"Les mots sont puissants. La plupart du temps, ils sont bien vivants. Parfois, ils le sont plus que moi. D'encre noire ou bleue, ils peuvent me plonger en émoi. Quand ils sont déchaînés, ils peuvent piquer. Les mots sont puissants. Avec une lame à double tranchant, Tantôt plume taquine et caressante. Trop souvent plume rugueuse utilisée à mauvais escient. Plus de fois que nécessaire, je les ai vus laisser une marque. Tracer un sillon de larmes sur un visage déjà mouillé. Pousser un sang bouillant à se répandre en flaque. Comme vous, je ne suis qu'une âme qui se cherche, Qui tombe et s'écorche les genoux, Mais qui panse toujours ses plaies. Comme vous, j'ai un cœur de verre, Trop coloré selon certains fous. Plein de taches mais pas assez fissuré. Comme vous, j'apprends encore à nager. A choisir ma plus belle plume, Pour m'affranchir et cesser de faire le guet. Alors fermez les yeux et respirez. Ensemble, apprenons à flotter sur une encre troublée."

I'm nothing special. I'm nobody. I don't stand out. Well... I didn't stand out before, now my face is plastered all over the news. I never used to be something special, now I'm a wanted fugitive. I used to be nobody, now every soldier knows my name, my face, my crimes. Where did I go wrong? I'm sitting in a cold interrogation room. I keep telling myself this is the right thing to do, that I made the right decision, that this will help Vicki and Nick. All of my friends back home. Is it?

***First Five Chapters Only, Whole is Published*** The laws of the legion are eternal, handed down by the gods of the Imperium themselves. Out of the ashes left by the great cataclysm that was the end of a world, the Princes of Iron arose and forged themselves a dominion ever expanding and engulfing the lands around theirs. Called demons by the other races, the Divine Princes rule with thaumaturgy at their beck and call, unfeeling and perfect. Within the legions, dark engines of destruction and conquest, glimmers of light sometimes appear. For Tita Nautia Helva and the soldiers of Fourth Legion, such a suggestion strikes just in time to shake their world down to its foundations. The question in the aftermath is simple: who will you become?

(Rewrite is going on RoyalRoad) Every dwarven city has its Spark, one that grants life to the great artifices carved into living rock and cruel steel by the god Tek himself. A machine set in motion when the turning of the world began again, Dhuldarim has survived millennia without faltering. Until now. The Spark, it seems, is going out. Divine help is impossible: the great god Tek is silent, slumbering where none can reach. The ingenuity of dwarves is their only hope of salvation. To return the Spark, a great power is needed-power that can only be found in the Deep. To trespass so into the depths of the earth is suicide even for a dwarf, but the Heartforge has spoken: Tali Khondurahl must go, and go alone. There are things that live in the Deep, they say, that dream of the red flower wielded by the dwarves. They dream...and they hate. Aided on her journey by a golem of stone, a siren freed from eternal imprisonment in the Deep, a human mage far from home, a strange deep-dweller, and a scion of her people's most ancient foe, Tali must face an evil so powerful it has survived the millenium since the Revealing without interruption, lording over a dominion of misery and subjugation. With every leg of the journey, loyalties become increasingly divided. In the end, it is her choices that shape the future of Dhuldarim and its ancient enemies alike.
