Episode 6: The Prince

Season 1, Episode 6: The Prince

P. Emerson Williams and James Curcio

We are all just costumes death wears for a season.

Gran recounts how Ayta, Elena, and Nyssa navigate New Babylon’s marketplace under Eluane's watchful eye. Worried about attracting attention after Elena’s recent misadventures, he leads them to an ornate tent where Prince Samah awaits, a figure of both youthful poise and heavy responsibility. This encounter has the potential to alter their destinies profoundly.

Within the tent, amidst exotic scents and distant music, a conversation unfolds, revealing the political and mystical intricacies of this world. Eluane discloses critical information about Elena’s actions and their potentially catastrophic consequences, raising the stakes. As Ayta and her new friends engage with Prince Samah, they must carefully navigate diplomacy and danger, questioning whether they can trust the prince to aid their escape or if his allegiance to tradition spells their doom.

Perhaps you've been having prophetic dreams that won't stop, or hear the spirits of the trees demanding a blood sacrifice every time you leave your apartment. But those are just dreams... right?

A mythpunk universe combining elements of speculative fiction, magical realism, fantasy and near-future noir.

Many Cycles begin in a world much like our own, with characters who know little of the world beyond their waking lives. Gradually, the crack opens between the mundane and the fantastic, the wondrous and the horrific, the past and the future.
