A Date With Destiny
It all started back in September of 2020. As I'm sure some of you know that year wasn't the best for everyone. It certainly was easy for me and I was praying things would get better. I'd like to think I wasn't the only person wanting something to help deal with life.

A Light through Shadows
Two days had passed before I was able to walk comfortably. Well, more like allowed too since Danny would not leave my side until I was better, I couldn't do anything on my own. I had awoken in the early morning; a crows call jerking me awake. I rolled over to see my messy haired friend slouched over in the one large chair fast asleep. He looked so calm and at peace, so I decided not to wake him. Grabbing my belongings, I made my way out of the inn and into the early morning streets.

I Never Listen Anyway
A prince must always put his kingdom first. At least that’s what my father would tell me. I was never one to listen. My older brother on the other hand, is the heir every King wishes to have. Strong willed, intelligent, handsome, and loved by all; He could do no wrong. Then there’s the bastard son, the half prince that avoids his duties and chooses to associate with the poor over his own family; I’ll never change.

Light through Shadows
Through Yggdrasil we bring life, through Yggdrasil we bring death, through Yggdrasil we are reborn. A throbbing pain overcame my body causing my breath to hitch as I finally awoke. With blurred vision I tried to get a good look around at my surroundings. Crowns Inn? I think to myself seeing the familiar dim lamps placed in every room. The scent of ale and fresh baked bread filled my senses confirming my whereabouts. Taking in a deep breath I cause the sharp pain to return to my side wincing and gritting my teeth in reaction.

Garden of Secrets
“Do you have the flowers ready?” I had been lost in thought staring at the woven basket full of vibrant yellow orange marigolds. The flower of the dead. My sister and I were going to our parents' gravesite to offer these flowers in honoring their passing. I trailed a finger gently over the soft petals remembering how much my mother loved them.

Light through Shadows
We knew it was coming. We knew it was inevitable. And yet... None of us knew what would happen after. Would we live on and find paradise? Rise from the ashes like a Phoenix, continuing with our daily lives like nothing happened? Or would everything just... stop? No life, no light or darkness. Nothingness.
