“Koruan?” Fenris stared as crystalline tears tracked down the other boy’s face. “Are you alright?” he tried to keep his voice soft, void of the panic that was swelling within him. “What’s wrong?”


Koruan absently drug a hand across his face, never tearing his eyes from the sky. He spoke as if half-asleep already, a trance-like lull. “I’ve never seen the night sky before.”


Fenris watched, in sli...

Ink Spilled

Fire tumbled across the land, as if a wave. One of destruction and loss, one of heat and chaos.


Everything it’s wispy hands touch dissolve, they’re gone now. Trees and animals, houses and people, water and air, it all goes as the fire rolls.


Ashes are left, grey snow, grey flakes, some are black, some seem beautiful but they’re all evidence of what once was there. The sky fills with ash, filli...

Leaving

Leaving winter for spring. Leaving spring for summer. Summer for autumn. Autumn for winter, and all over again.


Leaving preschool for primary, primary for middle, and middle for high. From high school to college and then you leave those years behind and find a your place in the adult world.


Full of jobs and revolving around money. Eventually you leave the stress, you leave it for happiness for...

Lulled To Silence

Without a single sound

The silence sings sweetly

Never, though, has it been found

With nothing to follow,

Every step so loud

It stayed hidden,

Or ever be heard,

For silence can’t be,

It can say no word

Silence cannot be found alive

Silence comes only to the dead

Quiet is peaceful, and silence is violent

Listen to nature, and listen to your head,

Perched on the Edge

At the top of the hierarchy, highest in the pecking order, in the most extravagant of rooms, in a dress which was made from the expenses and fineries of the world, sat a lady. Hardly sixteen with no childhood to look back on.


Born and bred not for life but for the pleasure of those around her. To be looked at as if she was a painting, to be played with for pleasure at the expensive her own peac...

Still Alive

Yesterday and today bends and blurs

Days fade into another

In a state of in between my brain whirs

Cold and hot converse

Bored amid entertainment, tired and restless

I daze and wake

To her, who has carried me, I have unprofessed love

Still alive, due to her

And for her, I would do anything

The thought of saying

Hello, for the last time hurts, when being

In a state such as I

And for her, I...

Hospitals, Apparently Not My Place

Bad fucking idea putting me here. A fucking hospital, of all damn places to be so wildly misplaced. Real medicine and medical practice is not my jam, not at all. Never more than now have I doubted my dad’s advice.


‘The age of magic is dead my son, there’s no use presuming it.’ Way too late am I calling bull though. ‘You’re great at potions, especially those healing ones—you could become a real d...
