《Bloom》Seedling 2

Dungeons are rather quiet places.
I’ve been given a lot of time to think down here.
After a long period of sleep, it came to me in a dream.
I am not actually crazy.
Why? Hah! Because, there is a perfectly good reason for hearing a second voice in my head.
Russssstle.
Exactly!
Because there’s two souls in this body.
The questions, the constant nagging, the unwillingness to experiment further with fire mana manipulation…
It’s all you!
Russstle. Russstle.
Admit it!
Rustle...
Exactly. I admit, I wouldn’t have figured it out, but you waved those branches one too many times against the wind.
What? There isn’t wind in dungeons?
Ah, you are right, that’s the giant lizard sleeping off to the side.
Rustle.
Don’t pretend you had nothing to do with this situation! I was going to melt those goblins into liquid artwork, but nooooooooooooo.
Someone didn’t want to make waves in the new territory.
Rustle.
Well yes, it is slightly possible something could have gone wrong with my intended use of mana.
Rustle.
What the hell! It isn’t like I’ve been using mana my whole life. We used electricity where I came from.
Russssssssstle?
Bottled lightning, we captured lightning elementals and learned the secrets of forcing them to do our bidding. I mean, that’s basically the closest thing to what we did.
Rusttttttle.
Is that shock and awe I hear?
Ruuuuuuustle.
Well of course, I mean, I could do it. If you really wanted proof.
Rustle.
Let me get this straight, you don’t want me to melt goblin masses into grosteque artwork….
However it’s ok to open a portal to a highly unstable Elemental Plane of Lightning in order to capture and tame one of the denizens there?
Rustle.
What do you mean all we have to do is not wake the lizard and it’s all fine?
Does that sound logical at all?

Pistol Sunday
Deep within the heart of the bustling megacity of New Dwarden lies the symbol for life’s innate need for ingenuity and adventure. Under the city’s many winding gears, towering metallic homes, and exploding pistons, are the mysterious Midnight Trains. While the train’s purposes aren’t entirely known by the public, most know them as the divine bridge between the spirit world and the land beneath their feet. Some say the trains were gifted from the spirit world in an effort to achieve complete harmony between spirits and humans alike while some note a more nefarious construct of warped human desire. Nevertheless, it is known that when a ticket to board a Midnight train is printed, the passengers must “oblige”. Tonight’s ticket is a very special one and with it comes a request for a journey beyond the tracks. Welcome aboard the famous Whisky Sunday on it’s most infamous of nights.

8 186Ashen Ghost
Gravelroy, the last free city, giant metropolis. All ethnicities, cultures, and religions can be found there. Merchants, sailors, criminals, everyone is welcome inside its walls. Everyone but a king, the free citizens don't kneel. But some rulers on the continent would like for this to change... A country bumpkin coming to the Big City. Raised by the wilderness as much as the war. Turned criminal by necessity. A wounded and insane woman. A monster lurks in her prison. She struggles to regain her memories and dreams of escape. A tiny, insignificant meeting. It will send ripples through the world. Given time, ripples can become waves. With enough luck, once in a very long while, a wave will turn into a storm. Slaves, commoners, and soldiers. Bishops too, kings even. Perhaps the Emperor himself. Everyone will feel it. But for now, the stubborn little rock has yet to fall into the waters. He has quite a long way to go in fact. Let's give him a little nudge, shall we? With chance, something might happen. Life can be unpredictable. Especially when we consider the adventures of a crazy girl and a weird lad. Things might get dramatic as the prelude suggested, or they might decide to do as they want and go nuts. Maybe a bit of both. The girl will fight against her own mind, her prison, and her fate. Who imprisoned her and why? But maybe she has imagined everything. She is mad after all. To save someone dear, the boy fights hunger and city guards. Sometimes pigeons as well. Well, this city is cracked anyway. Cover art by Paul Lerouvillois.
