Chapter 22: The Calm Before the Storm

That was the final straw. The sea? Utterly loathed. As if to underscore your sentiment, the deck beneath your bare feet turned treacherous, slick with seawater from an enormous wave that nearly capsized the ship. You fought to maintain your balance, cursing the unending, unforgiving expanse of ocean that seemed determined to thwart your every step.

With a muttered curse, you clung to the railing, knuckles white with tension as you weathered the onslaught of wind and water. Each crash of the waves against the hull felt like a personal affront, a reminder of your rapidly growing disdain for this tumultuous expanse of blue.

The chill gnawed at you mercilessly, penetrating your thin pajamas now thoroughly drenched from the relentless assault of sea spray and blinding rain. You’d just spent the last half hour securing all the tools in your forge. Your thighs burned as you wrestled to keep upright, nonetheless, you pressed on, navigating to the tables, aiming to fasten them to the deck too.

As the ship rocked and pitched beneath you, you couldn't help but wonder what possessed you to embark on this voyage in the first place. The promise of adventure? Ha! More like a death wish.

Nami's voice struggled to pierce the howling winds, her instructions almost lost amidst the deafening roar of the storm. It had descended upon you with startling swiftness, catching everyone off guard in the predawn hours. Yet, despite the lack of warning, Nami had somehow sensed its approach mere moments before the first punishing wave crashed against the hull. It was a testament to her unparalleled skill as a navigator, her intuition bordering on the miraculous.

As chaos reigned around you, you marveled at the seamless efficiency with which the crew sprang into action. Zoro and Sanji moved with practiced agility, securing the flailing sails with expert precision. Chopper and Robin worked tirelessly in the galley to secure loose objects and prevent potential disasters. Meanwhile, Franky and Usopp, undaunted by the storm's fury, kept a watchful eye on the ship's mechanical systems, ensuring that everything continued to function smoothly amidst the tumult.

Beside you, Brook offered his assistance to Nami, his skeletal hands deftly aiding her in whatever tasks she required. And then there was Luffy, the damned daredevil, perched atop the figurehead of the Sunny, his infectious laughter ringing out above the tempestuous din. Despite the danger that surrounded you, he seemed utterly unfazed, his carefree demeanor a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding around him.

With the final knot cinched tight, you ensured the tables and chairs remained steadfastly anchored to the heaving deck. Rising to your feet, the disorienting sway of the ship made every movement feel out of sync, as if gravity itself was conspiring against you.

Fuck.

You were going to hurl.

The taste of bile flooded your mouth as you bent over the side of the ship.

A monstrous wave suddenly crashed against the hull, sending everything careening off course with a violent lurch that nearly catapulted you over the railing. In an instant, the world tilted at a perilous angle, and you found yourself teetering on the edge of oblivion, the relentless pull of the ocean threatening to claim you.

With a surge of adrenaline, your eyes widened in alarm as the deck vanished beneath your feet, replaced by a gaping void of churning water. The air rushed past you, whipping at your clothes as gravity seized hold, menacing to drag you into the icy depths below.

Your heart pounded in your chest as a firm grip closed around your waist, wrenching you back from the brink of disaster. In a blur of motion, you found yourself onto the safety of the deck once again, the sensation of solid ground beneath your feet a welcome relief.

Gasping for breath, you turned to see who had saved you, your eyes meeting the swordsman’s.

"Get back inside" he shouted, his voice barely audible over the sudden thunderstrike. "Can't afford to lose you out here."

Your expression twisted into a scowl. "I’m not gonna fucking wait for death in there!" you yelled defiantly.

"This isn't the time to be stubborn, witch," he jabbed a finger toward the galley door. “Get inside.”

Your gaze sparked with annoyance. "Let me help," you insisted, refusing to back down, to be useless.

He examined your face, trying to find a crack, a way for you to back down. With a begrudging sigh, he relented. "Fine," he conceded, his tone clipped. "Batten down the hatches, then," he ordered, turning away to attend to the next task.

But before he could move, you grabbed his sleeve, halting his progress. "What the fuck does that mean?" you demanded, confused.

An expression of exasperation crossed his features at your question. "For heaven's sake," he snapped, clearly annoyed.

In one swift motion, he hoisted you over his shoulder, catching you off guard. Before you could protest or regain your bearings, you found yourself unceremoniously deposited inside the galley.

"Don't come out," he warned sharply, his tone laced with frustration as he spat the words in your face. You tried to argue back but he flashed you an angry stare and slammed the door shut behind him.

“He’s just worried,” Robin said behind you, snapping your attention towards her and the doctor still busy tying everything down in the kitchen. “You can sit and relax, Chopper and I are almost done here.”

Your teeth clenched, the unwelcome feeling of uselessness gnawing at the back of your mind. You sank into your chair, thankful for once that the seat was bolted to the floor as the walls seemed to move unnaturally around you. You closed your eyes trying to ignore the violent sway.

“Here,” Chopper presented you with a lidded cup, steam escaping the small opening. “It’ll make you feel better.”

The smell of peppermint hit your nose as you brought the ceramic to your lips. “Thanks, doc,” You took a grateful sip of the steaming liquid, the warmth spreading through your chilled body like a comforting embrace. Despite the chaos raging outside, the calm atmosphere of the galley provided a brief respite from the exterior's fury.

With a sigh, you leaned back in your chair, the tension slowly melting away as the refreshing herb soothed the constant nausea edging at your senses. For the first time since the storm had descended upon the ship, you allowed yourself to relax, if only for a fleeting moment.

