A Time for Tales



I have had legions of quiet times. I spend time with my daughter in Ar. I visit my daughter in Port Kar, I fawn over my grandchild, and I wait.

For long years I have been adrift, my sails tattered by doubts, my navigation blinded by the fog of forgetfulness, for I have forgotten what it is like to live.

There is a tale to tell, one yet unwritten, a story that writhes just on the cusp of the next horizon, one that will become a history written not in ink, but in blood. Cold revelations reel around my head, a taste of winter taunting my tongue. I see, but I do not yet understand.

A storm is coming, one of ice and iron, forged from night and tempered with controlled chaos.

And I am ready.
