that the creation of aqueducts was another miracle of hydraulic works that supplied water to society and gradually developed its infrastructure until today, where some This ancient water aqueduct remains stable and useful to meet human needs. population. population. population. Thanks to Roman society, many alternatives were implemented to modernize these structures to the point where they became more sustainable
Annapurna base camp Trek is a world-renowned trek to the lap of the Annapurna Himalaya where you will be greeted by unforgettable views of the surrounding peaks. Annapurna base camp trek starts in the lush lowlands and continues up to a high-elevation amphitheater at the foot of Annapurna. We have thrilling views of Annapurna I, the first peak above 8000 m to have been climbed, a feat accomplished by a French team in 1950. The feeling of being in the heart of the Himalayas will never be forgotten.
Annapurna Base Camp and the Annapurna Glacier
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek lies in the Annapurna Conservation area and is one of the most popular trails among many trekking trails in the region. The Annapurna Base Camp passes through many villages of different ethnic communities having different cultures and lifestyles with terraced fields to forests of rhododendron and bamboo with a wide range of flora and fauna and eventually the alpine heights. It provides non-stop natural diversity with lovely mountain views and the Himalayan landscape. The sub-tropical forests come alive with an immense variety of bird life, waterfalls thunder down from cliff sides and monkeys chatter from the tree-tops. Trekking higher into the green, terraced hills you will wander through ancient, mossy Rhododendron forests to reach the cooler Buddhist and animistic middle hills, where chortens and prayer flags send prayers out to the gods and the Gurung and Magar inhabitants look more Tibetan than Nepali. Terraced fields and tropical fruit trees surround the neat, white-washed Gurung villages of the higher regions, leading the eye to vistas dominated by some of the Himalayas' most majestic peaks. The Annapurna is truly the heart of the Nepal Himalayas.
Our Annapurna base camp trek starts with a day scenic drive from Kathmandu to Pokhara ( you have the option of taking 30 minutes flight to Pokhara instead of driving as well) the charming lakeside town with scenic views of the Himalayas and the lake. After staying overnight at Pokhara, you will take an hour and a half drive to Nayapul – the trekking starting point and your trek continue to the Base Camp by staying overnights at Tikhedunga, Ghorepani, Tadapani, Chomrong, Dovan, and MBC. You will visit Poon Hill with a breathtaking panorama of the peaks on this trip. The trail continues up a gorge to eventually enter the majestic sanctuary near Machhapuchhre Base Camp, below the towering Machhapuchhre Peak. It is gentle ascents to Annapurna Base Camp, the high point of the journey at 4,130 m. you will take time to ample enjoy the magnificent surroundings of nearly 360˚ of peaks unlike anywhere else in the world.
There are numerous options for exploration in the Annapurna area for all types of visitors including the world-famous Annapurna Circuit Trek with Thorong La pass, Tilicho Lake, Ghorepani Poon hill, and Mardi Himal Base Camp.
We have a unique 14 days itinerary for the ABC Trek which includes your arrival and departure days plus a day sightseeing tour in Kathmandu; however, we are always ready to customize your trip itinerary if the set itinerary is not suitable for your time frame.

I love this song~ it is so beautiful, sweet and soothing. I first heard it when I was really small, so I think it genuinely fits as a nocturne, or a lullaby for me 🎼🎶
There’s also a Japanese lyric version of this song that’s equally as beautiful 🥰
I can see this being a song a person/character would use to soothe a child/self/other person or small creature in fanfics/stories. Just an idea 😉
I appreciate all these fics as they’ve provided me comfort, distraction, etc during these times. So thank you dear authors. Sending you love 💖

For around half a year, I've been working on a group of warrior cats fan clans that's sorta become it's own thing. I really want to write a story set in the world, but for now I'll just make some posts about the worldbuilding and some characters *shrug*. Maybe write a few short things. This time though, the setting and clans
*****
The Setting Of Fading Hollow
The clans live in and around a hollow (for those unaware, it's the lowland in a series of hills, usually with a body of water at the lowest point) in Appalachia. They're the descendants of feral cats and housepets who'd been left behind after a major disaster. One that made the land unlivable for it's former human inhabitants. The animals, however, have survived. The cats in particular have done well for themselves, some even forming their own societies in the form of clans.
CloudHill
The cats of CloudHill live on around the high point of the woods. Their camp is the clearing on top of the hill where they shelter in fallen logs and old stumps. They're well known for their ability to climb even the tallest trees and move through the woods as if they were creeping mist. They're soft spoken, and love jokes.
StoneShelf
These cats have made their home in the small caves and rocky overhang in the valley. They value strength, mostly physical, but also sheer willpower and emotional strength. Most cats here love to wrestle and challenge each other to absurd feats.
MeadowShade
Meadow cats build their nests in the soft grass tangled by the wind. They're known for their speed and grace, both of which are hard to match. They weave feathers and dried plants into their fur for rituals and gatherings.
SunDen
SunDen cats made their camp in the abandoned home of a human family. They value high intelligence and honoring tradition. They're very religious and have an intricate altar in front of the east facing window of the house. They keep track of time better than the rest of the clans due to there reverence for the sun. Somehow, over the years the house is still relatively well kept for having a bunch of cats living in it.
Pairings, if any: Ox Ford & Harvar D. Eclair, Jacqueline Dupre & Kimial Diehl
Rating: T
Warnings: Minor character death, pacing is garbage, canon-typical violence
Summary:
Oscar and Harv make their way deeper into the mountains to look for their lost companions. The fact that they have family to welcome them both is helpful, but not necessarily welcome on its own. In the meantime, Jack and Kim walk the path that has been paved for them to the consequences lying at its end.
Featuring Kilik Rung and Casper Graves-Grey, correspondence from Liz Thompson and Sebastian Black, and the triumphant(?) return of one Soul Evans. Set in the Leagues & Legends universe.
Please enjoy the story preview below the cut!
Names have power. Humans have forgotten, sort of— or perhaps they have warped it, by granting power to families instead of to titles.
Oscar knew the power of his name. He did not like it. Power was not meant to be flung like that: it was meant to be held, to be treasured, to be saved and carefully metered.
---
Names have power. Monsters know this: the fairies of the forest, the sphinxes of the desert, the trolls of the lowlands, and the harpies of the mountains all guard their names, that strangers might not know them. The last of these have a long reach: they remember the names of all who are theirs and all who were, and the names of those who might be.
---
The mountains have a long reach. They claim those who wish it and those who do not, those who flee and those who are cast out. So, too, do people lay claim to the mountains: heroes and vigilantes, mayors and citizens, monsters and men.
The mountains have their own names, some old, some new. The Giantkiller is an old one, and has been carried by many; ours would not be the first to be hated and feared. The last had been both vigilante and titled hero; ours would be neither.
Jack would burn down a giant with golden fire, would help build a castle from his bones, would rain terror on the mountains who hated to claim her. They would call her Giantkiller because they knew her feat but not her name. They would call her the Seeress's because she would, because she stayed as close as a shadow, forever on guard, the poison that dripped from the Seeress's fangs. They would call her a traitor because the first time a mage had thrown fire at her master, she had caught it and torn it apart the way only a mage could.
---
The mountains have their own names, some old, some new, and the Seeress is a new one. The first had believed, painfully, in the cost of innocent lives; ours would not know what she believed, exactly, only that the work had to be done.
