The Wistful VoyageThe dream came to Thomas Whitmore not as a vision of light or glory, but as a heavy, suffocating weight of wet wool and the scent of ancient, rotting cedar, a sensory assault that pinned his consciousness to the floor of his workshop while the rain hammered against the leaded glass of the transom, blurring the world outside into a smear of grey and black. He was not in his shop in the village...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant BladeThe rain did not fall. It hovered. A thick, gray mist clung to the cobblestones of the Whitehall District, turning the world into a watercolor sketch left out in the damp. Silas Vane walked with his head down. He was a small man. A clerk. A man made of paper and ink. He carried a leather satchel that weighed nothing but felt heavy against his hip. Inside, wrapped in oilcloth, was the Seal. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful IncenseThe bell rang. It did not chime. It screamed. A jagged sound that tore the morning air and bled into the cobblestones of the village square. You stood there. Your hand rested on the hilt of your sword. The leather was worn. The steel was cold. You were the Warden. You were the shield. You were the lie. Edward stood beside you. His face was pale. His eyes were wide. He held a basket of eggs....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful VoyageThe heavy velvet curtain in the center of the hall has been bleeding, you see, or perhaps it is merely the dust settling in the slant of light that filters through the high, stained-glass windows, but it looks like blood, a slow, crimson ooze that stains the white floorboards with the quiet persistence of a memory you cannot scrub out of your mind, and you stand there, your hands trembling in...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsThe mud was thick with the blood of horses and men, a slick, dark paste that clung to Thomas Bradshaw’s boots as he dragged his sword through the muck. He was not a man who thought before he swung; he was a man who swung before he thought, a blunt instrument of the King’s will in a world that had gone mad with its own machinery. Around him, the air tasted of iron and burnt parchment, the scent...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded DustThe fever breaks not with a chill, but with a taste. Copper and ash. You open your mouth to scream, but only a dry rasp escapes. The room is white. Blindingly, aggressively white. The walls sweat condensation that drips in slow, rhythmic beads onto the floorboards. You are not in your office. You are not in the library. You are in a place that smells of ozone and old paper, a scent that has no...0 Comments 0 Shares 7 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale EchoThe rain did not fall so much as it existed, a constant, heavy presence that turned the moor into a grey smear of mud and thorn. I wiped the water from my glasses, my hands shaking not from the cold but from the adrenaline that still hummed in my bones. Ahead of me, the figure in the black coat stood perfectly still in the center of the path, facing away from me. He did not turn. He did not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe rain had not stopped for three days, a relentless, gray curtain that blurred the boundary between the stone walls of the Keep and the churning waters of the moat below, and it was within this damp, suffocating enclosure that Sir Cedric Ashworth stood, his hand resting on the hilt of a sword that had not been drawn in forty years, listening to the rhythmic, hollow thud of the water against...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ApartmentI woke with the taste of iron and old dust on my tongue, the silence of the cell pressing against my eardrums like deep water. The stone walls of the Citadel were damp, weeping with the cold that had settled into the bones of the city, but in my mind, the air was dry and sharp, filled with the scent of pine needles and the distant, unchanging green of the high meadows beyond the city walls. I...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
