⌂ Story

Kaethe’s father died when they were only two years old. They barely remember him, his face has turned into sepia, just like the haunting paintings of him on the walls of a house they have long moved out of, and his voice echoes silently through their mind as if someone has turned off the sound and left the few images of long forgotten times run on repeat. What remained after his tragic death was a mother in tears and the faint smell of fresh earth, its source a memory Kaethe can’t seem to recollect. Soon her mother married again, a much richer man, a much older man, a much rougher man. She bore a child from him, and he insisted that they should all wear his name in honour. In honour of himself, as if taking charge of Kaethe was worth an accolade, as if he was the hero of the nightmare that was soon Kaethe’s life. If only he had noticed that he was the one who inflicted the nightmares upon his children.

Ilke is the name of Kaethe’s sister, and the love they have for each other is infinite. Wherever you go, I will follow, and I will fight the beasts along your way. Yet, when time came and Ilke was enrolled in Schluchtenburg, their paths were forked in two. Ilke refused to go, she screamed and scratched and spat upon her father’s name to make him let Kaethe come with her to this place, which promised to be happiness and freedom like they never had it before. It was a fortunate turn of fate that a year later,Schluchtenburg opened its gates for everyone, and Kaethe was allowed to join their beloved sister. It is not like memories of home and the upcoming holidays don’t still scare them every day and every night of their life, but at least sometimes, when they stroll through the forest’s hidden trails and is engulfed by the scent of fresh earth, they’re allowed to feel so wonderfully free. Haus Bronze is their new home now, and though their sister lives across the valley, they are close, and see each other every day. It is not much, but quite enough to make Kaethe smile with each new day that rises. And without their sister around, they are ready to fight for their new friends. They live and laugh, but mostly fight, fight to keep their house-mates safe. They never had many friends before, but it seems so easy to love and be loved when the people around you feel as beaten as you’ve always been.
