The Pale MeridianThe carriage wheels bit into the packed mud of the courtyard, sending up a spray of wet earth that settled like grey dust on the hem of my uniform. I did not look down at the stain. I could not look down at anything that was not moving, not anything that did not carry the weight of the day I was leaving behind. My father stood by the steps of the manor, his silhouette a jagged cut against the...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaThe fog had not lifted. It clung to the stone walls of the keep, a damp, grey shroud that smelled of wet wool and old rot. Thomas stood at the window. His hands were shaking. Not from the cold. The cold was a distant thing. It was the hunger. It gnawed at his ribs like a rat. He had not eaten in two days. The bread was stale. The water was cold. But the silence was worse. The silence had...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe rain in the valley of Ashenmoot did not fall so much as it seeped, a cold, persistent mist that clung to the wool of Elara’s cloak and seeped into the marrow of her bones, blurring the boundary between the wet stone of the road and the damp earth of the world. She walked with a purpose that was not hers, a rigid, mechanical cadence imposed by the hunger in her belly and the heavier, more...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant AffairThe loom did not break; it sang, a high, thin note that cut through the humid air of the workshop like a blade through silk, and when the sound died, the bolt of crimson cloth that had been spinning for three days lay slack and dead, the threads unraveling not into a mess, but into a precise, geometric cage of red wool that trapped the shuttle in its center. I stood there, my hands still...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe rain fell on the cobblestones of Oakhaven like a fine grey powder. It did not wash the streets clean. It only made the mud deeper. It made the hunger sharper. Thomas Ashworth stood under the eaves of the old textile mill. He held a silver cup in his hands. It was not a large cup. It was simple. It had no jewels. It had no engravings. But it was silver. Pure silver. In a town where men...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ParadoxThe rain fell on the stone. It was cold. It was wet. It did not care. Elias stood in the square. He held his sword. The steel was dull. It had seen much. It had cut many. Now it only cut air. The town slept. Or so it seemed. The windows were dark. The dogs were silent. Even the wind held its breath. He was the Warden. The last of the Order. He wore the grey cloak. It was torn at the hem. Mud...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe carriage wheels struck the cobblestones of Kingsbridge in a rhythm that matched the pounding in my chest. I sat in the corner, wrapped in a coat that smelled of old wool and iron filings. The driver did not look back. He knew better. I was not a passenger. I was a cargo. A specimen. My name is Elias. Or it was. Names are heavy things when you carry what I carry. I am a creature of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MeridianThe house stood on the ridge like a broken tooth. It was old. Older than the war. Older than the law. The stone was gray and cold. Moss ate the corners. The windows were blind. They looked out over the valley where the river turned the color of rust. Elias lived here. He had lived here for three years. He was not a man of the land. He was a man of the line. He drew lines. He measured things. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale LetterThe wind had a voice that night, a low, rasping moan that seemed to come from the earth itself, and it carried with it the scent of wet ash and distant smoke. Thomas stood at the edge of the clearing, his boots caked in the red clay of the valley floor, holding a small, folded piece of parchment that had been tucked into the lining of his coat. It was a letter, or at least it had been, before...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
