Rise and Reclaim

(key elements of this book: supernatural abilities, kingdom building, friendship, territory and people management, slight romance but nothing crazy)



Skye’s eyes took a moment to adjust to the bright light of a sun peaking through the sticks that didn’t burn his skin in an instant. The wind blowing between the trees carried no sand or toxins in their breeze. The floating orb above him spoke bluntly yet Skye paid him no mind.



It’s words a mumbled mix of nonsense, Skye struggled to latch on to anything important. Something about their god dying, needing to form a team, building a society that can withstand the others. Blah blah blah. It was too early to hear it all again.



Skye groaned and detatched himself from the roots connected to his nervous system. The energy they helped him absorb over night was going to be put to good use.



He pushed himself up and grabbed Thorn, his trusted spear, and opened the makeshift door to his tent, letting the fresh air rush in. Stepping out he said



“Alright. Another day of trying to survive and not becoming dinner for some weird flat face freak.”



He gave his body a stretch with his spear raised above his head with both hands, feeling a pop in his back from sleeping on the ground.



“Oph, and maybe find something softer to sleep on.”



His minions danced along with his words. their petals fluttering in agreement. The bodies of a few monsters with chunks blown out of their sides lay scattered around them.



Today was going to be a good day.