Robin settled across from you, a subtle chuckle escaping her lips as she observed your demeanor. "You're handling this better than I anticipated, especially considering it's your first storm," she remarked with a hint of admiration in her tone.

You quirked an eyebrow at her, you bet the swordsman would say otherwise but still the sentiment felt nice. “Thanks for the vote of confidence,” you replied dryly, a wry smile making its way on your lips. “I figured I’d save the panic attack for later, when there’s less of an audience.”

You nearly heard Chopper’s head snap in your direction at your comment, a worried look passing his eyes.

You flashed him a reassuring grin. "Relax, little guy," you said, your voice laced with as much calm as you could muster. "I'm just kidding… Mostly. No panic attacks on the agenda for today."

Chopper let out a thankful sigh, his fur almost puffing up with relief. "Oh, good," he replied, his tone still carrying a hint of lingering concern. "We have enough to deal with without adding panic attacks to the mix."

You chuckled softly, the sound somehow cheery in the midst of the storm. "Exactly," you agreed, taking another sip of the steaming concoction Chopper had brewed for you. "Besides, where's the fun in having a panic attack when you can just enjoy the thrill of impending doom?"

Robin raised an eyebrow at the unusual dryness of your humor, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.

"By the way," you continued, savoring the soothing feeling on your senses. "What the hell does 'batten down the hatches' mean?" The exchange with the swordsman still nagged at you, driving your curiosity to seek clarification.

Robin's reaction caught you off guard as she snorted, a sound that seemed almost out of character for the normally composed archaeologist.

"It's a nautical term," Chopper chimed in as he settled himself at the table, passing a cup to Robin. "It involves covering the hatches with canvas or planks to prevent water from flooding the lower decks."

"Primarily used on older ships," Robin added offhandedly, although her voice was laced with a hint of amusement, as though she was privy to a joke you didn’t understand. "On the Sunny, it's mostly automated, a relic of a bygone era."

The pieces clicked into place, and you realized why Robin found your question so entertaining. An irksome revelation surged within you, igniting a spark of frustration.

The bastard had played you.

With a sharp slam of your hands against the tabletop, you rose from your seat with sudden determination. Storming towards the door, you swung it open with reckless abandon, the howling winds of the tempest beckoning you outside.

"Roronoa Zoro!" your voice carried through the tumultuous air as you marched towards the swordsman. "I refuse to sit idly by while you-"

Your words were drowned out by the roar of the storm, but your intent was clear. You weren't about to remain passive while chaos raged around you.

The sound of crashing waves grew louder as the ship drew nearer to the island's shore, the turbulent waters giving way to a calmer, more serene expanse. As the storm finally relented, leaving behind only the persistent patter of rain, exhaustion hung thick in the air, a palpable reminder of the trials the crew had just endured.

You leaned back against the railing with a heavy sigh, surveying the deck before you. The raging winds and merciless waves had left a lot of damage behind but your eyes inevitably found the swordsman. You watched as Zoro came out from the men’s quarters, his stare meeting yours as he made his way to your side.

"Can't believe you thought you could just order me around like that," you grumbled somewhat lightheartedly as his boots stopped in front of your bare feet.

He chuckled. “Can’t believe it worked.”

You stood there in comfortable silence for a moment. You took him in, the smirk on his lips, the playfulness in his gaze. He’d changed, his drenched clothes replaced by dry ones. He eyed you up and down, taking in the details of your body through the soaked fabric of your pajamas. You cocked your head, wet strands of hair plastering themselves on your cheek as you leaned back further, your back arching against the railing.

"Oh, what's the matter, swordsman? Cat got your tongue?" you taunted, unable to resist the urge to provoke him.

“You should get dressed or you’ll catch a cold,” he said, taking a step forward.

You hummed, considering it. “I’ll just get drenched again,” you replied eyes squinting against the rain as you looked at the heavy clouds. “Besides,” you held up your hand, a small puddle gathering rapidly in your palm. “It’s surprisingly warm.”

With a scoff, he pulled you close. You didn’t resist as he shrugged off his coat and wrapped it around your shoulders, a slightly amused smile gracing your lips at the unexpected action. The gesture itself warmed you far more than the coat ever could.

“You’ll catch a cold, swordsman, giving me your coat like that,” you teased looking up at him through your lashes.

“I don’t catch colds,” he retorted, backing away once more.

“Sure you don’t,” you snorted but you didn’t push further. You passed your arms through the sleeves, wrapping yourself snugly. There was a whiff of his smell that lingered on the edge of your consciousness. It brought a heat to your cheeks.

“Seems like Lady Luck favors you, swordsman,” you mused. Your eyes went back to surveying the ship, instinctively seeking what needed repairs, tallying all you’d have to do. “Looks like we’ll be here for a while.”

He grunted.

“Franky and I are going to be busy, that’s for sure. But it’s pretty much the perfect place for you to try Yokubari,” you observed absentmindedly.

And it was the perfect opportunity.

RWBY: Falls the Shadow [AU/Rewrite]

Aura

Aura in Falls the Shadow is a unique power. Not quite fully 'magic', but not exactly biological in nature. Despite this, Aura is tied deeply into biological functions and every day life.

Aura as a whole is essentially an additional 'system' to the body. Think skeletal, muscular, nervous, etc systems. The Auric system is tied into many of the main body functions/systems, boosting many of them.

The Auric system acts as a sort of additional immune system, provides extra-sensory perception, and is responsible for an additional layer of body language, aka Auric language.

