This is a RE-RELEASE (again) of chapter 2. There is an entirely new segment added to the end where Sir Knight goes to the dungeon. If you read the previous version, I suggest reading this one's end half again =)

What does one do, when one encounters a problem in life that isn’t so easy to solve? What is a person to do, when the things that they want to do directly collide with the things that they don’t want to do? How does one decide which of these choices is to be weighted more heavily in the hierarchy of decisions that they must make?

The world transforms before our very eyes as the seasons pass in a never-ending cycle of change. The air grows colder, the leaves turn gold and fall to the ground, and the earth is blanketed in white. Spring arrives, and the world awakens once again, reborn in a wash of green and the bloom of flowers.

In the somber embrace of twilight's gentle caress, a solitary figure labors in the dimly-lit workshop; a delicate, lithe creature with iridescent wings, who plies her ethereal trade with fervor and finesse. Behold, the enigmatic Mirabelle, a fairy shoemaker whose nimble fingers and nimble mind are ever occupied by the weaving of dreams and the m...

It was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it?
I thought so.
For a while, it was really scary. There were so many moments when I thought we’d die, so many moments when I thought that this was it. This is the end.
But then… those moments ...

What even is the world as a whole?
Is it just a giant collection of chaotic lifeforms, running around at random intervals of time, each doing their best as individual beings to survive and thrive, sometimes banding together as groups and societies, and sometimes not doing so? Is it just a mindless race to burn time until the candlelight di...

The churning of war is such a normal facet of life for some, that the grinding of sinew and bones is to the ears of one as common and mundane as the pulverizing of wheat for the miller and baking flour for the baker.
While we are not at war in this immediate moment, it is not uncommon for the ground ...

I set such big goals and worked my butt off.
I went outside, I exercised, I practiced talking and speaking, whether to people alone or in groups, I earned money, I made friends, and I lived life.

Love is such a dangerous thing, isn’t it?
The binding of two or more souls together, the merging of the spiritual essence — what unforeseen consequences could this emotion have down the line for us?
Not just in life but after it. If souls are bound to one another ...

Death laughs at us.
Just look at this mess. Open your goddamned window and look at it. Look at the shambling wrecks that call themselves people, dragging their living carcasses down the streets. Look at the dead houses and the dead cities we’ve made. Look at the dead eyes and the cold hearts you’...

The ‘seal’, when referring to a metaphysical concept, is the locking mechanism that separates the physical from the spiritual. It is held to be commonly reasonable that every living entity has a seal of some sort present within itself, acting as a filtering mechanism to let in a specific amount of spiritual power.

Mirabelle stands there in the shoemaker’s workshop, staring at the stinky boot, her nose clenched shut and her wings buzzing behind her to signal her body’s great discomfort at this situation.
As a shoemaker, the shoemaker didn’t just make new shoes and boots, he also fixed older ones regularly. Sometimes these were just simple jobs,...

Mirabelle, the truly malevolent fairy, stares up toward the stars that fill the night sky, wondering if they’re looking down at her in much the same way as she is. However, she has her doubts about it.
The celestial bodies are all important in their own way, although the human-people might not attribute them with such status more often t...

‘What are you so afraid of?’
“Hi, I’m Mirabelle,” echoes the voice, blunting itself on the wooden walls of the interior of the tree trunk, the words being swallowed by the many heaps of soft, colorful fabrics.
Mirabelle stands there, leaned over, her palms pressed against the walls as she stares down at the ground, as if it...

Sorry for the delay on FC chapters. FC is in it's final arc of 10-15 chapters and I want them to sit perfect. In the meantime, here's a story I've been working on some more!
If you read this first version uploaded here before. Chapters 1 + 2 have been internally combined into one long chapter and this new chapter is now chapter 2. Enjoy!

What is life, really?
Days come and days go, each of them offering a new opportunity to experience such odd sensations that are granted by life. There are good feelings and there are bad feelings, both of which come and go just as fast as the other, fading to leave on back at the baseline of neutrality — painted by the tinges of what has...

"I don't know what to do," Thorne said, gesturing towards his fields of corn and wheat that lay before him. "The sun hasn't come up for days, and without it, the crops are dying."
