This Hollow Valley

Upon first landing on Hera 6, thousands of years before Lee was born, the only problem the humans thought they’d have to work through was how ugly and unpleasant the planet was. That problem was fixed, though, with an unexpected gift – projection. And while the majority of the refugees could only create visions and landscapes for themselves, a small group of women developed the ability to force their visions onto other people. Some viewed this as dangerous. Others were awe-inspired. When talk began to rise about getting rid of the women, the ones who held them in reverence escaped into the caves with them and hid. Now, thousands of years later, the non-believers have lost their powers of projection and instead have been gifted with extended life and strength. But they want the power or projection back…and the others want these new abilities as well. So while one side fights for a chance at beauty, and the others for longer lives, both fight out of anger and hate.Illustrated by Donna Pepper
