The Faceless Gate: A Dark Fantasy Short Story

The Door stands at the End of All Things.

Only those who do not return have seen past it's grace.
Four souls remain.
The last embers of a dead existence.

Aedric the Hollowblade-A once-great warrior whose name has outlived his triumphs.
Lirian "The Crow-Tongue"-A historian, collector of lost knowledge, and speaker of dead tongues.
Veyne the Hollow Smirk-A thief, a liar, and a survivor.
The Dead One-A shambling corpse, a nameless wanderer, neither living nor at rest.

They walk The Path of Dust and Ash, seeking the threshold where history ends.
The Path is strewn with the remnants of Great Ones who came before-whispering bones and cities that remember.

Beyond the Door, the unknown beckons.
