Mari's Dance: A Tale of Aegis Immemorial

'Mari's Dance: A Tale of Aegis Immemorial' is the second adventure set in a unique world of dark fantasy and Eldritch horror. It is a world where the skies have not been clear for centuries, and terrible dangers drift in the void above. It is a world of scattered people hiding in sparse communities, too scared to gather together lest their homes become the next target of the meteors that rain down from above, and the predatory horrors that the cursed rocks birth when they land.

But not all who hunt are monsters. Danika Echo wanders the reaches of the north, a stranger in an unfamiliar land, seeking out the creatures that would otherwise hunt her kind to extinction. Alone in a forgotten forest, she finds herself drawn to investigate a tragedy of the past. But curiosity comes at a price, and disturbing the dead may cost her far more than she bargained for.

This is a 7000 word short story.
