The Wistful SagaThe carriage wheels groaned against the cobblestones of the capital, a sound that echoed in the hollows of Thomas Bradshaw’s chest like the settling of a bone long broken and poorly mended, as he traveled toward the Palace of White Stone with a leather satchel strapped across his shoulder that contained nothing but a single, rusted iron key and a letter written in ink that had long since dried...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaThe rain did not fall so much as it hovered, a grey, suspended veil that turned the courtyard of the Blackthorn Keep into a pool of stagnant water. Elias Thorne stood at the edge of the wet stone, his hand resting on the hilt of a sword that had seen more blood than his own veins had ever carried, watching the mist curl around the ancient oaks that bordered the grounds. The trees were still....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RiverThe frost had not yet taken the fields of Oakhaven, but the air held a bite that settled deep in the marrow, a cold that whispered of endings before they had even begun. In the cottage at the edge of the village, where the thatch sagged under the weight of years and woodsmoke, Elias sat by the dying fire. His hands, rough as oak bark and stained with the indigo of the cloth he dyed, trembled...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RoadI woke with the taste of iron in my mouth. It was thick. Cloying. Like old blood. I lay still on the cold stone floor of the barracks. The air was stale, smelling of damp wool and unwashed men. My heart hammered against my ribs. A heavy, dull thud. I knew it was a dream. I always knew it was a dream. But the fear remained. It clung to me. It settled into my bones. I sat up. My hands shook. I...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ParadoxThe road to Oakhaven was slick with rain. You walked it with the weight of your instruments. The compass hung at your hip, its needle trembling. The barometer clicked low. The sky was a bruised purple. You were the new assessor. The town did not expect you. They expected a man with a beard and a heavy coat. You were neither. You were a seeker of truths. You carried the seal of the Crown. It was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe fog sits heavy on the stone floor. It is wet. It is cold. You feel it in your teeth. You feel it in the marrow of your bones. You are not here. You are in a dream. The dream is a cell. The cell is dark. The walls are black stone. They are old. They are wet. You hold the sword. It is your hand. It is your body. You cannot separate the steel from the flesh. The hilt is worn smooth. It fits...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MazeThe train smelled of wet wool and rust. Elias kept his head down, watching the gray blur of the English countryside slide past the glass. He was not a man who liked to look up. Looking up invited memory, and memory was a heavy thing to carry across a border. Beside him, his sister Clara sat rigid, her hands folded in her lap like a prayer she no longer believed in. They had crossed the sea...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded SutraThe wind does not ask permission to enter, nor does it offer an apology when it tears the last strip of warmth from your skin, and you stand there, in the middle of the white, silent expanse, where the horizon dissolves into a fog so thick it feels less like weather and more like a physical wall of milk and ash, and you are not thinking about the cold, though it is a living thing, biting into...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant PromiseThe furnace coughed. It was a wet, rattling sound. A death rattle. Silas held the wrench. His knuckles were white. The metal was hot. It burned through his gloves. He did not let go. The boiler room was small. Brick walls. Dark. The air tasted of sulfur and old sweat. "Pressure is high," Silas said. He spoke to the machine. He always spoke to the machine. "Too high," the machine replied. It did...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
