Sparrowheart
It is a time of magic. Wizards rule the lands in peace, but there are those that seek to threaten the balance. They will stop at nothing to usurp the power of the wizards and mistakenly hope to bend time to their will. Caught amidst the struggle for domination are three unlikely friends: a wizard's apprentice, a shapeshifting elf, and a slave who would be king. Together they'll discover ancient truths and arcane knowledge that may help them rescue the very fabric of reality from the clutches of dark forces.
Losing Game
(TWs: gore, abuse, sexual abuse, cursing) Why does he still breathe? Why is he kept alive in this shadowed purgatory where time has no meaning, and screams are swallowed by the walls? His cell is a cage, his life a cruel experiment, and his mind a battlefield. Questions claw at him relentlessly: Who is he? What is he? Why does this torment exist? The walls bleed stories of others-lost souls whose cries still linger, haunting the air. His own voice has grown hoarse from endless screams, his body a canvas of scars, a map of suffering that tells no answers, only pain. Every day is a ritual of degradation, where faceless captors toy with his humanity, stripping him of it piece by agonizing piece. The only constant is the endless cycle of questions. Why him? Why the torture? What is their purpose? He clings to the faintest memories of a time before-fleeting images of warmth, love, a face he cannot quite recall. But even those are slipping away, devoured by the void growing inside him. In this relentless, suffocating darkness, where hope is a distant memory, only one question remains: When will the game end, and what will be left of him when it does?