Aura is also known for responding to biological functions. Aura will flare and defensively cover the body instinctively, such as when under threat or during an adrenaline rush, but will fall or shatter extremely easily if this is not a trained ability. Auric training within combat schools and the Academies focus on honing this automatic defense system, keeping it up even when distracted or not thinking about it.

Aura will also be different based on disabilities a person might have. Someone who is immunocompromised might have an extraordinarily weak aura, or someone with autism might struggle to read auric cues due to Aura's ESP being affected, or if you have allergies or mast cell activation syndrome then your Aura might be hyper-sensitive.

'Unlocking' your aura isn't unlocking the ability to use it, but rather unlocking the ability to use it consciously.

As you grow

When you're born, your aura is malleable and dish water gray. While everyone's aura, even at this stage, has small unique things about it, it's still generally the same as other newborn babies.

During this stage, aura is sort of ambiently 'turned on'. Instinctive activation is common for babies, and due to the malleable quality of their aura making it harder to break, keeps them very safe from outside harm.

Up until the age of 5-6, a child's aura color will change many, many times as they slowly discover themselves. IRL, the cutoff point of aura color is tied with the theory of structural dissociation, with around 6 years old being when your ego states finally fuse into one coherent identity (if not interrupted by trauma). Aura follows this pattern, and at 6, a unique color for your aura will finalize and will not change past this age (unless of course, the person has something like DID).

However, aura will still slowly grow, strengthen, and refine past this age, and will fluctuate during puberty. There is generally an 'average' aura strength and aura reserve, but this can differ from person to person. Aura strength, reserves, and auric healing and regeneration can be refined further if trained. After a certain point in development, aura will take on a unique 'texture' and appearance based on the person's personality and traits. This can be shadowy wisps, or an icy sheen, a metallic gleam- anything. This isn't always the case, but it's not abnormal.

Ambient Auric Field

A unique thing about Aura is that everything living has it, with the singular exception of Grimm. This includes people, animals, plants- and technically Remnant itself, if combining these things (though, it's theorized that Remnant does have its own aura, incredibly).

Remnant has an ambient aura field around the entire planet. It's very weak, the atmosphere being the auras 'skin' per se. This ambient aura field is responsible for not only creating and growing Dust, but making it able to be activated and usable at all.

After a certain height, the aura within the field grows stronger, before suddenly ending. This is why Dust becomes inert after leaving the atmosphere; there's nothing to keep it going.

Dust and Aura are deeply entwined because of how Dust forms.

This ambient aura field—and aura as a whole—is how Grimm are able to survive.

Semblances

Semblances are the culmination of ones being, the most refined form of one's aura.

Many believe that your semblance is a reflection of yourself, or that your semblance is what affects your personality. In truth, it's both and neither.

Semblances are most often discovered later in life, whether through an accidental unlocking, years of training, or a traumatic incident. When discovered later, semblances are often a reflection of the person they're attached to. Semblances can't completely change, but they can evolve in special circumstances, but the evolutions are always connected to the base semblance in some way. Prior to being discovered, semblances are typically rather fluid for a while before settling as one discovers themselves.

Semblances can unlock at a young age, and can, at that point, sort of influence who you are. Semblances unlocked at a much younger age seem a bit more 'random' in a way. Before a certain age, though, semblances cannot be discovered. 6 is the youngest possible age to discover your semblance.

Semblances can be just about anything, but always cost some amount of aura.

(Interestingly, while there isn't a ton left of Remnants incredibly long and rich history, prior to a certain point- semblances are never mentioned, and when aura is, it's in slightly different terms and descriptions. It's speculated that humanity didn't always have semblances, and that aura wasn't always so refined. When semblances are mentioned for the first time in incredibly old texts, their existence is always attributed to a particular God in their historical pantheon, and even across cultures, the description of said God stays rather consistent. Always a God of change, of cycles, and one who has many, many faces (one of the iterations has still, more or less, survived today- with the same claim. Specifically, the God Aevis is attributed to giving humanity semblances, and his wife, Striga, aura itself). It's something that many scientists have discussed, but these days it's believed to be a sort of auric phenomenon that happened widespread when humanity/fauni was on the verge of extinction, threatened by the Grimm, as an attempt to keep itself alive. Clearly, it must've worked.)

The Human Body: A Complex Biological Marvel

The human frame is one of the most sophisticated and complicated organic systems in nature. Comprising trillions of cells prepared into tissues, organs, and structures, it performs infinite duties that permit us to live, move, suppose, and sense. From the smallest cellular to the maximum complex organ gadget, every part of the human frame works collectively to preserve balance and support life.

what are the major systems of the human body

The Building Blocks: Cells, Tissues, and Organs

At the maximum simple degree, the human body is made from cells. There are over two hundred different kinds of cells within the human body, each with its unique feature—as an example, muscle cells for movement, nerve cells for conversation, and pink blood cells for oxygen delivery.

Groups of comparable cells shape tissues.

Epithelial tissue, which covers surfaces and features organs

Connective tissue, consisting of bone, blood, and fat

Muscle tissue, which enables motion

Nervous tissue, which transmits signals

Organs just like the heart, lungs, liver, and brain perform precise features critical for survival.

The Major Organ Systems

The human body is prepared into eleven most important organ systems, each with a distinct position:

1. Circulatory System

The blood vessels—arteries, veins, and capillaries—form an in depth network that ensures each mobile receives what it needs.

2. Respiratory System

Key organs encompass the lungs, trachea, and diaphragm. The alveoli within the lungs are tiny sacs wherein oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide is expelled.

3. Digestive System

This device strategies the meals we consume, extracting nutrients and strength even as expelling waste. Starting within the mouth, food travels thru the esophagus to the stomach, where it's far broken down with the aid of acids. The small gut absorbs vitamins, at the same time as the massive gut manages waste.

