Torches lined the walls along the hallway leading to the main chambers, their lights casting a long shadow across the walls, as if an ominous being itself was moving against the very structure itself. Devouring every written inscription dating back to the beginning of the first civilization that society had begotten to the world. As if their very presence indicates a lot more than mere writing on stones could. 

Parisa walked quietly through the forest, her mind flashing back to the village from earlier. It made no sense that a village would just disappear without affecting the other areas although it was the same with what happened to the Nordic settlement in Vinland thousands of years ago. But why? And how? Why would a group of people suddenly leave? It's not like they have run scarce the source of food that they lived off and decided to go someplace. And the fact that it wasn't just the physical bodies that were missing but the souls as well. It doesn't make any sense at all. "Who could've done this..." she mused, as she walked through the forest, her feet barely making any noise. Akram followed suit, cutting down any branches or bushes to make a clear path for her, that for some reason is entirely in her own world, not noticing anything at all. "Maybe someone with a grudge?" he supplied with a small grunt as he lifted the

"Stay back!" Aedre shouted as she brandished a knife towards the small childlike creature who was grinning oddly enough at her and imitating a small child. She knew enough that what was in front of her was no small child who just got lost in the forest, it brims of something far more different. It screams anger and jealousy but at what, she doesn't know. But what she cared for most was Tivona. Eversince the demise of her home, the younger had been taciturn to the point that she had shut herself off from the world. And since the younger was also knew to using the power she had inherited, her aura had been leaking through the barriers and had somehow attracted the creature to the smell of childish innocence.After taking a small bath and refreshing herself with the water from the river, she had decided to come back with a small catch to likely appease the younger and to hopefully get a response when upon stepping into the clearing, she had sensed somet

“What was the-thing out there?” Tivona shakily asked the Huntress as they walked through the forest, guided by a small orb of flame that the Huntress had conjured earlier.After the Huntress had released an arrow directed at the creature, Aedre took that as a sign to grab Tivona, against to the younger’s protests at the sudden movement and ran from the scene, without looking back, the Huntress following after them.Aedre and her exchanged a look, the other hesitant in telling the younger the truth while she was persistent as there was no use to hide the younger from the horrors of the world as she should get used to it earlier than later.The older-now the caretaker of the younger heaved out a sigh. “A puckwedgie.”“Puckwedgie?”

She took in a deep breath, her nostrils filled with the smell of the ocean, she closed her eyes and let herself be dragged into the world of blissfulness, her problems being washed away by the currents, her silvery hair flying around her, her body relaxing the wind's embraced."So, you've come." a voice spoke and she slowly opened her eyes. "Ah, so it seems that even in dreams you can't stop yourself from barging into other's personal lives." she spoke, her voice calm. "It is something that brings me quite the pleasure that none can understand."She turned her head to look over her shoulder at the stranger, her eyes slightly widening as she saw silvery hair with grey eyes. "...Wha-what are you doing here?" she asked, her voice shaking while silently cursing herself at the absurdity of having someone hear the fear in her voice. The man calmly smiled, a dangerous look in his eyes as he strode towards her, hands in his p
