A quadrilogy to Soup!
With priorities shifted between them, Soup continues to live life in the rolling hills of grass and glistening skies, while Stew and Casserole continue theirs with their family, nestled away from others for the safety of their curious children.
However, their only daughter, Sage, is desperate to see what lies beyond the painted fences and predictability of home; a life her parents no longer lead.
Ready to discover her own way, Soup is entrusted with Sage and showing her what life has to offer beyond home; just enough so that it can tame her curiosities and she can leave wild fantasies behind her.
But, new dangers lurk in foreign lands. With the lights of guided spirits passing through the night, it's hard to resist the temptation to follow them and see what lays beyond.
Lost spirits are everywhere. Without direction, friend can quickly turn to foe; and the path to find what is lost seems impossible.
Even when it feels darkest, one wild light affectionately called 'Lasagne' shows up to help guide Soup and Sage onwards.
With their new friend, discovering the strange world together through thrilling experiences doesn't feel so frightening.
Soup starts to learn that it isn't so bad to let down his guard and lean into his inner child to enjoy the world around around him with Sage.
That is, until the lights beckon for him again...
A little boy, named Arthur unfortunately was a member of The Donnor Party...and was forced to eat his own family to survive. And...a tragic circumstance had a tragic result.
(Content warnings: Cannibalism, violence, murder of infants, starvation, The Donnor party, death, starving to death, turning into a wendigo. This is told by the adult Arthur, over a century after a helpless little boy was changed forever.)
A sequel to Soup!
A shifter called Soup and his human, Missy, live together up in the field of flowers.
With Missy now suspecting Soup's true form, their bond becomes rocky as Soup struggles to accept what that may mean for him and the life he has decided to lead away from society.
Refusing to give up on her, Soup chooses to turn a blind eye in the hope that life can continue as it did.
But when all seems like it is settling, a fierce storm rips through the lands and brings with it a new creature collapsed in the wildflowers.
With no identity, the lost creature is taken in and nestled into the home of two with the new name of Stew; with the hopes that someone will come forth to claim her.
Struggling with a whirlwind of energy around the calm home as the days go by, Stew only raises more questions about a shifter's life in a crueler world beyond the train tracks.
So, why does she want to return so desperately to it?
