Pain is temporary,
like everything in life.

Embrace impermanence

She pierces her hand, blood,
the life elixir.
There's nothing stronger
than blood
the base of all her potions
and elixirs.
Her own blood, perfected, purified
After so many years.

Blood flows from her hand
one of the ley lines on her palm
As within so without.
She concentrates her thought 
her intention
into the effect desired by the potion.

Nothing else exists in the world
except for this intention,
this effect.

She takes a small bottle
and pours the blood into the mix.
Golden smoke, ancient smell
the spirit of trees gone long ago.
She inhales the golden smoke
and exhales it gray.

The gold remains inside

Reveal to me the ancient grove
That was burned to ashes.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite) by DeoxyNAcid
48 parts Complete
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.
