Colonization: Treachery in the Woods, Survival & Betrayal (Sci-Fi Flash Blues)

In Treachery, the forest's silence is a sign of a deeper danger. As Caleb leads a small team through the forest, survival demands choices that may unravel everything the colonists have built. Beneath the shadowed canopy, betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, leaving scars that will shape the path ahead.

Join me for a tale where every action may hint at betrayal. Trust between allies teeters on a knife’s edge, where even the smallest misstep could shatter the fragile alliance.

🎵 This chapter is paired with my original blues piece called "Creeping". It contains a deliberate rhythm that underscores and amplifies the unease between the three races. It also echoes the slow unraveling of trust between them all while one team stalks through a forest.

Behind the Scenes:
When I was originally writing this tale, I needed something to upend the fragile alliance that I created. In the previous entries, I've highlighted the political prowess of Tarian. In contrast, with this installment of the series, I wanted to explore the idea that not all fractures come from common enemies. Sometimes betrayal begins as nothing more than a hint, and grows into something impossible to ignore.
