    Private Tales The Ballad of Broken Dreams

    Food would be hard to keep down after spending so much time caged by iron, but the Nightfairen did not wish to be seen as ungrateful. The biscuits were separated from the meat left for her, and gingerly she began to nibble into it. It was sweet, perhaps stale too, but it was better to taste this...

    Private Tales The Ballad of Broken Dreams

    She was weak despite the strength, and what little of it, began to return to her after being free from the cage mixed with iron. As she dangled up in the air, exposed for all to see, Ophiryn entered a state that allowed her to recuperate. It was possibly the longest time she had a moment of...

    She presented them with her back. Let them see the deformity of her wings, the way they hung drooped behind her. When she had been captured long ago, they started on her wings. Plucked and clipped, until one owner had sawn them both off. When he realised how slow it took for wings to regrow, she...

    Private Tales The Ballad of Broken Dreams

    Salt was known to corrode, and she wondered if it's sharpness will ever stop irritating her nose every time she breathed in. It clung to everything, not that she could see past the drapery over her cage. It was made from iron and steel, leeching from her energy every hour, but still, she...
