Lodestar

Lodestar (tentative name) is an original story by Ningyo. It's about a girl named Mei, Qaru culture, and revolution.

Story
Mei is a girl who was born in the country of Kina. Hers being an extremely homophobic country, she is kicked out of home at the age of 19 when her parents find out that she’s a lesbian.

For weeks she wanders, searching for a population she’s only heard to be a legend, and she eventually finds it in a forest on the border of her country.

Qaru people are a prevalently homosexual race who live in male-only and female-only villages and rarely ever exit their forest. They don’t wear much due to the hot climate, and they worship a Goddess.

The men of the males’ village find her and take her into custody, and Mei hopes they will take her to the women’s village, where she might be able to settle and start a new life… but things don’t go exactly as planned.
