Wind Chimes

Percival of Gadeling

I.


When wonder sparked beneath the eyes of man

And shone on stones and grass and seas,

When breath was fresh and beating heart began,

Their gaze alighted on the trees.


More precious did they consider the trees

Than all else their bright eyes did see.

More love had they for fruit, and leaves, and seeds

Than for the stones and grass and seas.


The daughter of man came to her husband

And pleaded, ...

Gadeling’s Light

Percival of Gadeling

1 min read

Like misty night, like groggy sight

The Prophet’s light, the Prophet’s light.

On battlegrounds, where trumpets sound

The Prophet’s found, the Prophet’s found.


Afraid, alone, ‘fore hardened stone

The Prophet’s throne, the Prophet’s throne .

In dusty halls, when curtain falls,

The Prophet calls, the Prophet calls.


With silver blade, like curséd shade,

The Prophet slayed, the Prophet slayed.

Adorn...

Devil’s Sooty Brother (A Grimm’s Tale)

Once upon a time, there lived an old German soldier

He was taught to kill, steal, and murder

Don’t be afraid

It’s not what you think

Than the Nazis, Gustave was much older.


He had a soul, despite his war crimes

He had a mind, though broken in time

He suffered from mania

Bipolar, schizophrenia

And saw hallucinations sublime


Then one fateful night, while stalking the woods

(Gus’s favorite p...

With’ring Leaf

Percival of Gadeling

1 min read

With’ring leaf, drifts amidst the florid

Autumn trees. Preparing for the night

Winter comes to collect, gilded trees

Flame their fire, one last breath, final light.


Hair removed, shaved and bare, autumn life

Moves along the stilted trembling song.

Famined twigs move now not lest in strife

They disturb their cold rot. Tis not wrong.


How be it? Wrong, yet not? Not for trees

That shed flesh, adorn...

Gallin

Percival of Gadeling

3 min read

I, Gallin, wood mouse Arcanist, master of magics and wielder of truth, sent breath through my limbs. My fingers shone and hummed as I moved them through my stance. I felt the familiar quickening energy revive my increasingly tired body as I took in a full breath. Ribbons of light danced around me as I finished my cantrip. They flew along the knicker and bloody swords of my kinsmen, along their cre...

Arnheim’s Journal

Percival of Gadeling

3 min read

17 / 2 / 1279


I barely live. My extremities tremble as I pen this my journal. All but Sheayn are gone, lost to the sea or… what ever it was that happened upon my ship but three nights ago. I feel the effects, my lungs are hoarse and distended as a leather tunic stretched. My voice quavers when I speak. Utterances of words die out before reaching the ears of my sole companion.


I feel my connecti...
