The Golden MirrorThe morning fog clung to the cobblestones of Harrowgate like a wet shroud, obscuring the sharp angles of the town hall and the silent, waiting rows of the market square, where the air smelled of damp wool, roasted chestnuts, and the faint, metallic tang of the river that bisected the settlement into two halves of stone and shadow. Silas Vane stood at the edge of the crowd, his hands clasped...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe wind did not howl in the high moors of the Scottish Highlands, as the poets of the lowlands liked to imagine, but rather it sighed, a long, ragged exhalation of cold that seeped into the marrow and settled there with the weight of old, unspoken grief. Sergeant Elias Thorne walked with the heavy, deliberate cadence of a man who had learned long ago that stillness was a luxury he could not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden GreenhouseThe road was red. Not the red of brick. Not the red of rust. The red of old blood. Thick. Sticky. Sweet. Caelen walked. His boots sank. Deeper. Deeper. Into the mud. The mud whispered. It knew his name. It knew his debt. He carried the sack. Heavy. Cold. Inside, the fruit. The Golden Apples. They glowed. Softly. Like embers. Like eyes. They pulsed against his hip. A heartbeat. Not his. He had...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe fever took my left hand first. It was not a sudden amputation, but a slow, sickening transformation, as if the bone were turning to water and the skin to rot. I sat in the stone chamber of the keep, the air thick with the smell of damp wool and old blood, and watched the fingers twist. They were no longer my fingers. They were the fingers of the thing that had come to collect what was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe tower stood against the gray sky. It was old. Stone. Cold. Elias stood at the base. He held his rifle. He was tired. His bones ached. The wind bit his face. He looked up. The windows were dark. The court was empty. Just the snow. And the silence. Elias tightened his grip. The metal bit his palm. He was a soldier. Or so they said. A guard for the King. But the King was gone. Or maybe he...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded River"You look thin, Thomas." The voice was low, raspy, like gravel shifting under a boot. It came from the shadows of the doorway. Thomas did not turn. He kept his eyes on the fire. The flames licked at the damp wood, spitting sparks into the dark. He felt the weight of the gaze on his back. It was a physical thing, a heavy hand resting on his shoulder. He knew who it was. He had known for weeks,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PortraitThe fog does not merely sit upon the valley; it possesses it, a thick, gray wool that suffocates the sharp edges of the world and renders the ancient stone walls of the keep into mere suggestions of mass, and you stand at the center of this suffocating embrace, your hands resting not upon the hilt of a sword, but upon the cold, unyielding surface of a oak table that has witnessed a century of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe smell of burnt sugar and stale coffee hung in the air of the municipal canteen, a cloying perfume that clung to the wool of Arthur Penhaligon’s suit and seeped into the pores of his skin, marking him as one of the lesser clerks who had forgotten how to leave their offices before the rain began to fall outside the tall, grimy windows. It was November in Leeds, a month where the light died...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe soup was thick. It smelled of iron and burnt sugar. You held the bowl with both hands, the ceramic warm against your palms, the steam rising in thin, grey ribbons that curled into the cold air of the dining hall. Around you, the officers ate. They chewed with the mechanical precision of men who had long since stopped tasting food and started consuming fuel. You were a Sergeant in the Bureau...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
