The Distant LegendThe storm did not break; it simply ceased to exist, leaving the world stripped of sound and light. Silas Vane stood in the center of the courtyard, his boots caked in the red clay of the lowlands, his uniform torn at the shoulder where the wind had peeled away the fabric like dead skin. He was a man of fifty winters, though he looked older, carved from the same rough granite as the fortress...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasThe hall smelled of roasted pig and stale beer. It was a thick, cloying scent that clung to the wool of your coat, a physical weight you could feel pressing against your skin as you moved through the crowd. Men in heavy industrial overalls stood in clusters, their faces flushed red, their voices rising in a chorus of laughter and complaint. This was the midwinter feast of the Ironclad Union,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe air in the Vault was stale, tasting of iron and old paper, a metallic tang that coated the back of Thomas’s throat. He sat on the cold stone floor, his hands folded in his lap, watching the dust motes dance in the single beam of light that pierced the gloom from a grate above. Across from him, Elara stood. She did not blink. Her posture was rigid, a statue carved from shadow and intent, her...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe iron gate groaned against the rusted hinges, a sound like a bone snapping in a dry field, and I stood at the threshold of the Greyhall Prison with the taste of copper and old dust on my tongue. The air here was thick, heavy with the scent of wet stone and unwashed bodies, a palpable weight that pressed against my chest and made it difficult to draw a full breath. I adjusted the grip on my...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CipherThe ink bled into the parchment like a wound that refused to clot, spreading in dark, capillary veins across the vellum until the words I had carved into my own flesh became indistinguishable from the stain. I was kneeling on the cold flagstones of the chapel floor, my knees grinding against the rough stone, while the air around me grew thick with the scent of ozone and rotting lilies. This was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe fire took the roof of the granary first, then the walls, turning the winter night into a furnace of orange light. You stood at the edge of the pasture, your boots sinking into the frozen mud, watching the timber collapse with a sound like breaking bones. There was no time to save the harvest, no time to save the tools, and certainly no time to save the life you had built in this isolated...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden SongThe rain tasted of iron and wet wool. Elias stood on the porch, watching the grey road where the van had been. It was gone now. Just the mud. Just the cold. He held the jar tight against his chest. It was warm. Inside, the amber liquid swirled like trapped smoke. He was not a man. Or rather, he was not the kind of man the town expected. He was a fixture. A wall. A shadow in the corner of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaThe hall smelled of roasted goose and wet wool, a heavy, cloying scent that clung to the tapestries and the breath of the courtiers. Sir Cedric stood by the hearth, his hands clasped behind his back, watching the embers pulse with a dying light. He was a man of few words, a weaver of fine linen for the Duke’s household, and tonight the weight of the year pressed upon him not in pounds, but in...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BridgeThe water was black. Not dark. Black. Like oil. Like tar. Like the inside of a closed eye. It sat still in the cellar. It did not ripple. It did not breathe. I stood on the stone step. My boots were wet. The cold bit my ankles. I looked down. I saw myself. Not my face. Not my body. My self. The thing that thought. The thing that remembered. It stared back. It knew me. I knew it. My name is...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
