And also, it was a very challenging time, when you were in the mode of “Doing everything yourself. ”Such were those seemingly unending days that littered my mind with countless memories and tails.

The Mercenary's Miscalculation
Aethel nursed a lukewarm mug of unidentified, vaguely green liquid in his cramped quarters aboard the sputtering freighter. Rain lashed against the hull, drumming a monotonous rhythm.

Nostalgia Is Not That Deep!
As time passed, memories started to gather like fireflies in a jar, each one a tiny beacon of joy from days gone by.

Starlight Manor
Never in Lise’s life has she seen a house like this. Every inch of it, from the arched doorway all the way down the front hall, is intricately drenched in an aura of uncompromising wealth, a wealth of the likes she’s never seen. The floors, vast and cold and unyielding, are a polished white marble, and the loud, slapping sound of Lise’s bare feet echo against it throughout the hallway.

White, thick candles glow warmly in golden sconces all the way down the tall black walls, the warm glow of them reflecting faintly off the marble floor. Alois is quiet and serene beside her, the candlelight flickering off his sharp, pale face, failing to warm the coldness of his eyes.

Something Darker; Chapter 17
I allow my eyes to slowly open after the door creaks shut. That was the third time someone's come to check on me and the third time I pretended to still be sleeping. It's not that I wasn't ready to face them- it's their questions I'm not ready to face.
