All Ends Cold and Wild A fairytale by the Oneiroi, translated.All Ends Cold and Wild by ~Flamsmark
They have travelled far and wide, the lonely man of many faces and his faithful follower. They've heard the hints of the dark dog begotten of time's storm; won the battle at the falls of Stheno's youngest, cursed sister; and each escaped Anesidora's entrapping tomb.
They travel together in an ancient, stolen vessel, inadequately maintained, and insufficiently repaired. The interior is spacious, filled with the technical apparatus needed to pilot such a complex craft. The workmanship is arcane: once beautiful and elegant, now extensively jury-rigged, a half-working relic of the majestic civilization wh

and you know that they're afraid
and you know that - when you catch them -
something will happen
but you don't know what
and you don't know
