Sneak Peek - Prologue
Added 2022-10-25 11:41:58 +0000 UTCI'm still in the early stages of adding scenes to the prologue. I'm thinking of adding around 3 new scenes in total - one where the MC is still quite young (the current scene I'm working on), one where they discover what romantic relationships are and the last being something with the MC's daily life (I'm thinking a scene where the MC is bullied) and having a tender moment with Ahlf afterwards. This might change, but I will be keeping Patrons posted ๐
For now, here is a sneak peek of the MC at age 7 - when they get sick.
That night, as you lay in your tiny cot, your skin becomes hot. You can barely sleep, when your skin is slick with sweat and your blankets feel like they are strangling you. Kicking off the covers grants you a small reprieve, but the heat returns. It feels like your blood has turned into liquid fire.
Stumbling out of your cot, you pad towards the front of the door, hoping to cool the flushed heat of your skin with the night's breeze. You do not know where Ahlf is and your head feels heavy, but you manage to unlatch the door after a few tries.
It is raining when you step outside. The water cools your skin and for a moment, you can only stand there, enjoying the feel of the water dripping down your clothes and face. A sudden crack of thunder startles you. You blink, the fatigue of your fever easing as you slowly become aware of where you stand.
Another roar rumbles above you. You begin to shiver, the rain now pelting at the top of your head.
"$name!"
It takes you a moment to realise that the sound comes from Ahlf. He is standing in front of you, his fingers digging into your arms. His lips are moving but you can hardly hear him over the rain. He frowns at you, before wrapping his arms around your form and lifting you against his chest.
