In an age long past, death was not a mystery, for a palm tree once grew upon the earth that served as a path between life and afterlife.
Genre: Mythology
Excerpt:
He came by sea in ships laden with his forces…
By day he attacked, and by night he attacked.
They knew that they must destroy him.
And they knew that they could not destroy him, for he was now too powerful.
What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?
Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it’s connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on.
In an earlier story, I wrote of a grieving young man who sought to retrieve his mother from the isle where the souls of those who have died go, just before they pass through the doorway into the afterlife: “The Isle of Mist and Gloom.”

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A stylized depiction on a tapestry or scroll. At left, a man stands in front of a black cobra that is larger than him. Both face to the right. The man holds his right hand on his hip and holds his left hand out, palm forming a “stop” gesture. They stand on a green shore with bright blades of grass. At right, a man in a boat raises his hands and face to the sky. Before him two strange beasts with hooked beaks and feathery scales stare to the left. Between boat and shore are stylized curls depicting waves. Top center, the bottom half of circle that depicts the sun. Bright rays beam to the left, bolts of lightning fan out to the right. The sky at center is blue, but darkens from left to right between the bolts. Top and bottom borders depict a repeating pattern, in two rows, the tops of palm trees. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along a ray of sunlight at center left.
