Story
GORATH THE TAX COLLECTOR
Wo die Schatten länger werden stand GORATH THE TAX COLLECTOR, Revenue Officer for the Dragon Territories, ein Kind von Dragons, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
GORATH war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte GORATH geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in GORATH. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
Gorath has discovered that a significant portion of dragon territory revenue is being siphoned off by corrupt officials, including some of the most respected wyrms. He has documented everything but is terrified to come forward, fearing retaliation.. Das war die Last, die GORATH trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Dragons sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und GORATH? GORATH ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Dragons, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.
