Wicked Tongues - Part I.. Top Story - November 2023.
“sub luna lacrymis colligimus adorare” She said, finger carving out a spiral sigil in the crisp air. The obsidian pupil in the door slid shut, as a series of locking mechanisms retracted in turn, as the ironwork rose vines, complete with razor thorns slithered away, revealing the words beati magicae intrare. The cyclopean pig iron door grunted with exertion as it ponderously began to open.

Land of the Blighted: Part One
Mary’s visions had begun small and scattered. A flash of a clawed hand tracking grooves in a rock. Dark waves breaking on a cliff. A pair of milky black eyes floating alone in a void, just staring on. They were simple, easily lost in the tangle of her dreams. But then they had begun to invade her waking moments. The first time she had been possessed by one of these visions, she had been riding by horse back to Jacksonville, her eyes lost to a sight of horror that had her gripping the reins and spooking the horse.

Thorns and Beating Hearts. Top Story - October 2023.
Once upon a time, in the city of Thorn, there was a young man named Karsen who lived in a tower. He was not imprisoned in the spire of stone, though within it he often felt trapped. He was a Crown Prince, of a mountainous and forest filled kingdom called Alnorac. There was no looming threat of war, no curse from a warty old wizard, and yet the prince felt like there was something he was missing. He would stare into the shadowy mirror hung on the wall while pondering this, and sometimes it seemed like it stared back. And then, he found that missing thing at the festival.

ANCIENT OAK IV
"Ex tenebris veni, in tenebris dominabo," the Prince of Darkness chanted as he arrived. The malevolent incantation reverberated through the desolation of Mount Doom, and the skies themselves seemed to recoil from the dark power that had been summoned. The very mountain quivered as the ground shattered beneath the feet of the sinister forces. The air grew heavy with foreboding, and the once-charred slopes of Mount Doom seemed to come alive, as if haunted by the nightmares of its past.
