Blood of the Wolf: The Glowing Trail
Prose Fiction Inspired by the Norsing Home Valheim Server
Deep in the dark
where no light dare dwell
a tower stands
nearly crumbled to sand.
A fire bravely burns
bright against the night
to ward off those who would seek
to devour the light.
Seek the glowing trail at peak of night
when the children of the tree
shamble in the shadows,
and the light of the thistle
can be seen as starkly
as the height of day.

This is a continuation of poetry & clues created for a treasure hunting quest series I designed on the Norsing Home Valheim Server ran by EasyBoarder on Youtube & Twitch! It's been so fun to surprise everyone; watching them hunt down these clues & areas of interest live on stream has been an absolute joy. (:
If you want to see the moment when they find these treasure spots, you can check out these two streams ( when Easy talks to "Izzora", that is me! ):

Seed of Glass
I knew you were different from the moment my eyes of flame met your eyes of glass. They reminded me of the chimes at the market. The way their multicolored surfaces caught and refracted the light would bring such joy to even my most mundane of days.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

I adore how this is signed storyweaver! I don't have a clue about the server but this is excellently written and the description is very immersive!
I absolutely love how magical and inviting this art is, from iron gate studios. 'Dare dwell' I love how these two words, when placed together. Brings the highs and lows. So the 'dare' is high in tone, then the 'dwell' is falling down. It's so darn satisfying to read it again. The three b's is also lovely. Man! Was this good. I love how you so effortlessly, invoke the same vibe as the art. Through your words. I may not be exaggerating when I say. I prefer your words over the art. Maybe your words made the art better. It's so incredibly cool that you are involved in the design of a treasure hunting quest, series. Well done to you, Amanda. 🤗❤️
To build on what Kenny said, you really should consider taking these poems and compiling them into an epic. I bet you’d be able to make an awesome one!
It’s poems and stories like this that make me wish we had a double like button! LOL this was so good! It belongs in an epic tale ❤️
The title and artwork got me excited. I thought you were embarking on a new novel. Bummer. Cool poem.
