The Titan Engine

Category: Sci-Fi

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

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

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.

She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.

She had learned long ago not to trust promises.

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

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

The end.
