《Cypress》✶

When I lived in the mountains,
I thought the same color meant the same taste.
Tangerines, oranges and the sun. Citrus.
When I saw my great-grandmother peel a tangerine with her bare hands while men used knives for oranges, she became God. I imagined what she could do with the sun.

━ i post a lot of think-pieces and essays on topics that interest me and i like to be critical of the things i consume. pls do not be one of the people who goes "it's not that deep" ... i like analyzing stuff!! i like looking at fiction and thinking about what influences might have been involved and what the implications are and what could have been better in my opinion!! sometimes i criticize things i like and still like them. these can coexist it's true
━ do not interact with me if you're a bigot in any way, if you plagiarize, don't tag tws, read into everything in bad faith to intentionally start drama, support abusers, bigots, etc. (and CONTINUE to support them after discovering this) basic dni criteria you know how it goes
━ my socials are all in the carrd in my bio!

Having reached the end of a long journey, their last chance at survival rests in a dangerous Summoning that could leave them crippled. But they have no other option left to them. Cursed by a mysterious group of beings for reasons unknown and currently hunted by enemies far outmatching them in strength, they gamble everything on the hope that someone answers their call. *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Things like NTR, rape and the like are things i hate so if people are worried about that stuff i want to let you know that those things will not be happening. EDIT(June 18): So I should warn you guys, I have been told that the chapters have too many info dumps. This is a shortcoming that i am now aware of thanks to comments and reviews mentioning that fact. Since i know many readers enjoy the character interactions much more, that is what im planning to increase with my future chapters. I would say only my more recent chapters have decent amounts of character interactions and this is what i will take a larger focus on from now on. Although there will still be information presented, I intend to not make them so long. If you can get past the info dumps, you may like the story. Who knows. EDIT(August 19): The summary above is new. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont usually do this... but if you like TLK, this story, then feel free to check out my other work: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/5893
