The Golden CrossingThe axe bit deep into the oak. Wood splintered. A scream tore the air. Captain Elias Thorne held his ground. His boots were rooted in the mud. The rain fell like needles. He watched the blade fall. It missed his eye by an inch. The woodchopper did not stop. The rhythm continued. Chop. Scream. Chop. Scream. This was the court of King Aldric. Or what remained of it. The Great Hall was a skeleton...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant TempleThe bell tolled not from a tower, but from the earth itself. A deep, resonant thud vibrated through the soles of Aldous’s boots, shaking the dust from his tattered cloak. He stood in the center of the circular pit, the air thick with the scent of wet stone and old blood. Around him, the jagged pillars of the subterranean hall rose like broken teeth, catching the faint, ghostly light that leaked...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe iron gate of the village did not open for the storm, but it did not close against the wind either. It stood as a witness, its rust flaking off in slow, orange curls that settled on the cobblestones like blood. Elias Thorne stood before it, his hands tucked into the pockets of his wool coat, watching the mist thicken until the world beyond the village limits dissolved into a gray...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe coughing match had been running for three weeks, a relentless, rattling siege that turned the sterile air of the infirmary into a thick, suffocating fog of rust and iron. You sat on the edge of the cot, your hands folded tightly in your lap, feeling the vibration of the sickness in your own chest, as if the disease had traveled from your mother’s lungs to yours through the mere proximity of...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden SongThe air in the cellar tasted of wet chalk and old iron, a metallic tang that coated the back of my throat and refused to wash away. I sat on a crate of broken clay pipes, my knees drawn up to my chest, watching the single candle gutter in the draft that seeped through the stone floor. My brother, Julian, sat across from me, his hands wrapped around a mug of tea that had long since gone cold. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CellarThe train hisses, a long, metallic exhale that smells of coal smoke and damp wool. You step off the platform at Harrowgate, the air biting at your exposed skin, cold and sharp as a blade. Your left knee throbs. It has been throbbing for three weeks, a dull, rhythmic pulse that mirrors the hammering of your heart. You are looking for a place to heal, a sanctuary where the body can be mended...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded GuestThe clock in the main hall of the Whitmore & Sons textile factory did not tick. It hummed, a low, persistent vibration that seemed to rise from the floorboards themselves, resonating in the teeth of every man and woman who stood within its shadow. It was a beautiful, terrible sound, like the purr of a sleeping cat made of iron and steam. Thomas Bradshaw stood at the center of the floor, his...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a thick, gray veil that smelled of wet stone and old iron. Commander Silas Vane stood on the threshold of the gatehouse, his hand resting on the hilt of a sword that had not been forged by any smith in the known world. Across the courtyard, a single white moth beat its wings against the glass of the watchtower window. It was a small, frantic...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded MasqueradeThe rain does not fall so much as it hangs, a gray curtain drawn tight against the windows of the moving train, blurring the landscape into a smear of wet earth and iron. You are sitting in the corner of a compartment that smells of damp wool and old coffee, your fingers wrapped around a cup that has gone cold an hour ago. You are leaving. That is the only thing that is true. The departure is a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
