The aether has frozen, and an egg incubates in the grand court. Humanity weighs on the scales of its worth. The creatures and spirits that dwell in the aether grow exhausted, and the Cogs of realms slow to a halt. A vicious leech waits to consume the souls in the well of the aether. A black body wishes to fill its belly. An hourglass pours its sand tediously yet vigorously till rapture. A savior of man must be elected to liberate the depths below, or existence will seize and lay in the belly of the body.

Into Your World (Complete ✔️)
"That's strange," I said thoughtfully. His brow lifted. "What is?" "I always imagined that if fiction ever stepped out of a book, it'd smell like paper. Or ink. Or something like that." I studied him with exaggerated disappointment. "But you smell human. I feel misled." His lips curved - slow, deliberate. Dangerous. "Oh, love," he murmured. "I may not smell like ink..." His steps slowed. "But I assure you," he continued, leaning closer - not enough to touch, just enough to make my pulse stutter - "I taste like it." Heat rushed to my cheeks, the blush spreading like wildfire as I stared at him, utterly shocked. "If you doubt me," he said softly, eyes dropping to my mouth, "there's a very simple way to confirm."
