he began, “two humans fell in love. One was a blacksmith, the other a handmaiden. They snuck out beneath a cloak of stars, and made love under the light of the moon every night. They lived a simple life, in a small, rural village. It was said to be ruled by the monarchy, but in truth it was governed by the whims of merchants and soldiers. “Arcarius, the blacksmith, crafted fine weaponry. Merythia was handmaiden to a young princess – a young princess who had caught the eye of a foreign invader. Their village was sieged, and both the weapons and the princess were targeted. As the moon rose, both Arcarius and Merythia fell.” I frowned up at him. “That’s horrible.” “Don’t worry. It gets worse.”

Helena found the new village he settled as a blacksmith and through the smoke and noise made by the men and women working around him she once again melted at the sight of him. She stood outside the shop where the blacksmiths worked hard, unable to do anything but stare at the beauty of Demeus as he worked hard at shaping a tool, regardless of the people who watched her with curiosity. Then he looked up and saw her standing there and just like her in stared as though she was an apparition conjured from his dreams. He slowly stood up and approached her and they came together as though the longing they both felt was a magnetic force pulling them both together. Right then in the middle of the cr

“Sipho—” “Stay back,” Sipho hissed. His voice came out wrong. Too deep. Too layered. Like two throats speaking at once. The villagers watched. Not attacking. Not rushing. Just waiting. Waiting like midwives. Like witnesses to a birth. Or an execution. The black veins beneath Sipho’s skin began to glow faintly. Not dark anymore. Not shadow. Something worse. Something that swallowed light itself. The ground around his feet blackened. Grass shriveled.

Ash and Kael, both in pain, carried Eli between them. His boots dragged lines in the strange snow. It didn’t crunch; it just swallowed their steps, making everything quiet. The village, the well, the meeting hall, the blacksmith’s forge everything looked wrong, covered in pink. They passed the blacksmith’s shop. The fire was out. A hammer lay on the table like someone just left it there. The sight of that ordinary tool, waiting for a hand that would never return, was more chilling than any outright horror. It spoke of a life interrupted in a single breath.

Ribs pressing against his skin like a washboard. The blacksmith was a one-eyed old man with a vicious temper who forged blades that never broke. Every soldier in the camp came to him for repairs. Rex crouched outside the smithy for three days, watching the old man work the iron. The metal in the furnace bloomed orange-red. The old man pulled it free with tongs, laid it on the anvil, and struck. Sparks burst with every hammer blow. Burn scars covered his hands, layered over each other like the bark of an ancient tree.

she snapped. The blacksmith laughed again. The sound was deep, dark, and mysterious. "Methinks the lady doth not see how sweetly cruel beckons such beauty." "Spare me," she said tiredly. "Fair the dawn of yon lass's blush, rich and ripe and deeply lush." Her husband was not about to be outdone. Adrienne stamped a foot and glared at them both. Where was her Shakespeare when she needed it? "For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright/, who art as black as hell, as dark as night," she muttered.

he began. "So what do you suppose I do?" Ethan questioned, even if he found talking very difficult. "You know what I mean, Ethan" he spoke. Ethan said nothing and just looked at him and when he was about to speak, he got distracted by the blacksmiths that were walking out of the cottage. He turned back to look at the man and heaved a sigh. Then he placed his free hand on his right shoulder, tapping on it gently and mildly. Without saying a word, he walked back to where the villagers were gathered and watched as the blacksmiths checked out the metals.

Flames licked the crumbling cottages as Reyes, moving like a predator through the rubble-strewn lanes, strode through the ruined village, his sword gleaming with soot and blood with each violent turn, rising and falling with grim precision, cutting through defenders like wheat. The streets, once lined with flower carts and chatter, now bore the chaos of steel, blood, and flame. Around him, his men unleashed chaos, ruthless and unrelenting, their boots stomping through mud and ash. He grinned, not out of joy, but out of the thrill of conquest. The villagers had tried to resist — a pitiful last stand. Now they lay scattered, lifeless, as his soldiers tore through what remained. The village was

Authors pov Ryder spared his mother one final glace over his shoulder, before stepping out of the healers’ den. His mood was somber as he trudged through the dust toward the packhouse, his mind whirling with new information and plans. He reached his office and closed the door behind him, taking a seat at the desk in a room lit only by a single candle. He pulled out the paper that described where to start looking. *A blacksmith father, a weaver mother. Near the forest, on the outskirts of town.* It wasn’t much to work with, but it would be enough.

He turned and disappeared deeper into the words, leaving me wondering about his warning. I knew that Black village was a dangerous place or so I’ve heard but that was all. Since I’ve been coming to this place, I’ve not seen anything bad happen. Yes, almost all the things that happen here were illegal. The cage fighting was a bit barbaric. Some of the contestants took things too far and people seemed to enjoy that way more than the ones the fighters held back. The auction house sold stolen items. Before I came to the Black village, I’ve heard about killings but I’ve never seen anybody killed since I began to come here.
