Throwing one leg over, Sir Cedric Gain descended from his horse with practiced ease. In the sun’s early morning rays, he cut an impressive figure. His armor was a masterpiece of craftsmanship, intricately engraved with patterns of vines and heraldic symbols. In one of his gauntleted hands he held a great helm. Scabbarded at his side was a longsword, ready to be drawn at a moment’s noti...

I blink wildly as the dark textured fabric pins my lashes to my face, and behind my back my knuckles whiten in protest. I tug at my arms but the fabric will not slack against the bones of my wrists. The air around me is damp as I breath it in, coating the back of my throat in a harsh wet kiss --sour and salty, the rot and decay pour into me like ocean water dripping down my throat and no mater how...

Fate Calls

Crown Of Seventy Thorns

I am Death,

I am feared

By all that know of me,

But by what I can see,

Life,

To put it simply,

Is fleeting.

My job is to

End lives

When fate calls

And says

They are supposed to

End,

But it has come to my

Attention,

Lives seem to be

Nearing their ends

Far earlier than

Usual.

Life was never

Something I understood,

I mean,

I was Death!

Yet something still

Felt off…

Lives were ending

Way too fa...

Mother’s Tune

Deanna Sage

If only the tunes of old could bring back with them the souls that were once reciting the notes. If only the memories could be held, gripped as tight as my mother’s arms used to hold me as her lips painted each melody through the icy night air. Bring forth that nostalgic backing track of crackling firewood that fit so well beneath her vocals, and the soothing sedate pluck of the lute, guiding my c...

The birds circled overhead as Emil sat on the floor the grass still somewhat wet beneath him from the cold nights before it was still cold of course but it was brighter, and louder, it feels more alive but chances are none of that really needs to be said. He leans against the tree stood behind him, It’s not _that_ bad really, or better put _it could probably be worse. _

But it isn’t, it is what...

How we wound the Sol

With teeth, blades, and tongues of gold

It weeps sultry fire as it crawls,

To a tranquil realm God crafted olde

I beseech the Sol to stay

But it’s wails crescendo to a shrill,

Enow! It bellows, fire cascading upon the vale

Forsooth, humanity are unworthy with poor will

Nay! I cry,

We are flawed, true! We love you!

The Sol disregards me and descends without comply

diary of someone with two fates

Rheese’s Puffs

Dear diary,

My “parents” force me to work several jobs, then take my earnings for their own spending, because they themselves don’t want to work. They don’t even buy food or clothes with my money — the woman spends it on alcohol, while that man gambles it away. Yet they have the audacity to wonder why we’re poor.

I’ve been able to save up some money behind their back, and I almost have enough t...

I often felt guilty after singing. The feeling took me, and I’d sway with the rolling tides, ebbing to tunes played with the sounds of the sea and sky.

Out in the horizon, I’d see them, though. A poor crew of men—hopefully just men anyways. I mean, I felt bad enough when they were just men, and it’s not like I wanted the ships to wreck.

Some might have said I had a problem. That I heard sounds t...
