Monsters Beget Nightmares
A reign of blood
Queen Genevieve was known as a humanitarian, her husband a murderer, and her first-born son a cruel tyrant. The grandchildren were feared, and their cousins' betrayers.
The children's children are as good as their upbringing, so unsurprisingly they fought each other till death for power.
Clubs, swords, guns, poison, bombs… no matter the weapon of choice, war is waged from the greedy little hearts inside rotting blackened vessels.
For the decendants to be the nightmares of humankind, Queen Genevieve must have been entirely horrifying.
Blood runs thick over the countryside as blood runs through this family's veins.

The One Who Stayed in the Dream
1 It started with the dream. Every night, I saw him. It was always the same. A boy with dark hair and calm eyes, sitting across from me at a café that doesn’t exist. The walls were pale yellow, the windows fogged from the rain outside, and there was always jazz playing softly in the background.
