Story
SILAS MOURN
Am Rande des Abgrunds stand SILAS MOURN, Gravedigger and Cemetery Keeper, ein Kind von Humans Azaria, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
SILAS 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 SILAS 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 SILAS. 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.
He’s discovered that some of the graves in the oldest part of the cemetery are empty, and he’s been quietly investigating what happened to the bodies.. Das war die Last, die SILAS trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Humans Azaria 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 SILAS? SILAS ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Humans Azaria, 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.

Distinguishing Marks: His face is deeply lined; he smells of earth and decay; his fingernails are permanently black.
