Kai Gilling, a transgender wanderer traversing the American West, has to trek hundreds of miles in his beat up Jeep, in order to reach an urban legend rumored to be the only settlement still thriving.

***********

It's a Wasteland, baby. In the uncomfortably not-so-distant future, the world has been ravaged by natural disasters, water shortages, and public apathy. People like Kai Gilling have flocked to the desert (once known as the American West) in hopes of finding a better life. After picking up a pair of siblings, the three come across a strange woman who claims to have a map to Arcadia, an urban legend rumored to be the only city thriving in the wreckage of the old world. Will they keep their hearts set on an oasis in the desert--even if it's just a mirage? Or will they be tempted by something elseAll Rights Reserved

Mars Argo & the Silver Wolf [original] by glennlusional

What remains of the human race has migrated to the planet Ceren of the Andromeda Galaxy following a nuclear war that eradicated all inhabitable places on Earth, living amongst twelve other species of aliens. Several decades into humans - adapted later into Cerens - becoming a part of their solar system, conflict arose within the thirteen planets, pitting the Titans against the rest of the galaxy in a long, violent Great War that would eventually end in the imprisonment of almost all Titans, and a new Andromedian Council to be created in order to prevent and subside future conflicts to avoid such a destructive battle from happening again. Mars Argo's father was the leading face of the Life Alliance that faced the Titans in the war, and a year after the dust had settled from the final battle, he had gone missing when she was only four years old. Fifteen years later, Mars lives with fruitless hope that her father is still alive but is unable to come back to her and her mother, who is a shell of who she once used to be with her husband presumed dead. When sneaking around the pilot school's restricted grounds, Mars finds what might be the only thing that can lead her to answers about her father: his warship, the Silver Wolf. Unbeknownst to the civilians of the Andromeda Galaxy, the Titan Army has gathered its scraps and its bearings, climbing back to its feet with revenge on the forefront, led by the tyrannical Commander Amon. Reluctant to be burdened with the responsibility of preventing a second Great War, Mars accepts the role of leading a new rendition of the Life Alliance in hopes of uniting the former members to prepare for the threat of attack by the Titans- and finding out more about her father's disappearance.

Those few who'd survived the travesty were forced to live in domed cities. In one of these safe havens, Sanctuary as it was named, its people accepted the fact that human life no longer belonged on the Outside World. This simply became a law of reality. However, the entire society is shocked when a human boy is discovered on the other side of Sanctuary's walls. He was named Rex. Possessing no recollection of his past he decides to start life anew. But fragmented images in his mind call for him to leave once more. Rex, along with his adoptive brother, decides to join the Seeker Corps, a group dedicated to surveying the outside in hopes of finding humanity's next home. Survival is key to protecting those who he holds dear and discovering the truth of his mysterious origin. This is a tale of souls seeking to defy a seemingly already decided future. What will they uncover beyond the lost horizon?