4 Nervous System

It controls all physical capabilities, from conscious idea to involuntary processes like heartbeat and digestion. The worried gadget permits us to feel the surroundings, react, and make decisions.

5 Muscular System

This system consists of over 600 muscular tissues that allow movement, maintain posture, and convey warmness. It includes:

Cardiac muscle (heart)

6. Skeletal System

It protects organs, enables motion along side muscle mass, and shops minerals like calcium. The bone marrow internal some bones additionally produces blood cells.

7. Endocrine System

The endocrine device regulates bodily capabilities thru hormones, which are chemical messengers. Glands consisting of the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas manipulate boom, metabolism, temper, and reproductive approaches.

8 Immune System

This device defends the frame towards dangerous invaders like micro organism, viruses, and parasites. It includes white blood cells, the lymphatic gadget, antibodies, and organs inclusive of the thymus and spleen.

9. Urinary System

The kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra paintings collectively to provide and get rid of urine.

10. Reproductive System

This machine is liable for producing offspring. In males, it consists of the testes, penis, and associated structures. It also produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

11. Integumentary System

It protects the frame from injury, regulates temperature, and serves because the first line of defense against pathogens.

Amazing Functions of the Human Body

Homeostasis: Keeping Balance

The body continues a strong inner environment thru homeostasis. Whether it’s temperature regulation, pH stability, or blood sugar control, homeostasis ensures that bodily systems operate inside top-rated tiers.

Brain Power

The human mind incorporates around 86 billion neurons. It can system complicated mind, reminiscences, language, and emotions. The mind controls each voluntary moves (like moving an arm) and involuntary ones (like respiratory or digestion).

Healing and Regeneration

When injured, the frame initiates a repair procedure. Platelets clot the blood, white blood cells fight infection, and new cells regenerate broken tissue. Some elements, just like the liver, have tremendous regenerative abilties.

The Five Senses

The frame uses sight, listening to, contact, flavor, and scent to interact with the surroundings. These senses acquire data this is interpreted by way of the brain to assist us make selections and live secure.

Lifespan and Growth

Human development starts at idea and progresses thru infancy, youth, early life, maturity, and vintage age. The body grows, matures, and sooner or later declines through the years. Hormonal changes, life-style, genetics, and surroundings all influence how the body a long time.

Nutrition and Health

A wholesome human body requires a balanced weight loss plan that provides:

Carbohydrates for electricity

Proteins for tissue repair and growth

Fats for power garage and mobile feature

Vitamins and minerals for metabolic approaches

Water for hydration and chemical reactions

Regular workout, adequate sleep, and mental well-being also are essential for keeping correct health.

Diseases and Disorders

Despite its resilience, the human frame can suffer from a extensive variety of illnesses:

Infectious diseases like influenza and COVID-19

Genetic disorders including cystic fibrosis

Mental health situations like melancholy and tension

Modern medicinal drug, mixed with healthful lifestyles, enables manipulate and save you lots of these situations.

The Future of Human Biology

Advancements in technology and medicinal drug retain to reveal extra approximately the human frame. Technologies like genetic engineering, artificial organs, neuroprosthetics, and regenerative medicine are paving the way for longer, healthier lives.

Research in regions just like the human microbiome (the trillions of microbes in our bodies), personalised medicine, and brain-computer interfaces is reshaping how we recognize human fitness.

Is yours the kind of chronic illness you'll recover from? You definitely don't have to answer or give personal details, but I really hope you feel better!

No, it's okay. It's likely that I won't fully recover, but in the past decade, there have been WAY more treatments available that turn down the immune system and combat scarring. And yes, I'm much better, thanks!💖 In a nutshell,

my immune system malfunctioned after an infection, and now it attacks my body in big, big ways—with a tendency to damage the muscles and lungs!

My situation got even weirder because it started attacking my nerves and heart from 2020 onward, which ... usually ppl with my diagnosis, get respiratory failure, not overt heart issues. (Long story, but I got undiagnosed, then rebiopsied, then rediagnosed the same thing *with extra notes.) Anyhoo, the new developments impacted my mobility and stamina in even crazier ways than I was used to. (I have until recently worked a full-time job and pretty much spent ~5-6 days in a gym with an expensive physical therapist just to keep my body functional. Before, I had an acquired skeletal myopathy, but I was able to run a 5k in 42 minutes... I trained like an Olympian and while had to rest a lot more than most, I could do it!)

Now... I can't even manage one day a week of light activity. It's a big adjustment, even for me! I'm having to noodle on how to best manage it going forward. It's always this confusing situation of "Is this the primary illness, secondary damage, or the side effects of toxic medications?"

I'm doing a pretty good job if I do say so myself.

#i have overlap myositis with heart lungs and kidney involvement... in a nutshell #but that makes it sound so simple!#my fam has a tendency towards autoimmunity but we all seem to get our own flavors #most of us affected were in a region erin brockovich targeted for advocacy #so those of us that are living with our conditions have actually been in some environmental studies and case studies #i've had my entire genome sequenced with whole genome coverage and it's fairly cleaner than most #which is wild on its own #i have very strong tree hugger instincts when it comes to water / nature but you won't see my advocacy for those sorts of things on tumblr #i grew up on a superfund site #i participated in a comparative study for flint michigan victims and the twin towers first responder post-inflammatory conditions #health is more environmental than a lot of folks realize #oh and 3M can die in a fire #fuck anyone who wants to dismantle the epa #look up superfund sites in the usa and your hair will curl #disproportionately affects certain segments of the population too

CASSIAN’S RECKONING - Chapter 5: The Truth

CHAPTER SUMMARY: We start to see that Cassian is paying for more than just his own mistakes. And Hera provides Jyn with the means for a rescue.

