Day 27: Sealed Fate by sumedokin

Chapter 3

Long were the nights when sir Wilfred rode over the frozen plains of Brauðblóðsokkur, and long did those plains stretch out. Bands of undulating lights spanned the night sky with a mix of rose and green, and green and rose, so fluid that its blinking became indistinguishable from...

Chapter 3

_Stuck / Mistake_ To err is to be human, and though Albin Raweksep Sierota was accustomed to success, he had long made peace with the fact that he was not and would never be perfect. No, making mistakes he could tolerate. What really bothered him was that his mistakes were never...
