Apology

“Hereby We issue an official apology to all the citizens of the Empire.We apologize if our actions, words, or reactions have caused any inconvenience to the livelihood of Our citizens.I know rumours of what we’ve said, or done are spreading cross the lands of the Empire, and there is discontent due to it, thus IContinue reading “Apology”

To Wander

I write these lines, as a message to my descendants, whom I most likely won’t ever meet, while wandering.Raging seas, where the waves crashed upon each other, with the force of a million explosives.Forests of untainted stretches of land, where there are creatures that, humans could never imagine.Deserts of flowing sand, where one needs toContinue reading “To Wander”

The Estate’s meaning

“So this is it?”I thought, as I stopped in front of the humongous gates.Behind them, a wonderful forest spread out, and somewhere deep in this sea of trees, was the mansion that has been left behind, by my so called “father”.I rang the bell, and waited.Soon, an elderly security guard came, and opened the gates.“YouContinue reading “The Estate’s meaning”

“Always our Queen”

The Elven Empire is stretched across the entire continent, elves being the rulers of it.Since its size is almost immeasurable, for a proper administration and governing of the land, the elves decided to assign regions to certain tribes to rule over.Each tribe is ruled by a Queen, while the Empire is ruled by the Empress,Continue reading ““Always our Queen””

A simple pair of shoes

I’ve had a rough ride in my early days.Being in a kingdom shred to pieces by on-going wars, it was rather challenging for a teenager to survive.My parents were medics, being constantly on duty, so I was more or less left alone.The money they’ve left was gone rather quickly, because nobody thought the war won’tContinue reading “A simple pair of shoes”

Fate

Fate is such a wonderful mechanism.It works in ways most mortals can’t even begin to understand, while those who do understand, will start no to care.Why?Because it’s pointless to care, about something that changes the moment you think about.I was born as a human farmer, grown into a knight of a knightly order, became anContinue reading “Fate”

Stereotypes

I really love and hate stereotypes.Stereotypes are one of the few things that can raise both my curiosity, and anger at the same time.It’s a wonder how some oversimplified ideas, generalised views about certain activities, regions or even people can spread not just locally, but globally as well.It’s fascinating to see how easy it isContinue reading “Stereotypes”

Time Heals Everything?

“Time heals everything…How inaccurate.”I thought to myself, as I was watching the ducks eat the bread crumbles I’ve fed them.My therapist uses these words constantly, but I doubt he knows that he’s so wrong.I looked up at the sky, and it was cloudy…just like my thoughts.I sighed, stood up, and slowly walked away from theContinue reading “Time Heals Everything?”

Eldritch

In front of me, there was this mass of rolling, wriggling, twitching cosmic matter, which flickered in and out of different forms.Sometimes, it was this moving mountain of rolling flesh, with blood seas forming underneath it, and the sound of it crawling, and hurling itself from a position to another echoed through the void, fuellingContinue reading “Eldritch”

Dreams

I often dream of scenes that need to be put on paper.But what are dreams?Are dreams just fantasies happening in my own world of choice, where my deepest desires are achieved?Are dreams my goals depicted in an exaggerated way to prompt me to strive for them?Are dreams actually different versions of our lives, happening inContinue reading “Dreams”
