Iara’s Crossing
Circles within circles
Lines within lines
Endless spirals
From small to great
The path lies ahead
Where destiny awaits
The runes of the ancient inscription were carved out of weakening limestone as part of a crumbling gate. The centerpiece of the gate was an enormous relic, a huge ammonite fossil. Vines twisted around each column of the limestone gate, moss and algae filling in the cracks. A forest of ginkgo trees lined either side of the path beneath the gate, worn by countless twin and three-toed footprints. Avian dinosaurs from other lands traveled to the Oasis in pilgrimage, to catch a glimpse of the massive ammonite relic. This was their origin point west of the once vast sea that divided an entire continent. It was protected by the mysterious elemental magic hidden within the ammonite, harnessed by Clepsydra in order to save her kind from extinction.
Hundreds of years later, the distant active fire-river-mountain, and invading tyrants, had other plans…
And when Iara was marked with the ammonite scar on her face, her journey of self discovery would begin…
The sequel to Iara’s Crossing is on the way…!

Zines
Zines are small self published works by independent artists–some are made through traditional means, with scrapbooking materials, and others are created digitally. Popular in the sci-fi fandom and skater scenes, among many others, zines are a community effort by fans for fans. They’re accessible works that call back to a time before internet bulletin boards and social media message feeds.
