The Eternal Flame

Category: Fantasy

The letter was still on the table, unopened, as it had been for three days.

He stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the waves crashing below.

It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

He was the kind of man who kept his word, even when it cost him.

The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.

The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.

She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.

The end.
