A Facet for the Gem
“He’d dwelt below for so long, undisturbed, but the youngest would soon seek him out, and the other would no doubt show him the way. And though he had eluded that one for so many centuries, he could not elude them both, not for long.
He would never have peace, he lamented. They would find him, sooner rather than later. It was only a matter of time now, and he would have nowhere left to retreat.
Morlen quivered as they stood so menacingly around him, cold eyes stabbing deeper than their... blades soon would. They barked with satisfaction, savoring each torturous moment while preparing to finish him.

Screaming in sorrow, he rolled over the shadowy edge of a cliff, falling to his death.MoreLess
