The cave was damp, the air thick with the scent of moss and something faintly musky that Jewel couldn’t quite place. Her boots moved silently over the uneven stone floor, each step a practiced dance of precision. She was a thief, after all—one of the best in the Five Valleys. Her fingers twitched with anticipation as she neared the troll’s hoard, a glittering pile of gold, jewels, and trinkets that gleamed faintly in the...

The sorrow in my heart has dried away. I feel famished, but food does nothing to dampen my hunger. There is only one kind of nourishment that can replenish me. Pain burns within, and my mind battles with my body for control. Sometimes I give in to my desires and leave my shelter, but the moment I see them, sickness wells up in me. I feel like throwing up. They do not know how close to destruction they have been as I crawl...

The first feelings of doubt have entered my mind. I have never felt this before. My life is miserable, but I have never regretted my decisions before. Why does this come to me now? What has triggered these emotions? I cannot find the answer. Stilling the hunger has become my only relief on these dark nights. I think of her every day.

This is the first night in a long time that I lay my eyes upon my lover. I have heard him several nights in a row, calling my name and wandering restlessly through the deep forest.

The summer is in its prime, and the moon shines strongly. The sun has just crept behind the horizon and leaves its golden sheen on the clouds at the far edge of the world. “I had a hard time escaping this time. They are beginning...

His kisses make me wild with desire, and the cock plunging deep into me summon screams of lust and ecstasy . I nearly faint as his constant thrusts throw me over the edge of orgasm, and I come. Hands grip firmly into the grass. Heels dig into the wet ground. My back arches and my chest rapidly rises and falls. I can feel the pulsing sensation as he empties his load in my depths. Still, he continues for another few thrust,...

“Be careful, boy. There are things in the forest that would scare any man out of his wits. I would not wish for you to experience everything I have been through. It may have been over a century ago, but the creatures of the forest do not fade like humans. It’s the same with their hatred towards the daywalkers.” “You want to know what happened to me? I’ll tell you if you promise to leave as soon as the day breaks, and neve...
