Story
RIDDLEMASTER ENIGMA
Zwischen den Welten stand RIDDLEMASTER ENIGMA, Riddle Keeper and Truth Seeker, ein Kind von Fey, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
RIDDLEMASTER 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 RIDDLEMASTER 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 RIDDLEMASTER. 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.
They’re dying. Each answer they give drains them slightly, and they’ve given so many that they’re running out of self to give. They’re desperately seeking the answer to their own existence, hoping it will save them, or at least let them understand why they’re ending.. Das war die Last, die RIDDLEMASTER 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 RIDDLEMASTER? RIDDLEMASTER 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.
