Story
MASTER CRAFTSMAN HORACE BRONZEBEARD
Wo das Licht nicht reicht stand MASTER CRAFTSMAN HORACE BRONZEBEARD, Master Blacksmith and Weaponsmith, ein Kind von Humans Azaria, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
MASTER 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 MASTER 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 MASTER. 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 a technique for forging metal that could revolutionize weapon-making, but he’s afraid of what would happen if it fell into the wrong hands.. Das war die Last, die MASTER 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 MASTER? MASTER 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.
