The God Child
“Somnia abyssi invocamus ut nobis ostendat veritatem. We call upon the dreams of the deep to show us the truth.” The shrill chant filled the night air. Aurelia raised her hands high, towards the stars above. The bonfire before her bathed her in its light, her hair spilled over her shoulders like a river of liquid gold.

A Dream of Dragons
The forest shook as he drug his scaly body between the trees. Needles fell with each heavy step. In the twilight he looked as a great shadow, his once magnificent scales rent by battle and stained gray by ash. The blue wisp lights darted away from him as he moved, their soothing glow bringing some peace to his aching body. The red light of flame shone through the trees, the remains of the battle. Battle was all he knew of late. He, Faerdir, lord of dragons had been reduced to an instrument of war. He tipped his head back to look up at the starry sky, his antler-like horns raking tree branches aside. The sky was beautiful, untainted, much as his home had been. The home that he and his kind had carved from the very earth. Carved in the likeness of the dream. He turned his gaze mournfully to the ground below his bloodstained claws. I am diminished. He thought to himself. Hot tears threatened to burst from his eyes but he resisted them. Now is not the time for weeping. His claws dug into the earth, soil swelling beneath his great paws. With a growl he launched himself forward and shaken from his stupor, set on his way once more.
