The Wistful SagaThe heavy oak door of the manor creaked open with a sound like a dying breath, admitting the damp chill of the Yorkshire moors into the warm, dust-mote air of the study. Elias Thorne stood on the threshold, his shoulders hunched against the wind that had been howling all afternoon, his face a map of deep, etched lines that spoke of years spent hunched over parchment and stone. He was a man who...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful WitnessThe rain does not fall; it hangs in the air, a grey curtain woven from the breath of the earth itself, blurring the boundary between the forest and the castle walls you are approaching. You are riding a horse that is too old for the journey, its ribs showing like the slats of a broken cage beneath its hide, and you are wearing armor that is too heavy for the soul it protects. You are Sir Julian...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant LegendThe rain had been falling on the roof of the old manor for three days, a steady, gray drumbeat that seemed to drown out the rest of the world, leaving only the sound of water sliding off slate and the low, persistent hum of the heating pipes in the walls. Elias Thorne sat in his study, a room that smelled of damp wool, old paper, and the sharp, metallic tang of fear. He was a man who had spent...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded QuadrantThe rain fell upon the stone walls of the abbey with the persistence of a debt that could never be fully paid, a rhythmic, hollow drumming that seemed to hollow out the very marrow of the young scholar, Julian Vane, as he sat hunched over his desk in the narrow, windowless scriptorium where the air tasted of damp wool, old parchment, and the metallic tang of rusted ink. He was not a man who...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CircuitThe hall is cold. The air bites. You are here. The stones are old. They remember. You remember. The fire dies. The embers glow. Red. Then black. You stand before the gate. It is iron. It is high. It is closed. The gold is in your hand. It is heavy. It is warm. It burns. You hold it tight. Your fingers ache. You do not drop it. You never drop it. The door opens. A man walks in. He is tall. He is...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe feast in the great hall of Ashworth was a thing of terrible, vibrant life, a swirling vortex of roasted boar, spilled wine, and the deafening laughter of men who did not know that the ground beneath their feet was slowly sinking into the earth. Old Elias stood at the edge of the firelight, his armor cold against his skin, a layer of dust from the centuries settling into the creases of his...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant AffairThe rain had been falling for three days, a persistent, gray curtain that turned the cobblestones of the old district into mirrors of the weeping sky, and I stood in the doorway of my workshop, watching the water drip from the eaves in a rhythm that felt less like weather and more like the slow, inevitable leaking of time from the city’s bones, my hands still stained with the indigo ink of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain hits the glass. It sounds like static. You are alone. The office is cold. Your breath fogs. You wipe it away. The fog returns. It is a cycle. It is a prison. You look at the door. It is heavy. Oak. Dark wood. It has no handle. It does not open from the inside. You know this. You have always known this. But you knock anyway. One knock. Two. Three. Silence answers. You turn to the desk....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe rain fell like a judgment. It was cold. It was wet. It soaked into the wool of his uniform until the fabric felt like skin. Elias Thorne stood at the corner of Elm and 4th. He watched the puddles form. They mirrored the grey sky. They mirrored the broken streetlights. He adjusted his collar. The brass buttons bit into his throat. A siren wailed in the distance. It sounded like a scream....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
