The smoke hit the back of my throat, harsh and familiar, a welcome burn in the frozen air. I exhaled slowly, watching the grey plume twist and vanish into the endless, dark snowfall above. The flakes fell thick and silent, muffling the world, burying it. My gaze drifted down, past the swirling re...

The drone of the academy’s teacher voice washed over me, a slurring wave of facts about the first great Shinobi War crashing against the shores of my profound indifference. Chalk dust hung in the afternoon sunbeams slanting through the high windows, motes dancing like lazy fireflies in the stif...

The compound gate loomed, heavy wood banded with iron that gleamed dully in the late afternoon sun. It wasn’t forbidding, not exactly. More like… watchful. An eye half-lidded, observing the world beyond its walls. Home. The word felt strange on my tongue, a pebble worn smooth by conflicti...

Perfection was in my opinion akin to a mirage shimmering on desert sands. A fool’s errand, something forever approached, never touched. Yet, if anything in this fractured, god-haunted world I was now living in, brushed against its ghost… it was the quiet rhythm of these past days. Tha...

The silence that followed the duel breathed like a living organ, pulsing through pillars re-knitted from slag and bone-white ash. I sat upon the fractured lip of a colonnade that ought to have folded into dust, my calves swinging above the bruised darkness where a floor no longer existed. It woul...

There was a time before endings. A world that had not learned to fracture. A silence older than words, too pure for prayer. In that place, life did not end because it had never begun. There were no corpses because there were no births. It was a realm sealed in symmetry, unmoving, untouchab...

The only thing that mattered right now was getting used to it all, to my body that had changed and what better more dependable way of doing such other than hitting a deity in the face.
I didn't completely summon my armour. After all, what would be the point in trying to test the limits of m...

Hecate moved as I stepped outside the dilapidated building Thalia had chosen like shelter. She moved with No rustle. No whisper. Just intent—folded neatly into every twitch of her fingers. Green mist followed her like a toxic fog. The mist had no source. It wasn’t born from her mouth, h...

I do not remember the first the time I loved her.
Perhaps it was when I first saw her smile, a toothless one that had felt at that moment like the purest thing that could be, one I had decided the moment I saw it that I never wanted to be gone, to have someone hammer the joy in it until it ...

There are thresholds you cross where turning back is no longer a choice, where the smell of ash clings to your skin, not because you walked through fire, but because you set the fire yourself. You can lie to others. You can even lie to yourself if you're good at it—paint the pyres as sacrifices...

I woke up gazing at a different sky.
I wish I had been metaphorical, that it had been allegorical but it was not. A purple sky welcomes my vision with dark stars doting the horizon seemingly as endless as the grain of sand on a beach.
I honestly hadn’t expected to wake up. Wit...

In a sanctum where time's essence wove its intricate patterns, the Moirai convened. Before them stretched the vast loom of existence, each thread a life, a destiny, a story unfolding. Yet now, an unsettling transformation marred the once harmonious weave. Threads that had long intertwined with pu...

Hecate was old.
Not in the way mortals measured time—not in centuries or millennia, but in the slow, unfathomable crawl of existence itself. She was older than civilization, older than the first fires kindled by trembling hands in the dark. She had been young when the sun and ...

One step forward, two steps back. That is how I felt.
