Premium Member Revenge
Never wish death upon your enemy, wish that they beg for death. Drink from silver cups of silence, haunted by ghosts of breath. Let their triumphs rot in shadow, gold turn to sand. Every crown one of thorns. every touch a reprimand. Let mirrors show them what they buried, let time refuse to heal, not with fire, but with memory, may they learn what it means...

Premium Member The Axe Grinder
He hones his purpose on a stone whet of spite, Edge kissed to gleam in the dead of night. Relentless is the echo tuned to hindsight. Endless in the knowing his cause is right. His grip is firm, his whetstone flat. His purpose honed to revenge in tit-for-tat. The axe grinder, can't ever get over that. Old grudges are ground in, with...

The Blood of Forgotten Oaths
Steel-bound words once carved in stone, Now rust in whispers, dead and alone. The oaths we swore in fire and ash, Lie shattered now—mere ghosts of past. A blade was drawn, a wound was made, Yet scars still whisper, cold and frayed. Beneath the weight of silent screams, The echoes writhe, the soul redeems. Ink turns black beneath the...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part VI
...Have you ever seen true madness take full possession of a man? Gobayth’s dreams of coming home were now all well and truly damned.

The first target was a merchant travelling with his concubine and his two slaves...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part V
...A jolt ran though the broken men, like wraiths they rose, streamed for the door, Gobayth waved them on until nobody remained anymore. They raced on towards the small hut where all of the pick-aces lay, some guards were starting to notice, running about every which way. Gobayth wished the poor men luck, but he did not follow their path, and instead ran to the...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part III
...Gobayth’s mind was nearly crushed, this was his life now, it appeared, and all sorts of depressing thoughts flooded his mind that first half-year. Was this what life was really like for most of the souls in this world? An endless, unpaid drudgery, with slashing whips always unfurled? Was this how ‘settled’ people lived? Is so, then why bother with life? How could those outside...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part I
I’ve seen many look to the sky and to the gods earnestly plead, what sins have the committed that require so many to bleed? Why does Lord Diyal ride the lands, do things that make your stomach churn, his soldiers loot and pillage all… Why do they make your cities burn? I can tell you that it begins with a young man named Gobayth, a...
