Empire of Magic

The train pulled out of the station with a long, mournful whistle.

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

The stars that night seemed closer than they had any right to be.

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

The fire had burned down to embers, but neither of them moved to stoke it.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.

The map was old, its edges frayed, but the path it showed was unmistakable.

There were stories told of this place, and none of them ended well.

The end.
