Story
IRONSONG FORGE
Am Rande des Abgrunds stand IRONSONG FORGE, Bard and Storyteller, ein Kind von Minor Races, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
IRONSONG 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 IRONSONG 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 IRONSONG. 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.
Forge has been composing an original song, something truly his own, not learned or copied. He’s terrified to perform it, afraid that it won’t be “real” enough.. Das war die Last, die IRONSONG trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Minor Races 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 IRONSONG? IRONSONG ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Minor Races, 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.
