Exile
Everything was pain and darkness for Angrath as he lay there on the floor, grasping at his neck and struggling for breath. He should be dead and he knew it. His wound, the bite he’d received, had torn away the majority of his neck and then… Angrath struggled to both remember and forget those next…

Valley of Flowers

Quiet peaceful life Everyone’s hope for next year Only time will tell Leaves upon the tree Cling so tightly through winter Your time is far gone Why do we do this Tiny creatures that we love Who is the keeper Holidays go by Perhaps we are alone now Brief separation
