Story
MOURNINGGLORY SHADOWSONG
Im Herzen des Sturms stand MOURNINGGLORY SHADOWSONG, Grief Counselor and Death Midwife, ein Kind von Fey, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
MOURNINGGLORY 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 MOURNINGGLORY 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 MOURNINGGLORY. 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.
The silver wire is failing. She’s begun to hear her own voice in her head, urging her to sing, to wail, to kill. She’s terrified that when it finally breaks, she’ll destroy everything she’s built, and everyone she loves.. Das war die Last, die MOURNINGGLORY trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Fey 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 MOURNINGGLORY? MOURNINGGLORY ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Fey, 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.
