HarleyTheQueer
On a stormy night, deep in the woods of Valbosco, a lonely inn stands flickering with lanternlight.
Caelan, a young elven apprentice sent on a simple errand, finds shelter from the rain-but not from trouble. Inside the inn, he meets Thamira, the sharp-tongued innkeeper, and Kretch, a goblin with too many secrets and an eye for opportunity.
Three strangers, one storm, and a night full of shadows, questions, and unspoken magic.
A short fantasy tale about chance meetings, hidden motives, and the quiet tension before everything changes.
