SOMEWHERE HIGH IN THE CARLARIAN SKY
It had passed a long time since he had visited this place. The trees were high and strong even if decadent and grey. The animal from bellow looked strangely at that bird who was flying a bit too fast for their standards and Pxan returned the look, seeing how mutated the animals had become.
The local miner manager didn’t ask him too many questions on why he was there and he didn’t ask him where all the money of his mining went. It was a sort of unspoken pact between them.
The ship hovered over a small green hill next to the remnants of a town. The buildings were erased from the foundations, only a tiny green taint remained where they had been those buildings. A large grey area marked where the communal home was. He remembered that place, he had hoped to come here under better circumstances as a teenager.
Nothing had remained. Nothing had stood. This was the way of all things; to fell to entropy and destruction. Just as he was saying this he noticed a small tower up north where the old church had used to be. Intrigued Pxan decided to go there.
The walls were destroyed and the columns were new. Nearly nothing of the church that he remembered stood now. Except for a statue that now he recognizes, it was Lazarus. Or as he was better known St. Lazarus, he had been a holy man a long time ago and he collected his thoughts and practices in a book. Unfortunately, no one knew what was actually in that book because cultists keep writing and rewriting different copies with the same name, making Lazarus now a materialist, now a hedonistic, now an ascetic.
He heard footsteps coming from the door. There were not that of an animal, too light and regular. He turned around to see a girl in raw armour, staring paralyzed at him with a spear in its hands. He wore a strange mask made of wood.

An old man came through the door and stared at Pxan. He was grey as snow and had to walk with staff. Pxan needed only to glance at him to recognize the scent. He quickly picked up the gun and if it wasn’t for Lucy punch he would have killed him on sight.

I have done it this way because I find it easier to imagine the characters facual apperiences when I read a book and I do believe that other people would agree with what I have said.)

The Black Empress
In a hall, so lavishly decorated, even the vatican would bow down in shame, an army of abominations kneeled, motionless. Each and every entity present could defeat all of mankind, single handedly. And yet, the girl in front of them, they could not stand against. So they chose to follow her instead, forming an army strong enough to threaten the gods themselves. The girl leisurely sat on a throne made of the same black fabric, that reality is painted on, her shoulder occupied by a crow with eyes like molten rock. Oh yeah, she looks like a four year old. Who is she? Why gather an army of such tremendous might? This is the story of a thing, that once was a normal girl, but hasn't been for centuries.