THIS IS A WHUMPY FIC W/GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE. PLEASE HEED THE TAGS ON AO3.

One of the most common points of feedback I'm getting on this fic is that people are nervous for Cassian LOL!!!!! I love it!!! Thank you to everyone for reading this. I hope you are enjoying.

I realized I forgot to mention in previous chapter notes that some of the stuff in this fic, like Cassian being barefoot, I came up with before the Narkina 5 episodes of Andor came out. I was clearly on the same wavelength as the show's writers.

However, the interrogation techniques used in this fic all came from the "torture" page on Wookieepedia. I have to confess I was SHOCKED (and mildly disturbed) at how much information there is on the subject, but once I started researching, I realized the Empire's devotion to organized oppression reached further than anything I had originally understood. There was the ISB, which was a law enforcement and intelligence organization. Then there was Imperial Intelligence (aka Imperial Military Intelligence) that functioned under its own accord. Then, in Andor we were exposed to an even broader level of enforcement through privatization of corporate militia and prison systems. The Empire was even more of a monstrous chimera than I thought; cutting off one head wouldn't be enough to kill the beast.

So...for all of you who say you are nervous for Cassian...SAME!!!

READ THE FIC ON AO3

ART TEASER

I have mentioned previously that I commissioned 5 pieces of art for this fic. You can see the first piece in chapter 1. Here is a little teaser for the art that goes with chapter 5. You can see the full piece on my patreon for the Jedi Knight and Jedi Master tiers. Thank you again to @amikoroyaiart for this AMAZING art!!!!

——————–

CHAPTER 5: THE TRUTH

All six death troopers were circled tightly around Cassian when Tarkin returned. They stepped back, revealing the rebel, now smeared with blood, his face bruised and his body unnaturally tense. Andor fought for breath, trembling with pain or fear or both. The Grand Moff prowled forward, carefully observing each cut, each achingly contracted rise and fall of the chest, each flinch. Tarkin reached out a long, bony hand and took Cassian by the chin, forcing him to make eye contact by lifting his head. “I trust you haven’t broken his jaw.”

“No, Sir,” the squad leader replied.

“Can you speak?” Tarkin queried, tightening his grip on Andor.

Cassian, nearly delirious, couldn’t force his mouth to move or will his vocal cords to function. All he managed was a choked gasp. His unfocused eyes rolled as his head sagged again. Blood ran down his face and covered Tarkin’s fingers.

“These troopers, these loyal members of the Empire, clearly cannot forgive what you did at Scarif. They’ve made quite a mess of you.”

The planet’s name penetrated Cassian’s consciousness like a cold blade. Jyn. The sand. Her arms wrapped tightly around him. Her fingers closing over his shoulders. Her cheek pressed against his. The room slowly came back into focus.

Tarkin’s skeletal grip constricted further around his jaw. “Each man here lost friends, comrades. Vaporized.”

“Vaporized by your weapon.” Andor struggled to make his dry throat work. “Blame yourself for Scarif.”

Tarkin stared at him for a long time with cruel, empty eyes. “Unrepentant, I see.” He released Cassian and stood straight, rolling back his shoulders.

Manipulation was one of the Grand Moff’s favorite weapons; in fact, he had refined it to an art form. For example, prisoner interrogations were mere games where reality was subjective and the rules could change at any time. One simply needed to invent a narrative that suited the desired outcome.

In this case, Andor was right, Tarkin gave the order to vaporize Scarif.

But truth was irrelevant.

Despite what he said aloud, Tarkin didn’t care one jot for the comrades that had been lost, but he did care about his own reputation. Orson Krennic’s incompetence had allowed this man, this small, insignificant rebel captain, to not only infiltrate Scarif’s citadel, but to steal the plans to Tarkin’s greatest achievement. He refused to allow a man like Andor to humiliate him. The Grand Moff would take his revenge, but he would do so obliquely, without openly using his own motivations. In this way, Andor’s suffering multiplied benefits: it would boost his men’s morale, lead to a wealth of information about the Rebel Alliance, and provide Tarkin with a means for exorcizing his all-encompassing rage caused by Krennic’s ineptitude.

“It’s time we have a proper conversation,” he said, clasping his hands behind his back.

An IT-O interrogator droid appeared in the doorway and hummed forward, its black exterior shining like a sterile mirror.

Cassian’s eyes grew wide with fear.

Tarkin enjoyed watching the rebel’s pride vanish. He turned toward the droid. “I want him lucid and compliant.” The machine extended several arms with syringes in their pinchers and began compiling a combination of injections.

“I see you are familiar with the IT-O units,” Tarkin said while Cassian watched in terror as the droid prepped its needles. “Most rebels know it by reputation. These models use elaborate and scientific methods to extract information. You’re strong and defiant, but we’ll crack you in no time.” The Grand Moff smeared his thumb through blood running down Cassian’s cheek. “We’re already off to a good start.” He pinched Cassian’s jacket collar, cleaning the blood from his finger. “The droid will monitor your vital signs, tracking your involuntary responses and preventing you from losing consciousness. It will also record your interrogation, in case something of value gets lost in your screams. We will capture every little detail. From this moment on, all you will know is pain.”

