Decay Stories

These are not merely poems, they are echoes carved into the silence of existence. Each piece explores the fragile boundary between creation and decay, between the divine and the forgotten, between the self and the infinite. Here, light is both a wound and a witness. Time breathes, gods fall quiet, and the universe remembers itself through ruin. Every word is an attempt to translate the language of the void, to give sound to what was never meant to be heard. Welcome to a realm where the cosmos decays beautifully, and every verse burns with the quiet fire of awareness.

The immortal founders are dead, leaving the black-blooded Truebloods in peril. Dying Emperor Edward must choose between his twin sons: Verdurian, the golden heir, and Darkion, the crippled exile from the Arctic North. Fearing a coup, Verdurian's Empress-mother sends him east to Eusaeria to raise an army and seize his own throne. Meanwhile, in frozen Arckend, the mutationless Darkion renounces his bloodline and serves the Wards who raised him. But when a letter names him heir, paranoia ignites. To protect him, his Ward sends him into the cursed Dark Country to awaken a titan-killing beast. Instead, he wakes a vampire god. Cursed and lifeless, Darkion returns possessed, his undead legions devouring the North's capital until one man sacrifices himself to end the horror. The castle burns. The boy dies. In the East, Verdurian's war against tribal king Herant collapses when he kills his own bastard son. Unaware a demonic bargain saved him, he survives a divine strike and awakens marked with burning silver scars. He returns to ruin and exile. In the capital, Darkion survives an assassination by his sister. Their black blood binds; their hair turns violet-the color of the gods. Deified, they now want to force the crown upon their heads yet his heart remains in the North. Returning North, the man who raised him drives a sword through Darkion's chest. But Katrien pulls him from death. Wounded, Darkion takes the throne he never wanted: The Crown of Ice. The coronation shatters the realm. Verdurian, forged in flame, returns to claim the crown but is branded heretic for his forbidden bargains. Hunted, he steals the last World Titan from Edward's line. War erupts. Verdurian crushes the capital. Darkion is betrayed and cast again into the cursed dark as his brother rises beyond mortality. The world's fate rests on two sons: one crowned in silver flame, one buried in ice and blood.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing serious dental problems. During routine visits, dentists detect early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections before they become severe. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing might miss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum inflammation. Early detection through X-rays and oral examinations allows timely treatment of issues like cavities, root infections, and oral cancer, saving patients from complex procedures and higher costs later. Additionally, regular visits help reinforce proper oral hygiene habits and provide personalized guidance for a healthier smile.

They say the void was born hungry. A hollow thing that devours light, laughter, and the warmth of living souls. When a fragment of that darkness fell upon a carnival, it found something it had never known before-color, music, joy. It reached out like a child touching flame... and the flame burned back. Now, The Wake returns every year, a traveling festival that blooms at twilight and dies with the dawn. By day, it dazzles with color and song. By night, it feeds. The workers smile because they must. The calliope plays because it cannot stop. And when the drums begin to thunder, the void itself opens its eyes. Those who stay past sunrise are never seen again-only heard, in the laughter that keeps the void dreaming. Step right up, traveler. The show is about to begin. And once you've entered The Wake, there's no leaving the tent before the dawn.
