The Eternal Flame

Category: Fantasy

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

He had been waiting for her for what felt like an eternity.

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

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

A knock at the door changed everything.

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 learned long ago not to trust promises.

The end.
