This Is My Land (Patreon)

I stand on the hill, the wind brushing against my skin, the sky endless above me, and I feel it—this land beneath my feet, my land. It isn’t just earth and sky anymore; it’s something alive, something that recognizes me. This land has seen its people come and go, but now? Now it bends to me. Now it belongs to me, in a way it’s never belonged to anyone else.

I’ve grown, in ways that no one could’ve imagined. My body, once small and unnoticed, is now a monument to strength. My shoulders are broad, my arms carved with thick muscle that flexes with every slight movement. My legs, massive and powerful, feel like they’re rooted into the earth itself, as if they could shake the ground with just one step. I’m not just strong—I’m unstoppable.

I look down at my hands, thick and calloused, and smile. These hands could lift boulders, could tear trees from the ground if I wanted. The rivers that once carved this land over millennia feel like nothing compared to what I can do now. My strength isn’t just physical—it’s a connection, a power that comes from knowing this land is mine. Every challenge it throws my way—hills, rocks, storms—I meet it head-on and conquer it.

The animals scatter when I move through the woods, their instincts understanding what others might take longer to grasp: I’m the one in control now. I could outrun a horse, pull a cart loaded with more weight than most could imagine, or climb to the highest cliff with ease. The land doesn’t resist me—it yields to me, recognizing its master.

As I gaze out across the horizon, my muscles tense as if ready to take on the entire world. The wind carries with it the scent of pine, of water, of the endless expanse of my kingdom. Because that’s what this is now—my kingdom. Not borrowed, not shared, not stolen. Mine.

This land has seen the strength of my ancestors, but now it knows something new. It knows me. It knows what I’ve become. And as I stand here, towering over everything in my path, I know one thing for certain: nothing will ever take this from me. Not now, not ever.
