Imps I first mistook the Imp for a nuisance rather than a threat. Small, restless, and seemingly incapable of causing any real harm, it followed me through the forest, repeating the same little whispers until I scarcely noticed them anymore. That, I learned, is where the Imp’s true strength lies. It represents the persistent thoughts […]
Cerberus – The Incorruptible Guardian
I found him where every path eventually ends: before a gate that no map can mark. Three heads watched every direction at once, yet none looked upon me with malice. They watched only for truth. The old tales speak of Cerberus as a beast that guards the realm of the dead, but they fail to […]

With every path it revealed, another quietly disappeared into the darkness. Many fear the Djinn for the power it possesses, but […]
