“So where’s this #gateway between worlds? We’ve been in these woods for an hour. I thought you had directions. You’re just #winging it, aren’t you? I’m going back to the #village. Which way is it?” “Right here. It’s the gateway between life and death.”

The #storyteller soaked them all in a deluge of words. Zelda scribbled faithfully with her #pencil, but the #ocean dried up on the page. In reading, the magic was #absent, the words insubstantial as the #fluff under the sofa. #366FF #whistpr #flexvss #sunthing #vss365
“It’s such a long #journey, milord, and you’ve got a nice castle already.”
“It’s just what kings do, Sir Talbot. #Daring adventures and #invading foreign lands is expected.”
