"Wandering Hearts: The Tale of a Stray"
The Stray Lamb Under the warm glow of the setting sun, a small lamb named Leo stood alone on a winding dirt path, his soft white wool stained with dust. The gentle bleating of his flock was far behind him, muffled by the rolling hills and dense trees that now surrounded him. Panic flickered in his wide, curious eyes as he realized he had wandered too far.

Her County: Part 3
PART 1 PART 2 The stream trickled over a craggy bed, darkened by trailing wisps of silt, flicking their spindly tails like long, muddy leeches. For most of the trek, I had to skip between either bank of this stream, as the descent gradually became steeper and steeper, with the overgrowth swallowing much of the path. I placed my feet in such a way as to dig my heel into the waterlogged earth to keep my balance. Perhaps it was a good thing, after all, that scribes aren’t given sandals like the elder monks.

Veil of the Firstborn Part 4
Snow drifted in lazy spirals through the dead forest as Vaelin and Elira followed the worn path that twisted toward the high ridge of Wyrmcliff. The trees here were ancient, blackened as though scorched by some long-dead fire, and none bore leaves. Even in the deep silence of the wild, something in the air felt taut—like an arrow nocked but not loosed.

"The Lady Who Disappeared"
A Lost Lady The old mansion at the edge of town had always intrigued Claire. Once a grand estate, its windows were now broken, the garden overgrown, and its stone walls covered in ivy. The townspeople whispered stories of a woman who once lived there—a lady of grace and elegance, who vanished without a trace. They called her “the lost lady,” and Claire, new to the town, couldn’t resist the mystery.

The Wind Knows My Name
The road curved like a ribbon unraveling through the hills, trees blurring into emerald brushstrokes as the truck sped forward. She leaned out the window, her hair whipping violently behind her, eyes half-closed, lips slightly parted. It was freedom — or something close to it. And it had taken her too long to arrive here.

Vanguard: Rise of the Forgotten
The streets of Veridia sparkled, a thin layer of normalcy painted over a city still wounded from the Architect's attack. New structures gleamed, parks flowered with genetically-engineered plant life, and the hum of hovercars sang through the skies. But beneath the surface of rebuilding, a nervous tension remained, a glitch in the system that refused to be debugged.

Veil of the Firstborn Part 3
The morning sun broke weakly through the dense mist coiling around the valley, painting everything in a pallid gold. Vaelin tightened the leather bracer on his forearm, eyes fixed on the path ahead where the abandoned temple loomed—half-swallowed by vines and crumbling stone. The relic they sought, the Shard of the Firstborn, was said to be hidden within. Rumor claimed it could sever or forge any bond, mortal or magical.
