Summary
What if Brom had run sooner—farther?
If, instead of carving out a resistance in shadow and silence, he had fled with Selena and her child to the very edges of the Empire—beyond where the King's breath could reach, beyond even the memory of oaths and fire—what would they have become?A girl- born of Morzan’s blood but shaped by forest air and her mother’s hands. Would she have grown brave and sharp-edged like Selena, or would the old cruelty have shown in her gaze when no one was looking?
This is a story of the life that almost was—a life not traced in ash and vengeance, but in moss-lined paths and quiet defiance.
No blades, no Riders. Just a man who chose love over war, a woman who had already lost too much, and the child between them who might have rewritten everything.She might have learned to name wildflowers before weapons. To read the wind before the language of runes.
She might have laughed like a child should—soft, unburdened, unguarded.
She might have remained unseen.But peace is a thin veil.
And even in the deep woods, some hungers do not sleep.
The past does not stay buried. It watches. It waits.
And sometimes, it sends a name instead of a shadow. -

Summary
"Truths are often changed, twisted by the tongues of time, into something of a stranger to its actualities. Some, however, are preserved and written down, but the hands that write often change a word or a fact or two, shifting the story, spinning in their own way and after a time untruths become our history." -A tale of the Menoa Tree.

Summary
“What is that?”
“Am I to presume you’ve lost your sight as well as your wits?”
“No, I was only--”
An exasperated scoff, “Only wasting my time, as well as your own. It’s a child-- a girl, if I need be specific.”
“May I ask why you are bringing this... child into our home?”
“You’ve never needed my permission to ask inane questions before." The woman laughs abruptly, but her voice is grave again when she speaks, "No need to make faces, girl. This once, I shall indulge you: No. You may not ask. You will not get any answers from me. Nor, do I suspect, will you find many with her.”
You wake up in a body that is not your own, in a world you only ever saw through a screen. The threads of the future are in your hands, but there are years yet until the story unfolds... and Flemeth is watching you.
