Unbeknown to the vanishing witch, under the #ash a #fragment of the tablet shone.
Its spell too powerful for her old & weak body, she’d been thrust back to the time of the Salem trials.
Her familiar meowed in hunger, she’d been left unfed.

They fell in love on an island named #Driftwood, far beyond the #geography we know.
It's been years since their bubble #burst. He's no longer sure what was real or illusion.
Now he looks for her in dreams, #sailing spaces in between.
Searching for ever after.

The #Emberveil, a land where sunlight is broken by clouds in the sky and the air shimmers with dreams. It is a place of rest, where weary souls reside between life and death. Unlike Purgatory, there is no torture here.
I didn't expect to arrive here. They assured me it was fate.

A #starwoven constellation, that was what the astrologer called it. A new combination of stars surrounding a glowing orb. The astronomer said the orb was an nebula, an explosion from millions of years ago.
But it didn't stop the soothsayers from their predictions of gloom and doom.

I've always found the night comforting, not frightening. The hoot of the owl, the sweet melody of #ravensong, the endless chirp of the nightingale. There's a symphony, if you listen closely.
This is when I put their music to paper so they can be heard.

A one handed war pick made of meteorite iron, the curved blade like a sickle and the pommel decorated with spikes. #Ironfang, he named it, and it lived up to that name during the wars.
Generations later, the weapon adorned the chieftain's wall in the times of peace.

#Phantom pains racked her body. The doctors and chemists could not explain their origin. The wisewomen claimed she was cursed. They all suggested cures, but none gave her any relief.
The princess prayed for deliverance, but years passed, and none came. Then the wizard arrived.

Unseen tentacles slithered through the ever-dusk fog of the forest. Any living things they encountered were unceremoniously abducted and pulled, screaming, past the rattling boneyard and thrown into the abyssal hellscape behind the secret door.

A land of perpetual night, #Everdusk. There was always a hint of glow on the horizon, as if the sun was about to rise, but it never did. Purple florescent flowers, pale skinned ghouls, and eerie faerie lights on rocky paths.
Those who ventured within never returned.

Wondering; still trying to figure out what's behind the sacred door?
A lot of whispering was heard, related to loving or hating?
Maybe insipid idealism; soon we'll know the score.

She touched the door to the vault in a particular pattern and it creaked open. Inside was a treasure trove of magical artifacts: wands, staves, grimoires.