——————–

“It’s an IPV-1 System Patrol Craft,” General Syndulla said as she led Rogue One into the hangar and up to the sleek silver spaceship. “They were originally used by the Republic, but now the Empire uses them to patrol planetary systems under their control. It’s a corvette, fast, maneuverable.”

Jyn reached out and ran her hand over the hull. “Where did you find it?”

“We confiscated it a long time ago. It flies like a dream, but the IVP-1 has a major setback that makes it less than ideal for most missions.”

“What’s the setback?”

“It’s sublight. No hyperdrive.”

“That is a problem.”

“Yes, but I still think you can use it.” She continued leading Jyn and Rogue One around the exterior. “We’ll get a cruiser to drop you in the Executrix’s vicinity, just far enough away to not show up on their scanners. You fly in, board the star destroyer, find Cassian, and make your escape.”

“But if the ship is sublight, we won’t make it home.”

“You’ll have to steal a different ship to escape, most likely a lambda shuttle. They have tracking beacons, so we’ll have to arrange a pickup where you dump the shuttle before we get you back to base.” Hera waited, allowing the details to fall into place for Jyn. She watched the young woman’s brow pull together.

“It will be tricky. We’ll need a lot of luck to make it work.”

“True. But compared to Scarif, perhaps it’s not so intimidating?”

Jyn nodded.

“Have you given any thought to your cover?” Syndulla asked.

“Yes, we’ll give them what they want.”

“And what’s that?”

“Me.”

Hera’s gaze sharpened. “Are you sure that’s wise?”

“Allowing Tarkin to capture another Scarif rebel is the best chance we have of gaining access to the landing bay. And it all but guarantees we’ll make it to the detention area.” She gestured toward her companions. “Everyone else will be dressed as stormtroopers. They can claim to have intercepted me flying in restricted territory, trying to make a rescue attempt for Cassian.”

“You’ll need at least one officer on board. Take Sergeant Melshi. Since all of Rogue Crew is going, you might as well take him. You can put your necks on the line together. I can confirm Melshi has not been identified by the Empire as a Scarif cohort. Plus, he and Andor are old friends. I’m sure he’ll want to go.”

“What happened to not wanting all of Rogue One on a mission together?”

The general smiled slightly. “I understand there are some missions you have to do together, no matter the risk.”

The corner of Jyn’s mouth pulled up. “I can’t thank you enough for this. But why? When no one else offered help, why are you?”

Hera’s expression became pensive. “For many reasons. Andor has sacrificed a great deal for the Rebellion. We owe him our loyalty.” She took a breath to steady herself. “But mostly because I know what it’s like to lose someone I care for. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do to go back and save the person I lost.” She put her hand on Jyn’s shoulder. “We can never be sure how much time we have with those we love. If you have a chance, Jyn, you take it.”

Top 10 Science-Backed Health Benefits of Using Pure Shilajit Daily

In recent years, pure Shilajit has gained widespread attention for its incredible health benefits. This ancient resin, used for over 3,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, is now being validated by modern science. Rich in fulvic acid, humic substances, and over 80 minerals, Shilajit is a powerhouse of natural wellness.

Here are the top 10 science-backed health benefits of using pure Shilajit daily:

1. Boosts Energy and Fights Fatigue

Shilajit enhances mitochondrial function—the “power plants” of your cells. Studies show it increases the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which provides energy at the cellular level. This means improved stamina, reduced fatigue, and better endurance, especially during physical or mental exertion.

📚 Reference: A 2012 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found Shilajit significantly increased ATP levels in skeletal muscle.

2. Enhances Brain Function and Memory

Fulvic acid, a primary component of Shilajit, has neuroprotective properties. It helps improve memory, focus, and cognitive performance while also reducing oxidative stress in brain tissue.

📚 Reference: Research in the International Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease suggests fulvic acid can prevent tau protein buildup, a key factor in Alzheimer’s disease.

3. Supports Healthy Testosterone Levels

Daily use of Shilajit may increase testosterone levels, improving libido, muscle mass, and energy in men. It can also support reproductive health by enhancing sperm count and motility.

📚 Reference: A clinical trial published in Andrologia (2015) showed that men taking purified Shilajit for 90 days had significantly higher testosterone levels than the placebo group.

4. Improves Heart Health

Shilajit may protect the heart by lowering blood lipid levels and reducing oxidative stress. It also helps regulate blood pressure and enhances circulation.

📚 Reference: Animal studies have shown that Shilajit reduces the risk of heart damage during stress by regulating antioxidant enzymes and maintaining cardiac muscle integrity.

5. Enhances Nutrient Absorption

The fulvic acid in Shilajit acts as a natural transporter, helping the body absorb vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients more efficiently. This can boost the effectiveness of other supplements or dietary sources.

📚 Reference: Studies confirm fulvic acid enhances the permeability of cell membranes, aiding nutrient transport and detoxification.

6. Strengthens the Immune System

Shilajit possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which strengthen immune defense. It may also help modulate the immune response, keeping it balanced and responsive.

📚 Reference: Research in Phytotherapy Research highlights Shilajit’s role in modulating immune cell activity and reducing inflammation markers.

7. Aids in Detoxification

Shilajit binds with heavy metals and other toxins, helping eliminate them from the body. It also supports liver function, the body’s primary detox organ.

📚 Reference: Fulvic acid has been shown to chelate heavy metals and support their excretion through the kidneys and liver.

8. Promotes Anti-Aging and Skin Health

Shilajit’s antioxidant content helps fight free radicals, slowing the aging process. Regular use may improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and promote healthy, glowing skin.

📚 Reference: The Journal of Medicinal Food notes that fulvic acid helps repair skin at the cellular level and protects against UV damage.

