in deepest hollow of our minds

for @evanurisweek

The two of them, Elgar’nan and Mythal, revel in their victory. Together in their power, together with the other spirits who have manifested, they have brought down their first Titan. The elves, in their triumph, have already set to work, tapping and breaking through the rock-hard exterior of the fallen Titan, carving into the veins to draw forth the glorious blue glow and potency of its blood - lyrium.

The elves have taken their fill of it, already planning for the next wave of spirits who wish to manifest, working with urgency and careful attention to carry the lyrium spilling forth back to their growing home, the foundation of the first dynasty they will raise in glory. Oh, the designs that Elgar'nan and Mythal have.

As the last elf leaves the site, bearing the final vessels filled with lyrium, Mythal and Elgar’nan remain behind, standing in the wake of it, staring upon their victory.

Day 1 prompt: Elgar'nan

You wake. Everything aches.

The sharp tang of iron coats your tongue, and the thready beat of your pulse thrums along your neck.

With great effort you open your eyes, flinching from the blinding sun that filters through the canopy of leaves above. You roll to your side, and a flare of pain races along your spine. Your vision blurs. You blindly reach your hand out to brace against the tall object in front of you. Rough, textured, like bark. A tree? The shifting shadows and dappled sunlight flickering through the leaves makes your head spin. Nausea twists through your gut.

After a moment of labored breathing, your vision clears. Your eyes land on a scrap of parchment abandoned in the roots of the tree, crumpled and damp as though it was recently clenched in a sweaty grip. There is writing. The scrawled lines are blurred but still legible.

Come to the ruins. You will find what you seek there.

"What I seek?" you croak.

A flicker of recognition. The handwriting is familiar, yet your mind is a haze of emptiness and confusion. Where are you? And... who are you?

You stand, brushing leaves and sticks from your cloak. The fabric is worn at the seams, and the tattered ends sway in the breeze. A gust of wind slams into you, nearly toppling you to the ground. You twist, eyes squinting against the sun - one hand raised to shadow your face while the other braces your weight against the tree.

You stand near the edge of a cliff. Before you lies a valley so thickly forested that you cannot see the ground beneath the tree canopy. Across the valley your eyes catch on something, something nestled into the base of mountains and crawling up to the highest peak. Spindly structures - buildings - ebb and flow like vines along the face of the mountains. The jagged bones of decrepit towers pierce the sky along the crest of the mountains. Crumbling buildings on islands of stone halo the highest peak.

"The ruins," you murmur.

Your grip tightens around the note. The folds of the parchment fit neatly into the creases of your palm.

You are faced with a choice. Do you:

⟡ Descend into the valley

⟡ Discard the parchment note and abandon your journey

Sleepers Peace @copperboltsblog has suggested that the concept of the sculpture of the same name by Greet Desal would be great do with Henry and his animal companions - and I totally agree! So here's my take on it |06052026

Fandom: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pairing: Hans Capon/Henry of Skalitz Rating: Explicit/Mature For Sir Hans Capon, the act of giving is arguably not a sin. But his curiosity gets the better of him and he asks Henry to try returning the deed. The problem now is that the two of them are playing a different game entirely...

"Teach me, eh?" Hans climbed over him, leveraging his weight to press Henry's body further into the ground and planting his lips against Henry's brow as he spoke. He traveled lower, a loving assault that ended just below his chin.
