The Castle

There he was, lying before me. The dagger Yuri had given me had a miraculous weight: that of hope, that of duty. Sliding it through my hand, I almost dropped it. I was badly shaking. I had envisioned doing this hundreds of times in my head, taking my father's life in a different way each time. Life is too short, I thought. It can be taken so easily...

The Castle is a short spin-off of 13, so it's edgy. 13 has a thin supernatural veneer over awkward venting from my high school days haha whatever. No one ever sat next to me on the bus or at school, so I usually pretended my imaginary friend Amarr was sitting next to me. Yeah, whatever lol.

All the characters but Trace were characters on Impressive Title, a 3D chat server made by a mutual friend that had lots of secrets, exploration, rp, ridiculously customized Lion King cats with neon colors and angel wings and everything a teen could want, and a stolen soundtrack from Morrowind. FeralHeart was the better-known sequel, but I never played it.

Trace was a blue Balkane on Verpets, a bat-like pet.