9. Supports Joint and Bone Health

Shilajit has anti-inflammatory effects that may reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. It also supports calcium absorption, promoting stronger bones.

📚 Reference: Ayurvedic texts and emerging research suggest its efficacy in managing symptoms of arthritis and supporting musculoskeletal health.

10. Enhances Mood and Reduces Stress

As an adaptogen, Shilajit helps the body adapt to stress and maintain balance. It may also boost dopamine levels, improving mood, motivation, and emotional well-being.

📚 Reference: Studies have shown adaptogens like Shilajit can lower cortisol levels and improve resilience to chronic stress.

Final Thoughts

Incorporating pure Shilajit into your daily routine can be a game-changer for your health and vitality. Whether you're seeking more energy, better brain function, hormone balance, or immune support, this ancient remedy offers a science-supported path to wellness.

✅ Pro Tip: Always choose purified, lab-tested Shilajit from reputable sources to ensure safety and potency.

Is Goat Milk for Dogs a Good Source of Essential Nutrients?

Every dog owner wants to give their pet the best—whether it's the best dog food, regular exercise, or a cozy place to rest. But when it comes to dog nutrition, one superfood is often overlooked: goat milk.

Used for centuries in natural diets, goat milk is more than just a tasty addition to your dog’s bowl. It's a powerhouse of essential nutrients that support digestion, immune function, joint health, and more. But how good is goat milk really? And should it be a regular part of your dog’s diet?

Let’s explore the science behind goat milk for dogs and why it’s earning its place in modern feeding routines.

What Is Goat Milk and How Does It Differ?

Goat milk is the liquid milk produced by female goats and is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and healthy fats. Unlike cow’s milk, goat milk has smaller fat globules and less lactose, making it gentler on the digestive system—especially for dogs with food sensitivities or digestive issues.

Many commercial dog foods—even those labeled as healthy dog food—lack some of the raw, easily digestible nutrients that goat milk naturally offers. That’s where it steps in as a powerful supplement.

Essential Nutrients Found in Goat Milk

So, what exactly makes goat milk nutritious? Here's a breakdown of the most important nutrients and what they do for your dog:

1. Calcium and Phosphorus

These minerals are essential for strong bones, teeth, and muscle contractions. Whether your pet is a growing puppy or a senior dog, calcium supports skeletal health, while phosphorus aids in cellular repair and kidney function.

2. Vitamin A

Supports eye health, immune defense, and skin repair. Goat milk contains a natural form of vitamin A that is highly bioavailable—meaning your dog can absorb and use it more efficiently than synthetic versions.

3. Vitamin B Complex

B vitamins like B1, B2, B3, and B12 in goat milk promote healthy metabolism, nerve function, and red blood cell production. These are especially important for active dogs or those recovering from dog illnesses.

4. Magnesium and Potassium

These minerals regulate hydration, nerve signaling, and muscle function. Potassium also supports healthy heart function, which is especially beneficial for senior dogs or pets prone to cardiovascular issues.

5. Probiotics and Enzymes

Raw or fermented goat milk is rich in natural probiotics and enzymes, which enhance gut flora and support digestion. This helps with feeding dogs who experience bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or flatulence.

6. Medium-Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs)

Goat milk contains MCFAs that are easier to digest and offer quick energy. They’re also known for their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits, helping dogs with skin issues, joint discomfort, and immune weakness.

Goat Milk for Puppies, Adults, and Seniors

Goat milk is one of the few supplements that benefits dogs at all stages of life:

For Puppies

Goat milk is gentle and nutrient-dense—ideal for feeding puppies, especially when transitioning from mother’s milk to puppy kibble or puppy food. The high calcium and enzyme content aids early bone development and gut health.

For Adult Dogs

When added to adult dog food, goat milk helps fill nutritional gaps and supports overall vitality. It can also improve appetite, which is great for picky eaters or dogs recovering from illness.

For Senior Dogs

As dogs age, they may lose interest in food or struggle to digest dry dog kibble. Goat milk softens food and boosts nutrient absorption, helping to maintain energy, mobility, and organ health.

Helps Dogs with Sensitive Stomachs

Many dogs have trouble digesting certain types of dog food, especially those with artificial additives or low-quality protein sources. Goat milk, thanks to its enzymes and probiotics, soothes the gut lining and encourages proper nutrient absorption.

It’s also helpful for:

Dogs recovering from antibiotics

Dogs with recurring upset stomach or IBS

Dogs with chronic dog ailments

Dogs with food intolerances

Unlike cow’s milk, goat milk rarely causes bloating or gas and is better tolerated in dogs with mild lactose sensitivity.

Can Goat Milk Replace Regular Dog Food?

Goat milk isn’t a replacement for balanced dog meals, but it’s an excellent supplement. Think of it like a multivitamin in liquid form—adding a nutrient boost to whatever your dog is already eating.

You can pair goat milk with:

Dog kibble (to add flavor and moisture)

Wet food (to increase nutritional variety)

Homemade meals (to improve balance)

Treats or toppers (for enrichment)

Whether your dog is on a raw diet or senior dog food, goat milk adapts easily.

How to Serve Goat Milk to Your Dog

Most dogs love the taste of goat milk. It’s creamy, mildly sweet, and easy to incorporate into daily feeding. Here are a few simple serving ideas:

Pour it over kibble as a meal topper

Freeze it into cubes as summer treats

Mix it with dog treats or bone broth

Serve it solo as a light snack

Blend it with pumpkin or oats for a homemade meal boost

Start with small portions—1 to 2 tablespoons for small dogs, up to ½ cup for large dogs—and observe for any changes in digestion or behavior.

