I looked into the dark, ominous cave. Shadows curled and nothing could be seen past the cave’s mouth. Torches lit with large, bright flames hung on either side of the entrance. The lights were bright but nothing could break through that perpetual darkness. I gulped, and turned toward my father.

His expression was stone cold and no emotions shone through his eyes. He glared down at me, angry th...

They think they can stop me? Are they stupid or just very naive? I worked far to long and to hard for this day and they are not gonna ruin it for me! I planned it all out: the banquet, the meals, the poison, and the target. I will do whatever it takes to kill that horrible wench who stole my future! She stole it all from me!

Only one year since she was stolen from me, and left me alone. Why? Why did she have to die alone? I was about to propose and we were so happy. I was happy. That day plagues me still. The moment I realized she wasn’t co...

The world was as dark as the endless inky sky, filled with ash leadened smoke. No light broke through the darkness, as I fumbled and tripped through the city.
