Category: Fantasy

A knock at the door changed everything.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

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

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

The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold.

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

A cold wind swept across the plain, carrying with it the scent of distant rain.

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

The end.
