Patina – Chapter 173
Sadja’s eyelids fluttered. She felt so complete right now, so ready for whatever the future had in store for her. This was the ending to her journey and the start to another, and she wanted nothing more than to share it with the person who had helped her the most and who had taken her…

Patina – Chapter 172
What do I do, she asks the disembodied presence next to her. Not what have I done. Or what am I going to do, words that would be tinged with regret and doubts – concepts that by now are far behind her, fading like candles in a snowstorm. No, instead her heart, or the burning…

Patina – Chapter 171
Sadja danced with Fortunato under the lamplights. The town square was full of people, old and young together, holding their hands as they swayed back and forth to the rhythm of the music. Some were old songs from the Ereworld, that for some reason had managed to pass through long years of darkness to reach…

Patina – Chapter 170
For the world’s final happy night, the town of Belacqua decide to dress up to the nines. The building areas had been covered with white linen or cloths, so that looking to the parts of town that still bore the scars of the winter they would look fine and wouldn’t remind them of the horrors…

Patina – Chapter 169
Sadja marveled at the expanse of flowers. She walked barefoot on the tickling blades of grass, enjoying how they felt under her soles. “And you say it’s like this every year?” She exclaimed, her hands coming up to cup her cheeks.

Nata di Cera – II
Talia si svegliò con un fremito. Brandelli di sogni le ondeggiarono attorno agli occhi come uccelli in fuga, ma non riuscì ad afferrarne neanche uno. Si girò su un fianco. Sentiva freddo. Le mordeva la carne con dentini acuminati e la fece rabbrividire. Alla tenue luce lunare, Arodias sembrava una statua, chino com’era a guardare…

Dead Stars Still Burn – Post-Apocalyptic One Shot
As a weird comet descends upon the People of the Rail-Caves, they get ready to find either doom or treasure inside. Meanwhile, the comet’s own occupant gets ready to complete her mission… They came out from every hole to watch the dead star fall. The Elders had deemed it a bad omen and they had…

Patina – Chapter 167
Sadja couldn’t save much from the ruins of Fortunato’s hut, but everything she managed to find was precious. He rummaged through the debris next to her, picking up a dirty bundle of sticky paper sheets that it must have once been a book. Winter and three hordes of Eerie crushing it under their weight (and…

Patina – Chapter 166
For the first time in weeks, Sadja was helping with a joyful occasion and not just simply rebuilding or taking out bodies or fighting for her life. It was such a welcome change her heart fluttered so much in her chest! They had her assigned to the rest of the girls her age, almost all…
