The sword crashed down brutally onto her shield, raising a trail of sparks in the air and echoing with a thunderous clang. She intercepted the blow, but only just barely. Medella was panting hard, desperately trying to keep herself outside the blade’s reach, her muscles burning and her chest struggling to expand. It was only a matter of time before she could not carry on. Flicking a few sweaty strands off her forehead, she felt gratified to see that her opponent was not faring much better—Caerimonium was shaking on her feet, her normally pr...

There are few philosophical concepts as ordinary and yet as intricately woven as that of existence itself. After all, what could interest the mind more? Perhaps understanding this simple conjecture for progress could answer all of life’s toughest questions. What does it entail? Is it the years one spends alive? Or achieving a state of sentience? They can never properly pin it down, they just know when it started for them. &...

Author's note: The first part of the story describes suicidal thoughts, so please don't read this if that is upsetting to you. Also, this is a follow up to my other story "If You Must Live", but it can be read alone. The sun was shining in all his undaunted glory, chasing away any clouds foolish enough to try and mar the immaculate summer sky. A lazy breeze dispersed the afternoon heat, keeping the temperature from becoming stifling. It was a perfect day. The kind that one remembers from childhood and yet, never encounters again. Iro...

He was standing on the edge of a skyscraper, watching the horizon bloom in red, vivid steaks of light, that turned pink and orange the further they stretched. The trees in the parks, the tops of the houses, everything, seemed to be on fire. Fitting, he supposed. Lation has been waiting all year for this day. He could finally unleash his true self and engage in the games that never fail to make his spirit soar. Grimacing, the God remembered that he will have to keep his fu...

28th of January 2020 Time never makes haste when one wishes it to. It has a nasty habit of dragging on interminably, filling those who wait for something with impatience and in tragic cases, with hopelessness. There is nothing anyone can do to alter its relentless course. Praying, begging and stressing over it will gain you nothing, for time is its own master. So, the only option left is to distract yourself, wi...

She is all too familiar with what the legends make of her, with the heinous slander that monstrous men spewed to cover up their own rot. A shrewd and jealous temptress who loves nothing but power or, on the contrary, a guileless and powerless victim of the lustful old fool Merlin’s advances are her main depictions. Sometimes there is even the occasional casting of her as a motherly figure to Lancelot, the White Knight. Glaucia could bear being associated with the aforementioned lies, but she could find no shred of forgiveness for those paint...

It used to be easy, keeping track of the things that mattered. For many years Jason Mnemosyne boasted good-naturedly to his family and friends about never forgetting an appointment or a birthday. He remembers snorting mockingly when others admitted to needing a pesky calendar or, heavens forbid, a cell phone to help them remember. Oh how he laughed in the privacy of his own mind, never thinking that such a day would come his way. And yet it had. He first started to notice it a...
