Description

Writing and cover art by Angela R. Sasser, (me).

Now that all of the chapters of this short story have been shared with the public over at my writing account, I've finally released it in its entirety as a free PDF.  You can also find an epub version for your tablets and an audiobook at the story's site. 

Not an Exalted fan? Never fear!  This story doesn't rely on previous knowledge of the universe and contains footnotes of term definitions.

THE UNCRUCIFIED is a short story set in the world of Exalted, a tabletop role-playing game created by White Wolf Publishing and Onyx Path Publishing.

In a world of defunct gods, corrupt nobility, and ancient magic, a young slave named Kalara struggles to find her place in a society where her future is bought and sold from one year to the next. An unexpected kindness releases Kalara from the cycle of cruelty, only to inspire her towards dreams a slave was never meant to have, dreams even the gods could not ignore.

Featured your story intro/cover art: After The CallTangerine Dream's song, "After The Call", brings to mind the last marathon runner, struggling to finish after the race has been called, the officials and crowds gone home, and no one is left to care whether he crosses the place where the finish line used to be, but himself. It is a song of undaunted determination in the face of unseen odds and apparent failure, a triumph of the spirit known only to the runner and his maker. As you can guess, I identify with this image, and perhaps a few of you do too. We believe we can do great things, yet we stumble and doubt ourselves when we, despite our best efforts, fail to rise above what we see as mediocrity. We do not judge by God's standards, but by human standards, and do not forgive ourselves for being merely human, less than others who accomplish more in worldly terms. Maybe it's time to celebrate those in our lives whose steady works go unnoticed, whose words while others are critical, are kind and uplifting, and realize that perhaps it's Have a great week! -Debra
