#gently imply that theyre post post post post apocalyptic

[transarsonist]

Ok hot concept:

Some sort of redwall inspired book series, but at some point in the series the characters must make their way through a strange land.

Human readers might recognize the dissaranged spikes, the screeching towers, and they might even recognize the poem that a strange sect of creatures tells them before they attempt to cross the land.

The creatures forestall them at the border, and try to agress the travelers before it is made clear that they only wish to pass Through, and Quickly.

"this place is a message and part of a gathering of messages, listen well! Remembering and telling this message is important to us. We were taught by a powerful culture."

The strange monks chant in unison

"This is a place of dishonor, no esteemed deeds will be remembered here. Nothing can have value here. All that remains is Dangerous and Repulsive. This message is a warning about that danger"

#i just think that it would be neat if like #more story tellers that like #gently imply that theyre post post post post apocalyptic #included some things like this. like. Most kids wont get it. but then theyll grow up and be like #OH MY GOD IT WAS RADIOACTIVE
