There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

"Serenity, I promise I will not hurt you." The Winter Soldier assures me and I back away again. Fear was written plainly across my body. "You have no right to call me that." I hiss at him as I back up again. I trip and I fall landing on my injured wrist again. I wince but before I can protest, the Winter soldier was kneeling next to me. "Let me help." He whispers as he takes my injured wrist in his human one. "I'm Bucky now." His eyes search mine. I knew this was my Bucky. The one who tended my wounds after the Winter Soldier caused them. "You said that last time." I whisper so he can just hear. His eyes are filled with my same pain. "It's a promise I intend to keep it this time." His metal hand gently touches my hand and I visibly wince. The pain was pretty bad and the cold from his arm brought back bad memories. "Let us help you."
