I didn’t think I deserved to live at all. If Ohiska had not found me, I’d be dead. I’d spent my last few bursts of fire trying to extinguish anything that came close to trying to help me. I don’t remember how long I was in Booty Bay for. I lay in a cot, depleted […]

A page is torn from the book, the ink still fresh from a few hours prior: Dzivah has been writing in her sleep, remarkably legibly, and is anxious upon waking to find these words. She tucks the page into a binding on her staff with the purpose of burning it later. Why? Why do you […]

Zul’ai’kah left yesterday, to begin her training in druidism. What was left of our father’s hut was crushed in the quake, and with it, her reasons for staying put. She’d never ventured off far, from what she’d told me. After I left, she feared loss greatly and couldn’t bare to leave him alone. It was […]

I bid you farewell.

Jatkai left this morning. I thanked him profusely for having saved my life, and he reciprocated his thanks for my having nursed his concussion after the quake. After a few awkward pauses, I told him that perhaps he’d be better off not being in the path of whatever whirlwind it is that seems bent on […]

Shattered.

I can’t even begin to describe the horrors. Our world has been shattered, and so too, has my chance of a new life.

Recovery.

Another day. Another test. Witchdoctor Zahb’bia pokes and prods me to see if my ribs have healed. I have come to remember his name, even though I vehemently hope that I will never be in the man’s care ever again. We will be leaving soon. I’m terrified. But I have come this far and almost died […]
Strange aches & stranger places.

I know this place. I’ve run across these tiles countless times before. The last time I stood here, I stopped to stare at the stones, and I cried. I was leaving the first and only place I’d ever called ‘home’. Now I am standing here again. Why am I here? Why am I being forced […]

Where am I?
July 5th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis
I dreamed of a dusk that was more beautiful than anything I had ever seen. The light was blinding, but instead of burning and irritating my eyes, it warmed me to my very depths. I dreamed of the twilight of eternity. The very precipice one must dwell on before finally coming to an end. As […]

Regrets.

I wish we hadn’t fought. I wish I hadn’t said the things I said to him. I wish I hadn’t treated him with such callousness and contempt. I wish I’d listened to him. I wish I’d given us a chance. If I don’t live, I hope that he knows that I tried my hardest. In […]

Death’s travelogue.
June 8th, 2010 · No Comments · Finding genesis
I’m not sure that I will live. I’ve no clear sign that I will survive my injuries. I’ve faced death before, but I’ve never been this afraid. I’m alone, heading home to people who might never welcome me again, and possibly dying in the arms of a stranger before I even arrive. Who would mourn […]
