Forgotten Embers Death’s Arrow
It was a week ago that he had stood over the body of a dead prince as Zahaynei removed the arrow from his chest."Here," the Captain of the King's armies had said as he handed him the bloodied arrow, "for your troubles."He had even been congratulated by the King himself and received honors. Still, somethin
Forgotten Embers Peace When There Is None
Eliezer knelt beside the bed in his room with his head down and his face buried in the blankets. His elbows rested comfortably on the mattress and his hands pressed together with interlocked fingers. It was late and long past the time he would have normally slept, but his mind was set on other things. The room was dark with the exception of the soft and gentle moonlight which flooded through the window, the curtains of which he had pulled back to welcome the newness of the quiet air at even."Will you not sleep?" a gentle voice asked from behind him. He smiled, raising his head without opening his eyes. "You, my dear, are awake, are you not? So, tell me, why not I?""You, Mr. Webber, do not take proper care of yourself," she quietly scolded him. "You have tried and labored these past days. You should rest now, while you're able.""Ah, and you, Miss Garner? Will you rest, also?" he asked, discreetly glancing over at her, unmoving. She stood in the doorway, her arms crossed, on her f
Forgotten Embers Peacetime Proclamation
His words seemed of little help to his friend, and Eliezer struggled to think what could be done for the man from Delphi to comfort him.'Jordan... please, cheer up. All is not lost.'There was a knock at the door. He looked to the door and then again at Jordan.
Forgotten Embers The Message
He had gone to see Adrien primarily, but Avera had caught his ear when he came. She was asking questions about the stories Adrien told and why things happened as they did. Some claimed such things were unknowable, but he knew. He knew as surely as he knew life.So, Benjamin smiled at her when she asked and said, "Because the world is broken, we see suffering and pain. The heartbreak that we feel is the brokenness of Caldor. The breath that we have is the spirit of our King. Himmel isn't something so fantastic as you think. It is alive within us now, and it reigns above us, drawing us ev
Forgotten Embers Escape
Fire, ash, smoke, death... the city was in flames, as were its people. Screams pierced the night with the red tones of danger and death which pervaded the seemingly endless darkness. Men and women fled from their homes and scattered families ran panicked through the streets seeking for sanctuary, but there was none to be found from the children of darkness and their monstrous fiends as they assailed what remained of the city in violence. Blackness gripped the night, the moon red like the blood of the streets, and a single word was spoken her: "Escape."
Forgotten Embers We’re Leaving
He awakened to a loud knocking at the door, and he jumped up from the bed, frantically grabbing his sword, and throwing open the door of the room. He dashed determinedly out into the hall, running with the blade, and slipping into the den with due caution, his heart racing and adrenaline pumping."Well, Blackridge," Kypher said, standing by the door with his sword at his side, "I see you've still got it. You made good time in coming. If we were under attack, I'm sure I would be quite relieved to have you here. But, as it is, it's only Ben. Though, it is good you're up." He turned to fac
Forgotten Embers The Burning of Elkshire
'I've never seen so much blood...'There was a scream, then another, and his ears grew tired of the droning of the locusts' wings as they flew, hopping about and latching on to their victims. The scene was dark, the torment of the people on the blood covered streets only visible by the red light of the blood moon and the orangey glow of the crackling fires all around him.
Forgotten Embers Home
They had dismounted, resting their horses for a time as they sat upon the flat faced rocks of the stoney hill crest watching over the darkened trees of the forest below them.Eliezer sat a short distance away from the rest of them, looking out into the night as he watched the black monsters which circled the skies above Elkshire. He could see the fiery light which flared against the darkness as the city burned, and he looked on sorrowfully as he watched it, his eyes hurting for the solemn scene of flame and death.
