The Distant SummerThe mist had not yet lifted from the valley floor when Elias Thorne stood at the edge of the precipice, his boots sinking into the wet, spongy moss that clung to the ancient roots of the oaks, and he watched the small, shivering figure of his friend, Julian Vane, retreat into the grey void, the only sound accompanying the departure being the hollow, rhythmic creak of the rope bridge swaying in...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 3 Views 0 previzualizare

The Golden CircuitThe letter was found in the hollow of an old oak, its ink faded to the color of dried blood, the paper brittle as autumn leaves. It is addressed to no one, and to everyone, a testament written in the hand of Silas Vane, the last of the glassblowers in the town of Oakhaven, in the year before the silence took the wind. You are reading this now, perhaps with a shiver that has nothing to do with...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 4 Views 0 previzualizare

The Golden MazeThe banquet hall smelled of roasted pheasant and stale wine, a thick, cloying perfume that clung to the wool of Arthur’s coat. He stood near the edge of the room, his hands clasped tightly behind his back, watching the candlelight flicker against the high, vaulted ceiling. It was a celebration of tenure, a rare honor for a man of his years, and the faculty had gathered in a state of...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

The Pale ProtocolThe mud sucked at his boots. It was thick and cold. It smelled of iron and rot. Elias dragged his leg through the sludge. The weight of it was a physical thing. A ghost hand pulling him down. He stopped. He breathed. The air tasted of ash. Around him, the trees were wrong. They were black. They had no leaves. They stood like burnt bones against a gray sky. The sky did not move. It was a sheet...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

The Wistful MountainThe ink was drying on the ledger when the first knock came, a sound so sharp and final it seemed to crack the silence of the room like a whip against a frozen lake. I did not look up immediately; I was too busy calculating the cost of a man’s dignity, trying to assign a number to the value of a name that had been spoken in the town square for forty years. The scratch of my quill against the...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

The Faded PortraitThe rain in the city of Aethelgard did not wash the streets clean; it merely turned the grime into a slick, black mirror that reflected the gaslight back up at the sky, a sickly, yellow stare that never blinked. Elias Thorne stood on the corner of Weaver’s Lane, his uniform pressed tight against his ribs, the fabric stiff with the damp and the heavy, metallic taste of the air that hung over the...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 2 Views 0 previzualizare

The Wistful AsylumThe wind did not howl on the moors of the Old Kingdom, for it had no voice, only a hunger that scraped against the stone walls of the watchtower like a thousand dry fingers seeking entry. It was in this silence, broken only by the creak of the ancient oak door, that Master Silas stood, his back rigid against the cold, watching his apprentice, Thomas, struggle with the heavy woolen cloak that...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 5 Views 0 previzualizare

The Wistful WitnessThe bells of St. Jude’s did not ring to mark the hour, but to mourn the departure, a low, bronze-throated lament that rolled across the slate roofs of the monastery and settled in the marrow of Elias like a stone. He stood at the arched window of the scriptorium, his hands pressed against the cold glass, watching the courtyard below where his mother, Margaret, was being led away by two monks in...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 18 Views 0 previzualizare

The Wistful MirrorThe iron bar of the gate shrieked against the stone of the keep, a sound like a dying animal tearing through the thick, grey morning fog that clung to the ramparts of Aethelgard, and I stood there with my hand still wrapped around the hilt of my sword, my knuckles white and trembling not from the cold which bit at my face like the teeth of a wolf, but from the sudden, terrifying realization...0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 4 Views 0 previzualizare
