Humans Are Healers – A Short Sci-Fi Story

Usually the mana that existed on a world would affect the inhabitants based on their environment, giving them advantages over whatever the overarching theme of their world was.

Desert worlds had an abundance of water mages, inhabitants of water worlds mostly specialized in wind magic, and those who lived on barren worlds commonly had increased vitality and physical abilities such as endurance and enhanced senses to ensure they could survive.

Emperor Baby Boots [Comic]

For those who do not know, Emperor “Caligula” was not his real name. His actual name was Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. From History.com:

Think of it as the ancient equivalent of miniature Nikes and tuxedo-imprinted onesies: Even in Roman times, parents liked to proudly dress their progeny in tiny versions of grownup gear. And so, when the respected general Germanicus brought his son Gaius on campaign, the tyke sported soldier’s footwear, or caligae, scaled down to his size. (Some scholars think his wife Agrippina, granddaughter of the Emperor Augustus, chose the getup to emphasize her family’s imperial pedigree.) Either affectionately or mockingly, Germanicus’ troops called the boy “Caligula,” meaning “Little Boots” or “Booties.” The nickname stuck, but Gaius reportedly hated it.
