[WP] You step into the throne room with weapon at the ready. The king eyes you with disdain as you draw near. He knows the end is near. His voice is solemn yet sad as his only words split the cold silence like a knife through the air, "Why?" | King Ilgard's voice filled the throne room, commanding, pleading. "Why?" He asked.
"You ask questions you do not deserve answers to, my king." Weyland replied, standing defiantly at the great doors, Dragonslayer Lance held at the ready. He began his approach down the promenade.

The word quietly escaped from the king’s lips and shot through the silence of the vast, grand, room he sat in. The man before him looked confused for a second before bursting into a roar of laughter, violently shaking the short silence. He convulsed and bent his body as the laughter rolled uncontrollably out of... | 3 | 0 | 11 | 26,671 |
[WP] You step into the throne room with weapon at the ready. The king eyes you with disdain as you draw near. He knows the end is near. His voice is solemn yet sad as his only words split the cold silence like a knife through the air, "Why?" | The knife spins between the Wraith's fingers; she is thinking, seriously considering his question. Disbelief passes over the King's features for one moment, and a spot of hope that he can bargain; but he knows better. He is a ruthless king, and she is a silent assassin. She will not listen. She will not - perhaps canno... | 3 | 0 | 11 | 26,672 |
[WP] You step into the throne room with weapon at the ready. The king eyes you with disdain as you draw near. He knows the end is near. His voice is solemn yet sad as his only words split the cold silence like a knife through the air, "Why?" | He had no idea what it was like. He wouldn't understand if I tried to explain. It simply had to be done.
He'd known for a while. He'd tried to fight the plot but I had outmanoeuvred him one time too many. A lot of good men had died for this. I did regret that.
But it had to be done. I steeled myself. The sword was sho... | 1 | 0 | 11 | 26,673 |
[WP] You step into the throne room with weapon at the ready. The king eyes you with disdain as you draw near. He knows the end is near. His voice is solemn yet sad as his only words split the cold silence like a knife through the air, "Why?" | The new queen slew the last defender to the throne room and stepped through the wide entryway trailing blood from her stained white dress amid a chorus of gasps from the King and his body guard. She had regicide on her mind, loathing in her eyes, and the dripping blood on her sword to mean it.

[WP] three strangers sit in solitude on a swing set in an old and rusted park, side by side at 3 am. Then after nearly an hour of silence, that utter stillness is broken. | Three strangers sit in solitude,
Bound by chains of fate,
They exchange no platitude,
But they know it's growing late,
An hour passes them by,
The clock now strikes four,
A shadow passes in the sky,
Thus begins the hidden war,
Twas shadow that struck first,
Leaving chaos in it's wake,
And creatin... | 2 | 0 | 3 | 26,675 |

In solitude of the old set to rot
Sun reveling in victory via wrinkling
Bladders in inability to control tinkling.
Four of the almost-dead, practically dead
A Janine, A Charlie, An Eliza, A Ned.

The clouds scoured the sky, hiding the moon just so as to allow the greyness to seep into every space, the grey envelope of the world. The shadows and the grey played tricks on her vision.

[WP] - The New Cost Of Living | We were meant to live for so much more. The bigger they got, the more they could lean on us. A monopoly on life, sold to the highest ambition. They aimed for the skies, but no higher; and we learned that the day romance finally died was when they showed us the true meaning of the phrase "take your breath away."

Looking back, I was blinded, and remained so until I continued forward, leaving it behind me. The memory is lost to me, although I shiver at it's edges, haunted by a feeling of utter *wrongness* that I have no desire to recall. That was the first circle.
