Miracles were the work of the Demiurge, but Cardior-Rhexis was no deity. She called herself a seasonal healer. Villages would learn too late the reason why she was in constant mobility. She was the giver of life, yet the bringer of death. Lukewarm wine in a golden cup, yet lethal poison in your veins. The antidote and the toxin.
Venu loves their children, but don't make ill of the root of life lest consequence shall arise, and Venu grows new skin. Cardior-Rhexis was the bringer of healing and growth, yet she left ashes behind her wake.

ROGUE REBORN - ONC 2023
**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SHORTLIST** Even if she is killed, she is never dead. ***** She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"Complete

Blessings From Above
We often dream about living in a world far different from our own. It's nice to dream about it, after all reality is disappointing. To dream of having magic, being able to soar with dragons in a beautiful green forest. But that's all it is right? A dream.... Yeah. But not for me. I possessed the body of a fake saintess who was going to die when the real saint appeared later on in the story. This world is filled with magic. The history is so rich. But I don't wanna die! I just transported here. I don't wanna die just yet!
