Lyra and the
ferocious beast
august, 2023
the voxel, Baltimore
Isolated on the planet Minerva, Lyra is desperately seeking for a magical gemstone that will grant her wish for penance. She is kept company by her adopted sigma jupiaryllis and her android, Hattie. Soon the three realize that they are not alone... there is an evil lurking in the shadows, searching for Lyra and hunting the coveted gemstone.
"The tale doesn't wrap up neatly, but instead concludes the way things end in real life."
"...its sense of grandeur and heroic conquest are worthy of comparison to Hollywood’s best."
