Footfalls of Memory
Posted: Sun May 16, 2021 1:38 pm
"My Oath is Service, My Heart is Borrowed, My Dreams are Lost."
My liege was pleased to hear those words, but to me they were no more than a rooster's call. This was life. It was not an unkind one. A life of a perpetual hunt, of service and of luxury when the restless heart could still its youthful beat. But this hunt was to be my last. And my first. The first failure my lips had ever tasted.
With that memory as heavy as chains of lead I depart now my home, The City Upon the Crossroads, within the Realm that Ever Was, where the True dwell and where my dreams flee to now. Redemption is my goal, lonely are my thoughts, and sad are the eyes which now gaze upon the bleak dullness of your world.
The Journey is begun. The first footfall sounded across the mirror's edge. I am unbowing still. I am yet unbroken. I will return in triumph once more, to my Liege, the Trice-Named Baron, to my Home of Everdream, to reclaim my Name once more.
I am Gwrtheyrn, Oathsworn to the Trice-Named and my Journey is Begun.
