Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it\u2019s connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story has multiple influences, from a show I watched in childhood to a writing prompt to a previous episode featuring non-human arena battles,\u201dGreat Persidain\u201d &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; MY FIRST BOOK (yay)Ever wonder how I\u2019ve gotten all these hundreds of stories written?&amp;nbsp; I have a method.

Five figures arrayed in flanking formation. At center is a human woman facing forward from waist up. She holds her hands before her, facing each other. A glowing ball of light is suspended between her fingers. Along the forearm part of her left armband, a lightning bolt glows. She wears color-blocked exercise clothes. A humanoid lizard sits to her right and behind, raising her right arm as if in greeting. She wears a scarf around her neck, and a breastplate displaying circuitry. To the lizard\u2019s right and behind is a giant seagull, wings outspread, head raised, and beak open, blasting out a ray of swirling circles. To the human woman\u2019s left, a toad springs up and out. To the toad\u2019s left and behind, a unicorn with a rainbow mane rears up, her horn blasting forth a ribbon of light. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d appears along the edge of the seagull\u2019s wings. The rectangular image is made square with top and bottom borders with streaks of colors matching the rainbow hues of the main image.
