Story Time: Through the perpetual twilight of Meridian's upper atmosphere, Thane Ravix counted the stone spires that pierced the lavender clouds like ancient fingers reaching for the mammoth planet Selenor above. The massive gas giant dominated the sky, its swirling storms creating hypnotic patterns that had driven many climbers mad over the centuries. But Thane wasn't here to admire the view - he had come seeking the Goddess Vhara, the Keeper of Universal Balance. The journey to the Needle Fields had cost him everything. Three climbing partners lost to the razor winds, his fortune spent on banned levitation tech, and his sanity tested by the whispers that plagued all who ventured this high into the Threshold Zone. Yet here he stood, on a platform no wider than his apartment back in New Singapore, staring up at what he'd spent five years searching for. The face before him was perfection incarnate. Carved from crystalline obsidian that shouldn't exist at this altitude, the visage of Vhara seemed to shift with each passing cloud shadow. Sometimes young, sometimes ancient, but always feminine, always watching. The stories said she had once walked among humans during the First Migration, before choosing to shed her corporeal form and become pure energy. Now she manifested only through these stone anchors, appearing to those she deemed worthy of her wisdom. "You seek balance," her voice resonated in his mind, though the statue's lips remained still. "Yet you carry such darkness, Thane Ravix." He thought of the quantum plague spreading through the lower cities, of how his position in the Meridian Science Council had allowed him to profit from withholding the cure. "I seek understanding," he replied. "The duality of existence eludes me." The air around him began to crystallize, forming geometric patterns that shouldn't be possible in natural physics. Through these crystalline windows, Thane saw versions of himself - one where he had released the cure freely, another where he had weaponized it further. Possibilities fractaled outward infinitely. "Balance is not the absence of darkness," Vhara's thoughts pierced his consciousness. "It is the acceptance of both shadow and light as equal forces. Your guilt serves no purpose. Your pride serves no purpose. They are merely waves in an infinite ocean." The neighboring spires began to hum, a deep resonance that made his bones ache. Through the mist, he could see other seekers on distant platforms - or were they reflections of himself across different timelines? The massive form of Selenor seemed to pulse in rhythm with the humming stones. "You offer me absolution?" Thane asked, his voice cracking. "I offer you nothing," came the reply. "I merely show you what already exists within. The balance you seek is not a destination - it is the journey itself." The crystalline windows shattered, their fragments hanging in the air like frozen tears. Each shard contained a different reflection of reality, a different choice, a different outcome. As they began to spin around him, Thane realized with growing horror that he could no longer remember which version of himself had initially climbed the spire. When the port authorities found him three days later, huddled in a pressure shelter at the base of the Needle Fields, Thane Ravix was a changed man. He had released the cure freely to all sectors, though he maintained no memory of doing so. The quantum plague vanished as mysteriously as it had appeared. In the years that followed, many more seekers claimed to have found Vhara's visage among the spires. Yet no two descriptions matched, and no coordinates ever led back to the same location twice. Some said the goddess had never existed, that the thin air and Selenor's gravity caused mass hallucinations. Others pointed to the miraculous events that followed each reported encounter. Thane Ravix never climbed again. But on clear nights, when Selenor's storms cast their light across the upper atmosphere, he would look up at the Needle Fields and smile, knowing that somewhere in that forest of stone fingers, countless versions of himself were still standing before her, learning to accept the perfect balance of all things.

Glad you have found this place : - ) I indeed have a couple of autumnal pieces if you look back on my videos from the last couple of months. Some winter themes incoming as well! Thank you for the support