Choosing the Right Goat Milk Product

Not all goat milk is created equal. Look for:

Raw or fermented goat milk: Highest in probiotics and enzymes

No added sugar or preservatives: Keeps it dog-safe

Pet-safe labeling: Indicates the product is processed and handled for animal consumption

Some premium options even include added herbs like turmeric or ginger to support dogs with inflammation or joint issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all dogs have goat milk? Most dogs tolerate goat milk well. But if your dog has a severe dairy allergy or a diagnosed digestive condition, check with your vet first.

Is goat milk safe for puppies? Yes. It’s ideal during weaning or for underweight puppies. Make sure it's plain and pet-safe.

Can I give goat milk daily? Yes, when used in moderation. It complements most dog diets and provides daily nutritional support.

Final Thoughts

So, is goat milk for dogs a good source of essential nutrients? Absolutely. It delivers a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and probiotics—all in a highly digestible form. Whether you're supporting a growing puppy, nourishing an adult dog, or caring for a senior with special needs, goat milk is one of the simplest, most natural ways to boost your dog’s health.

From gut health and immune support to bone strength and hydration, the benefits go far beyond basic nutrition. As more dog owners seek functional, whole-food options, goat milk stands out as a time-tested solution that meets both biological and practical needs.

If you’re ready to elevate your dog’s meals with something both delicious and nutritious, goat milk might be the missing piece in your dog feeding routine.

Looking to incorporate goat milk into your dog’s current diet? Let me know their age, size, and health concerns—and I’ll help you create a balanced plan that fits.

Layout & Composition – The Skeleton of Great Design

You’ve got your colors, your fonts, your logo, your cool illustration of a cat wearing glasses. But how do you arrange all that without it looking like chaos on caffeine?

That’s where layout comes in. It’s how you organize elements on a canvas to create visual hierarchy, flow, and clarity. It’s the invisible scaffolding that makes everything look intentional.

📐 What Is Composition in Graphic Design?

Composition is the arrangement of visual elements to guide the viewer’s eye and communicate a message. It balances form and function.

A good layout:

Has a clear focal point

Creates visual flow

Balances space and elements

Uses alignment and proximity smartly

Feels intentional, not cluttered

In other words: it whispers to your brain, “Don’t worry, I got this.”

🧱 Fundamental Layout Principles

Here are the heavy-hitters you’ll lean on constantly:

1. The Grid System

Think of it as the skeletal system of design.

Helps you align text, images, and elements cleanly.

Can be simple (2–3 columns) or complex (modular grids in magazines).

Even Instagram uses a 3x3 layout. Coincidence? Nope.

2. Hierarchy

It’s how you show what’s most important.

You guide the viewer’s attention using size, color, weight, and placement.

Big titles, bold CTAs, smaller captions. Easy to scan. No guesswork.

3. Alignment

Nothing screams “amateur” louder than elements floating randomly.

Use left, right, center, or justified alignment consistently.

Pro tip: Don’t eyeball it—use your design tool’s align features.

4. White Space (Negative Space)

Not wasted space—breathing room.

Helps avoid visual clutter.

Gives elements room to shine and improves readability.

Think of it like a pause in a conversation. It gives impact.

5. Proximity

Group related elements close together.

Keeps things organized.

Example: Don’t leave your CTA button miles away from your headline. They’re friends!

6. Repetition

Reuse design elements (shapes, colors, fonts) to create unity.

Makes your work feel cohesive and intentional.

📏 Layout Types You Should Know

Here are a few classics:Layout StyleBest ForDescriptionZ-PatternWebsites, postersMimics how Western readers scan—top left to bottom rightF-PatternText-heavy pages, blogsReaders skim like an "F" – down and acrossAsymmetricalModern, dynamic designsUneven elements balanced visuallyModular/GridEditorial, portfoliosUses strict blocks for clean orderSplit ScreenDual CTAs, comparisons50/50 division of the canvas

🎯 How to Create Visual Focus

When everything is loud, nothing is heard. So decide what your viewer should see first. Then guide them like a design GPS using:

Size: Bigger = more important

Color: High contrast draws attention

Placement: Top left or center is prime real estate

Isolation: Give it breathing room to stand out

🔥 Quick Composition Mistakes to Avoid

Misaligned text or shapes 🙈

Too much text crammed together 🥴

Lack of contrast (especially with backgrounds)

Uneven margins or padding

Using 17 different fonts (pick 2–3 max, remember?)

💻 Layout in Action Across Mediums

Web design: Responsive grids ensure consistency across devices.

Posters: Big bold focal point, clear text hierarchy.

Editorial: Modular grids for clean columns.

Social media: Z-patterns and symmetry for scannability.

Each format has its own quirks—but layout principles stay consistent.

🧠 Unique Fact of the Day

The Gutenberg Bible, printed in the 1450s, wasn’t just the first major printed book—it also used a grid system. That's right, your modern-day layout templates are just fancy medieval tech. 👀

Also: Apple’s 12-column grid system has become an industry standard for web and app design. It’s like layout gospel for UI designers.

🧪 Today’s Challenge: Build a Layout Using a Grid

Pick a canvas (poster, webpage, magazine spread) and:

Create a simple grid (3 or 4 columns)

Define a hierarchy: title > subtitle > body > image > CTA

Use alignment and white space to organize the content

Bonus: Try an asymmetrical twist for a modern feel

Once you learn layout, your design instantly feels 10x more professional—even if you're still using free fonts and drawing with a mouse.
