Realm of Shadows

Category: Fantasy

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

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

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

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

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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

The end.
