Story

BRISTLECOG WEAPONSMITH

Zwischen den Welten stand BRISTLECOG WEAPONSMITH, Defensive Weapons Engineer, ein Kind von Gnomes, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.

BRISTLECOG 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 BRISTLECOG 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 BRISTLECOG. 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.

Bristlecog has discovered a defensive technology so effective that it could make its possessor virtually invulnerable, and virtually unstoppable if turned to offense. He’s hidden the research, terrified of what would happen if anyone learned of it.. Das war die Last, die BRISTLECOG trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.

Die anderen in Gnomes 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 BRISTLECOG? BRISTLECOG ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Gnomes, 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.
