Notes:
A shorter and more grounded installment of this series, and one featuring an extremly low-key monster to boot!
So either this is going to be very compelling, or very boring xD

See the end of this chapter for more notes.

Sometimes it feels good to return to my roots.
My roots being "fucked up story about human tragedy and also there's a giant monster"

To break that up a little, here is the first chapter of the Patron Exclusive sidestory which updates every month alongside Journey to the East right now, it will be updating this week on there. In addition, there's a whole sidestory following Bai Meizhen that is completed there as well, they can all be found in the 'collections'. Regular chapters will resume next week.

San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair), Scott McKenzie, Ancient Earth musician

For forty-seven days in the summer of 2161 C.E., the city of San Francisco on Earth in the Sol system was the center around which the galaxy figuratively spun. Thousands had arrived to the foggy city on the bay to attend the San Francisco Conference scheduled to begin on June 26th of that year.[fn1] For each delegation, there came an agenda, or agendas, either personal or mission-driven, from their world or governments of origin. Across local space, many planets still burned with the recent scars of the Coalition-Romulan War.[fn2]

1. As mentioned in the Author Notes, dating within the text will be set to the pre-Federation basic standard.
2. A.N.: In keeping with current academic nomenclature the conflict between the Romulan Star Empire and other powers in the galaxy, largely between 2154 and 2160 C.E., is referred to as the “Coalition-Romulan War”. Several referenced works refer to this conflict as “The Earth-Romulan War”, “Earther-Romulan War” and “War of the Romulans”. When used in quotation, these original distinctions have been retained.

“Before the first lesson?”

“He barely let us make it to our seats. The only comfort was that he let us pick the topic. He'd compiled a list of wonders for us to choose from; real, myth, and anythin' in between. Whatever we picked, we had to show an understandin' of the 'historical impact' the wonder had on the world. How it shaped cultures and belief systems. Impacted politics. The whole shebang. And all the best hits were on the board; Stonehenge, the Great Wall, Atlantis, El Dorado, the Pyramid of Anubis-"

Which is an SE canon cut so deep I almost needed stitches.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Death flinch a bit. Just a small twitch of his brow. “...what?”

“It is of no issue.”

“Death,” her voice was heavy with warning “if you have something to say, say it.” The reaper ran his tongue on his teeth. “It's just a addendum.”

“Which is?”

“...do you know why Annubis is in ruins?”

“Oh,” Benni blinked. “Well, there's a lot of speculation. Popular theories usually blame a mad necromancer, though some point to the reckless actions of a juvenile god...” it was the way he stiffened beside her, his face angling away and his shoulders tightening, that made Benni narrow her eyes. “Wait...you didn't...”

“I was young,” the reaper's defense was quick to come, “I didn't have full control of my power-”

“Are you fuckin' serious? It was a historical landmark, Death!”

“I know, it was an accident and I was justifiably punished for my actions.”

“What, did daddy ground you?” She added a posh accent. It just felt right. The deity was silent, his eyes averted at her question. “HA! He did?!”

“It feels as though any statement I make will be incriminating, so I shall now be silent.”

“Well you deserved to be grounded. Sounds like you were a little shit.”

“There were extenuating circumstances!” A subtle whine lurked in his voice. “There was a necromancer and a disgusting pharaoh. And mummies! Numerous mummies! I likely saved the continent.”

“Uh-huh. Okay, Sweetie.” Though weaponized, the endearment felt warm falling from her lips.
