Ashes of the Forgotten Pact – Part 1
The stench of old smoke still clung to the stones of Saint Aurellian’s Abbey, three days after the fire. It drifted on the breeze like a whispered warning, curling through the shattered archways and scorched pews. What remained of the great altar stood blackened and cracked, its once-glorious marble now spiderwebbed with ash-gray fractures. Wax from a hundred candles had melted into grotesque shapes, like tears frozen mid-fall. A relic of divine sanctuary—defiled.

After the stars fell
Write a story after the happily ever after I often wondered what love is. Is it truly the warm, fuzzy emotions that ooze out of true mirth of care and adore, or is it a product of prevalent capitalism that exists within our world? That makes it easy for the consumeristic and hyperagile construct to sell products to the humans as a marketing tactic, to slip in through the psyche of innocent minds, to create a buzz, to find their weaklings and exploit them for company profits and expansions. I still find myself wondering what love is, pondering over that thought.

Prelude I | Starbuilders
Continuing to shiver in spite of the thick pelts and waterproof skins he was wearing, Nothaar Akii considered what he could do to rectify the situation. Although the necessary protective attire had been specially harvested from creatures native to the area and treated in a way to help keep the extreme cold at bay, Nothaar was still finding it difficult to understand how the beasts could survive outside in such conditions. Deciding to put aside his own discomfort, Nothaar instead turned his head to the right and asked in the language that his host spoke, "This is it? This is as far as we can go?"

Veil of the Firstborn Part 4
Snow drifted in lazy spirals through the dead forest as Vaelin and Elira followed the worn path that twisted toward the high ridge of Wyrmcliff. The trees here were ancient, blackened as though scorched by some long-dead fire, and none bore leaves. Even in the deep silence of the wild, something in the air felt taut—like an arrow nocked but not loosed.

Vanguard: Rise of the Forgotten
The streets of Veridia sparkled, a thin layer of normalcy painted over a city still wounded from the Architect's attack. New structures gleamed, parks flowered with genetically-engineered plant life, and the hum of hovercars sang through the skies. But beneath the surface of rebuilding, a nervous tension remained, a glitch in the system that refused to be debugged.

Veil of the Firstborn Part 3
The morning sun broke weakly through the dense mist coiling around the valley, painting everything in a pallid gold. Vaelin tightened the leather bracer on his forearm, eyes fixed on the path ahead where the abandoned temple loomed—half-swallowed by vines and crumbling stone. The relic they sought, the Shard of the Firstborn, was said to be hidden within. Rumor claimed it could sever or forge any bond, mortal or magical.
