Mattie Love - Crusader - Quest D7 - Z RPG Series Z

this theme was difficult, and it pushed me a bit painfully. i ended up having to train a LoRa for 9 hours and 28,000 steps. =\

Mattie Love felt the edges fraying again. Not just her armor, but herself. Each step across this fractured landscape sent ripples through her being, an echo of tearing paper. She was becoming it, dissolving into forgotten stories. The quest had taken its toll; not wounds, but a slow unraveling. Once steel and resolve, now a mosaic of borrowed moments, a warrior composed of discarded dreams. Ahead lay the ruined city, mirroring her fading form. She gripped her sword, grounding her slightly. There was still duty to fulfill, even if it meant walking into oblivion piece by piece. Whispers grew louder, fragments urging her onward or warning back. Mattie ignored them, focusing on the next step, the next shard of reality she would traverse. She had to reach the heart of this place before she vanished completely.
