4199629312Acheron IEverything is a question of survival. How do I live? How do I satiate my hunger, my thirst? How do I protect myself from predators? How do I shelter from the storm? For a long, long time, our people asked only this. We fought to separate life from deat…
4199629315Acheron IIIn my past life, I was a gardener. Not that Gardener. Don't be cheeky. No, I grew flowers. I tilled soil. I planted seeds and bulbs and rootstock. I gave them water and nutrients. I dug out the weeds and shooed off the pests. In all my centuries, my g…
4199629314Styx IAll we have ever wanted was to protect others. We understand if you do not believe that. We did not meet on the best of terms, did we? We understand your fear, your wounds. But perhaps you may yet come to understand us. To know our minds, and to accept t…

4240927290SHE FALLSYou're small. You're so small. I should have protected you. I hold you in my hands, these last pieces of you, but you're gone. There's no love, no Light, left for me to hold. Only these last pieces. My Ghost. My heart. You are my heart. You were my heart…
